Coexist (Keegan's Chronicles #1) by Julia Crane

Book Description: Sixteen-year-old Keegan is struggling to keep her huge secret from her friends--she's an elf, descended from a long line of elves that live in secrecy alongside humans. In elfin society, mates are predetermined but not allowed to meet until they are eighteen. Against tradition, Keegan's brother Thaddeus told her Rourk's name because his visions warned him she'd need Rourk's protection, especially since Keegan will play a key role in the coming war between the dark and light elves. Rourk finds himself drawn to Keegan's side every time she thinks his name. He wants to talk to her but remains in the shadows, silently guarding her every time she mentally beckons him. A twist of fate thrusts the two of them together when Rourk is forced to step up his protection and make his presence known. An ancient prophecy deeply entwines Keegan's family and the future of their society. Somehow they must find a way to thwart fate and win the battle...without losing Keegan. With war brewing, and dark forces aligning, will Keegan and Rourk ever have the life together that they both desire? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Review: In a world were elves, shape shifter, fairies, witches and warlocks are real, a young woman named Keegan who just so happens to be an elf tries to live a normal life until the day she meets her soul mate. For elves (light and dark) when you turn 18 you get to meet your one true love. You aren't supposed to meet or even know each others names until you both are 18, but Keegan's younger brother Thaddeus told her Rourk's name to keep her safe. She is only supposed to think his name if the situation demands it. But will she even be thinking about him when the time comes? Keegan and Thaddeus turn out to play a big part in a war between the light and dark.Secrets are told, loved ones die, and Keegan's memory gets taken. How far will Rourk go to keep her? The book ended in a way that made me screaming. Poor Rourk, i cannot believe it ended that way. Overall i give this book a 5 out of 5 stars because I liked reading about Keegan and Rourk, they make such a cute couple. I recommend this awesome blossom book to other book addicts like me.

Verity (Cursed #1) by Claire Farrell

Book Description: Perdita Rivers has spent her entire sheltered life being told what to do. Lately, she’s felt ready for a change and the universe seems to agree. Her new best friend’s brother is the boy of Perdita’s dreams. Literally. Even though he plays hot and cold, she’s sure there’s more to it, but she’s kind of distracted by the sense she’s being followed, not to mention the rumours of wild animal sightings that seem to mean more to her new crush’s family than they should. Perdy’s on a mission to find the truth, but maybe the truth is the danger she should hide from, after all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Review: I liked this book a lot. It being a soul mate book might have something to do with that. OK so Perdita Rivers has the most boring life ever. Her father tries to control every thing she does, her grandmother doesn't like her father so she tries to make Perdy do the opposite of what her father says and her best friend is an attention hog who is in love with Perdy's cousin. And all while this is going on she is having dreams about a boy. Talk about strange. Then the unthinkable happens, a new family has moved into a house up in the woods. Amelia and Nathan, siblings, become the new kids. Sounds normal right? Wrong, Nathan just so happens to be the boy Perdy has been dreaming about. She becomes nervous around him, the fact that hes hot and every time shes near him sparks fly makes it even worse. Perdy tries to uncover the truth about Nathan while trying to figure out why her best friend is being so distant and mean. So much drama, that's what attracted me. Turns out Perdy is Nathans soul mate, and hes under a curse that Amelia is supposed to break. The book ends tragically.Can perdy and Nathan over come everything and be together? I cannot wait to read the next book in the series. Thanks for an amazing story Claire. I defiantly recommend this awesome blossom love story to other book addicts like me.

The Body Finder (The Body Finder #1) by Kimberly Derting

Book Description: Violet Ambrose is grappling with two major issues: Jay Heaton and her morbid secret ability. While the sixteen-year-old is confused by her new feelings for her best friend since childhood, she is more disturbed by her "power" to sense dead bodies—or at least those that have been murdered. Since she was a little girl, she has felt the echoes that the dead leave behind in the world... and the imprints that attach to their killers. Violet has never considered her strange talent to be a gift; it mostly just led her to find the dead birds her cat had tired of playing with. But now that a serial killer has begun terrorizing her small town, and the echoes of the local girls he's claimed haunt her daily, she realizes she might be the only person who can stop him. Despite his fierce protectiveness over her, Jay reluctantly agrees to help Violet on her quest to find the murderer—and Violet is unnerved to find herself hoping that Jay's intentions are much more than friendly. But even as she's falling intensely in love, Violet is getting closer and closer to discovering a killer... and becoming his prey herself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Review: I loved this book. In total there are 3 books out and 1 book being written in the series but out of all of them this one is my favorite. This book was very perfect for some one like me, a paranormal romance YA book. The characters were amazing and so was the plot. Violet has a special power. She can sense the dead, like their echos. Whether its on people or in the ground Violet has to constantly fight the urge to go search for dead animals in the forest by her house, with the help of her best friend Jay Heaton. A serial Killer has been kidnapping local girls, some of which Violet knew, and shes the only one who can stop him. Jay helps her try to take down the deranged man, but along the way they surrender to the love they both have been hiding from each other for years. But can their love, the only thing they have, stop a serial killer from coming after Violet. Jay does his best to protect her from drunk horny teenagers and deranged psychopaths while falling more in love with her. I was so drunk in the aroma of emotions those two have together. Definitely recommend this awesome blossom book to other book addicts like me.

The book Forbidden ending in a way that had me mad at the author until i read a little sneak peak at the third book. Thank you Micalea Smeltzer for writing a story that captivates the heart and soul of teenagers and book addicts like me. I will be forever waiting for the third book ;) I recommend this Awesome Blossom book to Book addicts like me
