Halo by Alexandra Adornetto (Review #3)

"Three angels are sent down to bring good to the world: Gabriel, the warrior; Ivy, the healer; and Bethany, a teenage girl who is the least experienced of the trio. But she is the most human, and when she is romantically drawn to a mortal boy, the angels fear she will not be strong enough to save anyone - especially herself - from the Dark Forces. Is love a great-enough power against evil?" Review: This book was really good. I loved it! I loved the romance and just (ugh!) everything. However, this is written by, and written in, the position of a Christian/Catholic. I like to think of it as like a supernatural book; just like you believe in werewolves or vampires when you read a book about werewolves and vampires, so for those of you who do not share this religious view, try and read it like that. I, however, am a Christian and still thought about it in this way. I cannot wait to devour the next two books in the series, Hades and Heaven. I definitely recommend this book. ...

Once by Morris Gleitzman (Review #2)

"Once I escaped from an orphanage to find Mum and Dad. Once I saved a girl called Zelda from a burning house. Once I made a Nazi with a toothache laugh. My name is Felix. This is my story." Review: This was a GREAT book. The sad reality Felix couldn't seem to grasp, left me with tears brimming the surface. I loved every minute of it and my favorite character was definitely Zelda. I recommend this book to everyone, wholeheartedly. P.S. be sure to have a tissue box nearby, I promise you'll need them.

Girl, Stolen by April Henry (Review #1)

Hi. I'm Samantha and I hope you enjoy my first Book Review and the many more reviews to come. Thank You for stopping by! Synopsis: "Sixteen-year-old Cheyenne Wilder is sleeping in the back of the car while her stepmom fills her prescription. Before Cheyenne realizes what's happening, someone is stealing the car - with her inside! Griffin hadn't meant to kidnap Cheyenne; all he planned to do was take the car. But once Griffin's dad finds out that Cheyenne's father is the president of a powerful cooperation, everything changes - now there's a reason to keep her. How will Cheyenne survive this nightmare? She's not only sick - she's BLIND!" Review: This book was a lot better than I expected. It showed both points of view of the two main characters and the villain comes from an unexpected direction. I really loved stepping into the eyes of a blind person. Going through the struggles Cheyenne had to go through and all under extreme circumstance...
