Beautiful Creatures by: kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

Summer 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.
Review
  The story begins with Ethan Wate, the whole story is written from his point of view. This book was simply amazing it drew me in sooo fast it only took me 3 days, because it was so good. It's prety much one of those mortal falling in love with a ***** sorry it would be a spoiler. So it's pretty much the fight to be together and it was amazing! I loved every page of it.
 Of course I give this book  5.

Linger By: Maggie Stiefvater

 Linger the second installment of the Wolves of Mercy Falls Series. A #1 New York Times bestseller! Hmm so many things to tell about this book, but before I begin *SPOILER ALERT* if you have not read shiver the first book in this series, please do not read on!

 Summary

the longing.

 Once Grace and Sam have found each other, they know they must fight to stay together. For Sam, this means a reckoning with his werewolf past. For Grace, it mean a future that is less and less certain.

the loss.



Into their world comes a new wolf named Cole, whose past is full of hurt and danger. He is wrestling with his own demons, embracing the life of a wolf while denying the ties of being a human.

the linger.

For Grace, Sam, Cole, life is a constant struggle between two forces-wolf and human- with love baring its two sides as well. It is harrowing and euphoric, freeing and entrapping, enticing and alarming. As their world falls apart, love is what lingers. But will it be enough? 

Review:

 As the second book of The wolves of Mercy Falls, there is a lot to expect. Although this book was well written, and the characters, were still the same, I feel as though the first book was better. Maybe its just expectations.

 So the story continues pretty much where it left off Sam and Grace as in love as ever, except Sam is now a permanet human, or so we think.... Just think about that when you finish the book. Grace is struggling with something which I'm not going to tell you sorry that would be a spoiler. Of I almost forgot you met a new wolf named Cole, which I believe you read a bit about in the first book, so his story continues. And then there is Isabel, after her brother died she has felt a weird connection to Grace, Sam and the whole wolf idea. I have to admit I do li love the new charcter Cole, he is charming, funny and ingenious. 

I give this book a 3, because it didn't live up to Shiver, the plot was not complex enough and the action was at the end and took a while to get to.

Awaken by: Katie Kacvinsky

Summary

 Maddie lives in a world where everything is done on the computer. Whether it’s to go to school or on a date, people don’t venture out of their home. There’s really no need. For the most part, Maddie’s okay with the solitary, digital life until she meets Justin. Justin likes being with people. He enjoys the physical closeness of face-to-face interactions. People aren’t meant to be alone, he tells her.

Suddenly, Maddie feels something awakening inside her a feeling that maybe there is a different, better way to live. But with society and her parents telling her otherwise, Maddie is going to have to learn to stand up for herself if she wants to change the path her life is taking.

In this not-so-brave new world, two young people struggle to carve out their own space.

Review

 First off this is the first book I have read with my Kindle, which I think is pretty cool! I'm still debating wether the kindle or real books are better though. Ok on to the review,This is the Story of Maddie and Justin as told by Maddie. You see Maddie lives in the year 2060, where everything is virtual, even school thanks to her Father. Maddie has always been a little resiliant to the whole thing, and got into some trouble for it. Then Justin, who is my faveorite character, comes into the picture telling her that she was right live shouldnt be lived in front of computer screens, and teaches her all about the secret societys and awakens her.
  I love this book at first it took me a while to get into, because the beggining was a bit slow, which I think frankly happens in most books. Its was one of those books that once you get into there is no going back, you just have to finish it. Perhaps all teenagers should read this, to show them the dangers of technology.
  Awaken gets a 4 out 5.
