Waiting On Wednesday #1

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by the Accidental Reader and it features upcoming book releases that we are eagerly anticipating.

I can't wait to put my hands on:

 The Resolution of Callie and Kayden by Jessica Sorensen

Things are going good for Callie and Kayden. They’re still dealing with their past and the pain connected to it, but for the most part they’ve moved on. The biggest decision they have at the moment is what they want to do with their lives in the future.
Eventually, though, the past catches up with them and it leaves them with a choice no one wants to make. But Callie and Kayden learn that as long as they have each other, they can make it through just about anything. And in the end, they discover what they really want out of life.

Why I'm Waiting:

I just loved the first two books of the series, the characters were so complex that i felt they were real. The story was amazing, not too swoony and down to earth. I cant' wait to see how the story of Callie and Kayden will finish.

The Redemption of Callie and Kayden by Jessica Sorensen (book 2 in The Coincidence series)

Goodreads

4 stars

In the coincidence of Callie and Kayden I experienced something more than deep pain and the power of trust. I experienced love, true and strong love. It was a book about a blooming love and a new beginning.....in the Redemption of Callie and Kayden I experienced the exact opposite. Pain, fear and heartbreaking. The book felt like an emotional roller coaster in Six Flags (ever heard of Goliath...yeah you got it).The book is solely dedicated on Kayden's oint of view, how he decided to cope with what happened in the first book and how he decided that help and support was needed in order to do what he had too. The Redemption of Callie and Kayden is all about strength and how to find it. Facing your fears and comforting your demons and past. The characters themselves were amazing and although the plot had a few pitfalls I loved loved loved the book more than anything.

                                                                                                                                    
 

Twisted Together by Pepper Winters (book 3 in Monsters in the Dark series)

Goodreads

4.5 stars

I wont say anything about this book because it will ruin everything. The review will be a spoiler itself but for those of you who read the first two installments and still trying to decide whether or not to read the first one just grab it and devour it as slowly as you can. Like every good thing these series come to an end too. It was the most heartbreaking, sad, agony filled book I ever read. Sometimes I could not believe what I was reading others I was appalled by horror and found myself appraising the author for the greatness she created. The Accidental Reader is hosting a giveaway with the eARC of the first installement of the series.

The Possibility Of Us by Lisa Burnstein

Goodreads 

3 stars.

I received this book as an ARC from Entangled Publishing through NetGalley in exchange of an honest review.

I really dont have a lot to say about this book, only that I saw it coming from page one. The characters were really really good and I felt their pain and yearn throughout the book but what didn;t really work for me was the cliché plot. I tried really hard to love the book but it;s just not for me.

The Accidental Reader is giving away 1 eARC copy of Tears of Tess by Pepper Winters.Read Review Here.

For Kayden, suffering in silence was the only way to survive. If he was lucky, he could keep his head down, do as he was told, and make it through the day. But one night it seemed like his luck-and his life-might finally end... until an angel named Callie appeared just in time to rescue him.

Callie has never believed in luck. Not since her twelfth birthday when everything was taken from her. After the worst was over, she locked up her feelings and vowed never to tell anyone what happened. Now, six years later, she continues to struggle with the painful secret that threatens to consume her.

When fate lands Kayden and Callie at the same college, Kayden is determined to get to know the beautiful girl who changed his destiny. Quiet and reserved, Callie still fears letting anyone else into her world. But Kayden is certain that Callie has come back into his life for a reason. And the more he tries to be a part of her life, the more he realizes that, this time, it's Callie who needs to be saved...

Review:

I had this on my reading list for quite some time now and as always I picked it up becaise I could not find one of the books I was looking for...as always it was by chance...by chance a really well developed, great book.

As you all know by now I usually drop a book on page 30 if its not good and a lot of times I decide whether or not I will continue reading from page one. With this one I had a really strong bond, mainly with Callie, reading the prologue was all I needed to know that she would be a complex and well developed character. The author did a really good job with creating Carrie, she threw in just the right amount of sadness, melancholy and pain to give us a 18 year old wanting to leave her nightmares behind and get control of her life. Just the right amount of teen-angst in addition to the uncertainness of the newly emerged adult.

While Callie leaves for college with her best friend, she tries to do all the thing she wasnt able to do while back home, go to parties, fall in love, let someone understand you and feel you and all the things normal people do. She missed all those things because someone stole it from her.

The author managed to give us a broken from rape character, developed in that way that I felt she was real, she was an actual victim.The thoughts and the perspective of life was so different from what we experience in todays yound-adult, new adult novels these days. Although this is one of the cliché love stories it was told in that way that made it a little different. My heart felt for her so many times while she was trying to change her life with small steps one of the time with the help of  Kayden, a boy from her past, a boy she could not forget because simply he seemed as troubled.

Kayden coming from an abusive family, an abusive father and an alcoholic father, tries to leave everything behind and get as far away from his home as possible. One summer night of one of the parties his family had his dad would go over the edge as usual and abuse him, it would be bad if it wasnt for Callie, who she was passing by by accident. She saved him. After that Kayden was looking for  her everywhere until he accidentally bumped on her on campus. And here everything changes.

There is not a lot that I can say on the plot because I dont want to spoil any major scenes.

What I loved about this book is the fact that the author took her time to develop the relationship between those two and I felt like I had all the time in the world to read this amazing book. The book is mostly about facing your fears, coming to terms with our inner demons and taking control of the life that was stolen from you. Do not expect insta-love and romance from page one because thats not gonna happen and I loved it so so much.

 One of the major things that had me so pissed about the plot was the freaking CLIFFHANGER!!!!! Like SERIOUSLY? Thank god I dont have to wait for book two.

Other than that I think the Coincidence of Callie and Kayden is an amazing read, probably perfect, the author made me relate with the characters and change my ideas on some subjects.

I really hope you will enjoy.
