Title: Sing Me To Sleep Author: Morrison, Angela Publisher: Razorbill Release Deate: March 4th 2010 ISBN: 1595142754 (isbn13: 9781595142757) Pages: 301 Age: Young Adult Summary from Goodreads : THE TRANSFORMATION Beth has always been “The Beast”—that’s what everyone at school calls her because of her awkward height, facial scars, and thick glasses. Beth’s only friend is geeky, golden-haired Scott. That is, until she’s selected to be her choir’s soprano soloist, and receives the makeover that will change her life forever.

Blog Tour ~ Angela Morrison | GUEST POST: My thoughts about teen love

Hi everyone!! Please welcome Angela Morrison, author of Sing Me to Sleep | Taken by Storm | Unbroken Connection | Cayman Summer, who was kind enough to give us a few words about teen love. “My thoughts about teen love” Teen love? I think when we talk about teen love it’s often about the popular girls getting it on with the popular guys and everybody else is kind of left out. That feeling of being left out of love is painful. I remember it so well. It is during our teen years when we first feel that ache in our hearts only someone very special can fill. I worry when I hear about girls who will do anything—risk their health, their safety, their very soul—to join the game only to find they’ve fallen for something false. Love that demands more of you than you want to give isn’t really love at all, is it? It’s counterfeit and far more painful than those initial pangs of loneliness.

Review: Taken by Storm by Angela Morrison

Title: Taken by Storm Author: Angela Morrison Series: Taken by Storm, #1 Release Date: March 5th 2009 Publisher: Razorbill Pages: 320 Age: Young Adult When Michael Walden—a deep-sea diver who lost his parents in a violent hurricane—arrives in town, Leesie sees someone who needs her. They fall for one another, even though his dreams are tied to the depths of the ocean and hers to salvation above. Will their intense chemistry be too strong to resist? Leesie and Michael must make the hardest choice of their lives: whether to follow their beliefs or their hearts. Readers will be swept away by this tale of forbidden romance told in online chats, Leesie’s chapbook poems, and Michael’s dive log. It’s as steamy as Twilight and just as clean. I wasn't very sure to read this book, because I'm not a Mormon. But in the end I read it, and really liked it. Leesie is a Mormon girl. She has lots of rules, and her dream is to go to college. She can't stand being...
