Title: Heartbeat Author: Elizabeth Scott Published January 28th 2014 by Harlequin Teen Goodreads | Amazon Contemporary Young Adult Fiction ___________________________________ Heartbeat was my first experience with a book by Elizabeth Scott. I am kind of ashamed of myself for never trying out anything by her because I absolutely loved her newest story Heartbeat . I was super excited to read this book because I’ve never read something quite like this before. I mean you hear of “issue” books but it’s not often that said issue is having to deal with an unborn baby alive inside of your brain-dead mother’s uterus. I know, I know, you can say whatever you think it’s right and we can definitely argue about our opinions but when you have a relationship like the one Emma and her mother had, the decision is way more difficult than you would think. I got Emma, I really did. I don’t think there’s another human being I love more than my mother, and what happens to Emma is so terrible...

But it’s not good Samaritans they find, but rather complete and utter silence, every store and every house ab...

Title : Uninvited (Uninvited #1) Author : Sophie Jordan Expected publication : January 28th 2014 by HarperTeen Goodreads | Amazon Genre : Young Adult, Dystopia, Science Fiction ________________________________________ Uninvited started off with a bang. The United States are doing some testing to filter out individuals who have a gene that's been linked with homicidal tendencies. This, as a med student, was particularly heartbreaking. I mean it goes against every human right to accuse people of something they haven't done just because they have some 'scientific proof' that they some day will. We have no means of knowing the future, why don't people get it?    But anyway this is fiction and I tend to get irked off easily. But even if you know nothing about science, this book's whole plot will get you worked up. Especially after you meet our main character, Davy. Davina is a prodigy, no kidding, she can play pretty much any instrument and she sings ...
