Goodreads synopsis:
She Never Thought A Kiss Could Kill. . .
Samantha is new at school and just recently joined the swim team. She's been flirting with one of her teammates, Zee, who invites her to a party and just as quickly dumps her for another girl. Hurt, but pretending not to care, she turns to his best friend, Alex, and gives him a kiss. And he dies—right in her arms. Alex was allergic to peanuts, and Samantha had eaten a peanut butter sandwich right before the party. She didn't know. Overnight, Samantha turns into the school pariah and a media sensation explodes. Consumed with guilt, abandoned by her friends, and in jeopardy of losing her swimming scholarship, she will have to find the inner-strength to forgive herself for the tragedy.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly #1
This is a Meme to show case 3 books on your shelf that you are going to
read and talk about this week. Do it any day of the week that you like :-)
The Good: it could be a book that you just started reading and it is
sooo damn good! Or, a book you've been waiting for and finally got.
The Bad: it could be a book that you are going to read because of its
hype, it was recommended to you or any other reason BUT you are not sure you
are going to like it because it's not your usual type of
book/story/genre/thing.
The Ugly: it could be any book and for any reason. It's up to you!

Blurb: Cursed to live out eternity in his rotted corpse, Romeo, known
for his ruthless, cutthroat ways, is given the chance to redeem himself by
traveling back in time to save the life of Ariel Dragland. Unbeknownst to her,
Ariel is important to both the evil Mercenaries and the love-promoting
Ambassadors and holds the fate of the world in her hands. Romeo must win her
heart and make her believe in love, turning her away from her darker potential
before his work is discovered by the Mercenaries. While his seduction begins as
yet another lie, it soon becomes his only truth. Romeo vows to protect Ariel
from harm, and do whatever it takes to win her heart and soul. But when Ariel
is led to believe his love is a deception, she becomes vulnerable to Mercenary
manipulation, and her own inner darkness may ultimately rip them apart.

Book Recommendation: Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have) by Sarah Mlynowski
Pages: 368, Hardcover
Publication Date: June 7th 2011
Publisher: HarperTeen
Rating: 4 stars
Goodreads Twitter Amazon
2 girls + 3 guys + 1 house - parents = 10 things April and her friends did that they (definitely, maybe, probably) shouldn't have.
If given the opportunity, what sixteen-year-old wouldn't jump at the chance to move in with a friend and live parent-free? Although maybe "opportunity" isn't the right word, since April had to tell her dad a tiny little untruth to make it happen (see #1: "Lied to Our Parents"). But she and her housemate Vi are totally responsible and able to take care of themselves. How they ended up "Skipping School" (#3), "Throwing a Crazy Party" (#8), "Buying a Hot Tub" (#4), and, um, "Harboring a Fugitive" (#7) at all is kind of a mystery to them.

Review: Burn for Burn (Burn for Burn #1) by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian
Pages: 368 Hardcover
Publication Date: September 18th 2012
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Rating: 4 stars
Revenge is a dish best served cold. Boys are just familiar with it. Girls know it. And that's why they do it better. Three girls, three stories, three revenge plans. One goal. Make the people who tortured and hurt them pay.
Lilia is
overprotected as far as her sister is concerned and she won't let anybody hurt
her.
Lilia is
treated like a princess. She has money, popularity and friends. Anybody could
think she has it all. But that's far from the truth. She wants a guy who is
kind and cares about her. Thing is, she has him. But they are just friends and
he will be the target of her revenge as well, because as cute as she seems, she
can also be tough and sly.
Kat used
to have friends and a best friend. Now she has herself and maybe a friend who
happens to be a) a boy and b)one of her ex-best friend's closest friends.
Tricky, right? But her revenge centers around a girl and in particular her ex
best friend. She stayed in the shadows for too long, but now it's her time to
shine. Because everybody deserves to have their moment.
