A YA Contemporary Thriller about a girl with a heart condition who has been sheltered for most of her life.  Now she's given a week trial period to prove to her parents she can make it in real high school.  Of course things do not go smoothly at school; there's bullies, embarrassing moments, overprotective parents, a crush, and throw in a thrilling mystery on top.


By: Elissa Janine Hoole
Cass is stuck in an overbearing religion that she no longer believes in.  When she's assigned to write a poem in school she wants to express herself, but can't.  Instead she starts a tarot card inspired advice blog.  When one of her posts is reported to the school as a case of cyber-bullying, her church sees it as an act of sorcery, and Cass isn't sure if she should come forward or not.


(After Eden #1)

Other Books Out This Week:






The first week of the month is always jammed packed.  I really want to read The In-BetweenThe Naturals, and After Eden.  I'm also seriously thinking about getting into The Farm series.  It sounds really good!  What are you most into??

  2. I thought this was a slow week, but when I look at this post, I'm a little intimidated. Good thing I only had plans to read a few of them! And I already got the audio for Champion and Four Seconds to Lose, so I'm doing good. :)
