Make no mistakes about it. I know what I look like to others. Young, government-aided, pregnant mom. They see Lucy on my hip, and they see a mistake. I mean, why else would someone have a child so young, right? They couldn't be more wrong. I'm too busy most days between parenting, work, and finishing up my last year of nursing school to let their judging gaze tear me down until he moves into the vacant house next to the apartments I live in.His cold, blunt observation of us doesn't differ from any other stranger. He doesn't know me, but he's already painting a picture of who he thinks I am in his mind. He judges my very round belly, Lucy's inability to leave him alone, the bags under my eyes, and the fact that I couldn't care less what I look like anymore.He's a rude guy. Stays that way for months too. Then something happens, I'm not even sure what. Judgmental Guy decides Lucy and me-as well as baby Eli, are worth his friendship.Turns out, Judgmental Guy isn't too mean-okay, he kind of still is. But he graduates to Elijah. I build an unlikely friendship with him which deems it necessary for him to start smiling around me and my kids. I'm wrong again. Elijah isn't rude. He's terrifying. His strange acts of kindness are unraveling me. Elijah is only my friend.Right? Oh, fudge. I think I'm wrong. Again.

One Percent of You

Reapers are the peacekeepers-the balancers of life and death, good and evil. They're the police of the Underworld in a way. They keep both worlds balanced just enough so that the King of the Underworld can never escape his prison. For the day his reign stretches into the human world, all things good will come to an end. This is the story of a dark king who cursed seven siblings with sins, and how far those seven went to protect both worlds from the end of days when an old entity challenged the Dark One's very reign. Isabella Wen has spent the last decade in the human world hiding from the one that turned her touch deadly, made her body a weapon for his own gain. Sebastian Reaper-bearer of the sin of sloth and the eldest son of the revered Grim Reaper-has spent his entire life fighting to stay awake because of his curse. When the witch finds the sleepy sloth passed out in the human hospital, they touch and sparks fly. Her touch should have hurt him. Instead, it's the one thing he's after. She thinks her darkness is her undoing. He thinks she's his cure. When her past and her future collide, he must choose between duty and heart. The world or her? Each book in the series is about a different sibling and their sin, so the romance has an ending in each book. As for the storyline, it's just getting started.

The plot is ongoing, and everything, EVERYTHING at this point is important.And forewarning, some might consider the age difference between the couple in this book to be taboo. Just throwing that out there for anyone that might not enjoy that.
