Need BEA Advice!! Pretty please!

Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction Let's Discuss 5

I’m hoping to be able to go to BEA this year, but I haven’t set anything up yet because I’m nervous about the details. So, is anyone else going this year? Have you gone in past years? (Know someone else who has? Send them over here, please!) How easy is it to get around? What hotel should I get a room at? (Is there anything that won’t cost me an arm and a leg? Anyone looking for a roommate?) Are there specific events that I should definitely get to? Anything I should skip? Any other advice you can give me? I know there’s other stuff I should be asking, but I don’t know where to start! I appreciate any advice anyone can give me – I need that kick in the pants so that I’ll make that final leap and just go! I really, really want to!! (But… Read more »

Review – Obsession by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction Reviews 8 ★★★★½

Title: Obsession Series: NA spin-off of the Lux series Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout Release Date: May, 2013 Pages: 275 Goodreads Rating: 4.16 Stars My Rating: 4.5/5 Stars My Content Rating: 18+ (Explicit sex) Summary from Goodreads: This is a stand alone novel that is an adult spin-off of the Lux Series. You do not need to read a Lux book to read Obsession and vice versa. He’s arrogant, domineering, and… To. Die. For. Hunter is a ruthless killer. And the Department of Defense has him firmly in their grasp, which usually doesn’t chafe too badly because he gets to kill bad guys. Most of the time he enjoys his job. That is, until he’s saddled with something he’s never had to do before: protect a human from his mortal enemy. Serena Cross didn’t believe her best friend when she claimed to have seen the son of a powerful senator turn into something… unnatural. Who would? But then she witnesses her friend’s… Read more »

Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction All-Time Favorites, Reviews 9 ★★★★★

Title: The Sea of Tranquility Author: Katja Millay Release Date: 2012 Pages: 448 Goodreads Rating: 4.48 Stars My Rating: 5/5 Stars My Content Rating: Mature YA (Sex shown, but not explicit; Violence described, but again, not explicitly) Summary from Goodreads: I live in a world without magic or miracles. A place where there are no clairvoyants or shapeshifters, no angels or superhuman boys to save you. A place where people die and music disintegrates and things suck. I am pressed so hard against the earth by the weight of reality that some days I wonder how I am still able to lift my feet to walk. Former piano prodigy Nastya Kashnikov wants two things: to get through high school without anyone learning about her past and to make the boy who took everything from her—her identity, her spirit, her will to live—pay. Josh Bennett’s story is no secret: every person he loves has been taken from his life… Read more »
