In March, Willow and her parents went out to dinner. Her parents had a little too many drinks, and asked Willow to drive them home. She had her learner’s permit, so it wasn’t like didn’t know how to drive. But of course, that night it poured like it would never rain again. That night, her parents didn’t make it when Willow crashed into a tree.
Willow blames herself everyday for what happened to her parents. She knows her brother hates her for what she did. She thinks she doesn’t deserve to be happy anymore. She deals with her pain by cutting herself, which soon takes over her life. Then Willow meets Guy. He’s different from everyone else. And when he finds out her secret, he tries to teach her to love herself again.
This book was definitely much better than I thought it would be. I just thought it would be a dramatic story about a teenage girl’s life of cutting herself. But Willow’s story, although fictional was full of emotion and much more than just cutting herself. This story was inspiring and amazing. I suggest you read it right away.

Vampires Suck TrailerWhen I first walked into the movie theater to see Vampires Suck, I was actually excited. I was ready to see a funny comedy that bashed Twilight and the entire vampire craze.
Too bad that didn’t happen. All the hype for Vampires Suck made the movie seem so much better than it actually is. Basically the movie is a combination of Twilight and New Moon. Instead of Bella as the main character, her name is Becca. There were few parts of this movie that was actually funny. I laughed maybe two or three times, but it wasn’t like I was rolling on the floor laughing. It barely had a plotline, even if it was a spoof of the Twilight movies. Some stuff just didn’t make sense.
I don’t know. I just don’t think this movie was as great as everyone thought it was going to be. I suggest you don’t waste your money on Vampires Suck.

Lucius and Aurora are both new students at their high school, and they both have a not-so-happy past. Lucius blew off his arms in an explosion of his own making. Aurora’s mother died of cancer. He has hooks for hands and she doesn’t know what to expect. Once Lucius meets Aurora, he realizes that there are some people out there that aren’t afraid of his hooks. He believes that she might set his soul free from its suffering. But she might just need the one thing he needs too – love.
I actually had no idea this book was a modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast. The whole romance between Lucius and Aurora wasn’t really the main plot, so that made me like this book even more. “Crazy Beautiful” wasn’t like Beastly by Alex Flinn (another modern day Beauty and the Beast) at all. I really, really liked his book! It is one of the few teen romance novels I really like. I suggest you read this one right away!

Okay. So first of all, I didn’t even finish reading this book, so I couldn’t tell you the main plot. I read about half of it and got bored with it. If I book bores me, I stop reading it.
I think the main point to this book is that Alex Van Helsing is somehow related to THE Van Helsing, the vampire hunter. And somehow Alex keeps running into all these vampires and they all try to kill him. I got to the point where two of Alex’s friends were taken by this super-bad vampire called the Icemaker.
I truthfully didn’t really like this book that much. The main plot was alright but it was a little too juvenile for me.

Ethan Wate is tired of living in the small town, Gaitlin, and wants to get out. But when Lena Duchannes moves into town, he completely changes his mind. She is the girl of his dreams – literally. As Ethan and Lena get to know each other more and more, they discover they are connected by an ancient curse on Lena’s family. As they uncover more and more secrets and the true meaning of live, Gaitlin doesn’t feel so small anymore.
When I first read the description of this book on its inside cover, I thought it was going to be a sappy love story I was going to hate. But actually, it was the exact opposite. I love this book. It’s filled with a lot of magic and supernatural stuff – just what I love. And the romance really isn’t the main part of the story. You have to read this book!

Rebecca Brown is being forced to move to New Orleans and leave New York behind. Her dad is going to work in China for most of the year, so she is moving in with her “aunt” and “cousin”, if that’s what they really are. Her Aunt Claudia’s house is right across the street from the Lafayette Cemetery. There, she meets Lisette who hangs around the Bowman family grave. Lisette isn’t your average girl – she’s a ghost. And in the end, Rebecca finds out that she might be a part of a very important part of history – a curse – that has been around for hundreds of years, and could change everything.
In the beginning, I thought this book was pretty boring. It took me a while to get into it. But after it got to the main plot and got good, I realized how great this book was! This book is a must read!

**If you haven’t read previous books, don’t read!**
