The Bodies We Wear by Jeyn Roberts (Review #87)

"Heam is the hottest drug around. It smells like strawberries and looks like liquid silver. People say when you take Heam, your body momentarily dies and you catch a glimpse of heaven.

I saw something else. I saw hell.

Faye was only eleven when dealers forced Heam on her and her best friend, Christian. She survived; he didn't. Now she spends her days hiding her terrible secret and her nights training to take revenge on the men who destroyed her future and murdered her best friend.

But life never goes the way we think it will. When a mysterious young man named Chael appears, Faye's plan suddenly gets a lot more complicated. He seems to know everything about her, including her past. As she gets drawn into his world, she starts to realize that things aren't as black-and-white as she first thought. But too many secrets start tearing her world apart: trouble at school, with the police, and with the people she thought might be her friends. Even Gazer, her guardian, fears she's become too obsessed with vengeance.

Love and death. Will Faye overcome her desires, or will her quest for revenge consume her?"

Review:
I had so many high hopes for this book! Faye seemed like a total badass, set on killing those who almost killed her. And a guy on her right helping her get the revenge she's been craving seemed even better. Did we get that? Nope. She ended up being a total pussy (pardon my French). She completely bailed on every fight, if you could even call them that! She got her ass handed to her way too many times, and when she finally had her chance, I mean, ugh! I can't even tell you. The title reels you in with so much promise and lets you down!

Burn for Burn by Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian (Review #29)

"Lillia has never had any problems dealing with boys who like her. Not until this summer, when one went too far. No way will she let the same thing happen to her little sister. Kate is tired of the rumors, the insults, the cruel jokes. It all goes back to one person - her ex-best friend - and she's ready to make her pay. Four years ago, Mary left Jar Island because of a boy. But she's not the same girl anymore. And she's ready to prove it to him. Three very different girls who want the same thing: sweet, sweet revenge. And they won't stop until they've each had a taste." Review: This book was FAN-TAS-TIC!! I am not for the petty popular girl books, and this is definitely not one of those books. The revenge you wish you got on the person who double-crossed you is finally let loose In one of the best and most inventive ways, and the ending left me jaw-dropped. This is a book everyone should have on their shelf.

Wicked Saints by Emily A. Duncan (Review #143)

"A girl named Nadya, who hears the whispers of the gods inside her head. A prince surrounded by desperate suitors and deadly assassins. A monster hidden behind pale, tortured eyes - and a smile that cuts like a knife. The paths of these characters becomes entwined during a centuries-long war filled with sinners and saints, magic and mystery, and a star-crossed romance that threatens to tip the scales between dark and light forever." Review: This was one of the best reads I’ve had in a long while. It DEVASTATED ME. BUT IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. Nadya and Serefin were both complicated, messy, yet divine characters. Neither were in the right or wrong but both knew the endgame. I loved every second of it. These characters never did what was expected of them and I loved there growth from beginning to end. And MALACHIASZ?????? I shipped it so hard. Every twist and turn had me hoping he and Nadya would set sail. Their dynamic was so intriguing to me. They were enemies of a hig
