Promise Me Darkness by Paige Weaver 
New Adult dystopia*Published April 8th 2013

"He was my darkness and I was his light. We couldn't exist without each other."

For me, life was simple. I went to school and studied. I spent time with my friends and stayed out of trouble. I didn't drink or swear and I only dated gentlemen. I was the typical good girl with a bright future. My world seemed perfect. 

But that was about to change.

Ryder Delaney was the one imperfection in my life. He was the bad boy, the black sheep, the one your mother always warned you about. He had only one hard-and-fast rule - Don't fall in love. 

But some rules were meant to be broken.

We were best friends, inseparable since childhood despite our differences. I knew the real man hiding behind the tattoos and bad attitude. He knew all my secrets and dreams. But he didn't know there was one thing I wanted and couldn't have...him.

But sometimes Fate has a way of intervening. Soon our world collapsed. War erupted. Darkness prevailed. Alone and on the run, our only goal was to survive and to ignore the feelings we had for each other. But love is powerful...

and so is the darkness.

    I think bad boys can be changed by a woman but only if they want to be.

    I do think bad boys can change, but not by a woman. He may want to change himself because of her.

    I don't think they need to be changed, I think that is part of the draw. However I do think when they find that special someone they are loyal to a fault.

    I think that if you truly love him, why should he change. If he changes, he's not the guy you fell in love with anymore.

    small change is a way of life, so I believe that over time and especially if he falls in love he will change in small ways, I think love makes people better

    I think they can change, but only so much...and they have to be willing.

    I think bad boys can change if they truly want to and with the right motivation.

    Thanks for the giveaway :)

    I don't think it's so much that they're changed by a woman, more like they're changed by their love for them- just enough anyways :)

    I think there's always hope, but be cautious! :)

    I do, but I think it needs to be their choice to change.
    I love Spring. It's when the cold and ice of winter melts away and flowers begin to bloom. The grass becomes green again. The birds chirp in the trees. And the weather warms, which is probably the very best part! So far, I have experienced many April showers. I can't wait for their inevitable consequence: flowers!
    Thanks for the giveaway and Happy Spring!

    This is a hard question! I want to think they can change but I don't think they really can just because in general people don't really change. But still I'm ever hopeful as my string of crappy boyfriends will attest =P

    It actually depends on how much he want to change but I'd say yes. Be positive.

    I don't think they really change as mature if that makes sense.

    I sure hope not!- A good woman can change any man- but point being, you should want someone for who they are, bad ole' selves and all. sdylion(at)gmail(dot)com

    Oh yes!! My mom changed my dad for the better and I changed my bf to be a better man[(he LOVED to flirt with women and take them out for drinks O.o ]. If they really want to be with you, they will stop behaving in a 'bad' manner.

    I think that they can change, but not because of a woman. They have to want to change for themselves first.

The Devouring #2: Soulstice by Simon Holt

Reading level: Young Adult Hardcover: 272 pages Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers (September 1, 2009) Book summary: The terrifying, nail-biting, and grossly intriguing sequel to The Devouring.  It's been six months since Reggie first discovered and fought against the Vours, malicious and demonic beings that inhabit human bodies on the eve of the Winter Solstice.  The Vours still haunt Reggie, but only in her dreams-until one night, when an unexpected visitor turns her nightmares into reality. My Review: Soulstice was the first book I finished for the new year. Holt has created a gripping, realistic horroriffic fantasy with likable characters, a female heroine we can root for, and a truly evil protagonist. I realized this is the first YA horror series I've read and totally enjoyed. Reggie is back, wondering what the Vours are doing in the quiet time since the incident with Quinn and her rescue of brother Henry six months earlier. The peaceful break d...
