Synopsis:
From the moment she sets foot at her new school in Ireland, Megan is inexplicably drawn to the darkly handsome Adam DeRis. But Megan soon discovers that her feelings for Adam are tied to a supernatural fate that was sealed long ago—and that the passion and power that unites them could be their ultimate destruction.

Review:

I LOVED THIS BOOK! AHHHHH!!! WHY DID IT HAVE TO END?!?!?!?!?

Okay, that was my spaz moment for this review. And everything I just said is true. Carrier of the Mark was well-written, attention grabbing, and sexy. All the components a good book needs.

The cover was what originally what had drawn me to the book. And that everyone was talking about the ARC copy of this book on Twitter! I love how she is raised in the air and how the blue is connected to her. Plus the dress is beautiful!! :)

The plot was gripping throughout the whole book. It kept me attentive to the story the entire time. I was able to follow the story, even though the Irish slang was a little confusing. I thought the story ended a little abruptly though. The climax was in the last 20 or so pages and I think she could've expanded the story a little more.

I loved Megan's character. I can't say much about her because that would be spoilery and I don't do those type of reviews! I will say that she is strong and willing to give up anything for love. Even her own life. She takes control of the situation when she doesn't understand something and can take life altering news in stride!

Then there's Adam. *insert swoonage here* He's dark, mysterious, and handsome. The perfect combination! He is the boy that sits in the back and doesn't really talk to anyone. But when Megan comes to town, his swagger is gone, and suddenly he's tripping over himself to get away from her! But why is that? ;)

All in all, I loved this book! It easily get's 51 out of 51 tacos! It was a great read and I highly recommend it! GO READ IT NOW, YOU WON'T BE SORRY!! :)

Waiting on Wednesday: 1/11/12

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine! It showcases books that we can't wait on to come out!

This week I'm waiting on Because of Low by Abbi Glines!

In my debut novel, Breathe, Sadie may have fallen in love with the teen rock star, Jax Stone, but readers fell head over heels for Marcus Hardy. This is his story… 

Marcus Hardy had hoped to enjoy a year away at college while he put the summer he’d rather forget behind him. But instead, he’s jerked right back to the coastal town of Sea Breeze, Alabama due to a family crisis. His dear ol' dad found himself a girlfriend only a few years older than Marcus. So now his sister needs help dealing with their mother who is mentally falling apart. The only bright spot to returning is the fascinating red head who sleeps over several times a week. The problem is she's sleeping in bed with his new roommate, Cage Watson. 

Willow “Low” Foster needs a place to live. Running to Cage’s apartment every time her sister kicks her out isn’t exactly a long term solution. Juggling her courses at the local community college and a part time job doesn’t produce excess income. But Cage has a new roommate and suddenly sleeping over at her best friend’s apartment isn’t such a bad thing. Not when she gets to see those sexy green eyes of Marcus Hardy’s twinkle when he smiles at her like he wants her there. 

Even though Cage seems a little territorial where Low is concerned, Marcus finds time to spend with Low without upsetting his roommate. Cage may use his small college baseball star persona to sleep with every hot female in his path but he’s still under the disillusion that when he’s through sowing his wild oats, he’s going to marry Low. Marcus intends to change that assumption for both Cage and Low. Until his carefully laid plans come crashing down with a revelation he never expected. He’ll have to choose between Low or his family. Because once the truth comes out.... there’s no other choice.

Release Date: Feb 14th, 2012
