I can not wait for the this book! I loved 'The Immortal Rules' so much and I can't wait to read what happens next!

The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden #2)
Julie Kagawa
May 3rd 2013

In Allison Sekemoto's world, there is one rule left: Blood calls to blood

She has done the unthinkable: died so that she might continue to live. Cast out of Eden and separated from the boy she dared to love, Allie will follow the call of blood to save her creator, Kanin, from the psychotic vampire Sarren. But when the trail leads to Allie's birthplace in New Covington, what Allie finds there will change the world forever-and possibly end human and vampire existence.

There's a new plague on the rise, a strain of the Red Lung virus that wiped out most of humanity generations ago-and this strain is deadly to humans and vampires alike. The only hope for a cure lies in the secrets Kanin carries, if Allie can get to him in time.

Allison thought that immortality was forever. But now, with eternity itself hanging in the balance, the lines between human and monster will blur even further, and Allie must face another choice she could never have imagined having to make.

Dash and Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan

"I've left some clues for you.
If you want them, turn the page.
If you don't, put the book back on the shelf, please."

So begins the latest whirlwind romance from the bestselling authors of Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. Lily has left a red notebook full of challenges on a favorite bookstore shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept its dares. But is Dash that right guy? Or are Dash and Lily only destined to trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations across New York? Could their in-person selves possibly connect as well as their notebook versions? Or will they be a cosmic mismatch of disastrous proportions?

Review:

4- Great!

I read this book over Christmas because it was quite short that I could fit around all my Christmas shopping. Dash and Lilly’s Book of Dares was so easy to read and get lost in, I was pulled in from the first paragraph and it even put me in the mood for Christmas.

I loved the idea of the book of dares that Lily had created within the book and I for one know that even though I have a love for books and puzzles I would not be able to solve what was in that notebook. And I think that because I couldn’t figure out that part of the book it kept me guessing on what was going to happen next. Plus this book was just so cute! And like I said put me in the perfect Christmas mood which made it even cuter! And all the cute characters! And if you haven’t guessed I thought everything about this book was cute.

I loved how this book was told by both Dash and Lily’s point of view for two reasons, for one (and yes I know this isn’t the best reason but…) I found that if I was reading too much of one characters point of view I found myself slightly skimming over some paragraphs, and then the second reason was because (and this one is better) Dash and Lily were such different characters and it was just so much fun reading their different views on the same events.

I really enjoyed this book overall even though I may have skim read over a paragraph or two but this book was perfect to get me into the reading and Christmas mood plus (and yes I am going to say it again) this book was just so cute. There were good characters and a fun romance so pick this book up if you are looking for a light enjoyable read.

Plot 4/5
Character 4/5

I love this cover it so colourful! The summary sounds really interesting as well.

Taken
Erin Bowman
April 16th 2013

There are no men in Claysoot. There are boys—but every one of them vanishes at midnight on his eighteenth birthday. The ground shakes, the wind howls, a blinding light descends…and he’s gone.

They call it the Heist.

Gray Weathersby’s eighteenth birthday is mere months away, and he’s prepared to meet his fate–until he finds a strange note from his mother and starts to question everything he’s been raised to accept: the Council leaders and their obvious secrets. The Heist itself. And what lies beyond the Wall that surrounds Claysoot–a structure that no one can cross and survive.

Climbing the Wall is suicide, but what comes after the Heist could be worse. Should he sit back and wait to be taken–or risk everything on the hope of the other side?

I think that this book looks really interesting and I'd love to know what the boyfriend app does.

The Boyfiend App
Katie Sise
30th April 2013

In The Boyfriend App by Katie Sise, super-smart, somewhat geeky Audrey McCarthy can’t wait to get out of high school. Her father’s death and the transformation of her one-time BFF, Blake Dawkins, into her worst nightmare have her longing for the new start college will bring.

But college takes money. So Audrey decides she has to win the competition for the best app designed by a high schooler—and the $200,000 that comes with it. She develops something she calls the Boyfriend App, and suddenly she’s the talk of the school and getting kissed by the hottest boys around. But can the Boyfriend App bring Audrey true love?

What was your favourite books of 2012?

Bring on 2013!!

What a year this has been and yes I do know that it's not over for a couple more days but I felt like this post had to go up before everything went back to normal. Yes that's right if you guessed it... I'm back and fingers crossed it is for good!

It's true and even I can admit it that i've been crap with posts this year and Book Geek Central has suffered because of it. I've finally got myself back into reading after the too long of a time I was away.

I have a feeling that 2013 is going to be a good year for Book Geek Central so lets forget about 2012 and bring on 2013!
