Breaking Beautiful

Breaking Beautiful by Jennifer Shaw Wolf
Allie was in a terrible car accident. Not only is her boyfriend, Trip, killed but she loses her memory. As Allie starts to regain her memory she realizes things were not perfect with Trip. In fact they were far from it, he was an abusive and manipulative boyfriend. As her memories start to come back, she begins to wonder what really happened that night. Could the people who loved her the most be responsible for the accident? As Allie gets closer to the truth the town starts to turn against her.

This is an incredible story about the ugly side of an abusive relationship but it also is about healing and learning to trust. Sound like a Nicholas Sparks novel? Trust me it is not. If you like the edgy side of romance with a little mystery you will definitely like this book.

Blood Red Road - Book One - Dustlands Trilogy

Blood Red Road by Miora Young
I loved this book! It is a cross between The Hunger Games and Mad Max. Saba is an 18 year old girl living in the post-apocalyptic world of Silverlake, she is isolated and uneducated. The story is told in her voice the spelling and grammar mistakes were hard to get past but once I did I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Saba's twin brother Lugh is kidnapped and she must go out into a ruthless and lawless world to find him. Her less than cooperative little sister Emmi and a crow named Nero are her constant companions. She is eventually captured and taken to Hopetown, a brutal and unforgiving place, where she is forced to cage fight for the entertainment of the crowd. Saba must kill or be killed.
Check this out!
