[2014] Ten Below Zero

Fri, 14 Nov 2014 09:28:20 +0200

“In here,” he said, pushing on the skin above my heart, “you're ten below zero. And you’re closer to death than I am.” My name is Parker. My body is marked with scars from an attack I don’t remember. I don’t want to remember. I choose to live my life by observation, not through experience. While people are laughing and kissing and connecting, I’m in the corner. Watching them live. I’m indifferent to everything, everyone. The only emotion I feel with any kind of depth is annoyance, and I feel it often. A text message sent to the wrong number proves to be my undoing. His name is Everett, but I call him rude. He’s pushy, he’s arrogant, he crowds my personal space, and worst of all: he makes me feel. He chooses to wear all black, all the time, as if he’s waiting to attend a funeral. Probably because he is. Everett is dying. And he’s spending his final days living, truly living. In doing so, he’s forcing me to feel, to heal. To come face to face with the demons I suppressed in my memory. He hurts me, he fulfills me, he completes me. And still, he's dying. --

WARNING: This is not a story about two happy people who fall easily into love. This is a story about two broken people who find one another - and don't necessarily like each other. These characters are blunt, rude, and at times annoying. They are broken and sheltered and vulnerable.

*This book has violence, sexual situations, and harsh language and is not recommended for those under 17. * **

Review

Warning: Ten Below Zero is about a guy who is dying and is also trying to get a girl to feel something because she doesn't feel for things. Parker and Everett will be blunt, honest, annoying and rude. If you are already turned off by that then I suggest you find another book to read because this was just heartbreakingly beautiful and it doesn't deserve anything less than your heart (and soul) on a platter willing to get torn to shreds. - Briana Pacheco, author of the Enough trilogy -- I can't get over how this book touched me-it wasn't just a book that you read and set aside never to give it a second thought again. It's one that you can come back to-one that you want to come back to. - Christie with Smokin' Hot Book Blog -- It's angsty and emotional. Deep-cutting and visceral. Some of the lines in her book will make you stop and reread them, just because they touch a part of your soul. They say that when a character shares similar traits as yourself, you feel more connected to the story and I have to say that's true. There's a certain character in here that I felt akin to. I could feel the struggle of having pain and burying it deep deep inside of yourself so you can avoid that kind of pain again. It's palpable and doesn't alway feel good when you recognize someone has taken this trait of yours and placed it on ink and paper. - Jade Eby, author of The Right Kind of Wrong, Back to Bad series, and Whiskey and a Gun.

He Found Me

Fri, 14 Nov 2014 22:52:05 +0200

When I was seventeen, I disappeared. I walked out the door of my apartment with a backpack and never looked back. I left the life of Cora Mitchell behind, seeking freedom from my real-life nightmare. But my freedom came with a cost. I lived a fictitious life for the next six years, never letting anyone close enough to see underneath the façade that was Andra Walker. I was content with my simple little life. Until I met Julian. And the moment I started allowing myself to open up, allowing someone to see through the superficial, was the very same moment the Monster from my past would return to find me.

He Saved Me

Fri, 14 Nov 2014 15:59:06 +0200

Julian
I’ve come to understand that I’ll always find her. She’s my north star, my sense of direction. In her, I’ve found my home. She tells me I saved her. But the truth is, she saved me. But nothing good can ever last. Andra’s keeping secrets. She’s holding something back. I’m trying, desperately, to anchor her. To let me in, to let me help. But will all my efforts end up with a ghost of a girl I love? Andra
I'm used to disappearing. Vanishing into thin air, without a trace of who I've been or where I've gone. But it’s so much harder to do with a broken heart and no hope for a happy ending. Sometimes the only people who can put all the pieces of us back together are the ones we least expect to. That's what Julian did for me. Julian found me. But now, all Six wants is to keep me locked up, away from the world, away from the Monster. I can't live like that. It's not living at all. Because I still have unfinished business. And I'm going to make sure the Monster gets what’s coming to him.
