Nevermore by Kelly Creagh

2011-04-02T09:21:00.000-07:00

Synopsis

Cheerleader Isobel Lanley is horrified when she is paired with Varen Nethers for an English project, which is due—so unfair—on the day of the rival game. Cold and aloof, sardonic and sharp-tongued, Varen makes it clear he’d rather not have anything to do with her either. But when Isobel discovers strange writing in his journal, she can’t help but give this enigmatic boy with the piercing eyes another look.

Soon, Isobel finds herself making excuses to be with Varen. Steadily pulled away from her friends and her possessive boyfriend, Isobel ventures deeper and deeper into the dream world Varen has created through the pages of his notebook, a realm where the terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe come to life. As her world begins to unravel around her, Isobel discovers that dreams, like words, hold more power than she ever imagined, and that the most frightening realities are those of the mind. Now she must find a way to reach Varen before he is consumed by the shadows of his own nightmares. His life depends on it.

My Review:

I Loved This Novel! Varen Is An Intense Character. Isobel Is Beautiful And Sweet. A True Golden Heart Lies Within Her. It Took Me A Couple Of Chapters To Warm Up To Her, Though. I Guess Beacause Of Who She Was Before The Novel Began. By The Middle Of This Book I Was Dreaming, Thinking, And Breathing It All In, Literally Craving It! Going To Class And Work Proved Very Difficult. I Hauled This Book EVERYWHERE With Me Beacuse I Was So Lost In The Depths Of It. Creagh's Writing Style Is Exceptionally Detailed; From The Characters To The Storyline. I Was Hooked After The First 3 Chapters. It's Only A Shame That We Have To Wait Nearly A Year Before The Sequel Comes Out.. Can We Please Have It Sooner??!

Beastly by Alex Flinn

2011-03-01T14:58:00.000-08:00

Synopsis:

A beast. Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright—a creature with fangs and claws and hair springing from every pore. I am a monster.

You think I'm talking fairy tales? No way. The place is New York City. The time is now. It's no deformity, no disease. And I'll stay this way forever—ruined—unless I can break the spell.

Yes, the spell, the one the witch in my English class cast on me. Why did she turn me into a beast who hides by day and prowls by night? I'll tell you. I'll tell you how I used to be Kyle Kingsbury, the guy you wished you were, with money, perfect looks, and the perfect life. And then, I'll tell you how I became perfectly . . . beastly.

My Book Review:

I Really Loved This Version Of "Beauty And The Beast." The Modern Touch To It Makes It A Little More Intruiging Than Other Versions, Especially Since It's Told Through The Beast's Eyes Instead. I Really Loved The Characters- Kyle (Adrain), Kendra, And Lindy. Kyle Really Does Morph From A Beast To A Beautiful Young Man By The End Of The Book. Kendra Really Is A Nasty Witch Who Becomes A Beautiful Enchantress And Curses Kyle Changing Him Into A Beast. And Lindy Is Just A Normal Girl Who Is Romantically Beautiful On The Inside And Out As Can Be (Straight Down To Her Jane Eyre T-Shirt..) The Life Of The Party (As I Call Him) Will Is Kyle/Adrian's Funny Witty Blind School Tutor. The Beginning Of The Book Is Told Through Kyle (The Young Beastly Full Of Himself Man) And The Second Half Is Told Through Adrian (Once Kyle Becomes The Beast He Changes His Name To Adrian) The Beast Really Transforms And Becomes A Prince Underneath. I Really Couldn't Stand Kyle But It Was Super Easy To Fall In Love With The Beast Once He Became Adrian. He Really Tugged At My Heart Strings By The End Of This Book.

Rating 4/5

My Movie Review:

I Was Given An Opportunity To See The Beastly Movie Before It Hits Theaters This Friday, And I've Gotta Say I Really Enjoyed This Movie. Alex Pettyfer Played Kyle/Hunter (In The Movie The Name-Change Is Hunter) He Played The Character Very Well! Vanessa Hudgens And Mary-Kate Olsen Both Fulfilled Roles As Lindy And Kendra. Will Played By Neil Patrick Harris Is Just As Witty And A Bit Funnier Than The Book.. I Do Not Want To Give To Much Away But I Will Say That The Movie Moved Pretty Quickly. Kyle And Lindy's Relationship Grows Pretty Fast, Just As in The Book. Although, To Me It Felt As If A Lot Was Left Out It Definitely Satisfied My Need To See This Movie. Whether You Read The Book Or Watch The Movie Beastly Is Definite Must Read/See!

Low Red Moon by Ivy Devlin

2010-10-12T17:28:00.000-07:00

Synopsis

The only thing Avery Hood can remember about the night her parents died is that she saw silver—deadly silver, moving inhumanly fast. As much as she wants to remember who killed them, she can't, and there's nothing left to do but try to piece her life back together. Then Avery meets the new boy in school—Ben, mysterious and beautiful, with whom she feels a connection like nothing she's ever experienced. When Ben reveals he's a werewolf, Avery still trusts him—at first. Then she sees that sometimes his eyes flash inhuman silver. And she learns that she's not the only one who can't remember the night her parents died.Part murder mystery, part grief narrative, and part heart-stopping, headlong romance Low Red Moon is a must-read for teen paranormal fans.

My Review

I Picked Up A Copy Of This Book On A Total Impulse Buy. I Saw It. Read The Inside Flap And Had To Have It. Low Red Moon Is A Heart-Breaking Story. The Story Immediately Begins Grasping You With A Story So Intense You Can't Blink. The More Chapters You Dive In The More Addicted To Devlin's Story You Get. I Found Low Red Moon On My Mind When I Wasn't Reading It And Even Dreamt About It Once! Avery And Ben's Relationship Does Move A Little Too Quick For Me But I Felt The Connection Between Them Was Meant For It To Be That Way. It Kind Of Reminded Me Of "Imprinting" From The "Twilight Saga." And Of Course A Small Tint Of Little Red Riding Hood. Their Story Grows In A Way You Aren't Expecting But This Book Has A Finale You'll Never Forget!

SHADE by Jeri Smith-Ready And GIVEAWAY!

2010-05-11T14:11:00.000-07:00

Synopsis

Love ties them together. Death can't tear them apart.

Best. Birthday. Ever. At least, it was supposed to be. With Logan's band playing a critical gig and Aura's plans for an intimate after-party, Aura knows it will be the most memorable night of her boyfriend's life. She never thought it would be his last.

Logan's sudden death leaves Aura devastated. He's gone.

Well, sort of.

Like everyone born after the Shift, Aura can see and hear ghosts. This mysterious ability has always been annoying, and Aura had wanted nothing more than to figure out why the Shift happened so she can undo it. But not with Logan's violet-hued spirit still hanging around. Because dead Logan is almost as real as ever. Almost.

It doesn't help that Aura's new friend Zachary is so understanding—and so very alive. His support means more to Aura than she cares to admit.

As Aura's relationships with the dead and the living grow ever complicated, so do her feelings for Logan and Zachary. Each holds a piece of Aura's heart?and clues to the secret of the Shift.

My Review:
This Story Is A Really Good One. It Wowed Me. The Shift Is An Unknown Change That Occured That Led Everyone Born After It To Be Able To See Ghosts. After The Shift Ghosts Became Purplish And Are No Longer Seen In A Whitish Hue. Ghosts Now Can Become Shades - An Angry, Bitter Shapeless Spirit, Who Has Not Moved On Immediately. Aura, The Main Character Was Born On The Exact Date Of The Shift At The Very Exact Same Time. She's A Little Angry At The Fact That She Can See These Ghosts And Works With Her Aunt To Try And Solve Unresolved Deaths. She Can Not Find A Way To Block Out The Ghosts, And Is Also Seeking Some Way To Find Out Why The Shift Happened And How She Can End It. There Is Also An Amazing, Intense Love Story Here But I Don't Want To Give Too Much Away. You Have To Read It To Know What I'm Talking About. This Is A Book That Just Makes You Want To Talk About It. The World That Was Created For This Book And The Characters Jeri Created Are Heartfelt And You Can Fall Into This Story And Get Super-Lost In The World Of Shade.

I Highly Recommend This Book!

The Beautiful Dead: Jonas by Eden Maguire

2010-05-05T06:38:00.000-07:00

Synopsis

Not alive...
Not dead...
Somewhere in between lie the Beautiful Dead...

When Darina’s boyfriend, Phoenix, is the fourth student to die from Ellerton High School, she feels her sanity start to slip away. Why fight when everything is bleak and gray? For Darina, there is no beauty left in the world. She is certain that she’s going crazy when she sees him, and the other high school fatalities, in an abandoned barn. But when Phoenix kisses her, she’s convinced he’s come back… to life? Jonas, Summer, Arizona and Phoenix have been guided back from death by the enigmatic and frightening Hunter, a “babysitter” for souls returned from the dead. The rules stipulate that they can remain in the world of the living for up to one year in order to set right a wrong linked to their deaths. In exchange for being allowed to see Phoenix, Darina agrees to help the undead teens find justice, starting with Jonas—whose year is nearly up! Keeping a barn full of animated, tattooed corpses a secret becomes increasingly difficult as rumors of ghosts and strange happenings rip through the small community. Grief stricken, the townspeople mobilize groups of bikers to explore the country around the town. Darina must discover who is behind Jonas’s fatal motorcycle accident—without becoming a victim herself—and keep the secret of the Beautiful Dead. She would sacrifice anything to help her beloved Phoenix find peace, but setting him free means losing him forever…

My Review
A-MAZING!! When I Went Into B&N On My Weekly Book Binge I Wasn't There To Pick This Book Up Intentionally, But I Saw The Cover, Read The Back And Had To Have It! This Book Is A Super-Easy Read. Sometimes I Felt Like I Was Reading The Main Character - Darina's Journal. Although This Book Is Very Popular In The UK I Hadn't Really Heard Of It. Boy, Am I Glad I Bought It! Darina Is Going Through A Really Tough Patch. She Just Lost Her Boyfriend, Her Best Friend Isn't Speaking To Her Anymore, Her Best Guy Friend Wants More From Her, And Her Mother Makes Her See A Shrink. To Top It All Off, One Day Of Wandering Around Leads Her To Find THE BEAUTIFUL DEAD. Four Dead Teenagers Being Run By An Overlord Named Hunter. And One Them Is Phoenix: Her Dead Boyfriend. These Four Souls Are Still On Earth To Discover What Happened To Them. How And Why They Died. Darina's Character Is Really Easy To Relate To. I Haven't Lost Anyone Like That, But I Understand What Makes Her Hold On To Phoenix So Tightly. And That's The Fear Of Being Alone. We Don't Really Get To Know More About The Beautiful Dead, Possibly Because Each Character Has They're Own Book. And So Begins A Whirlwind Of Suspense As Darina Tries To Figure Out What Happended To Jonas. The First Teenager To Die Nearly A Year Ago. And Time Is Running Out...
I Highly Recommend This Book!

Morpheus Road: The Light by D.J. MacHale

2010-04-21T07:55:00.000-07:00

Synopsis

A new supernatural series that tells the story of a sixteen-year-old boy who is being hunted and haunted by ghosts.

My Review
The Light by DJ McHale Is The First Book In The Morpheus Road Trilogy. This Book Is An Awesome Read! I Was Hooked By Chapter 2. The Main Charater Is Marsh. The Book Begins With Marsh Speaking About The Prior Week And What's Happening Now. His Father Goes On A Business Trip And His Best Friend Goes Missing. The Story Begins Rather Slow But Picks Up Really Quickly In a Mind-Boggling Race. I'm Still Trying To Find Out What Morpheus Road Is, Although That Information Will Probably Be Revealed When The Other Two Books Are Released. Spooky things Begin Happening in His Home That He Can't Seem To Understand Or Explain. Marshall Invents An Imaginary Character, Gravedigger, Who Comes To Life Before His Eyes. Thrilling Horror Hides In Every Page As Marsh Trys To Find Out Where His Best Friend Coop Has Gone And Why Gravedigger Seems To Be After Him. This Book Is Like Encyclopedia Brown Meets The TV Show Supernatural. The Ending Took Quite A Turn And Was Told From Another Character's Narration, Which Is Awesome! This Book Locked Me In And Kept Me On Edge! I Believe It Will Keep You On Edge Too!

Fallen And Leviathan by Thomas Sniegoski

2010-04-19T17:02:00.000-07:00

Synopsis

On his eighteenth birthday, Aaron begins to hear strange voices and is convinced he is going insane. But having moved from foster home to foster home, Aaron doesn't know whom he can trust. He wants to confide in the cute girl from class, but fears she'll confirm he's crazy.

Then a mysterious man begins following Aaron. He knows about Aaron's troubled past and his new powers. And he has a message for Aaron: As the son of a mortal and an angel, Aaron has been chosen to redeem the Fallen.

Aaron tries to dismiss the news and resists his supernatural abilities. But he must accept his newfound heritage -- and quickly. For the dark powers are gaining strength, and are hell-bent on destroying him....

My Review:

Aaron Is An Average Teenage Guy, Until He Turned 18. A Foster Child With Quite A Temper, He Begins Having Terrible Nightmares. Two Men Appear To Warn Him About His Destiny. And So Begins An Adventure You Will Never Forget! Aaron Learns He Is A Nephilim, A Child Born Of A Human Female And An Angel. There's A Group Of Angels That Are Out To Finish Everything They Feel Is Ungodly. They Are Called The Powers. They're Seeking Aaron Out Because According To The Prophecy, There Is The ONE That Will Have The Fallen Angels Forgiven And Returned To Heaven. The Powers Are Not Too Happy About This And Are NOT About To Let It Happen. Who Could The ONE Be? You Have To Read To Find Out!

This Is A Special Re-Release Edition Of The First Two Novels In The Fallen Series. This Series Will Compel You To Adore It And Make Your Head Spin At The Same Time. Angels Are Quickly On The Rise! I Was Drawn Into This Book Not Only By The Cover But By Sniegoski's Wonderful Writing Style. they're Are Tons Of Surprises And Twists In The Plot That You'll Be Happily Lost in The World Of Fallen. I Haven't Read A Book This Good Since Last Year! I Already Pre-Ordered Book 2 In The Series (Which Is Actually Books 3 And 4 Bound Up Into One!) I Highly Recommend This Book! Especially if You Want To Deviate A Little From All The Vampires, Fairies, And Wolves!

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

2009-11-12T06:39:00.000-08:00

Synopsis

There were no surprises in Gatlin County.
We were pretty much the epicenter of the middle of nowhere.
At least, that's what I thought.
Turns out, I couldn't have been more wrong.
There was a curse.
There was a girl.
And in the end, there was a grave.

Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.

Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.

In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.

My Review

What an amazing whirl wind! This book is an absolute amazing rollercoaster ride that will yank you into the town of Gatlin by the back of your neck, and won't let go. The haunting story line and characters keep you curious, as you turn page after page. This is a spellbinding story that seeps into your soul. As I came closer to the end I found myself dreading the leave from Gatlin, but desperately wanting to know what would happen next. Stohl and Garcia have officially joined the ranks of all the rest YA Dark Romance authors. I highly recommend this book. If I could rate this higher than five I would. This book easily became the best book I've read in the year 2009.

Today's New Release Is The Hollow by Jessica Verday

Synopsis

When Abbey's best friend, Kristen, vanishes at the bridge near Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, everyone else is all too quick to accept that Kristen is dead?and rumors fly that her death was no accident. Abbey goes through the motions of mourning her best friend, but privately, she refuses to believe that Kristen is really gone. Then she meets Caspian, the gorgeous and mysterious boy who shows up out of nowhere at Kristen's funeral, and keeps reappearing in Abbey's life. Caspian clearly has secrets of his own, but he's the only person who makes Abbey feel normal again...but also special.

Just when Abbey starts to feel that she might survive all this, she learns a secret that makes her question everything she thought she knew about her best friend. How could Kristen have kept silent about so much? And could this secret have led to her death? As Abbey struggles to understand Kristen's betrayal, she uncovers a frightening truth that nearly unravels her—one that will challenge her emerging love for Caspian, as well as her own sanity.

Synopsis

All her parents wanted was for Eryn to live a normal life...

Redgrave had its share of monsters before Eryn moved to town. Mauled pets, missing children.

The Delacroix family is taking the blame, but Eryn knows the truth. Something stalks the night. Wade, the police chief's son and Redgrave High's resident hottie, warns her the Delacroix are dangerous. But then so is Eryn - in fact, she's lethal.

But she can't help falling for one of the Delacroix boys, dark, brooding - human Alec. And then it all goes bad.

Fallen by Kate Lauren

Release Date - 12/8/2009

Synopsis

Seventeen-Year-Old Luce is a new student at Sword & Cross, an unwelcoming boarding/reform school in Savannah, Georgia. Luce’s boyfriend died under suspicious circumstances, and now she carries the guilt over his death with her as she navigates the unfriendly halls at Sword & Cross, where every student seems to have an unpleasant—even evil—history.

It’s only when she sees Daniel, a gorgeous fellow student, that Luce feels there’s a reason to be here—though she doesn’t know what it is. And Daniel’s frosty cold demeanor toward her? It’s really a protective device that he’s used again . . . and again. For Daniel is a fallen angel, doomed to fall in love with the same girl every 17 years . . . and watch her die. And Luce is a fellow immortal, cursed to be reincarnated again and again as a mortal girl who has no idea of who she really is.

My Review

This Book Took Me For A Loop. In A Good Way. I Was Actually Leaving The Store When I Spotted It On The Shelf And Just WANTED It. Look At That Cover! As I Began Reading, I Realized This Book Is Not At All What I Expected. I Was Expecting Magic, Water, Mermaids, Beauty and Whole Bunch More Peter-Pan Like Characters. Instead It Was An Everyday Family On Vacation Enjoying The Beach. This Is A Wonderful Coming Of Age Teen Book That Anyone Would Enjoy Reading. Amy Can't Seem To Get Along With Anyone, But When You're A Teen It's Kinda Like That. Her Sister Is A Little Bully Who Hides Behind Stories Of Other Peoples Lives. Their Step-Dad Is More Than A Tyrant, And Amy's Mom Is Holding One Big Secret!! She Finds Comfort In One Of The "MERMAIDS" Working At Mermaid Park And A boy Who Cleans Pools And Tanks By The Name Of Dylan. This Book Takes A While To Unravel, But When It Does You're HOOKED. All In All It Really Is A Good Book.

Prophecy Of The Sisters by Michelle Zink

2009-08-06T15:21:00.000-07:00

Synopsis

Sixteen-year-old Lia Milthorpe and her twin sister Alice have just become orphans, and, as Lia discovers, they have also become enemies. The twins are part of an ancient prophecy that has turned generations of sisters against each other. To escape from a dark fate and to remain in the arms of her beloved boyfriend James, Lia must end the prophecy before her sister does. Only then will she understand the mysterious circumstances of her parents' deaths, the true meaning of the strange mark branded on her wrist, and the lengths to which her sister will go to defeat her. Debut novelist Michelle Zink takes readers on an unforgettable journey where one sister's fateful decision could have an impact of Biblical proportions.

My Review

This Is One Of The Most Original, Beautifully Written Stories I've Ever Read. It Keeps You In A Trance As You Read Page After Page Of This Amazing Book! It's Dark Moonlight, Gothic Style Immediately Pulled Me In And Would Not Let Me Go. Lia And Alice Are Very Well-Written. They Are Two Twin Sisters Who Have Just Come To the Realization That They Are On The Opposing Sides Of An Ancient Prophecy. This Brings A Whole New Meaning To The Evil Twin Theory! It's Very Easy To Picture Them As Real People. The Very Beginning Of This Book Pulls At You, Scares You, And Enthralls You As Lia Leads You Through Her Father's Funeral. From Then On You're Hooked. I Actually Loved The Sisters So Much That I Found It Hard To Just Side With The Good Sister. It's Easy To Feel For Alice And Want Her To Succeed As Well. As The Story Moves On And Reaches The Ending You're Left Craving For More. It's Not Necessarily A Cliff Hanger But It Is Clear That There Is More To This Tale. Which Is Very Awesome And True! Prophecy Is The First Of Three Books. Michelle's Debut Novel Is Sure To Be A Smash Success With Young Adult Readers Across The World.

This Week I Chose The Ifernal Devices Trilogy by Cassandra Clare

Book 1 - The Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices, Book 1)by Cassandra Clare
Book 2 - The Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices, Book 2)by Cassandra Clare
Book 3 - The Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices, Book 3)by Cassandra Clare

Synopsis

The Infernal Devices is a trilogy of prequels to the bestselling Mortal Instruments series. While The Mortal Instruments is set largely in present-day Manhattan, The Infernal Devices takes us back one hundred and forty years to the heart of Victorian England, exploring an earlier era in the history of the Shadowhunters — a time before the Accords, when Downworlder and Shadowhunters were at each other's throats. A time when orphaned teenager Tessa discovers she isn't human after all, but a warlock, capable of changing her shape to resemble anyone she desires to be. Tessa must use her power to descend into London's supernatural Downworld, where vampires stalk the gaslit streets of London, werewolves slink in the shadowy lanes of Whitechapel, and warlocks hold masquerade balls for demons and Downworlders in opium-smoke-filled ballrooms. But living in Downworld isn't simple — Tessa has to learn to trust her natural enemies, the demon-killing Shadowhunters, if she ever wants to control her powers and find her brother. Torn between the darkly gorgeous and devoted Will, a Shadowhunter hiding a deadly secret, and the brooding Jem, whose addiction to a demon drug is slowly destroying him, Tessa must draw on all her strength to save her brother and keep herself alive in this deadly new world.

New Release: Immortal by Gillian Shields

2009-08-04T18:50:00.000-07:00

Today Is The Release Day Of Immortal by Gillian Shields

Synopsis

Wyldcliffe Abbey School for Young Ladies, housed in a Gothic mansion on the bleak northern moors, is elite, expensive, and unwelcoming. When Evie Johnson is torn away from her home by the sea to become the newest scholarship student, she is more isolated than she could have dreamed. Strict teachers, snobbish students, and the oppressive atmosphere of Wyldcliffe leave Evie drowning in loneliness.

Evie's only lifeline is Sebastian, a rebellious, mocking, dangerously attractive young man she meets by chance. As Evie's feelings for Sebastian grow with each secret meeting, she starts to fear that he is hiding something about his past. And she is haunted by glimpses of a strange, ghostly girl—a girl who is so eerily like Evie, she could be a sister. Evie is slowly drawn into a tangled web of past and present that she cannot control. And as the extraordinary, elemental forces of Wyldcliffe rise up like the mighty sea, Evie is faced with an astounding truth about Sebastian, and her own incredible fate.

Gillian Shields's electrifying tale will dazzle readers with suspense, mysticism, and romance.

Blue Moon by Alyson Noel

2009-08-04T12:53:00.000-07:00

Synopsis

Eager to learn everything she can about her new abilities as an Immortal, Ever turns to her beloved Damen to show her the way. But just as her powers are increasing, Damen’s are waning.

In an attempt to save him, Ever travels to the magical dimension of Summerland, where she learns the secrets of Damen’s tortured past; a past which he has always kept hidden from her. But in her quest to cure Damen, Ever discovers an ancient text that details the workings of time. Now Ever must choose between turning back the past and saving her family from the accident that claimed their lives—or staying in the present and saving Damen, who grows sicker every day...

My Review

This Book Isn't At All What I Expected. This Book Is Really Different From Evermore. I Was Blown Away And Left Breathless After The Emotional Rollercoaster I Went Through While Reading This Book. At First, Ever And Damen Have This Amazing Relationship That Leaves You Craving For One. Then, Out Of Nowhere, Noel Makes A 180 So Fast I Dropped Out Of The Seat I Was Sitting In And Fell Flat On the Floor. The Writing Is Very Fast- Paced. Before I Knew What Happened I Was At The Ending, And VERY Confused. I Understand What Noel Is Trying To Express In The Plot Of This Story But I was Truly Stuck On Stupid For The Most Part. Eventually, The Book Came Around-Not Full Circle, But Interestingly So. Towards The Ending, You Get Hit With Mostly All The Info You Were Missing And It Suddenly All Makes Sense. This Book Does Have Some Similarities With Other YA Book Series Out There But Is Not By Any Means The Same. I Believe You Should Read This Book And Decide For Yourself What You Believe! I Will Definately Read The Follow-Up Book Shadowland, Because Noel Truly Knows How To Rip The Carpet Out From Underneath Your Feet!

First Is Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink

Synopsis

An ancient prophecy divides two sisters-

One good...

One evil...

Who will prevail?

Twin sisters Lia and Alice Milthorpe have just become orphans. They have also become enemies. As they discover their roles in a prophecy that has turned generations of sisters against each other, the girls find themselves entangled in a mystery that involves a tattoo-like mark, their parents' deaths, a boy, a book, and a lifetime of secrets.

Lia and Alice don't know whom they can trust.

They just know they can't trust each other.

Next Book Up Is Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

Synopsis

The Cold.

The Heat.

The Shiver.

For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf--her wolf--is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human . . . until the cold makes him shift back again.

Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human--or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.

This Week's Book Is Tempted (House of Night Series #6) by P. C. Cast And Kristin Cast

Synopsis

So…you’d think after banishing an immortal being and a fallen High Priestess, saving Stark’s life, biting Heath, getting a headache from Erik, and almost dying, Zoey Redbird would catch a break. Sadly, a break is not in the House of Night school forecast for the High Priestess in training and her gang. Juggling three guys is anything but a stress reliever, especially when one of them is a sexy Warrior who is so into protecting Zoey that he can sense her emotions. Speaking of stress, the dark force lurking in the tunnels under the Tulsa Depot is spreading, and Zoey is beginning to believe Stevie Rae could be responsible for a lot more than a group of misfit red fledglings. Aphrodite’s visions warn Zoey to stay away from Kalona and his dark allure, but they also show that it is Zoey who has the power to stop the evil immortal. Soon it becomes obvious that Zoey has no choice: if she doesn’t go to Kalona he will exact a fiery vengeance on those closest to her. Will Zoey have the courage to chance losing her life, her heart, and her soul? Find out in the next spectacular installment in the House of Night Series, Tempted.

2009-07-27T06:16:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow A New Series About Vampires Will Make It's Debut. The Book Is Called Bite Me! by Melissa Francis.

Synopsis

AJ Ashe isn’t your typical seventeen-year-old vampire—as if there is such a thing. Her ex-boyfriend—whom she’s still totally in love with—is now her stepbrother. A former classmate—who, um, she may or may not have turned into a vampire—is stalking her. And now, apparently, the fate of humankind lies in her little undead hands. Whatever happened to the good old days when all a vampire girl had to worry about was the occasional zit and hiding her taste for blood?

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

2009-07-25T13:49:00.000-07:00

Synopsis

The Cold.

The Heat.

The Shiver.

For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf--her wolf--is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human . . . until the cold makes him shift back again.

Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human--or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.

My Review:

I Absolutely Hate Comparing This Book To Another, But I Haven't Read An Agonizingly Sad Love Story This Good Since Twilight. It Has Nothing To Do With Being Like Twilight, It Just Makes You Feel The Emotions, Again. I Am Still Shaking and Shivering From The Amazement That Is Shiver. From The Moment You Open This Book You're Instantly Swept Up Into This Amazing Love That's Impossible For You Not To Feel Yourself. The Longing, The Sadness. It's All There And Very Clear. Maggie Has A Wonderful Ability Of Writing In Such Amazing Detail, From the Emotions In One's Eyes To Their Body Language. You Will Feel The Emotions In This Book. I Truly Cried On More Than One Occasion. I Found Myself Floating And Tingling Every Time I Stopped Reading For A Moment. And When I Was All finished It Took Me Nearly 2 Hours To Snap Out Of The Fog. Sam And Grace Are Amazing Characters Who Have Not So Perfect Lives. They Overcome Their Pain With The Love They Have For Each Other. I Also Love That This Book Is Told In Both Sam And Grace's Point Of View. There Are Little Secrets And Lyrics Hidden In The Pages Of Shiver. The Other Characters In This Book Tie-In In Very Surprising Ways. This Book Will Leave You Satisfied But Craving The Next Installment. Although, The Book Is Entitled Shiver, It's Very Hot and Heavy In An Amazing Way. Twilight Can Reign Over The Vampire World, But Shiver Just Won Wolf Kingdom!! I Highly Recommend This Book!

Something About Necks...

2009-07-24T17:13:00.001-07:00

So, I Was Looking At My Stack Of Books When I Noticed A Lot Of Them Are Just An Amazing Photograph Or Drawing Of A Neck.

1. Chosen by PC + Kristin Cast

2. Dance With A Vampire by Ellen Schrieber

3. Blood Promise by Richelle Mead

4. Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz

So The First Four Up Are About Vampires. So It Makes Sense That It Would Be A Shot Of A Neck. I Have To Say Blood Promise And Dance With A Vampire Are All Pretty Good.

6. Need by Carrie Jones

This One Is Of Fairies. I Have To Say Of All The Covers. Need Is My Favorite. It Seems More Sensual And It Looks Like She's Sighing. I Can Feel The Real Desperation And NEED, Just By Looking At This Book.

What Do You Think?

What Do You Look For In A Book Cover?

So I Took My LapTop To Best Buy For Them To Tell Me Nothing Was Wrong With My Computer. That The Internet Connection Is What Had To Be Wrong. So, I Called My Cable Company And They Said I Had To Wait Two Days For The Cable Guy To Come Out. This Time I Actually Got A Girl. She Zapped My Modem, And Viola! I'm Back! That Guy Really Burned A Fire Under Me. He Truly Said Nothing's Wrong With The Modem.. When It Was What Crashed. What A Butt! LOL! Anyways, During My Hell Week, I Managed To Venture Off To The Book Store To Try And Stay Sane...

I Heart You, You Haunt Me by Lisa Schroeder

2009-07-17T15:37:00.000-07:00

Synopsis

Girl meets boy.

Girl loses boy.

Girl gets boy back...

...sort of.

Ava can't see him or touch him, unless she's dreaming. She can't hear hisvoice, except for the faint whispers in her mind. Most would think she'scrazy, but she knows he's here.

Jackson. The boy Ava thought she'd spend the rest of her life with. He's back from the dead, as proof that love truly knows no bounds.

RagDollVampGirl's Review

This Book Was Breath-Takingly Beautiful. Jackson Seemed So Much More Realistic Than Other Ghosts I've Read About. I Love The Fact That He Communicates Through The Radio. Ava Seemed Fragmented And Pushing The Pieces Back Together. The Flashbacks, The Music, The Scent And The Cool Air Left Me Questioning Ava's Sanity.. But The Book Comes Together Amazingly And Leaves You With Joyful Tears.. This Book Is Perfect For Anyone Grieving, Saddened By A Loss, Either By Love Or Death. It's Written In Verse And Is A Very Quick Read.. I Highly Recommend This Book!! I Can't Wait To Read More By Lisa Schroeder..

Wishlist Wednesday (Zombie Edition)

2009-07-15T13:53:00.000-07:00

Today's Wishlist Consist Of Two Zombie Books I Can't Wait For!!

First Up, Never Slow Dance With A Zombie by E. Van Lowe

Synopsis (From Amazon)

Principal Taft's 3 Simple Rules for Surviving a Zombie Uprising:

Rule #1: While in the halls, walk slowly and wear a vacant expression on your face. Zombies won't attack other zombies.

Rule #2: Never travel alone. Move in packs. Follow the crowd. Zombies detest blatant displays of individuality.

Rule #3: If a zombie should attack, do not run. Instead, throw raw steak at to him. Zombies love raw meat. This display of kindness will go a long way.

On the night of her middle school graduation, Margot Jean Johnson wrote a high school manifesto detailing her goals for what she was sure would be a most excellent high school career. She and her best friend, Sybil, would be popular and, most important, have boyfriends. Three years later, they haven't accomplished a thing!

Then Margot and Sybil arrive at school one day to find that most of the student body has been turned into flesh-eating zombies. When kooky Principal Taft asks the girls to coexist with the zombies until the end of the semester, they realize that this is the perfect opportunity to live out their high school dreams. All they have to do is stay alive....

Second Book Up Is, I Kissed A Zombie, And I Liked It by Adam Selzer

Synopsis (From Amazon)

Algonquin “Ali” Rhodes, the high school newspaper’s music critic, meets an intriguing singer, Doug, while reviewing a gig. He’s a weird-looking guy—goth, but he seems sincere about it, like maybe he was into it back before it was cool. She introduces herself after the set, asking if he lives in Cornersville, and he replies, in his slow, quiet murmur, “Well, I don’t really live there, exactly. . . .”

When Ali and Doug start dating, Ali is falling so hard she doesn’t notice a few odd signs: he never changes clothes, his head is a funny shape, and he says practically nothing out loud. Finally Marie, the school paper’s fashion editor, points out the obvious: Doug isn’t just a really sincere goth. He’s a zombie. Horrified that her feelings could have allowed her to overlook such a flaw, Ali breaks up with Doug, but learns that zombies are awfully hard to get rid of—at the same time she learns that vampires, a group as tightly-knit as the mafia, don’t think much of music critics who make fun of vampires in reviews. . . .

What I've Recieved And Review..

2009-07-12T09:43:00.000-07:00

This Week I Only Got One Book Which Was The Treasure Map of Boys: Noel, Jackson, Finn, Hutch--and me, Ruby Oliver (Ruby Oliver, Book 3) by E. Lockhart

Synopsis

Ruby is back at Tate Prep, and it’s her thirty-seventh week in the state of Noboyfriend. Her panic attacks are bad, her love life is even worse, and what’s more:

Noel is writing her notes, Jackson is giving her frogs, Gideon is helping her cook, and Finn is making her brownies. Rumors are flying, and Ruby’s already-sucky reputation is heading downhill.

Not only that, she’s also: running a bake sale, learning the secrets of heavymetal therapy, encountering some seriously smelly feet, defending the rights of pygmy goats, and bodyguarding Noel from unwanted advances.

In this companion novel to The Boyfriend List and The Boy Book, Ruby struggles to secure some sort of mental health, to understand what constitutes a real friendship, and to find true love—if such a thing exists.

RagDollVampGirl's Quick Review

Ruby Oliver Is The Epitomy Of A Teenager! I Love How She Doubts Herself, And Is Super Guilty When She Makes A Desicion. It Reminds Me Of Of Me Alot. I Actually Had To Go To Therapy, Too. I Love This Book, It's Simply Sweet. I Also Love How It Seems To Be Half Ruby's Story And Half Ruby's Journal. I Read this Book In One Day. This Is A Quick, Funny, And Light Read.

Heavenly by Jennifer Laurens

2009-07-07T19:04:00.000-07:00

Synopsis

I met someone who changed everything. Matthias. My autistic sister's guardian angel. Honest. Inspiring. Funny. Hot. And immortal. That was the problem. What could I do? I did what any other girl would do-I fell in love with him. Zoe's sister darts in front of cars. Her brother's a pothead. Her parents are so overwhelmed; they don't see Zoe lost in her broken life. Zoe escapes the only way she knows how: partying. Matthias, a guardian sent from Heaven, watches over Zoe's autistic sister. After Zoe is convinced he's legit, angel and lost girl come together in a love that changes destiny. But Heaven on Earth can't last forever.

RagDollVampGirl's Review

Zoe Is Dealing With A Lot At Home. Her Brother Struggles With An Addiction And Her Parents Seem To Only Care About One Thing: Her Autistic Little Sister. Sometimes, All Zoe Can Do Is Turn To Alcohol Just To Feel Something...

Wow!! This Book Was Amazing. Although I Found It A Little Hard To Click With Zoe I Totally Loved This Book.. I Was A Little Frustrated At How Zoe Would React To Certain Situations. Like She Couldn't Handle An Argument With Her Family But Finds Out About Angels And Seems To Take The News As Easy As Pie. Sometimes I Felt Like I was Reading About A 15 Year-Old Instead Of An 18 Year-Old. But, She Is A Teenager. That I Understand. I Believe Matthias' Character Was Well Put. I Like The Idea Of Him Being From The Early 1900's And Jennifer Really Made Sure He Fit The Role, From What He Wore To How He Spoke. Abria Was Certainly Fun To Read About In The Sense That As I Was Reading This Book I Could Picture The Flapping And The Wide Eyes. This Book Truly Is Amazing And Highly Unpredictable. The Whole Time I Was Reading I Was Unsure What Was Going To Happen Next. Jennifer Threw Some Pretty Wicked Curve Balls In That Left Me On The Edge Of My Seat. All In All, I Really Enjoyed This Book. The Ending Blind-Sided Me!! I Was Not Expecting It At All. So, I Am Very Happy To Hear That There Will Be A Sequel And I'm Ecstatic To Read It.

I HIGHLY Recommend This Book.

RATING - 5/5

So This Wednesday I Was Going To Post My Wednesday Wishlist About Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver But Then I Got A Copy In The Mail!! I Had An Idea About 3 Books That I'm Dying To Read And Decided To Put Them All In One Post... These Books Are Scheduled To Be Released Between December, 2009 And August, 2010.

The First Book Up Is The Dark Divine by Bree Despain

Synopsis (From Goodreads)

A prodigal son

A dangerous love

A deadly secret . . .

I stood back and watched his movements. Daniel had that way about him that could shut me down in an instant. . . . I kicked the gravel a couple of times and worked up my courage again. “Tell me . . . I mean . . . why did you come back? Why now, after all this time?”

Grace Divine, daughter of the local pastor, always knew something terrible happened the night Daniel Kalbi disappeared—the night she found her brother Jude collapsed on the porch, covered in blood. But she has no idea what a truly monstrous secret that night really held. And when Daniel returns three years later, Grace can no longer deny her attraction to him, despite promising Jude she’ll stay away.

As Grace gets closer to Daniel, her actions stir the ancient evil Daniel unleashed that horrific night. Grace must discover the truth behind Jude and Daniel's dark secret . . . and the cure that can save the ones she loves. But she may have to lay down the ultimate sacrifice to do it—her soul.

Release Date - 12/22/2009

Next Up, The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting

Synopsis (From Goodreads)

Violet Ambrose is grappling with two major issues: Jay Heaton and her morbid secret ability. While the sixteen-year-old is confused by her new feelings for her best friend since childhood, she is more disturbed by her “power” to sense dead bodies—or at least those that have been murdered. Since she was a little girl, she has felt the echoes the dead leave behind in the world . . . and the imprints that attach to their killers.

Violet has never considered her strange talent to be a gift; it mostly just led her to find dead birds her cat had tired of playing with. But now that a serial killer has begun terrorizing her small town, and the echoes of the local girls he’s claimed haunt her daily, she realizes she might be the only person who can stop him.

Despite his fierce protectiveness over her, Jay reluctantly agrees to help Violet on her quest to find the murderer—and Violet is unnerved to find herself hoping that Jay’s intentions are much more than friendly. But even as she’s falling intensely in love, Violet is getting closer and closer to discovering a killer . . . and becoming his prey herself.

And Last But Definately Not Least, Sea by Heidi R. Kling

Synopsis (From Goodreads)

Haunted by recurring nightmares since her mother’s disappearance over the Indian ocean three years before, fifteen-year old California girl Sienna Jones reluctantly travels with her psychiatrist father’s volunteer team to six-months post-tsunami Indonesia where she meets the scarred and soulful orphaned boy, Deni, who is more like Sea than anyone she has ever met.

She knows they can’t be together, so why can’t she stay away from him? And what about her old best friend-turned-suddenly-hot Spider who may or may not be waiting for her back home? And why won’t her dad tell her the truth about her mother’s plane crash? The farther she gets from home, the closer she comes to finding answers.

And Sea’s real adventure begins.

First Up Is Ghost Girl: Homecoming by Tonya Hurley To Be Released Tommorrow July 1, 2009

Synopsis

Heaven couldn't be a phone bank, could it?

Charlotte Usher discovers that the afterlife isn't quite what she pictured when she's forced to intern at a hotline for troubled teens. Before she can officially cross over, she'll have to be a source of guidance for one such teen. The problem is she doesn't have much advice to offer since dying hasn't exactly boosted her confidence level.

But when Hawthorne High's leading, love-to-hate cheerleader Petula and her gothic little sis' Scarlet find themselves suddenly resting-in-peace in comas, Charlotte's opportunity to save them will prove to be the risk of a lifetime-for all of them.

Next Up Are 3 Books Scheduled To Be Released July 7, 2009

The Long Awaited Debut Novel Eyes Like Stars: All Her World's A Stage by Lisa Mantchev

Synopsis

Seventeen-year-old Beatrice (Bertie) Shakespeare Smith has spent her whole life within the walls of the Theatre Illuminata, a majestic and magical playhouse with thousands of players at the ready. Bertie was a foundling, discovered at the theater door, but management has now wearied of harboring the irreverent, unrestrained, occasionally downright destructive young woman she has become. She must prove-in four days-that she can make an invaluable contribution to the theater or be forever banished. Mantchev seamlessly blends the richly wrought, claustrophobic world of the tradition-bound theater and its age-old dramatic productions with a decidedly modern sensibility. The result is electric. The delicious descriptions of the theater's strange powers are fascinating, the characters vivid, the dialogue smart and sassy and Bertie's fiercely loyal fairy cohorts from A Midsummer Night's Dream bawdy and hilarious. Clever mini-scripts, usually flashbacks, materialize throughout the novel like songs in a musical. The palpable sense of urgency is also fueled by some well-staged romance, as well as by Bertie's quest to discover who she is and what she's made of. Brava! Encore!

A Book That I've Been Waiting For Is Crash Into Me by Albert Borris

Synopsis

Owen, Frank, Audrey, and Jin-Ae have one thing in common: they all want to die. When they meet online after each attempts suicide and fails, the four teens make a deadly pact: they will escape together on a summer road trip to visit the sites of celebrity suicides...and at their final destination, they will all end their lives. As they drive cross-country, bonding over their dark impulses, sharing their deepest secrets and desires, living it up, hooking up, and becoming true friends, each must decide whether life is worth living--or if there's no turning back.

Invisible Touch by Kelly Parra

2009-06-29T06:33:00.000-07:00

Synopsis

Kara Martinez has been trying to be "normal" ever since the accident that took her father's life when she was eleven years old. She's buried the caliente side of her Mexican heritage with her father and tried to be the girl her rigid mother wants her to be — compliant and dressed in pink, and certainly not acting out like her older brother Jason. Not even Danielle, her best friend at Valdez High, has seen the real Kara; only those who read her anonymous blog know the deepest secrets of the Sign Seer.

Because Kara has a gift — one that often feels like a curse. She sees signs, visions that are clues to a person's fate, if she can put together the pieces of the puzzle in time. So far, she's been able to solve the clues and avert disaster for those she's been warned about — until she sees the flash of a gun on a fellow classmate, and the stakes are raised higher than ever before. Kara does her best to follow the signs, but it's her heart that wanders into new territory when she falls for a mysterious guy from the wrong side of town, taking her closer to answers she may not be able to handle. Will her forbidden romance help her solve the deadly puzzle before it's too late...or lead her even further into danger?

RagDollVampGirl's Review

I Love This Book... I Had No Idea It Would Be So Good.. KAra Has A Gift.. She Can See Signs And It 's Not Neccessarly Having A Vision Or Seeing The Future..

Kara Has Gone Through So Much That I Can Actually Relate To, Such As Having A Terrible Relationship With Her Mom... And The Fear Of being Branded Crazy!! I've Been Through A Lot, Too... When Anthony Was Introduced In The Book I Immediately Fell For Him... The Moment Kara Went To See Him At His Job And He Surprised Her With A Kiss I Was Ecstatic... I Have A Thing For Bad Boys.. What Can I Say?? The Way He Seemed So Tough But Treated Kara As If She Was So Fragile... He was Just Such A Perfect Guy... Even If He Is From The West Side...Kara's Best Friend Had Been Hiding Secrets But I Never Guessed The Outcome... I Actually Cried When She Told Kara The Truth... I Loved How Even Though She Saw Images Of The Future She Still Had To Figure Things Out With Her Family And Friends...This Book To Me Is A Triumph.. I Am Latina, Full-Fledged Puerto Rican, But My Skin Is Light As Well As My Eyes... And I Dealt With A Lot Of Negativity Towards Me Because Of It... People Would Say I Was Mixed With Something.. But I'm Not... And Even Though Kara Is Half-Mexican And Half-Irish, The Way She Stood Up For Herself And Walked The West Side Or Stared Down Josie At The Party I Was Proud... The Ending Of This Book Had Me Screaming, Whopping!!, And Crying My Eyes Out... It Was Not At All What I Expected...It's A Real Roller-Coaster Ride...

Tenth Grade Bleeds by Heather Brewer

Synopsis

It's another sucky year at Bathory High for Vladimir Tod. The evil vampire D'Ablo is hunting for the ritual that could steal Vlad's powers. His best friend Henry doesn't want to be his drudge anymore. And as if all that weren't enough, it's getting harder for Vlad to resist feeding on the people around him. When months go by with no word from Uncle Otis and D'Ablo shows up demanding Vlad's father's journal, Vlad realizes that having a normal high school year is the least of his concerns. Vlad needs to act fast, and even his status as the Pravus won't save him this time . . .

You Are So Undead To Me by Stacey Jay

2009-06-22T13:43:00.000-07:00

I Decided To Read This Book Because It's On Penguin's Darken Your Summer Days List...

Synopsis

Fifteen-year-old Megan Berry is a Zombie Settler by birth, which means she's part-time shrink to a bunch of dead people with a whole lot of issues.

All Megan wants is to be normal—and go to homecoming, of course. Unfortunately, it's a little difficult when your dates keep getting interrupted by a bunch of slobbering Undead.

Things are about to get even more complicated for Megan. Someone in school is using black magic to turn average, angsty Undead into flesh-eating Zombies, and it's looking like homecoming will turn out to be a very different kind of party—the bloody kind.

Megan must stop the Zombie apocalypse descending on Carol, Arkansas. Her life—and more importantly, homecoming—depends on it.

RagDollVampGirl's Review

Stacey Jay Has Created A Very Original Piece Of Work With This Book...I Was Shocked At the Idea Of Settlers And Having To Put The Undead To Rest. It Was Something I've Never Heard Of. And I Immediately Loved The Idea. Megan Is Very Likable From The First Page.. Although, The Prologue Of This Book Scared The Crap Out Of Me And Then The First Chapter Confused Me.. Megan Experienced A Terrible Attack At The Age Of 10 Which Caused Her To Forget Most Of The Settler World.. Kind Of Like A Form Of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder... I Found It To Be A Little Strange How She Couldn't Remember Her Best Friend But Realizing He Was A Big Part In Her Settler World Made It Clear Why.. But Once Megan's Memory Began Unraveling So Did The Book... In A Good Way... This Book Is Witty, Funny, Cute And Has Enough Zombies To Keep You Hooked.. This Book Quickly Grows And Opens In Ways You Wouldn't Expect... It's Not A Predictable Book, Which I Love.. Because I Hate Guessing The Ending And Finding Out I Was Right... I Especially Love The Title And The Cover... I Remember Waiting In Line To Buy It And Thinking I'd Love To Wear A Pair Of Shorts Like That... Yea, Right?? LOL!!

The Hollow

This Week's Book I'm Dying To Read Is "The Hollow by Jessica Verday"

Synopsis

When Abbey's best friend, Kristen, vanishes at the bridge near Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, everyone else is all too quick to accept that Kristen is dead?and rumors fly that her death was no accident. Abbey goes through the motions of mourning her best friend, but privately, she refuses to believe that Kristen is really gone. Then she meets Caspian, the gorgeous and mysterious boy who shows up out of nowhere at Kristen's funeral, and keeps reappearing in Abbey's life. Caspian clearly has secrets of his own, but he's the only person who makes Abbey feel normal again...but also special.

Just when Abbey starts to feel that she might survive all this, she learns a secret that makes her question everything she thought she knew about her best friend. How could Kristen have kept silent about so much? And could this secret have led to her death? As Abbey struggles to understand Kristen's betrayal, she uncovers a frightening truth that nearly unravels her—one that will challenge her emerging love for Caspian, as well as her own sanity.

The Following Three Books Are All Scheduled To Be Released On June 23, 2009...

First Up Is "Fairytale by Cyn Balog"

Synopsis

A captivating and witty dark fantasy that will have girls lusting after it.

Morgan Sparks has always known that she and her boyfriend, Cam, are made for each other. But when Cam’s cousin Pip comes to stay with the family, Cam seems depressed. Finally Cam confesses to Morgan what’s going on: Cam is a fairy. The night he was born, fairies came down and switched him with a healthy human boy. Nobody expected Cam to live, and nobody expected his biological brother, heir to the fairy throne, to die. But both things happened, and now the fairies want Cam back to take his rightful place as Fairy King.

Even as Cam physically changes, becoming more miserable each day, he and Morgan pledge to fool the fairies and stay together forever. But by the time Cam has to decide once and for all what to do, Morgan’s no longer sure what’s best for everyone, or whether her and Cam’s love can weather an uncertain future.

The Next Book Is "Nothing But Ghosts by Beth Kephart"

Synopsis

Ever since her mother passed away, Katie's been alone in her too-big house with her genius dad, who restores old paintings for a living. Katie takes a summer job at a garden estate, where, with the help of two brothers and a glamorous librarian, she soon becomes embroiled in decoding a mystery. There are secrets and shadows at the heart of Nothing but Ghosts: symbols hidden in a time-darkened painting, and surprises behind a locked bedroom door. But most of all, this is a love story—the story of a girl who learns about love while also learning to live with her own ghosts.

The Last Book Up Is "Alyzon Whitestarr by Isobelle Carmody"

Synopsis

Are Alyzon’s new abilities a blessing . . . or a curse?

Alyzon Whitestarr doesn't take after her musically talented father or her nocturnal, artistic mother. In fact, she’s the most normal member of a very eccentric family . . . until the day that an accident leaves her more unique than she ever could have dreamed.

Suddenly colors are more vibrant to Alyzon; her memory is flawless; but strangest of all is Alyzon’s sense of smell. Her best friend smells of a comforting sea breeze. She registers her father’s contentment as the sweet scent of caramelized sugar. But why does the cutest guy in school smell so rancid?

With Alyzon’s extrasensory perception comes intrigue and danger, as she becomes aware of the dark secrets and hidden ambitions that threaten her family. In the end, being different might be less of a blessing than a curse. . . .

Generation Dead by Daniel Waters

2009-06-13T08:54:00.001-07:00

Review Of Generation Dead

Synopsis

Phoebe is just your typical goth girl with a crush. He's strong and silent.and dead.

All over the country, a strange phenomenon is happening. Some teenagers who die aren't staying dead. They are coming back to life, but they are no longer the same-they stutter, and their reactions to everything are slower. Termed "living impaired" or "differently biotic," they are doing their best to fit into a society that doesn't want them.

Fitting in is hard enough when you don't have the look or attitude, but when almost everyone else is alive and you're not, it's close to impossible. The kids at Oakvale High don't want to take classes or eat in the cafeteria next to someone who isn't breathing. And there are no laws that exist to protect the differently biotic from the people who want them to disappear-for good.

With her pale skin and Goth wardrobe, Phoebe has never run with the popular crowd. But no one can believe it when she falls for Tommy Williams, the leader of the dead kids. Not her best friend, Margi, whose fear of the differently biotic is deeply rooted in guilt over the past. And especially not her neighbor, Adam, the star of the football team. Adam has just realized his feelings for Phoebe run much deeper than just friendship. He would do anything for her, but what if protecting Tommy is the one thing that would make her happy?

RagDollVampGirl's Review
When I First Picked Up This Book I Was A Little Perplexed. Zombies Living Among Us?? Trying To Fit Into Society?? Once I Began Reading This Book I Was Astounded And Very Amazed At The Brilliance That Is Daniel Water's Wonderful Creativity. These Zombies Seemed So Much Real Than The Ones In Those Gory Flicks. You Know The Ones That Eat Your Brains. I Never Understood How It Was So Hard For Them To Walk But They Could Easily Attack And Kill You!! Daniel Water's Version Is Much More Realistic In The Sense That He Makes It More Believable. Each Chapter Of This Facinating Book Brings More About More Intrigue. I Could Not Stop Reading This Book. I Was Dying To Know What Was Going To Happen Next. I Love That He Wrote The Book From Different Point Of Views Rather Than Just From One Person's View. I Fell Absolutely Head Over Heels For Tommy. Does That Make Me A Necro?? LOL!! I Actually Cried More Than Once In This Book!! It's Happy And Sad And A Very Good Read. I've Never Been One To Like Zombies But This Book Changed My Mind. So Long As They're Daniel's Version!! I Also Must Add That I Am Waiting For The Sequel To Come In The Mail. Could Zombies Be My New Obsession??

So Here It Is!!! The Book That Started My Vampire Obsession!! (Besides Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Of Course!!!)

"In The Forests Of The Night by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes"

Synopsis

I was born to the name of Rachel Weatere in the year 1684, more than three hundred years ago.

The one who changed me named me Risika, and Risika I became, though I never asked what it meant. I continue to call myself Risika, even though I was transformed into what I am against my will.

By day, Risika sleeps in a shaded room in Concord, Massachusettts. By night, she hunts the streets of New York City. She is used to being alone.

But now someone is following Risika. Someone has left her a black rose, the same sort of rose that sealed her fate three hundred years ago.

Three hundred years ago Risika had a family — a brother and a sister who loved her. Three hundred years ago she was human.

Now she is a vampire, a powerful one. And her past has come back to torment her.

RagDollVampGirl
I Read this Book When I Was 11. This Book Changed Everything For Me... I Always Thought Of Vampires As Crazy Bloodthirsty Fiends. Such As, The One's On Buffy. But After Reading This Book I Wanted To Become A Vampire!!! The Best Part To Me Was When I Found Out Amelia Was Only 14 When She Wrote This Book!!! AMAZING!! Read, Read, Read This Book!!

In 2009, The Cover-Reprint Version Was Released. I Personally Like The Old Version...

This Week's Book On My Wishlist Is "Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick"

Synopsis:

Falling in love was never so easy . . .

or so deadly.

For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment.

But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.

For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.

Evernight by Claudia Gray

2009-06-08T09:37:00.000-07:00

Synopsis:

Bianca wants to escape.

She's been uprooted from her small hometown and enrolled at Evernight Academy, an eerie Gothic boarding school where the students are somehow too perfect: smart, sleek, and almost predatory. Bianca knows she doesn't fit in.

Then she meets Lucas. He's not the "Evernight type" either, and he likes it that way. Lucas ignores the rules, stands up to the snobs, and warns Bianca to be careful—even when it comes to caring about him.

"I couldn't stand it if they took it out on you," he tells Bianca, "and eventually they would."

But the connection between Bianca and Lucas can't be denied. Bianca will risk anything to be with Lucas, but dark secrets are fated to tear them apart . . . and to make Bianca question everything she's ever believed.

RagDollVampGirl's Review
I Am Absolutely In Shock Over Claudia Gray's Debut Novel. Evernight Is The First Book In A Four Part Series. And I Am Dying To Read Stargazer Already. I Love That The Book Starts With Bianca Trying To Run Away. I Found It Funny When Lucas Chased Her Down "Trying To Save Her" As The Book Begins, You Suddenly Realize That Evernight Academy Holds Lots Of Secrets. These Secrets Just May End Up Tearinf Lucas And Bianca Apart. Once The Secrets Begin To Slip Out, The Book Picks Up Massive Speed, And Before You Know It, You're At The Conclusion. Although I Found The Book To Be A Major Cliff-Hanger, It Still Has A Lot Of Originality To It. I Thought This Book Would Be Like Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy. But It's Not.

Flashback Friday

2009-06-05T05:40:00.000-07:00

On Fridays I'm Going To Be Posting Books That I've Read In The Past. These Will Be Books I Enjoyed And Highly Recommend!!

My First Flashback Book Is America by E.R. Frank.

Synopsis

You try not to think. You try not to imagine, but then those cracks pop up, and these flashes squeeze right through. At first, some of it's not too bad, and you get stupid, maybe even wanting a little more, but then you pull yourself together, knowing what all is likely going to ooze out if you're not careful....

Fifteen-year-old America has been nowhere, has been nobody. Separated from his foster mother. A runaway. A patient. Without love. Without hope. And, eventually, without the will to live.

Until Dr. B. steps in. To listen. To explore. And to find within America both the story and the boy who are lost.

RagDollVampGirl
This Book Blew Me Away. I Was Only 13 When I Read This Book. It Shows The Endurance Of A Young Boy Growing Up. This Book Deals With Child Abuse, Disturbing Behavior, And America's Journey From Being Lost In This World And Lost In Himself. If You've Read Cut by Patricia McCormick Then This Is A Book You've Got To Read...

On February 28, 2009, A Film Adaptation Of America Was Given On Lifetime. The Film Is A Little Different From The Book, But They Always Change Things When Making A Film. Nonetheless, I Guarantee Before The Credits Roll You'll Have Shed A Tear Or Two...

I Hope You Enjoy My Flashback Friday. I Can't Wait To Share More With You...

Vampire Kisses: The Beginning

2009-06-04T13:15:00.000-07:00

Synopsis:

A new guy in town.
Rumors of vampires.
Dangerous first love.
This is where it all begins. . . .

The mansion on top of Benson Hill has stood empty for years. But one day it seems to be occupied, and its mysterious, handsome inhabitant Alexander Sterling becomes the source of much talk around town. Raven, a vampire-obsessed Goth-girl who has always considered herself an outsider in "Dullsville," is determined to uncover the truth surrounding the secretive Alexander. As she gets to know him, and their spark intensifies, Raven finds herself in some unanticipated situations. Can Alexander make her lifelong dream come true? But love always has its complications—especially when it can only be awakened at nightfall.

The first three books in Ellen Schreiber's bestselling Vampire Kisses series capture the thrill of a most unusual romance.

RagDollVampGirl's Review
I First Started Reading The Vampire Kisses Series After I Read The Vampire Diaries Series. I Was Craving More Vampires And I Had Heard About These Books. So I Purchased The Vampire Kisses: The Beginning Box Set. I've Said It Before I Love Vampire Books. These Are More Light, Cute And Funny Compared To Other Vamp Series. I Actually Loved Raven Madison. Although, I Am Not Goth I Absolutely Love Her To Death. In Vampire Kisses, Raven Is Almost Immature In Her Desire To Become A Vampire. But Instead Of Her Being Cheesy, She's Very Eccentric. By The Vampireville Book, She Shows A Lot Of Maturity. I Also Love Alexander Sterling. Who Doesn't? I Love That He Seems Wise And Very Protective Of This Awkward But Brave Girl. If You Love The Chronicles Of Vladimir Tod You'll Love The Vampire Kisses Series.

Wishlist Wednesday

2009-06-03T05:38:00.001-07:00

Every Wednesday I Will Be Posting A Book That I am DYING To Read. First Up Is "Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margararet Stohl" Because This Is One Of The Top Three I'm Want To Sink My Teeth Into So Bad.

Synosis:

There were no surprises in Gatlin County.
We were pretty much the epicenter of the middle of nowhere.
At least, that's what I thought.
Turns out, I couldn't have been more wrong.
There was a curse.
There was a girl.
And in the end, there was a grave.

Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.

Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.

In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.

I Can't Wait For This One!!
Beautiful Creatures Is Scheduled To Be Released In 2010.

The Chronicles Of Vladimir Tod: Eigth Grade Bites by Heather Brewer

2009-06-01T04:37:00.000-07:00

Today I Am Reviewing A Book by An Author Who Definately Made An Impression On Me!! Heather Brewer's "Eigth Grade Bites"

Synopsis:

Junior high really sucks for thirteen-year-old Vladimir Tod. Bullies harass him, the principal is dogging him, and the girl he likes prefers his best friend. Oh, and Vlad has a secret: his mother was human, but his father was a vampire. With no idea of the extent of his powers, Vlad struggles daily with his blood cravings and his enlarged fangs. When a substitute teacher begins to question him a little too closely, Vlad worries that his cover is about to be blown. But then he faces a much bigger problem: he’s being hunted by a vampire killer.

RagDollVampGirl's Review:

When I First Decided To Read "Eigth Grade Bites" I Was A Little Unsure About How I Felt About It. A Thirteen Year Old Half Vampire!! But, I Did Manage To Give It A Shot, And I Instantly Got Swept Up Into The World Of Bathory By The First Chapter. Heather Makes It So Easy And Light That You Forget Vampires Are Supposedly Demonic Creatures. I Love How She Manages To Make A Scene Change Without Ever Confusing You. The Character "Vladimir Tod" Definately Caught My Attention And Held It Throughout The Entire Book... I Definately Recommend Reading The Chronicles Of Vladimir Tod For A Great Time And A Good Laugh..

Rating - 4/5

I Will Begin "Ninth Grade Slays" by Heather Brewer by The End Of Today!! So I Will Have A Review For You ASAP!!

Upcoming Series: Gifted by Marilyn Kaye

2009-05-30T10:19:00.000-07:00

This Post Is For Marilyn Kaye's New Series "Gifted". The First Two Books Are Scheduled To Be Released June 9, 2009.

The First Book Is "Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight"

Synopsis:

Queen of Mean Amanda Beeson, 13, gets the shock of her life when she wakes up one morning to find herself in the body of one of her victims, Tracey Devon. Amanda discovers that Tracey, ignored at home and school, has the ability to become invisible. When Amanda finds herself in a special class that Tracey usually attends, it becomes clear that at Meadowbrook Middle School the definition of “gifted” has a whole other meaning. Can Amanda rescue her one-time target from obscurity and get her own life back on track? In order to do so, she will have to reveal her own startling gift and take her rightful place among Meadowbrook’s very secret clique.

The Second Book Is "Better Late Than Never"

Synopsis:

Goth girl Jenna Kelley has the ultimate tool to stage a teenage rebellion: she can read people’s minds without even trying. When her alcoholic mother is hospitalized, a stranger shows up who says he’s her long-lost dad and promises a better future. Too good to be true? Her gifted classmates think so, but Jenna is so determined to have a real parent around and a somewhat normal life that she might have lost her ability to listen.

First Book Review: Dead Is The New Black by Marlene Perez

2009-05-30T07:33:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone!!

This Is My First Book Review So Please Don't Kill Me Or Eat Me Alive... So, I Wrote A Good Amount About One Of My Top Three Favorite Authors Marlene Perez!! So Naturally, I Chose Her Book "Dead Is The New Black" For My First Review..

Synopsis:

Teenage girls are being mysteriously attacked all over town, including at Nightshade High School, where Daisy Giordano is a junior. When Daisy discovers that a vampire may be the culprit, she can’t help but suspect head cheerleader Samantha Devereaux, who returned from summer break with a new “look.” Samantha appears a little . . . well, dead, and all the most popular kids at school are copying her style.

Is looking dead just another fashion trend for Samantha, or is there something more sinister going on? To find out, Daisy joins the cheerleading squad.

RagDollVampGirl's Review:

This Book Is Light And Quirky And An Awesome Read. When You're Reading This Book It's Easy To Imagine Yourself As Daisy Or Poppy (Main Characters) At Any Given Moment. The Fact That This Book Is More "Solving A Mystery" Than "Dark Romance" Is Really Interesting. This Book Grabs You In From The First Page And Won't Let Go Till The Very End. This Book Should Be Read By Everyone!! It Is Very Enjoyable..

Rating: 5/5

I Know My Review Is Not That Long, But It's Because I'm A Little New. I Don't Feel Comfortable Putting Spoilers In My Reviews So I Won't Be Talking About What Happened In The Books. Mainly Just How I Felt And If I Think You Guys Should Read It!!

I'm Writing About Marlene Perez Today. She Is One Of My Favorite Authors. She Wrote The Dead Is Series Which I Am Currently Re-Reading. I Was Recently On Her Twitter Page Where I Found This Exciting Statement.

"Celebrating the sale of two new DEAD IS books! DEAD IS JUST A RUMOR and DEAD IS NOT AN OPTION."

Awesome, Right??

So Just To Be Sure I Wrote To Her On Myspace Asking If This Was True... And She Wrote Me Back:

"I'm happy to say that yes, there will be two more DEAD IS books. DEAD IS JUST A RUMOR will be out in the fall of 2010 and DEAD IS NOT AN OPTION will be out in the spring of 2011."

AWESOME!!!

I Adore The The Dead Is Series And I Hope That You Do, Too.

Okay Here Are Two More Books That Will Be Released Tommorrow... May 26, 2009..

First Up Is One Book That I Pre-Ordered A While Ago... "Vacations From Hell by Cassandra Clare, Libba Bray, Claudia Gray, Sarah Mlynowski, And Maureen Johnson"

Synopsis:

Life's a beach . . . and then you're undead?

In this must-have collection, five of today's hottest writers—Libba Bray (A Great and Terrible Beauty), Cassandra Clare (City of Bones), Claudia Gray (Evernight), Maureen Johnson (13 Little Blue Envelopes), and Sarah Mlynowski (Bras & Broomsticks)—tell supernatural tales of vacations gone awry. Lost luggage is only mildly unpleasant compared to bunking with a witch who holds a grudge. And a sunburn might be embarrassing and painful, but it doesn't last as long as a curse. Of course, even in the most hellish of situations, love can thrive. . . .

From light and funny to dark and creepy, these stories have something for everyone. You definitely won't want to leave this collection at home!

Synopsis:

It's been three months since everyone under the age of fifteen became trapped in the bubble known as the FAYZ. Things have only gotten worse. Food is running out, and each day more kids are developing supernatural abilities. Soon tension rises between those with powers and those without, and when an unspeakable tragedy occurs, chaos erupts. It's the normals against the mutants, and the battle promises to turn bloody.

But something more dangerous lurks. A sinister creature known as the Darkness has begun to call to the survivors in the FAYZ. It needs their powers to sustain its own. When the Darkness calls, someone will answer — with deadly results.

Once Dead Twice Shy by Kim Harrison

2009-05-25T11:52:00.000-07:00

Okay So I Am Making One Solo Post For This Book Because I Love It!! I've Been Waiting For This Book Since Last Year..

The Book Is "Once Dead Twice Shy by Kim Harrison" Scheduled To Be Released Tommorrow.. May 26, 2009...

Synopsis:

My name is Madison Avery, and I'm here to tell you that there's more out there than you can see, hear, or touch. Because I'm there. Seeing it. Touching it. Living it.

Madison's prom was killer—literally. For some reason she's been targeted by a dark reaper—yeah, that kind of reaper—intent on getting rid of her, body and soul. But before the reaper could finish the job, Madison was able to snag his strange, glowing amulet and get away.

Now she's stuck on Earth—dead but not gone. Somehow the amulet gives her the illusion of a body, allowing her to toe the line between life and death. She still doesn't know why the dark reaper is after her, but she's not about to just sit around and let fate take its course.

With a little ingenuity, some light-bending, and the help of a light reaper (one of the good guys! Maybe . . . ), her cute crush, and oh yeah, her guardian angel, Madison's ready to take control of her own destiny once and for all, before it takes control of her.

Well, if she believed in that stuff.

Anything is possible. . . .

Finn has always felt out of place, but suddenly her world is unraveling. It started with The Party. And Adam Porter. And the night in September that changed everything. The only person who knows about that night is Audrey—Finn’s best friend, her witness to everything, and the one person Finn trusts implicitly. So when Finn’s childhood friend Jersy moves back to town—reckless, beautiful Jersy, all lips and eyes and hair so soft you’d want to dip your fingers into it if you weren’t careful—Finn gives her blessing for Audrey to date him. How could she possibly say no to Audrey? With Audrey gone for the summer, though, Finn finds herself spending more and more time with Jersy, and for the first time in her life, something feels right. But Finn can’t be the girl who does this to her best friend . . . can she?

Synopsis:

This spellbinding haunted-house story takes place within the confines of a grand London mansion, a place where shadowy characters are always coming and going, almost like ghosts. But when twelve-year-old Nettie’s beloved tutor disappears, the cloistered yet savvy girl must pull her head out of the sand and find out why. In her search, she makes a friend and turns detective, coming apart yet coming alive as she discovers deeply disturbing things about her father and how he funds her family’s extravagant lifestyle – through human trafficking.

Next Up Is "Slept Away by Julie Kraut" Also Scheduled To Be Released Tommorrow..

Synopsis:

What’s this city girl’s worst nightmare? Summer camp.

Laney Parker's a city girl through and through. For her, summertime means stepping out of her itchy gray school uniform and into a season of tanning at rooftop swimming pools, sidewalk dining in the Meatpacking District, and—as soon as the parents leave for the Hamptons—parties at her classmates’ apartments.

But this summer Laney’s mother has her own plan for Laney—Camp Timber Tops—and faster than a girl can pack her eye cream, she’s shipped off.

Now, splattered with tie-dye fallout, stripped of her cell, and going through Diet Coke withdrawals, Laney is barely hanging on. But when she realizes her summer crush is untouchably uncrushable in the real world, she has to start asking herself some serious questions. Can camp cool possibly translate to cool cool?

Sleepaway camp might just turn this city girl’s world upside down.

First Up Is "Gorgeous by Rachel Vail" Scheduled To Be Released Tommorrow, May 26, 2009... This Is The Second Book In The Avery Sisters Trilogy... The First Being "Lucky"

Synopsis:

She's looking good...but Allison Avery can't believe it. Growing up with beautiful, blond sisters, Allison has always been the dark-haired, "interesting-looking" Avery. So when the devil shows up and offers to make her gorgeous, Allison jumps at the chance to finally get noticed. But there's one tiny catch, and it's not her soul: The devil wants her cell phone.

Though her deal with the devil seems like a good idea at the time, Allison soon realizes that being gorgeous isn't as easy as it looks. Are her new friends and boyfriend for real, or do they just like her pretty face? Allison can't trust anyone anymore, and her possessed phone and her family's financial crisis aren't making things any easier. Plus when she finds out that she might be America's next teen model, all hell breaks loose. Allison may be losing control, but how far is she willing to go to stay gorgeous forever?

Following the critically acclaimed LUCKY, Rachel Vail continues her poignant sisterhood trilogy with the rebellious middle Avery sister, Allison. Fiery, sarcastic, and just plain fun, GORGEOUS captures the heartbreak and hilarity in one girl's attempt to have it all.

Next Up Is "Undercover by Beth Kephart" The Paperback Is Scheduled To Be Released Tommorrow...
This Was A Debut Novel, Which Was Absolutely Astounding!!

Synopsis:
Like a modern-day Cyrano de Bergerac, Elisa ghostwrites love notes for the boys in her school. But when Elisa falls for Theo Moses, things change fast. Theo asks for verses to court the lovely Lila—a girl known for her beauty, her popularity, and a cutting ability to remind Elisa that she has none of these. At home, Elisa's father, the one person she feels understands her, has left on an extended business trip. As the days grow shorter, Elisa worries that the increasingly urgent letters she sends her father won't bring him home. Like the undercover agent she feels she has become, Elisa retreats to a pond in the woods, where her talent for ice-skating gives her the confidence to come out from under cover and take center stage. But when Lila becomes jealous of Theo's friendship with Elisa, her revenge nearly destroys Elisa's ice-skating dreams and her plan to reunite her family.

Today's Book Is "Love You Hate You Miss You by Elizabeth Scott" Scheduled To Be Released On May 26, 2009...

Synopsis:
Get this, I'm supposed to be starting a journal about "my journey." Please. I can see it now: Dear Diary, As I'm set adrift on this crazy sea called "life" . . . I don't think so.

It's been seventy-five days. Amy's sick of her parents suddenly taking an interest in her.
And she's really sick of people asking her about Julia. Julia's gone now, and she doesn't want to talk about it. They wouldn't get it, anyway. They wouldn't understand what it feels like to have your best friend ripped away from you.

They wouldn't understand what it feels like to know it's your fault.
Amy's shrink thinks it would help to start a diary. Instead, Amy starts writing letters to Julia.
But as she writes letter after letter, she begins to realize that the past wasn't as perfect as she thought it was—and the present deserves a chance too.

This Book Is Going To Be Amazing!!! Can't Wait!!
