Review: Ace of Shades by Amanda Foody

Release date: April 10, 2018 Author info: Website | Twitter Publisher: Harlequin Teen Pages: 416 Format: Egalley Source: Publisher provided for review through Netgalley Buy the book: Barnes & Noble | Amazon | The Book Depository Welcome to the City of Sin, where casino families reign, gangs infest the streets… and secrets hide in every shadow. Enne Salta was raised as a proper young lady, and no lady would willingly visit New Reynes, the so-called City of Sin. But when her mother goes missing, Enne must leave her finishing school—and her reputation—behind to follow her mother’s trail to the city where no one survives uncorrupted. Frightened and alone, her only lead is a name: Levi Glaisyer. Unfortunately, Levi is not the gentleman she expected—he’s a street lord and a con man. Levi is also only one payment away from cleaning up a rapidly unraveling investment scam, so he doesn't have time to investigate a woman leading a dangerous double life. Enne's offer of compensatio...

The Secret

Cover of The Day: Left Drowning

Left Drowning by Jessica Park This cover is beautiful in every way. I love the blend of the colors. It's always a pleasure to notice the cover artist's talented work. The water ripples give a calming vibe to the cover and model girl facing away from the camera also gives off a mysterious and a bit creepy vibe. The title font is awesome, i love these kinds of fonts. the author's name has been given its fair share. I absolutely adore this cover What are your thoughts? - Soma

Cover of the Day: A Really Awesome Mess

A Really Awesome Mess by Trish Cook and Brendan Halpin      I'm not exactly sure what this has to do with the story because I haven't read it, but I still love this cover. It sounds like it'll be a very serious story, but this is still a really fun cover. I wanted to read it before I saw the synopsis just because I wanted to know who was eating their lunch off these things lol I also love the colors. The yellow is super bright and is asking for attention. The white and silver are stand out clean against everything else. It also took me back to my childhood, I used these all the time in school. I also love the font of the title and author's names. Just because it looks kind of bad... But that's the point right? The title is "A Really Awesome Mess"..... So what do you think?  Love it, like it, or hate it? -Nikki H

Cover of The Day: Overpowered

Overpowered by Mark H. Kruger Well, I love the color, green. It's always so lively and alive. This cover had the same impact on me. I loved the strange hues of colors and they match together so well. The shadow of the girl also gives off a mysterious but lovely vibe. What I didn't like though is the title's size. It's too small. It's like, you have to strain to actually read the name of the book or the author. Too, small. Way too small. Which is a huge problem, i think What are your thoughts? -- Soma

80's Teen Thursdays: At Your Service (Heartbreak Cafe #3) by Janet Quin-Harkin

Title: At Your Service Series: Heart Break Cafe (#3) Author: Janet Quin-Harkin Summary: (Bare with me because I'm writing the summary because it isn't on Goodreads, and I misplaced the book.) Debbie Lesley is the only waitress at the Heartbreak Cafe and she wouldn't have it any other way.  But everywhere around her is crumbling.  Her mother and dad are divorced, and her Mother is talking to some creep.  Joe Garbarini's, the co owner of the cafe, girlfriend is turning into a total snob and taking the only other help she has away from the business.  So when things kick up in the kitchen and Debbie drops a hint that she needs some help it all turns to chaos as Joe hires his girlfriend Wendy to help. So, that was my attempt at trying to write a summary. Let's be honest, I'm never going to get a job as a summary writer because I want to jam pack things that aren't even main ideas into the summary and leave out all the important information.  But enough of me talk...

Cover of the Day: These Broken Stars

These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman & Megan Spooner      I absolutely love the colors in this one. They stand out against each other and they all go so beautifully together. Then there's the way the two people are looking at each other and reaching for each other. With the starry background it makes you wonder if they're lost in space.  Lastly, I love the font. The big letters don't take up a lot of room because they are skinny as well. I also love the way the authors name is small at the bottom. It doesn't take away from the rest of the cover.  So what do you think?  Love it, like it, or hate it? -Nikki H.

Cover of the Day: Tumble and Fall by Alexandra Coutts

Tumble and Fall by Alexandra Coutts      I love that this couple looks so in love. Like they don't want to be apart ever. My favorite part is how he's all snuggled to her face and she's looking straight ahead into the camera. I also love all the glowy things around them. It makes them look all luminous. Lastly, I love the font choice for the title. A lot of people may say that the ampersand is big or annoying (that's what my mom said smh) but I find it cool how she's looking through it.  So what do you think?  Love it, like it, or hate it? -Nikki H. Btw, sorry I forgot about the post last Saturday. I was out of town and it just completely slipped my mind! 

Cover Of The Day: Boy On The Bridge

""Sorry guys, this is one day late. So sorry. Senior year problems!" Boy On The Bridge by Natalie Standiford Wow. This cover captivated me from first glance. Look at the two cover models. They have such chemistry and can I just say that their clothes are REALLY fitting for the blurb? It's amazing how the cover artist noticed the details and all that. I love the title font. It's so girly and the title contrasts with the whole theme of the cover, so it really stands out. But I wish the name of the author was a bit bigger. P.S. The snow falling is looking entirely AMAZING! What are your thoughts? - Soma

Cover of the Day: Reality Ends Here

Reality Ends Here by Alison Gaylin I took a dark room photography class in college and developing the contact sheet was always my favorite. Waiting and watching to see if all the pictures had come out as envisioned. I LOVE that this cover looks like a photographers contact sheet! My only wish is that the images weren't all the same, but I still like it nonetheless. The typography however, I'm not a fan of. Love it? Like it? Hate it? Let me know!

Cover of The Day: All Our Pretty Songs

All Our Pretty Songs by Sarah McCarry I am trying not to judge this book by its content, just by it's cover. I read this one last week and it was a failure, but I gotta give a thumbs up to the amazing cover. I love the leaves and the green swirls, and how they come together for the title. the font of the title is amazing and lovely. The model of the cover is also a pretty addition and her facing away from the camera is really nice. But I think the quote at the end is unnecessary and it took a lot of space that should have been given to the author's name. What are your thoughts? - Soma

Title: Do You Want to Start a Scandal? Author: Tessa Dare Release date: September 27, 2016 On the night of the Parkhurst ball, someone had a scandalous tryst in the library. •Was it Lord Canby, with the maid, on the divan? •Or Miss Fairchild, with a rake, against the wall? •Perhaps the butler did it. All Charlotte Highwood knows is this: it wasn’t her. But rumors to the contrary are buzzing. Unless she can discover the lovers’ true identity, she’ll be forced to marry Piers Brandon, Lord Granville—the coldest, most arrogantly handsome gentleman she’s ever had the misfortune to embrace. When it comes to emotion, the man hasn’t got a clue. But as they set about finding the mystery lovers, Piers reveals a few secrets of his own. The oh-so-proper marquess can pick locks, land punches, tease with sly wit … and melt a woman’s knees with a single kiss.
