Twenty-eight and a half wishes by Denise Grover Swank

Okay so I found it a bit strange at first I must admit (why would any 24 year old let their mother control them into having no life is beyond me) that being said I kind of get the point to it now. Without it there would be no story if I'm honest. Rose have forever let everyone control her, in other words she never stands up for herself. She also has visions, ridiculous vision that she conciders useless and that ain't the worse part, she blurts out what ever her vision is, no matter where she is. Nightmare! This I thought was quirky.  When one day she has a vision that changes her life forever. Her own death. Of course things only get worse when someone dies in her place. Dun, dun, dun! But then Rose meets Joe her next door neighbour. Hot, fit, Joe. Who is mysterious. It all goes tits-up from here. This book is fun, dangerous and damn right amazing at times. Detective crime story with a twist is how I would describe it. I love all the characters, I love Denise's writing style. If you're looking for a fun love story this is it.  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Twenty-Eight-Half-Wishes-Gardner-Mystery-ebook/dp/B0058UXHHK/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1441462195&sr=8-12

Devil's Bargain by Rachel Caine

Okay, so I've read all the morganville books by this author and I have to say I love her. (This book is more for Adults I'd say but there isn't anything that bad in it, so young adults could read aswell if you're into this sort of thing....) I love the fact this book is about something so different and yet she still nails it "HELL YERH!" (Think Wanted (the film where peoples' names come up and they have to kill them) cross Kim Possible (cartoon spy with a techno geek boss and sidekick best friend)...) So Jazz (the main) is one of them drink whiskey alone in a bar kind of detectives (I admire this, how a person can walk into a bar alone and not care about sitting with their own company.) I also love detective programmes (Miss Marple, Diagnosis: Murder, Poirot and sherlock holmes) although this was my first book do to with them.... It's not just detectiveness it is sort of about fate (making it happen/stopping it happening and so on) and the love interest (James) ain't that bad either (win, win) Jazz is a Badass and her business partner  Lucia is an even bigger Badass! Together they are thrown into this thing where they have to be somewhere to stop something or the other way around. The Cross Society send them red letters for every case they have (it's all kinda crazy, but a great change for detectives.) If they do this they will give them the means to help save Jazz's friend (he has been locked up for something he didn't do.) Then she gets on their bad side 'uh-oh'.... If you're into fate and a bit of action this is definitely for you. It's kinda strange and at first they have no idea what they have gotten themselves into but if you like this book you'll love the next although that is written from the partners prospective. Give it a go.
