My To-Be Read List is a meme hosted by Because Reading is Better Than Real Life where at the beginning of the month visitors can choose which book I’ll be reading this month. On the first saturday of a month the poll will be up, then on the second saturday of the month I’ll announce the book that won and on the last saturday of the month I’ll post my review of the book.
Okay below are are the 3 books on which you can vote this month. I picked a standalone, a second and a third book in the series. Three different genres and all books I recently acquired and hope to read soon. Happy voting!

Blurb:
Luke Boone doesn’t know exactly what his uncle Rust is involved in but he wants in on it-the cars, the money, the women. And it looks like he’s finally getting his wish. When Rust hands him the managerial keys to the garage, they come with a second set—one that opens up the door to tons of cash and opportunity. Though it’s not exactly legal, Luke’s never been one to worry about that sort of thing. Especially when it puts him behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 and onto the radar of gorgeous socialite named Rain.Clara Bertelli is at the top of her game—at only twenty-six years old, she’s one of the most successful undercover officers in the Washington D.C. major crime unit, and she’s just been handed a case that could catapult her career and expose one of the west coast’s most notorious car theft rings. But, in order to do it, she’ll need to go deep undercover as Rain Martines. Her target? The twenty-four-year old nephew of a key player who appears ready to follow in his uncle’s footsteps.
As Clara drifts deeper into the luxurious lifestyle of Rain, and further into the arms of her very attractive and charming target, the lines between right and wrong start to blur, making her wonder if she’ll be able to leave it all behind. Or if she’ll even want to.

The building has no windows. The exits are sealed shut. Their phones are gone. And their captors are on a killing spree.
Riley and Max know that if they can’t get out, they’ll be next—but they’re about to discover that even escape doesn’t equal freedom.
I voted for Kelley Armstrong – creepy cover ^^
I actualy have a paperback copy with another cover, but I hate that one, so I’ll just use this one on my blog. It’s a creepy cover indeed!
I pick Becoming rain. I actually haven’t started this series yet but I really want to! And I want to hear what you think of this sequel. The Masked Truth sounds good, too! Including that one in my TBR. Happy reading!
I really enjoyed Burying Water and ever since I’ve been wanting to continue the series, but haven’t gotten around to starting the second book yet.
I love Kelley Armstrong her writing style and even though I am not a fan of scary books, I just have to read The Masked Truth.
I voted for Collision! 🙂 It sounds awesome. I’ve never heard of that series before and I’m definitely going to check it out now.
It’s a great series and I enjoyed the first two books so far and the covers are so pretty! I hope you’ll check it out 🙂
Becoming Rain looks so good…it got my vote!
I really enjoyed the first book, so I am looking forward to continuing the series.
I vote for The Masked Truth. That book was sooo good!
I am glad you enjoyed it! I am looking forward to reading it!
They all sound really good, Lola. And I hadn’t heard of The Masked Truth. I ended up voting for Becoming Rain because I know how much you liked the first book and hopefully it’ll win and you’ll *have* to read #2. 😉
I really want to read Becoming rain soon and continue the series as I really enjoyed the first book.
I went with Becoming Rain
Thanks for voting! I hope I can read Becoming Rain soon as the first book was really good.
Tough choice! I went with Collision though, for the Fantasy aspect and the pretty cover!
I love the cover for Collision, it’s so pretty!
I went with Becoming Rain since I know you liked the first one. 🙂
I really enjoyed the first one and I want to continue this series soon.
Of course, I voted for Becoming Rain, because I think you’ll enjoy it, and I really want to see what you think of it 🙂
Enjoy your weekend, Lola!
I hope I’ll enjoy Becoming Rain as much as the first book. I really want to continue this series soon.
I voted for The Masked Truth cause I hear it was awesome. I have it, so I kinda wanna see your opinion on it too heh
I’ve read some great reviews for The Masked Truth so far and it’s written by Kelley Armstrong, so I am really curious about it.
I read the amazon snippet of it and I thought it was good!
I hardly ever read excerpts of snippets of books, so I am not going to read the amazon snippet as else I probably want to read the whole book immediately.
That was tough! I went with The Masked Truth since I know you are a big fan of her books.
I like your reasoning ;). I am big fan of Kelley Armstrong her books, so I hope I’ll enjoy The Masked Truth. Although it’s a genre I don’t read normally, so I am also a bit hesistant to start it for that reason
I had to pick Becoming Rain as I enjoyed it so much. Hope you enjoy whatever is chosen.
I really enjoyed Burying Water, so I hope I’ll enjoy Becoming Rain just as much.
I have heard some great things about Tucker, so I voted for that one. Even though I haven’t tried her out yet, her books always sound so interesting.
I read the first book in this series already and really enjoyed it, so I am looking forward to continue the series soon!
Tough choice! I ended up going with Becoming Rain because I seem to remember you realy enjoying the first one. I hope you enjoy whichever one wins 🙂
Yes I really enjoyd the first one and in fact it was also picked through one of these polls.
I don’t recognise any of them SHAME ON ME but I voted for the last one because it looks decidedly stressful and exciting to read about. XD
I agree The Masked Truth sounds very exciting read and a bit scary as well.
I chose Collision just because I’m horrible at finishing series, so I want to help others along with finishing theirs. 🙂
Same here I am horrible at finishing series. Although Collision isn’t the last book I think the series will be 5 books long, but I try to keep up with this one so I don’t fall behind. The author writes really fast, so if I don’t keep up I’ll fall behind very fast.
I chose Becoming Rain. I like the idea of someone undercover becoming enamored with the life they are pretending to lead, because it sounds believable to me.
I think the whole undercover aspect sounds very interesting and believable. I can’t wait to read this one!
I voted for Becoming Rain!
Thanks for voting! I hope I can read Becoming Rain soon as I really enjoyed the first book.
The Masked Truth, it looks really good!
Thanks! I agree it looks really good!
I’m really interested to see what you think of Kelley Armstrong’s new book. I just love her work.
Me too, I love her books. Although this one is outside of my usual genre, so I am a bit hesistant about the start it.
The Masked Truth – mainly because I really want to read it (it sounds awesome) and I’m curious to see what you think. 🙂
It sure sounds like it will be a good one and it’s written by one of my favourite authors.
I went with Collison for no reason whatsoever. lol
That’s as good a reaosn as any ;). The first two books were really good, so I am looking forward to continuing the series.
Well that was tough. I know Becoming Rain is good, but your cover reveal on Collision has me intrigued. And then Kelley Armstrong is a general favorite. So I picked Collision- curiosity won out for me. Haha!
That’s why I am glad to have you all help me decide, they all sound like good ones. I love the cover for Collision, it’s so pretty and the first two books in the series were good, so I am pretty sure Collision will be a good one too.
I picked the one by Kelly Armstrong because I too have a book on my TBR list from her this month 😉
I just voted for Bitten on your TBR list poll ;). I love her books!
I went with the Kelly Armstrong too! Creepy!!
Thanks for voting! The Masked Truth looks really creepy indeed!
