Marked (House of Night, Book 1)

St. Martin's Griffin, 2007

GOOD, EASY READ

Fourth Comings: A Novel (Jessica Darling)
Megan Mccafferty

Crown, 2007

What. Ever. For. Ever.

+ POSSIBLY THE BEST SERIES I'VE EVER READ.
+ from Tarah of LoveReads! ([...])

We first met Jessica Darling in _Sloppy Firsts_ when she was a fifteen-year-old New Jersey sophomore, smart, angst-ridden, and very confused about what life was supposed to be. She thought too much and over-analyzed everything. The second book took her through high school graduation and the third ...
  
  











  



  
The Luxe
Anna Godbersen

Scandalously Scrumptous!!!

The Compulsive Reader's Reviews

+ Courtesy of Teens Read Too

There are so many similarities between Kaeleigh and Raeanne. They're identical twins. They share an absentee politician of a mother, and lonely drunk of a father. They both have had a painful childhood, and for both, it all began with a gruesome accident. But the source of that pain is entirely ...

Nineteen Minutes
Jodi Picoult

Washington Square Press, 2008

Tough to read, tough to put down

+ "Nineteen Minutes"
+ So, SO Much better than My Sister's Keeper

This is a story about cruelty and evil. Since it's about a school shooting, you'd assume the bad guy is the one with the guns. Think again. What the shooter does is unforgivable, killing 10 kids and hurting many more. But he acts more as a reaction to cruelty and evil than because he is ...

POSH
Lucy Jackson

St. Martin's Griffin, 2007

One of the most entertaining novels I've read in a long while

+ Not What It Seems

POSH is, paradoxically, both a terribly sad and very funny novel. The characters are vividly portrayed, and the prose is lovely and understated. This is one of the most entertaining novels I've read in a long while.

Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4)
Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

Perfectly Ended

I don't understand the negative reviews. If you've followed the series, why in the heck would you have wanted anything other than a wonderful ending that made you smile. It was a perfect ending to the series! Had it not ended this way...with everyone intact and happy...I would have been so ...
  
  











  



  
Chosen (House of Night, Book 3)
PC Cast, Kristin Cast

St. Martin's Griffin, 2008

Zoey cannot always be good!

+ Loved it

I read the reviews on this book before I bought it and was really surprised at the number of people that didn't like it since the previous books were so awesome. I am even more surprised now that I have read the book because I think it complements the series extremely well. Zoey is not perfect and ...
