Bad Girls Don't Die

Bad Girls Don't Die may have a creepy cover, but just keep on reading it! It rocks! I like this book a lot, it was scary at just the right level! Here's the review.
Alexis and has pink hair, she's different. And she pretty much thinks that her sister is the weirdest kid on the block. Once Alexis see's a strange light in her backyard, the creepiness starts. First of all, Kasey, her sister, starts showing up at weird places and her eyes turn green. Then their father gets into an accident, and they figure out someone had cut the brakes in their car. And guess who Alexis thinks is the culprit? *****. You'll have to read the book to find out the name. Soon Alexis finds out that maybe Kasey isn't the sweet little girl any more, maybe she's possessed. Kasey isn't herself anymore, and even though I didn't tell you much, let me tell you, you have got to read this book!!
I LOVE this book :), it has the scary parts and the funny parts and the parts that make you say, "Don't do it don't do it!" And then it happens and you can't wait until the end of the book when you fix all the problems. So go and read this book!

Dead is the New Black

Dead is the New Black by Marlene Perez. I really like this book, like really good! Its short and yet it was really good! There's more to the series and I have already read Dead is A State of Mind and can't wait for the next one. Here's the review.
Daisy has a complicated life. First of all she's the only non physic in her whole entire family, and she has no idea what happened to her dad. Imagine, your whole family has some sort of power, and you: nothing. Soon, several girls from school are in danger and each of them seem to have the life sucked out of them. Daisy suspects a vampire is on the loose, and lets not forget Samantha, who has been dressing up as a vampire, kinda suspicious huh? Then there's Ryan Mendez, who decides to help Daisy figure out what's happening to the girls at the school, who also seems to want to be something more than just a partner in crime with Daisy. And then there's the already dead girl, with the white streak in her hair that seems to be everywhere. Soon several other girls on the cheerleading team are going sick, and Daisy wonders who might be next. There's also the mysterious bracelet Samantha has given to everyone, is Samantha out to get everyone? Is she the vamp? Daisy and Ryan set out to solve this mystery. And along the way Daisy just may find something else too.
I didn't really know what to expect from this book but I really really liked it. I mean, it had the humor, the romance, the adventure and crime, and everything paranormal. I really loved Daisy, she's such a lovable character. Overall this is a really good book, way to go Marlene Perez!

Ruined

This book is ok, I have to say. But I didn't really like, but since I realized I haven't done any reviews on books I don't like I decided to do it. So here ya go. This book is by Paula Morris.
The last thing on Rebecca's mind was to go to New Orleans and live with her strange aunt, its not that she was strange really, she was just obsessed with voodoo. Rebecca's aunt warns her not to go into the cemetery outside their house, but when your told not to do something, well, its really tempting to go and do it. So Rebecca sneaks out one night and see's a girl who helps her avoid the group of popular people who were hanging out in the cemetery. Soon Rebecca finds out that the girl, Lisette, wasn't just any girl, she was a ghost. Rebecca soon goes out to the cemetery to see Lisette and listens to her story. Then she finds out about Lisette's death and what it has to do with one of the most popular girls at school. I read this book a while ago so I don't really remember much more, but this was an ok book like I said.
What annoyed me most was that the book was written in third person. I don't know why that bothered me but it did, I have read very good books in 3rd person like The Body Finder and Wings, but this one just didn't appeal to me very well. Other than that I found the book kind of boring until the very end when everything was solved, so I kind of forced myself to finish it thinking, It's going to get better, I guess it did, but only in the very end.

Wings

I didn't really think I would like this book. I mean, come one, faeries? Totally childish. But boy was I wrong, I really really really loved this book! So much that I read it in one day, something I never do with books because I always get bored with them. But this book was amazing! The author of it is Aprilynne Pike and she also has the 3rd book in the series coming out in a couple months.
Laurel is a new student in Crecent City, she hated it. Most of it at least, until a guy walks up to her and introduces himself. That's when everything starts. Laurel becomes better and better friends with the guy, David, and soon she wonders if they're something even more. Then she notices a strange bump on her back, the next week the bump is gone but it is replaced by petals. That's right, huge giant petals that grow out of her back. Once she figures this out she goes back to her old house and into the land that her mother wants to sell, there she meets Tamani, who develops some feelings for her. Tamani tells her who she really is, or more, what she is. Laurel finds out some shocking secrets and with the help of David, go on an adventure trying to save her mother's land. I can't tell you more, it would give away too much. But as stupid as this sounds, YOU HAVE TO READ IT
I really liked David, he was really nice. And I liked Laurel too, I can't really tell you why but I liked everyone in this story. It was just that good. Anyways, this amazing amazing book is a MUST MUST read because it will make you want more. I swear I hated it when I finished it because I didn't want it to end, that's how good it was.

Trance (New Feature)

I'm gonna do this new thing on my reviews, I'm going to rate the book/movie out of five stars. Just so you guys know what I really thought of it, and I will also be giving a status of- must read, if you wanna read, or leave it, and some other stuff. I may change my mind on doing it sometime, but for now its good.
Ashlyn has a gift. She can see the future, at least glimpses of it. The only problem is, she can't control it. It could happen at any time and she will go into the trance. There's also another problem, the guilt. Ashlyn has a sister, Kyra. A couple months ago Kyra had seen a trance and had told Ashlyn that someone was in danger. Ashlyn ignored it and then...someone died. Her mom. In a car accident. And guess who was driving? Ashlyn. She should have listened to her sister, should have obeyed her, but it was too late. Now Ashlyn is living with the guilt and now she has more trances, only she needs her sister to put the pieces together. But ever since their mother's death Kyra had disappeared. But the trances kept getting worse and worse and Ashlyn knows she has to find her sister. And then there's the number, numbers she writes down when she's in a trance. But that do they mean? She doesn't know. Ashlyn meets two people in the middle of all this, Gina, who helps her with a lot more than she thought, and Jake, who... well, you'll have to read it to find out. Can Ashlyn find her sister and put this all together? Can she figure out the trances and save whoever's life is in danger? Read this amazing book by Linda Gerber to find out.

I really like this book, a lot. Everything about it was just perfect. There was no unnecessary sentences or pages that bored you. There was also things that came up that made you read until the very end to see what happens, overall i couldn't set the book down. I also loved the characters, Jake, Gina, Michelle, all of them. I especially loved Ashlyn because she loves running and track like I do. There's a little conflict between Ashlyn and her dad, which only made the book more intresting. Overall a very good read.

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks

I ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY ADORE THIS BOOK! Haha, ok this book is ah-mazing and I am practically in love with it. Although it may not be as good as the brilliant The Body Finder, but for a book of different genre its awesome! I can't really tell you much but that the beginning was a little slow, but after that you just can't put it down! Here's the summary of the book.
     Frankie Landau Banks changed a lot over the summer, so much that half of the male population at Alabaster doesn't even recognize her. Even the always adorable Matthew Livingston. I can't really tell you anything about the rest of the book because it will give away soooo much, but lets just say Frankie meets a certain boy and starts going out with him and meets his friends who are absolutely awesome! But then she figures out a secret about them, whether its good or bad find out for yourself. Anyways, you have to read this book to find out what happens, I love love love love this book! Although the review quite dissapointing in telling you about the book, but I did it for your own good, your gonna have to love it for yourself! Have a good last week of the 2010 year, and go have some good reads!
