About NOWHERE BUT HERE: An unforgettable new series from acclaimed author Katie McGarry about taking risks, opening your heart and ending up in a place you never imagined possible Seventeen-year-old Emily likes her life the way it is: doting parents, good friends, good school in a safe neighborhood. Sure, she's curious about her biological father—the one who chose life in a motorcycle club, the Reign of Terror, over being a parent—but that doesn't mean she wants to be a part of his world. But when a reluctant visit turns to an extended summer vacation among relatives she never knew she had, one thing becomes clear: nothing is what it seems. Not the club, not her secret-keeping father and not Oz, a guy with suck-me-in blue eyes who can help her understand them both. Oz wants one thing: to join the Reign of Terror. They're the good guys. They protect people. They're…family. And while Emily—the gorgeous and sheltered daughter of the club's most respected member—is in town, he's gonna prove it to her. So when her father asks him to keep her safe from a rival club with a score to settle, Oz knows it's his shot at his dream. What he doesn't count on is that Emily just might turn that dream upside down. No one wants them to be together. But sometimes the right person is the one you least expect, and the road you fear the most is the one that leads you home.NOWHERE BUT HERE Trailer:

I may have gone a bit overboard this month. I bought 22 books. Yup. I need a book buying ban, effective immediately.

When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills
a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for
it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends,
Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal,
immortal faeries who once ruled their world.
As she dwells on his estate, her feelings
for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through
every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of
the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre
must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.
Perfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and
George R. R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is
impossible to put down!
Okay it's official. This is my most
favorite book in this genre. I loved it so much; you guys cannot even imagine
how much. I know it took a long time for me to finish it, but I had a good
reason. I just didn't want it to end, so I read and savored it as long as
possible!
This is a beauty and the beast retelling
mixed with fae folklore. I know it
sounds weird, but it totally works!
You know that feeling you get when you
start reading a book and you just know that you're going to love it, care for
it, and cherish it forever and ever. This book was exactly that for me. I
started reading and I knew, I knew it was going to be the
best thing ever.
I started reading and I got that feeling
immediately.
Feyre is the youngest out of three sisters. Her two older sisters are completely useless, and her father is stuck in his own misery. She has to take care of all of them. She hunts, she cooks, well she basically does everything. One day she hunts in the forest and kills a wolf. This was not an ordinary wolf, so her killing the wolf had some consequences.
When Tamlin was first introduced
He was so awkward and it was just so cute! He may have come off as cold and distant, but he just wanted to treat Feyre right, and he didn't know how to do that exactly. He was never cruel and I just loved him so much. I really have to stop gushing about him.
Lucien was an interesting character. He was rude and mean to Feyre, but I never hated him. He had his reasons. I just wish he would have given her a break, I mean come on.
Then we meet Rhysand. There are some Rhys-Feyre shippers, and I'm sorry but were we reading the same book?! Oh my gosh how could you guys even for one second think that he and Feyre should be together?! I liked him okay, I liked him and he needs a book and he deserves love. But he just needs to get that love from someone else okay?!
Feyre's character development was believable, and I'm glad that I loved her character more as the book progressed. At about the 75% mark, that's when things started to really really excite me. Before the 75% percent mark, my excitement level was at 90%, but when I got to it, it was 100% and then some. The things that occurred at this point were just so bad-ass, exciting, heartbreaking, adrenaline rushing (is this even a term?), and just plain awesome.
I will stop here before I accidentally spoil everyone because of my unconfined excitement.
I think I did a great job convincing everyone to read this.

He’s a player in more ways than one…
College junior John Logan can get any girl
he wants. For this hockey star, life is a parade of parties and hook-ups, but
behind his killer grins and easygoing charm, he hides growing despair about the
dead-end road he’ll be forced to walk after graduation. A sexy encounter with
freshman Grace Ivers is just the distraction he needs, but when a thoughtless
mistake pushes her away, Logan plans to spend his final year proving to her
that he’s worth a second chance.
Now he’s going to need to up his game…
After a less than stellar freshman year,
Grace is back at Briar University, older, wiser, and so over the arrogant
hockey player she nearly handed her V-card to. She’s not a charity case, and
she’s not the quiet butterfly she was when they first hooked up. If Logan
expects her to roll over and beg like all his other puck bunnies, he can think
again. He wants her back? He’ll have to work for it. This time around, she’ll
be the one in the driver’s seat…and she plans on driving him wild.
3.5 stars!
Logan meets Grace by accident. They click.
He leaves her, because he still has feelings for his best friend's girlfriend.
A revelation: he doesn't really like his best friend's girlfriend in that way.
He wants Grace back. Grace doesn't want him anymore. Logan tries his best to
get her back.
Okay so that's the short version of this
story. Just so you're aware. When the guy messes up that bad, I want them to
grovel and work for it. Logan worked for it, so I appreciated that. The effort
he put into winning Grace back was more than enough, so I forgave him.
I hated Grace's mom. If you could even call
her that. I just found her mom to be so immature and selfish. She was described
as "free-spirited". She wasn't. She was just irresponsible.
Logan and Grace were not very lucky in the
parents department. Logan's dad had a drinking problem that tore their family
apart. I felt for both of them.
I liked The Deal better. This book just
wasn't as gripping as the first, but it was still enjoyable.
