In My Mailbox #70

The Summer My Life Began by Shannon Greenland
*Thanks to Teen Book Scene for this ARC. I am part of the blog tour in May- perfect timing for summer!  And isn't this cover perfect? It always makes me smile.
Goodreads says, "Elizabeth Margaret—better known as Em—has always known what life would contain: an internship at her father’s firm, a degree from Harvard and a career as a lawyer. The only problem is that it’s not what she wants. When she gets the opportunity to get away from it all and spend a month with the aunt she never knew, she jumps at the chance. While there, Em pursues her secret dream of being a chef, and she also learns that her family has kept some significant secrets from her, too. And then there’s Cade, the laid-back local surfer boy who seems to be everything Em isn't. Naturally, she can’t resist him, and as their romance blossoms, Em feels she is living on her own terms for the first time."


Vampire's Kiss by Veronica Wolff
*Thanks to Penguin for this ARC. I haven't read the first book in The Watchers series, so hopefully I can get my hands on a copy.
Goodreads says, "By her wits, blood, and sacrifice, so far Drew has survived the intensive training on the Isle of Night. As a second-year Acari, her ultimate goal is to become a Watcher, and now she has a shot at her first mission. Except nothing is as it seems. The vampire Alcántara is as sinister as he is sexy, Ronan is more distant than ever, and it turns out there are other vampires out there. Bad ones.  Ancient, bloodthirsty, and powerful, these undead are really old school. They’ve captured one of the Watcher vamps and are torturing him for information. The only chance to save him is to infiltrate a major summit the baddies are holding on their own island. There will be mortals there, serving as butlers, maids, and various hired help. Drew had better brush up on her skills as a serving girl, because she’s about to go undercover…  But, when their vampire prisoner turns out to be a gorgeous bad boy, Drew’s first mission quickly turns into more than she bargained for…" 


So what do you guys think? Have you read any of these books? Has anyone read the fist book in The Watchers series? Was it any good?  Let me know!

  16. I've read The Watchers and for me it was just so-so. Not horrible but nothing new or amazing. Hope Vampire's Kiss is better!
