Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger

 

 13445306

Soon there will be a giveaway for this very novel! And since it will be a giveaway, I think it only polite to give a teaser! Here’s some segments from the book that I just love!

“The wind is part of who I am, and when I expose my heart to it, I feel it calling me home. The wind is all I need. Over the years, those words have become my mantra, making everything I’ve endured more bearable. But they’re not the only thing lightening my heart.”

“This is who I am.
A fighter.
A guardian.
Stronger than the Stormers.
Stronger than Vane.
Beyond all emotion.
I don’t give in to fear or pity or love. I’m the one in control.”

― Shannon Messenger, Let the Sky Fall

Let the Sky Fall is a whirlwind of a story! It’s cute, filled with adventure, love, and mystery! It’s also very poetic! This unique book tells the tale of Audra and Vane, about elementals and the ability to call up on the wind. A tale of windwalkers and stormers. It’s a very enjoyable book, one I highly recommend! And once you’ve read Audra and Vane’s whirlwind of a story, don’t forget their story continues in Let the Storm Break  which was released March 4th, 2014!

Reboot Teaser

13517455

 

I’m reading Reboot by Amy Tintera.  It is pretty good so far.  Here are a couple of paragraphs from the book:

” But at the age of twelve, when I woke up in the Dead Room of the hospital 178 minutes after taking three bullets to the chest, I screamed.

I screamed as they branded my wrist with my bar code, my number, and my human name, Wren Connolly.  I screamed as they locked me in a cell, as they escorted me to the shuttle, as they put me in line with the other newly undead former children.  I screamed until I arrived at the Human Advancement and Repopulation  Corporation, or HARC, facility, and they told me screaming meant death.  Acting like I was still a human child meant death.  Disobeying orders meant death.

And then I was silent.”

I hope you enjoyed this excerpt.  Stay tuned for more teasers to come.
