Description:

Reality is only an illusion.

Except for those who can control it...

Worst. Birthday. Ever.

My first boyfriend dumped me-happy birthday, Josie!-my dad is who knows where, I have some weird virus that makes me want to hurl, and now my ex is licking another girl's tonsils. Oh, and I'm officially the same as my brother was when he died. Yeah, today is about as fun-filled as the swamps of Dagobah. But then weird things start happening...

Like I make something materialize just by thinking about it.

When hottily-hot badass Reid Wentworth shows up on a motorcycle, everything changes. Like, everything. Who I am. My Family. What really happened to my brother. Existence. I am Oculi, and I have the ability to change reality with my thoughts. Now Reid, in all his hotness, is charged with guiding and protecting me as I begin learning how to bend reality. And he's the only thing standing between me and the secret organization that wants me dead...

Teaser Sentence:

'I flicked on my light, shut the door, and my Benedict Khan and Benedict Sherlock posters welcomed me home.'

My Thoughts:

Anomaly is real-life science meets science-fiction with lots of betrayal and secrets. It was most definitely a good read. 

As a fellow science nerd, I really appreciated the fact that the sci-fi parts of the story were based off real science. It made for a more believable fiction book, which is refreshing when you are always reading fantasy. I really liked Josie as the main character. I could related to her. And her love for science and Star Wars and everything else nerdy. 

Some parts of the story were a little slow. The betrayals and secrets spread throughout made me want to keep reading though. I also love stories that have multiple points of view. I know some people do not like the switch, but I enjoy getting to see the story from another angle. So, having some of the book from Reid's POV was a plus for me. 

I will absolutely be on the look out for the next installment of this series. I feel like Anomaly was a lot of world/character building, and that the next book will be even better.

Touch

Description: When a strange boy tumbles down a river embankment and lands at her feet, seventeen-year-old adrenaline junkie Deznee Cross snatches the opportunity to piss off her father by bringing the mysterious hottie with ice blue eyes home. Except there's something off with Kale. He wears her shoes in the shower, is overly fascinated with things like DVDs and vases, and acts like she'll turn to dust if he touches her. It's not until Dez's father shows up, wielding a gun and knowing more about Kale than he should, that Dez realizes there's more to this boy-and her father's "law firm"- than she realized. Kale has been a prisoner of Denazen Corporation-an organization devoted to collecting "special" kids know as Sixes and using them as weapons- his entire life. And, oh yeah, his touch? It kills. The two team up with a group of rogue Sixes hellbent on taking down Denazen before they're caught and her father discovers the biggest secret of all. A secret Dez has spent her life keeping safe. - Amazon

Author: Jus Accardo
Release date: July 3, 2012
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Pages: 400

Reading level: Young Adult - contains sex related scenes

Teaser Sentence(s): '"I-" I didn't know how to respond. Imagine that. Me. Speechless. Glaciers were probably popping up all over hell.'

My thoughts: This is another book I really liked. Maybe it's just because I have been watching the show recently, but in a way it reminded me of the show Heroes. Certain people have a genetic mutation of a certain chromosome which gives them an ability. There are ones who can mimic people and things, have a touch of death, control elements, tell when you are lying, telekinesis, soul jumpers, etc. There are the ones who were born that way and the ones who were amped up by doctors when they were infants or before they were born. So yeah, if you have ever watched Heroes you can see why they remind me of each other. With all that being said, I still really liked the book. Dez and Kale made a good couple, there is just the right about of back-stabbing to keep you from guessing exactly what is going to happen next. Then you are left at the end, wondering if Dez is going to go crazy in the next couple of months. I will be reading and reviewing book 2 'Toxic' soon.
