Breaking Waves Review/ Blog Tour!

(Sequel to Heart Waves)
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Number of pages: 204
For ages 13+

"From the moment they met, Jenna knew Reece would break her heart, but she never dreamed it would happen like this. Jenna is left shattered and broken. When life becomes too painful to deal with and she feels completely alone, there’s only one person to help her pick up the pieces and move on. The one person she doesn’t want to turn to. The one person she promised to stay away from. Tyler. Can Jenna put aside everything she knows about him and let Tyler help heal her broken heart?" -Goodreads

*I was given this book to give a completely honest review*

I am absolutely positively thrilled to be able to do this blog tour! I love Danielle and I love her books so I knew I had to sign up. 

I LOVED the first book in this series so I knew I was going to absolutely love the second one! There was a little part of me worried it would have the "Sequel Blues" but alas! IT did not! Jenna is still just as awesome as she was in the first book. She was hilarious as ever and the relationship between her and Reece was still absolutely adorable. But then it allll changes... But we'll get back to that heart wrenching event later!

I'm just gonna tell you right now REECE IS SO SWOONY. And I feel like I'm always super repetitive when it comes to the swoony guys, but odds are any book I review on this blog will have a swoony boy. I'm just sayin'. And Reece was definitely swoony. I just wish we could have had a little more time with him. But that's the whole point! ;) 

So now... OH MY GRAVY. THE TWISTS. THE TWISTS, PEOPLE. Goodness gracious. Let me just tell you I needed to have a little breather while reading this book because I was a mess. A sad teenage angst mess. I am not ashamed to say I cried. But HEY! I'm a teenage girl, I have the right. 

All I can say is: REEEEECEEE, NOOOOO! I can't tell you anything without giving away the BIGGEST TWIST EVAR away. So my capsaholic ways will have to do for now. Also: I don't trust Tyler. At all. I feel like he's got somethin' up his sleeve. And I just want to shake Jenna and say, "DON'T TRUST HIM." But it's inevitable. It's gonna happen. And it did. And I had to sit there and read it. Because it wasn't like I was gonna stop! That's craziness. I feel like Tyler has something planned. And I'm dying to read the next book to find out. 

The ending? Seriously?! I can't.. I can't. I'm pretty sure when I read that last page I flailed. It wasn't necessarily a cliff hanger but you might as well call it that because I'm DYING. DYYYIIINNNNG. I'm definitely counting down the SECONDS until I can read the next book because this is just cruel. For Cereal. 

So, I'm most definitely giving this book 5 out of 5 diva crowns. There were so many ups and downs and a very mysterious guy that I don't trust WHATSOEVER, and I loved every page of it. I recommend this series to contemporary romance lovers! If you haven't read the first book definitely read it!

Danielle Sibarium grew up as an only child of divorced parents in Brooklyn, New York. Her imagination was developed at an early age. Surrounded by stuffed animals and imaginary friends, she transported herself into a fantasy world full of magic and wonder. Books were the gateway between her play world and reality. On any given summer afternoon she became Snow White sweeping and cooking for the dwarfs, or Cinderella waiting for the prince.
Danielle always loved dialogue and in elementary school began writing plays and short stories. This is when she began to understand she could not only bring her fantastical world to life for herself, but she could enchant others as well. And so she wrote. She wrote and wrote and wrote.
Sadly the first piece she ever sent out for publication of any sort was a letter to the editor of The Home News Tribune. It was a piece thanking the first responders for their bravery and selflessness on Sept 11th. It was chosen as letter of the week.
In 2007 Danielle collaborated with Charlotte Doreen Small to write songs for her CD More. Danielle wrote the lyrics for Take My Hand, and Goodbye, while Charlotte contributed the melody.  In October 2011 Danielle’s debut novel For Always was released. She has since released Heart Waves and the second book in the Heart Waves series, Breaking Waves.  Danielle graduated from Farleigh Dickinson University with honors, and currently lives in New Jersey with her husband and three children

Blog Tour for Rise of a Rector by Heather McCorkle!


The final novel in Heather McCorkle’s channeler series, Rise of a Rector, has released! To celebrate, and in the spirit of October, Heather is here to tell us about a scary moment in her life. Take it away Heather!

Heather: I heard a loud ‘thunk’ as my horse kicked me in the face, just above my temple. Oddly, it didn’t hurt. Blood started to drip. My husband came running, tearing his shirt off, putting it in my hands. I held it against my eye, which moved unnaturally at the touch. Still no pain. It felt as though my eye would fall out though if I moved the shirt, so I didn’t. My husband helped me to our vehicle and then he started to panic, I could hear it in his voice. With calming words and a steady tone I instructed him to get a towel, my insurance card, and the keys. As we drove toward the hospital I could feel the vehicle accelerating dangerously. Ice crystals still clung to the windshield and the road was covered in snow.

For the rest of the story I hope you’ll visit the Reader Girls book blog.

Here is a bit about Channeler's Choice:
With her parents’ murderer’s dead, Eren can finally concentrate on fitting in at Spruce Knoll High, not to mention figuring out what it means to be a channeler. If only it were that easy. It turns out she isn’t normal even among channelers - she may be a legendary warrior meant to protect the earth in a last great battle.

But Mayan prophecies are the least of her worries as she involuntarily starts to gather her own Society, another girl moves in on Aiden, her powers rage out of control, and worst of all, someone is stalking her. To top it all off, Eren discovers she doesn’t have to be a channeler after all - she has a choice.

As an old threat closes in and she risks ending up like her parents, she is forced to decide. Be a normal teenager and leave the legendary warrior stuff to someone else, or embrace a dark destiny?



...Sounds awesome, RIGHT?! It is. Trust me. As I said before, review coming Sunday! Also, don't forget to enter Heather's giveaway for a chance to win!
