Goodreads description:
Back in her hometown, Tori Beaugrand had everything a teenaged girl could want—popularity, money, beauty. But she also had a secret. A secret that could change her life in an instant, or destroy it.

Now she’s left everything from her old life behind, including her real name and Alison, the one friend who truly understood her. She can’t escape who and what she is. But if she wants to have anything like a normal life, she has to blend in and hide her unusual... talents.

Plans change when the enigmatic Sebastian Faraday reappears and gives Tori some bad news: she hasn’t escaped her past. In fact, she’s attracted new interest in the form of an obsessed ex-cop turned investigator for a genetics lab.

She has one last shot at getting her enemies off her trail and winning the security and independence she’s always longed for. But saving herself will take every ounce of Tori’s incredible electronics and engineering skills—and even then, she may need to sacrifice more than she could possibly imagine if she wants to be free. 

I finished Ultraviolet about a week ago, and I'm so glad the sequel will be out soon-ish! While I'd love to get more from Alison's POV, I unexpectedly grew to like Tori too. Also, I heard something about her that I'm not going to spoil here but immediately got my interest. In many ways, Ultraviolet was such a mindf*ck and I just can't wait to read more about this world in the sequel, and about what Tori will do to escape that I-think-I-know-who-you-are ex-cop!

Have you heard of Quicksilver or read Ultraviolet? What are your thoughts on it?

Book Trailer Reveal: Opal, by Jennifer L. Armentrout

I just finished Onyx on Monday, so I'm really happy to be part of the book trailer reveal for Opal, the next book in Jennifer L. Armentrout's Lux series! The cover is just gorgeous and I'm really glad release day isn't that far off anymore! The trailer recaps the first two books at the beginning before making me really curious about Opal. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did :)




Opal will be available in print and ebook version on December 18, 2012.

Goodreads description:
No one is like Daemon Black.

When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn’t fooling around. Doubting him isn’t something I’ll do again, and now that we’ve made it through the rough patches, well... There’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.

But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.

After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable of. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.

Together we’re stronger... and they know it.
