Review:This was a great addition to the series. Chima is a great world builder and she keeps you guessing with her twists. I recommend this book for fantasy, medieval times, or sword/sorcery fans. She also has a great system of magic. Read more
Review:This was an entertaining epic fantasy novel that begins a new series set in the world of the Seven Kingdoms. It is filled with interesting characters.

When his father is killed in front of him, he runs, vowing revenge on the King of Arden, who ordered the murder. He spends four years learning to be a healer and expert poisoner and keeping the fact that he is alive secret from most. He spends his ... Read more
Review:The Haunting of Sunshine Girl is what I would call a fluffy horror book. Aimed at younger readers, it would be the perfect balance of horror and humour.
I love creepy books that will scare me, and while I didn’t find this one to be particularly creepy, there were a few moments that surprised me, with paranormal twists that I didn’t expect. Going into Sunshine Girl, I knew it was going to be about a girl at a haunted house, but the luisearches who banish ghosts made it really unique.
Review:Well now...the ratings are all over the place for this one and I suppose I could explain my reaction to the book is based on the fact I have been sick with a virus for a week and on lots of meds...so when I tell you that it kept me reading straight through for the entire day till I was done...
Very unique, very brutal, very violent and sexual...sex and violence and mental torture and what can I say...I totally love that stuff.
Read at your own risk but I am sure glad I did. I want to be ch... Read more

Review:I really loved this book. It was everything I was expecting.
The writing was easy and flowy and sucked me right in. I loved that the chapters alternated between Norah (written by Rachel Cohn) and Nick's (written by David Levithan) point of view. Of course it made perfect sense for the setting to be in New York. I've never been to New York but I imagine it to be huge and scary, but at the same time filled with endless possibilities of adventure.
The novel starts off with us meeting ... Read more
Review:This was a very interesting and captivating read. I actually listened to this on audio book and it was very well done.
Nick and Allie are two passengers in different cars that collide in a head-on collision. When they wake they find that they are in the forest beside where the car accident happened. Watching over them is a boy named Leaf. Leaf informs them that they have been sleeping for 6 months and are in Everlost and are now Afterlights. Afterlights are kids who didn't quite make...

Review:This book is an ideal sequel to Scythe because it balances the amount of time with Rowan(Scythe Lucifer) and Citra(Scythe Anastasia) showing how they matured (this book takes time in about a year from the end of Scythe (the first book))and how they mature in this book and commences the journey of a new and important character whose name is Greyson and instead of giving Greyson the jobs of a Scythe, Neal Schusterman makes him the representation of the Thunderhead and sends him to do things the Th...

Review:This book is terribly tragic, and teaches a great lesson......IF you are brave enough to read it. This is the scariest book, or movie I have ever encountered in my life. Nothing has ever scared me so bad as this book. I was reading it at night, and I actually only had about 7 pages left, but i couldn't finish it, because it was too scary. I actually slept with a light on, and couldn't sleep for half an hour. I DO NOT recommend this book to anyone under the age of 18. Thanks, and Good luck readin... Read more
