Trust in Me (Wait for You #1.5)by J. Lynn, Jennifer L. Armentrout

Expected publication: October 22nd 2013William Morrow ImpulseE-book

(Goodreads synopsis) It’s Wait for You as you’ve never seen it. Trust in Me lets you in on Cam’s side of the #1 New York Times Bestselling story.

Cameron Hamilton is used to getting what he wants, especially when it comes to women. But when Avery Morgansten comes crashing into his life – literally – he finally meets the one person who can resist his soulful baby blues. But Cam’s not ready to give up. He can’t get the feisty and intriguing girl out of his head.

Avery has secrets, secrets that keep her from admitting the feelings Cam knows she has for him. Will persistence (and some delicious homemade cookies) help him break down her barriers and gain her trust? Or will he be shut out of Avery's life, losing his first real shot at the kind of love that lasts forever?

Why I'm waiting: Two words - Aiden. Cam. Enough said.

What are you "waiting on"?

My Teaser:

Half-Blood (Covenant #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

There wasn't an inch of space between us. I could feel the hard ripple of his abdominal muscles pressing against my stomach, could feel his lips only inches from mine. Suddenly I entertained a wild idea. I wondered if his lips felt as good as they looked... because they looked awesome. (Kindle Location 142 of 5298 : 2%)

(Goodreads synopsis) The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi pure bloods have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals--well, not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures. Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1:Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden. Unfortunately, she's crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn't her biggest problem--staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is. If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon, and being hunted by Aiden. And that would kind of suck.

I am doing the Covenant Read-Along from Deity Island. This week we are reading Daimon. Over the next couple months I will most likely put a quote from the book we are reading that week along with whatever else I am reading. If you love Alex and Aiden as much as me and would like to join the read-along go here.

My Teaser:
 

Daimon (Covenant 0.5)

by Jennifer L. Armentrout

 

"Run, half blood." The daimon tilted his head towards me. "I'll enjoy the chase. And once I catch you, even the gods won't be able to stop what I will do to you. Run!"  (Kindle Location 971 of 1204 : 80%)

 

(Goodreads synopsis) "Love in my world usually ended up with someone hearing 'I smite thee ' as she was cursed to be some lame flower for the rest of her life." For three years, Alexandria has lived among mortals--pretending to be like them and trying to forget the duty she'd been trained to fulfill as a child of a mortal and a demigod. At seventeen, she's pretty much accepted that she's a freak by mortal standards... and that she'll never be prepared for that duty. According to her mother, that's a good thing.But as every descendant of the gods knows, Fate has a way of rearing her ugly head. A horrifying attack forces Alex to flee Miami and try to find her way back to the very place her mother had warned her she should never return-the Covenant. Every step that brings her closer to safety is one more step toward death... because she's being hunted by the very creatures she'd once trained to kill. The daimons have found her.
