Review, Excerpt & Book Trailer: Pledged by Gwynneth White
About the bookEveryone has a soul mate. But what do you do when your soul mate would rather give his soul to the demons than be with you?Seventeen-year-old Erin has a problem. Seth has been hers forever, but now an ancient promise is tearing him away. And Reuel, the demon to whom the promise was made, will stop at nothing to force Seth to forsake Erin and to worship him. How can Erin win against a pledge so binding that it has damned countless others to the same fate she and Seth will face if Reuel wins – an eternity alone? The answer lies in the past. To find it, Erin and Seth must risk all, travelling back in time to a dangerous world where love is forbidden, and life – and death – hang on a promise.

Stories with a Twist
by Heather Smith
You know, lately I have been re-watching M. Night Shyamalan’s movies and I figured out why they appeal to me so much. I like a story that is less explosive action and more storyline. I also love the twist. You know; the one you can almost see coming but not quite. Suspense, to me, is much preferable to shock.

Guest Review: The Stranger by Albert Camus
Today I have a guest review by Katheryn Rivas! Here she talks about The Stranger by Albert Camus. I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with this book until this guest review, but it’s now on my list. It had me on existentialism.
Through the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach, Camus explored what he termed “the nakedness of man faced with the absurd.” First published in English in 1946.
