Forbidden Territory was the kind of different contemporary I am always looking for. This book had a bit of everything, one sided crushes, best friend's older hot brother, a hiking trip geo-caching (seriously, I need to try this game!), and then the discovery of a dangerous place where they then end up being chased by men with guns which follows 48 hours of trying to stay alive and find their way back. This novel, to say the least, was exciting! First, I am a huge fan of contemporaries where the...more

4.5/5 stars! Lexy and Mica are sick of their town and old boyfriend drama. They decide four days in the bush Geocaching is the perfect cure for their boredom especially since the plan includes the two hotties they’re seriously crushing on––Tom, an exchange student from Oxford, England and Eli, Lexy’s brother. The backpacking/camping trip of their dreams gets steamy almost immediately when love and terror bring the couples together in ways they never imagined. Lexy and Mica will discover a courag...more
I was blessed enough for Melissa Pearl to give me an ARC for review!
I fell in love with the book at the first sentence! I could feel the connections that each of the 4 main characters had with each other.
I had to go to google and look up what the New Zealand bush looked like so I could get a better visual on where they were when they were out "tramping". Wow that's some serious hiking going on there! Now I want to go to New Zealand myself! The only question I had about the bush in the book was...more

I won this book in one of the contests on the author's Facebook page and read it in less than two days. What an exciting and fun read. Many of the situations and feelings explored in this book I can distinctly recall exploring as teenager and this has reminded me of what my own daughter will be going through here very soon!
Fast paced, thrilling, without going over the top - Forbidden Territory is a Wonderful YA novel I will definitely pass on to my daughter! Look forward to the next book in the...more

RATING: 4.5 ELI STARS!
‘Forbidden Territory’ is set in New Zealand. This is not a paranormal story, but a story about two guys and two girls who are going through the trials of falling in love. Add a criminal element to the story and this was a great read.
Eli aka Elijah, and Lexy aka Sexy Lexy ( boys!) aka Alexandra ( just don’t call her that) are brother and sister. Lexy and Mica aka Mike are bff’s. Tom aka Thomas aka Oxford ( he is the British one) is living with Mica’s family , he is the exch...more

2012 is the year of great contemporaries! I really, really enjoyed Forbidden Territory. I finished it in one sitting, and I am kind of bummed that it's only a standalone. I really would love to read more about Mica. And Lexy too, but I think Mica has some real spin off potential. Forbidden Territory is a fast paced, action packed, fun story. I loved the story between the two friends as well as the romances. This is a perfect summer read!

This is a clever and original story with interesting characters and exciting twists. I especially love the character Eli and the relationship between Mica and Lexie. I wish Tom could be more heroic because he seems like a bit of a sissy but overall a brilliant story.
I absolutely adored the romantic elements in this book. I also loved the witty banter between the main characters. I think that Melissa and Brenda make a great writing duo and I can't wait to see what the next book will be like!
Another great read from Melissa Pearl! This book kept me surprised at every turn. The way the romance is woven into the dangerous situation is great. Overall. I loved the book and I'd recommend it to anyone.
love the cover,sounds great!!!!!!!!

I wonder if the claws will come out when the both find they have been keeping secrets from the other, or if they will band together against the guys.it would be cool if they fought the guys instead of ea ch other. True friendship is hard to find. I also like the fact that there is the element of geo-caching and the drug crop, pbecause then I think they friendship will be solid as they fight to save themselves. This is a nail-hitting, ring twirling, up way until dawn, great book.
