So I did a Waiting on Wednesday so long ago and I never did one after so this is my second one.


Description from goodreads:


New from #1 New York Times bestselling author Meg Cabot, a dark, fantastical story about this world . . . and the underworld.
Though she tries returning to the life she knew before the accident, Pierce can't help but feel at once a part of this world, and apart from it. Yet she's never alone . . . because someone is always watching her. Escape from the realm of the dead is impossible when someone there wants you back.
But now she's moved to a new town. Maybe at her new school, she can start fresh. Maybe she can stop feeling so afraid.
Only she can't. Because even here, he finds her. That's how desperately he wants her back. She knows he's no guardian angel, and his dark world isn't exactly heaven, yet she can't stay away . . . especially since he always appears when she least expects it, but exactly when she needs him most.
But if she lets herself fall any further, she may just find herself back in the one place she most fears: the Underworld.


I love Meg Cabot, this is a must read for me!!!!!

Wynter Chelsea:The Legacy by Becca Ritchie

desription from goodreads:
Four hundred years ago a creature descended upon the Earth. The supernatural hunted innocent lives wanting blood and vengeance. Two families, the Wynters and the Chelseas, knew of the darkness that reigned over the world. For thousands of years they hunted and killed to protect those who knew nothing of the dangers.

Amanda Chelsea vies to be a part of the Wynter Chelsea legacy, constantly craving the thrill of a lifetime that her older brother, Jack, and the two Wynter boys experience. At seventeen, Amanda’s passion to fight is overwhelming, and she cannot come to grips with why the boys are protecting her. Abilities are cast upon the new generation of Wynters and Chelseas, only in hopes of guiding them to vanquish the impenetrable creature. Even as Amanda Chelsea receives the power of empathy, feeling other people’s emotions, it brings more harm than a vital potency. Through the turmoil in New Jersey, Dustin Wynter is the only one able to relate to Amanda with a similar gift. As Jack’s rage boils over the edge, Dustin must put the pieces back together and hold the legacy up with a shaking arm and a quirky brother by his side.

When the world couldn’t seem to become anymore dangerous, both parents of each family go missing. Now with no choice but to bring Amanda along, she finally is able to fight without hassle, but is it worth it? Is the disappearance of the ones she loved a price that she has to pay for her dream to join the legacy? Traveling across the United States, the four young adults must confront their hidden emotions and ultimate reason for living.

Wynter Chelsea is a novel about finding truth in oneself and truth in the world amid the darkness that follows. Readers of the young adult genre will connect with Amanda’s coming of age story, where life seems to be at the tip of her fingers but she can’t hold on to it. Wynter Chelsea has a spark of comedy with Trevor Wynter and love with the bubbling young romance of Amanda and Dustin. With a strong sense of love, loss, and sacrifice, Wynter Chelsea connects the sentiment of the reader to the page. When the reader closes the novel, their heart will surely be left within the lines.

REVIEW:

This book follows The Wynters and The Chelseas and how they kill all kinds of creatures. Amanda is the only girl of the four children. The three boys are Jack, Dustin, and Trevor. Amanda is protected and not allowed to fight. When the parents disappear the four of them go on a journey using their powers and their instincts to find them. The trip also uncovers a long hidden affection between Dustin and Amanda. Thet also find the hidden secrets that their parents have kept from them and the reason for their exsistance.

This book was amazing, they all had different talents and skills and it was really fun to read about all the nasty creatures they had to battle. I cannot wait to read the next one!!! 5/5

The Mark by Jen Nadol

Description from goodreads:

Cassandra Renfield has always seen the mark—a glow around certain people reminiscent of candlelight. But the one time she mentioned it, it was dismissed as a trick of the light. Until the day she watches a man awash in the mark die. After searching her memories, Cassie realizes she can see a person’s imminent death. Not how or where, only when: today.
Armed with a vague understanding of the light, Cassie begins to explore her “gift,” seeking those marked for death and probing the line between decision and destiny. Though she’s careful to hide her secret—even from her new philosophy-obsessed boyfriend—with each impending death comes the temptation to test fate. But so many questions remain. How does the mark work? Why is she the only one who sees it? And finally, the most important of all: If you know today is someone’s last, should you tell them?

REVIEW:
If I saw this mark and knew what it meant, I don't know if I would try to prevent the people from dying or don't test fate. I think the mark is definately there for a reason and maybe she is supposed to help people, but that is also a huge responsibility. I would feel horrible if I let someone die or if I tried to help someone and they didn't listen and then ended up dying anyway, they would have spent there last moments almost in  frear. The question in my mind is not resolved still, I don't know if she should tell them. This was an interesting read. I would never want this "gift", I would probobly try to stay inside forever and not see people. A good read, but sad too. 4/5

Red Riding Hood by Sarah Blakely-Cartwright and David Leslie Johnson

Description from goodreads:
The body of a young girl is discovered in a field of wheat. Her flesh mutilated by telltale claw marks. The Wolf has broken the peace.

When Valerie learns that her sister has been killed by the legendary creature, she finds herself at the center of a dark mystery, one that has plagued her village for generations. It is revealed that the werewolf lives among them, and everyone in the village immediately becomes a suspect. Could her secret love Peter be behind the attacks on her town? Is it her betrothed, Henry? Or someone even closer to her?

As the men in the village hunt for the beast, Valerie turns to her grandmother for help. She gives Valerie a handmade red riding cloak, and guides her through the web of lies and deception that has held her town together for so long. Will Valerie discover the werewolf's identity before the town is ripped apart?

This is a dangerous new vision of a classic fairy tale, the happy ending could be hard to find.

REVIEW:

I know a lot of people hated this book, but for me it wasn't that bad. What did you think?

Every month the village gives the wolf a sacrafice so it doesn't kill any of the villagers. When Valerie's sister turns up dead and it's evident that the wolf is responsible, they then hire a wolf hunter. He tells the village that the wolf is living amoung them, one of them. Valerie's old friend and new love Peter is also back after ten years. Valerie is also now betrothed to Henry. So she goes behind Henry's back and keeps her love for Peter a secret.

When the wolf contacts Valerie and she can understand it, she is used to lure the wolf, but is the wolf someone closest to her? Will it kill the people who she loves?

This book was pretty good. I read this driving down to Nebraska and it was entertaining enough that I read it most of the drive. There were some things that confused me, like the background information about the wolf, and why Peter disappeared all those years ago. I liked the story overall though. 4/5

In front of God and Everybody: Confessions of April Grace by KD McCrite

April Grace is 12 years old living in the country in the year 1986. She has a funny sister who is obsessed with looking good all the time and a grandma who just got a new boyfriend. There are also some hippie neighbors who never shower and on top of that snooty new neighbors, who are always insulting the family.A funny read about what it's like to live in the country in 1986 through April's eyes.

This was a good read. All of  the stuff that happens, it was hilarious to see. It kind of reminded me of Trixie Beldon, and what farm life is like but of course Trixie Beldon grew up awhile before April, but the same farm type of life. The moms cooking also reminded me of my mothers, she always makes everything covered in fat. I also thought the new neighbors were about as rude as can be. Overall a good read 3/5

I'm Back

Hey everybody, I just got back from Nebraska. It was an amazing trip, I got to see my amazing little cousins who I completely adore. My cousin Andrew, who is now 2, can now say "i-cole"  (Nicole), I love it. He also now hates being helped into his highchair so tries to do it himself and goes "self". I had anamzing time at the zoo in Omaha, I went on this thing called the Skyfari and almost wet my pants I was so scared, of course my ten year old  cousin Hannah was laughing, she was not scared at all. The gorillas were also not out so it made me a little sad. The bookstores were fun, a lot bigger than mine. I still have not been to a Barnes and Noble, but I went to Half Price Books and got like 8 books  and a journal and bookmark for 40 bucks....not bad. I hope everybody had a wonderful Easter.
