Whew, can't believe 2015 has passed! It's 2016 and I'm still the same as ever. Well, guess what. I just started this blog last year on March... or February, I think, and I already got a few e-ARCs and Ebooks for reviewing! I know they're not hard copies like I prefer them to be. But, it still counts as something. The thing is, I live in the middle of nowhere and no publishers would send a free hard copy to someone who lives outside of the U.S or England or Canada.
Okay, so now I'm gonna show you some titles of the review copies or ARCs I got in 2015. They're all electronic, of course. Some of them might have been reviewed before and you can read their reviews if you click the link (if there's one).

For years, Kade's true nature has lurked behind an illusion, she knows the drill: no close friends, no boyfriends, and most importantly: don't expose what she is. Ever. Keeping secrets is easy. Lies are second nature. So is the loneliness-and the fear, but when the Shadows attack, and Kade meets Cole Spires, she could expose everything she's trying to hide.
As one of the Celestial Children, Cole lives by an oath: defend the Ward, protect the Primordial race, guard the gateways, and stick to his own. Everything else is a distraction, and besides, he's lost enough. Cole's job is clear, and no one his age does it better. So, when he meets Kade in a club downtown, he assumes she just wants his attention. Most girls do, but Cole soon realizes ... Kade isn't like most girls.

Every time Tara Holland thinks she’s getting close to finally having her white wedding, the man who should be on his knee, giving her roses, winds up on his back, pushing up daisies. Needless to say, Tara’s beginning to think she’s cursed when it comes to men.
Her best friend, Betsy, who’s always there to put the pieces back together, convinces Tara she’s the cause of each of her boyfriend’s untimely exits to the other side. Could it be that Tara has that kind of psychic power? And is Betsy right that women all over the world would pay a pretty penny for it?
I think that's all.. A lot, huh? Believe me, I barely have time to read them all. I've only read 2 of them so far, actually. Well, just pray for me and wish I could read them all before the due date. Or the publishers won't trust me again, which is not something I'm too excited about.
