Dead Is Just A Rumor and Good News : )

WHOA! I haven't been on forever! Well, I have some good news. I'm gonna blog more now! I kinda gave up on Camp NaNoWriMo, so I'm here! Boy did I miss you guys! I hope you guys didn't give up on me! So here I am, and I finished Dead Is Just A Rumor by Marlene Perez, and I have to admit, it was pretty good!
As the creepy little town of Nightshade prepares to celebrate its two hundredth anniversary — on Halloween, of course — many of its paranormal residents are receiving mysterious blackmail letters. Psychic teen Daisy Giordano and her sisters set out to find who is behind the threats. But launching an investigation isn’t easy for Daisy with her overprotective father watching her every move. Though she’s happy to have him back after the years he spent being held captive by an anti-paranormal group called the Scourge, Dad is having a difficult time adjusting to home life — and the fact that his little girl is now a senior in high school. He even disapproves of Daisy’s boyfriend, Ryan.
Ryan, meanwhile, to Daisy’s dismay, has been considering some faraway colleges thanks to the advice of Nightshade High’s new guidance counselor. Can their relationship take the strain?
And Daisy’s got even more on her plate: A talented amateur cook, she has won cooking lessons with celebrity chef Circe Silvertongue. After nosing around (with a little help from Circe’s pet pig), Daisy begins to suspect that the temperamental chef has got more secrets than just her ingredients . . .
Well, this book was a lot better than the past ones! I mean, not that the other ones weren't good enough! But yeah, this book was really good. It was witty, funny, unexpected, and full of suspense. And, the return of Daisy's dad was a pretty good addition to the characters, added a little more conflict. Daisy was just as smart as before, and solved a good mystery really well. I loved how at the end of the book, everything was wrapped up nicely, and I wasn't confused about anything. The plot was amazing as always, and I was never bored. I took page after page with a smile and enjoyed every moment of the book. I'm really excited for the next book! Overall, good book!
This book deserves...
FOUR STARS!

Camp NaNoWriMo

Hi all, I've got some news. I've decided to do Camp NaNoWriMo, and write another novel, and with that, I'm going to be very busy. I'm trying to really make this novel good and edit it and everything. So you could understand that I might not have much time to blog. I've actually kind of wanted to stop blogging, especially since I'm going to high school and I need to spend my time on school and work and tests and stuff. So this is me saying goodbye for a while, I will get on occasionally, maybe post a review or two, but don't expect much. I really don't want to but at the same time I do. You viewers have been great! I enjoyed reading your comments and seeing my blog grow in followers. I hope to blog again soon. I hope I didn't let you guys down or anything, I will try to get on sometimes! Thanks for everything!

Follow The Owl

Hey guys! How's it going?! Sorry I don't have a review up. But I've been really lazy and haven't had time to put one in. But I have a question for you guys! Did anyone listen to JK Rowling's big announcement the other week? Well, if you didn't, it was about a website called Pottermore, which opens in October. In JK Rowling's video, she said a few could get in early, if you "follow the owl". I've been looking all over the internet for owls that are related to Harry Potter, but I can't seem to find anything! Have you guys figured this out yet? What's your thoughts on this, follow the owl thing? Comment! Tell me what you think!

Deadly Little Games

Hello all, unfortunately, I have to say, I just finished Deadly Little Games, and I did not like it... Shocking, right? Here's the review, where I'll tell you about exactly what I didn't like.

Camelia and Ben have discovered a powerful bond: They both possess the power of psychometry, the ability to sense things through touch. For Ben, the gift is a frightening liability. When he senses a strong threat or betrayal, he risks losing control and hurting people. Camelia's gift is more mysterious. When she works with clay, her hands sculpt messages her mind doesn't yet comprehend.
Before either teen has a chance to fully grasp these abilities, an unresolved family tragedy resurfaces in Camelia's life, irrevocably changing everything she cares about...
Ok, first of all, I'm getting really annoyed with both Ben and Camelia. In every single chapter it was a different story. First they were together, next they needed some time, then they were together again, and then they needed some time. Seriously, MAKE UP YOUR MINDS ALREADY! It was really annoying. Second, the plot was the exact same as the past two books. It's like everything goes in the same order. I had to stop myself from just skipping to the last page to see who the stalker was, because I was honestly bored. Laure Faria Stolarz failed to wow me as she did in her past two books, and I think it's just the repetition. Also, the ending left me completely and utterly mad, I am very mad at Camelia right now. But that's beside the point. The book wasn't exciting, at least, not too much. The first two books were great, but now it's just getting boring. I already know what's going to happen. Well, kind of. Camelia and Ben, like I said before, can't make up their minds about their relationship and that's what's annoying me the most. I just didn't get this book at all, I felt like there was a lot of things Stolarz could have left out and a lot of things she could have included. So overall, not that great of a read for me. 

This book deserves...
THREE STARS
