What Lies Around The Bend...

"Ava can't see or touch him, Unless she's dreaming. She can't hear his voice, Except for the faint whispers in her mind. Most would think she's crazy, 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." Review: Okay, holy crap, this book was good. Not only was it right up my alley with the whole free verse writing, but it was a story of a girl with a not-so-lost-love with whom she needs to move on from. It kept me enticed, wondering if Ava is ever going to get over Jackson. I was concerned for her, as if I was a friend of hers. Well done Lisa Schroeder!!! So I say, yes, buy this book. You won't regret it.

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN THIS FAR IN THE HOUSE OF NIGHT SERIES, STOP NOW. DO NOT READ. THIS IS BOOK #9 "Zoey is finally home where she belongs, safe with her Guardian Warrior, Stark, by her side, and preparing to face off against Neferet - which would be a whole lot easier if the High Council saw the ex-High Priestess for what she really is. Kalona has released his hold on Rephaim, and, through Nyx's gift of a human form, Rephaim and Stevie Rae are finally able to be together - if he can truly walk the path of the Goddess and stay free of his father's shadow. But there are new forces at work at the House of Night. An influx of humans, including Lenobia's handsome horse whisperer, threatens their precarious stability. And then there's the mysterious Aurox, a jaw-dropping gorgeous teen boy who is actually more - or possible less - than human. Only Neferet knows he was created to be her greatest weapon. But Zoey can sense the part of hi...

"A horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that Miss Peregrine's children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow - impossible though it seems - they may still be alive." Review: This book was phenomenal. This story is expertly woven by the author using pictures HE FOUND to put together arguably one of the best books I've ever read. Read it; it's not an option, you have to read it. I guarantee that you'll at least like it, if not love it!!!  It's a movie!

"Everyone has something, someone, somewhere else that they'd rather be. For four high school seniors, their goals of perfection are just as different as the paths they take to get there. Cara's parents' unrealistic expectations have already sent her twin brother, Connor, spiraling toward suicide. For her, "perfect" means rejecting their ideals to take a chance on a new kind of love. Kendra covets the perfect face and body - no matter what surgeries and drugs she needs to get them. To score his perfect home run - on the field and off - Sean will sacrifice more than he can ever win back. And Andre realizes that to follow his heart and achieve his perfect performance, he'll be living a life his ancestors would never have understood. Everyone wants to be perfect, but when perfection loses its meaning, how far will you go? What would you give up to be perfect?"  Review: This book was hard for me to read, but not for the reasons you think. The wo...

"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 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.

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...
