Pivot Point (Pivot Point #1) by Kasie West

Pivot Point (Pivot Point, #1)

Knowing the outcome doesn’t always make a choice easier . . .

Addison Coleman’s life is one big “What if?” As a Searcher, whenever Addie is faced with a choice, she can look into the future and see both outcomes. It’s the ultimate insurance plan against disaster. Or so she thought. When Addie’s parents ambush her with the news of their divorce, she has to pick who she wants to live with—her father, who is leaving the paranormal compound to live among the “Norms,” or her mother, who is staying in the life Addie has always known. Addie loves her life just as it is, so her answer should be easy. One Search six weeks into the future proves it’s not.

In one potential future, Addie is adjusting to life outside the Compound as the new girl in a Norm high school where she meets Trevor, a cute, sensitive artist who understands her. In the other path, Addie is being pursued by the hottest guy in school—but she never wanted to be a quarterback’s girlfriend. When Addie’s father is asked to consult on a murder in the Compound, she’s unwittingly drawn into a dangerous game that threatens everything she holds dear. With love and loss in both lives, it all comes down to which reality she’s willing to live through . . . and who she can’t live without.

That Escalated Quickly
I loved every single bit of this book. 

It brought out those emotions I always want to feel when a book is really good. I did not expect the story at all. It had been sitting on my book shelf for a while and now I am starting to question the books that are there. I started reading the book without reading the cover and I was shocked to see how fast we just got into everything. 
The story did not drag at all. 
I loved the plot and the writing. I was at times confused with which point of view I was in but that just me. Otherwise I loved everything and I cant wait for the next one to come out!

That Boy (That Boy #1) by Jillian Dodd

That Boy (That Boy, #1)
Review: 4/5 stars
I really liked the whole concept of the story.
This book is written like a diary therefore it tend to go off topic at times or use text message vocabulary but I did not mind at all. 
It actually made me feel more connected because it felt like I was reading someone's diary.
I have to say the book lost a star because JJ annoyed me at times. 
I still loved it.
The beginning or the end or whatever was an awesome way to start the book.

So the private-school junior keeps secrets from her wealthy parents and overbearing brothers...and she's just added two more to the list. One involves racing strangers down dark country roads in her Mustang GT. The other? Seventeen-year-old Isaiah Walker-a guy she has no business even talking to.

The Temptation of Lila and Ethan (The Secret #3) by Jessica Sorensen

The Temptation of Lila and Ethan (The Secret, #3)


Review: 1/5 stars

Sadly I did not like this.
Maybe I've read too many books about ruined childhoods but this one was just eh.
Lila was not really good on this one. She felt stiff.
Robot like maybe it was because of the drugs but she made the story feel really slow.

Finding Cinderella (Hopeless #2.5) by Colleen Hoover

Finding Cinderella (Hopeless, #2.5)

This novella is a companion novel to the Hopeless series, but can be read as a standalone. 

Poison Princess (The Arcana Chronicles #1) by Kresley Cole


Poison Princess (The Arcana Chronicles, #1)She could save the world—or destroy it.

Sixteen-year-old Evangeline "Evie" Greene leads a charmed life, until she begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When an apocalyptic event decimates her Louisiana hometown, Evie realizes her hallucinations were actually visions of the future—and they're still happening. Fighting for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux.

But she can't do either alone.

With his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin, and bad attitude, Jack is like no boy Evie has ever known. Even though he once scorned her and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. She knows she can't totally depend on Jack. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him?

Who can Evie trust?

As Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others who have gotten the same call. An ancient prophesy is being played out, and Evie is not the only one with special powers. A group of twenty-two teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and evil. But it's not always clear who is on which side.
Review: 2/5 stars
This wasn't a favorite for me.
I tried really hard to like the characters but some of them did not work for me at all. 
I didn't like Jack at all. He seemed a little bit sketchy for me. I couldn't figure him out. He would be super sweet one second then rude the next. I couldn't keep up.
Don't get me started Evie. She wasn't horrible but if I had to rank my heroines she will be really down there. I was really hoping to like this but I was really disappointed. I think it was the characters who really blew it for me. The writing style was great and the idea of the story, other than a few things, was really good. I finished the book so it couldn't have been that bad. I might even checkout the next one.
