What if your whole world was a lie?What if a single revelation—like a single choice—changed everything?What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?
This is an example of a caption.

This week's teasers are from:
Code (Virals #3) by Kathy Reichs
First Teaser:
“I'm studying jerkoffs in the wild," Ben answered dryly. "This seemed like a good chance to view one up close.”
Second Teaser:
“Hey, check this weirdo out." Hi was inspecting a bust on the mantel. "This face is ninety percent eyebrow. What do you want to bet he owned slaves?"Scowling to match the carving's expression, Hi spoke in a gravelly voice. "In my day, we ate the poor people. We had a giant outdoor grill, and we cooked up peasant steaks every Sunday.”
URGH! I hate myself!! Don't you guys hate it when you're really looking forward to a book and a month or two after it comes out you realize that you DIDN'T NOTICE?! That's exactly what happened....and...and..I LOVE THIS SERIES! It's so amazing! The plot, THE HUMOR, the mystery..just...urgh!

Earth Angel (Falling Angels #2)
by E. Van Lowe
Publication: December 8th, 2011 by White Whisker Books
Just because Megan Barnett recently defeated Satan, has a fantastic new best friend, and has won the love of deliciously
handsome, Guy Matson, doesn’t mean her troubles are over. Far from it. For Megan doesn’t realize it, but in her possession is a powerful weapon, a weapon sought after by both angels and demons and everything in between. They will do ANYTHING to get it.
In E. Van Lowe’s humorous, romantic and thrilling sequel to Boyfriend From Hell, Megan winds up in a gripping life or death battle to save herself, the boy she loves, and all of mankind from unthinkable evil.

Let me just tell you this, I had sat down with the first book in this series, Boyfriend From Hell one day, and I sat down with this one, the second in the series, the next, so my brain was practically fried by the time I put this book down. So much went on and I have to admit that I was thoroughly satisfied with most of it, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to finish the two books in two days. But out of the two books, I definitely enjoyed the second the most and from the way it's going, I can't wait for the third. Earth Angel gave me more enjoyment through the main characters and the plot-line, both of which I felt were a little lacking in the first book. I really like the fact that E. Van Lowe's work seems to be improving over the course of the series unlike many other's which slowly start taking a dive.
Review: The Summer I became a Nerd by Leah Rae Miller
The Summer I became a Nerd
by Leah Rae Miller
Publication: May 7th, 2013 by Entangled Teen
On the outside, seventeen-year-old Madelyne Summers looks like your typical blond cheerleader—perky, popular, and dating the star quarterback. But inside, Maddie spends more time agonizing over what will happen in the next issue of her favorite comic book than planning pep rallies with her squad. That she’s a nerd hiding in a popular girl's body isn’t just unknown, it's anti-known. And she needs to keep it that way.
Summer is the only time Maddie lets her real self out to play, but when she slips up and the adorkable guy behind the local comic shop’s counter uncovers her secret, she’s busted. Before she can shake a pom-pom, Maddie’s whisked into Logan’s world of comic conventions, live-action role-playing, and first-person-shooter video games. And she loves it. But the more she denies who she really is, the deeper her lies become…and the more she risks losing Logan forever.

The Summer I Became a Nerd was beyond adorable! It was such a cliched story but was one of the better ones. In fact, I actually liked the cliche popular girl falls for nerdy guy who changes her, it made the book so much sweeter. Like most YA contemps., this book was very light and easy to go through. The writing flowed very well and there was the perfect balance of humor, drama, and romance so no part of the book was forced. The plot-line was a bit predictable but I still found myself reading on with a smile on my face, pretending to think I didn't know what was going to happen next. The characters were very relatable and just enough eccentric for my liking, and when I say relatable, I mean A LOT. This book really brought out the inner/outer nerd from me as I'm sure it'll do to many people. I absolutely adore/adored going to anime/manga conventions, and I'm sure y'all know I'm a book nerd! So Maddie's story definitely brought laughter and delight, I simply loved it.

Wanted
by Amanda Lance
Publication: May 1st, 2013 by Limitless Publishing
Considering she’s a girl who calculates everything, Addie Battes knew the statistical probability of being abducted in her lifetime—too bad she never analyzed the odds of falling in love with her captor.
While stopping at a crowded rest area one summer night, seventeen-year-old Addie accidentally catches a truck hijacking in progress. Desperate to rid the crime of its only witness, one of the thieves kidnaps Addie. Yet surprisingly, when a renegade thief attempts to silence her for good, Addie is saved by the very man who abducted her. Now, forced on board a cargo ship in the middle of the ocean, Addie finds herself surrounded by international smugglers who want nothing more than to throw her overboard.
All except the artistic and intriguing Charlie Hays, whose strange protectiveness convinces Addie to trust him, even when common sense tells her otherwise. Yet, despite her doubt, and his unrelenting temper, their relationship develops into something much more. But, Charlie’s scorned colleague has stowed away, and as he seeks revenge against his coworker, Addie and Charlie are forced to put their new love—and lives—at risk.
