The Kiss  by Lucy Courtenay Published by Hachete Children's Group on 2nd July 2015 Pages:  336 Source:  *Received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review* 'Aphrodite kissed a mortal once by the light of this moon, many thousands of years ago. It drove him crazy. The next person that he kissed - boum. The craziness travelled like this from person to person. It travelled through time. Everywhere - boum! Tu comprends?' 'Where did it end up?'

Death & Co.  by D.J. McCune Series:  Death & Co. #1 Published by  Hot Key Books on 2nd May 2013 Pages:  279 Source:  *Received from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review* Thank you! Adam is a Luman, and it runs in the family. Escorting the dead from life into light, Adam must act as guide to those taken before their time. As his older brothers fall into their fate however, Adam clings to his life as a normal kid - one who likes girls, hates the Head and has a pile of homework to get through by Monday morning. When Adam gets a terrible premonition he realises that he must make a devastating choice, risking his life, his family and his destiny. Such a disappointing read! I have been so excited to start this trilogy, as the last novel Fault Lines  was just released, but I find myself extremely disappointed. What I do love are the covers of this trilogy, they are so dark and mysterious, really reflecting the teen angst. ...
