business and getting rid of every last demon threatening the world. However,
once her whole world starts to fall apart because of her father’s tragic

different from anything I have ever read before and I loved it! It is entirely
unique and has clever twists and turns that no reader would ever see coming. The
malicious tasks forced upon her and the hatred toward Riley make her stronger
and cause your love for her to increase rapidly throughout the book. Her
interesting relationships with Simon and Beck also cause your heart to pump

have any reader begging for more. Look for the sequel coming out soon on August
30, 2011!

I Am Number Four by: Pittacus Lore
This book has made it onto my ‘top five favorite books list’! This novel, I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore, completely captured me while I read this story. If I hadn’t had school, I would have finished it in one day! The main character, John, is so well-developed and realistic despite his dark secret. The story line is amazing and flooded me with so many different emotions throughout the book. At times I would laugh out loud, other times I would be about to burst into tears, and many times I was overwhelmed with anxiety for John and his safety. I would recommend this book to everybody! Pittacus Lore, please write a sequel!

Vampire Academy By Richelle Mead
Calling all you vampire lovers out there, I have found another spectacular book on the subjects you all crave- vampires and forbidden love. Vampire Academy, by Richelle Mead, grabs your attention on the very first page and never lets it go. The main character, Rose Hathaway, is a very strong girl who makes you think about friendship in a different way. I instantly loved her strong, courageous attitude, but I did question some of her decisions. Then, however, she would do something remarkable and make me respect her at a higher level than before. Rose’s best friend, Lissa Dragomir, had a different impression on me, though. Lissa would make me worried and frightened at different parts of this book. Sometimes she would even make me mad at her for causing Rose so much trouble. But this anger would wear off and disappear when I thought about her hard life. Lissa is a tortured soul and I often wonder how Richelle Mead came up with her. Richelle Mead has done a fabulous job with this book and creating all her characters. I absolutely loved this modern-day action/romance book and I highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking a great story with loyal friendships (and some not-so-loyal friendships) and a hot and steamy romance.

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner By: Stephenie Meyer
I bet all you ‘Twilight Saga’ fans (and lets face it, that is practically everyone) have heard of Stephenie Meyer’s new book The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. This ‘Eclipse’ novella is the superior story of a newborn vampire, Bree, who only makes a brief appearance in the ‘Twilight Saga’. This story shows you a little bit of what it is like in a vampire coven. You also see all the horrible lies and secrets kept from one another and how deadly many of the newborn vampires can be to each other. Bree has learned how to not get killed by short-tempered vampires, like Raoul and his gang, and how to blend in. But Bree’s vampire life changes once she meets Diego. Together, this couple is strong and powerful and are starting to figure out what is the truth and what is fiction; this makes them a threat to their leader and creator. This book was chilling and I absolutely adored reading about Bree’s short, second life.
