Trinkets

Trinkets was a page-turner because of the different perspecives it was writen from. The characters in this book changed after meeting each other. Although all of them had their own lives they were never truly comfortable. To relive their negative feelings the girls shoplifted. When their different lives collided the girls found a new comfort in each other. This amazing story is a great read for young adults, I couldn't put it down!

Catherine

Having not read Wuthering Heights, the book Catherine was based on, I found myself being a little worried that I wouldn't understand the plot. Instead it was the opposite. I loved this book!! It kept me sucked in from the beginning to the end, the characters were full of life and spark, and the author didn't end the story the way that I thought she would. In fact, I would highly recommend this book. I thought it was excellent.

Altered

I really did not like Altered. To start off, this girl has four boys locked in her basement for testing. But does she think about how wrong it is to keep prisoners in your basement? Does she ever wonder what they are there for? Does she show any feelings at all? No!!! The only thing she cared about was how hot one of the boys, Sam, was. Is this a realistic reaction? I think not. And that was just the start of a very infuriating read. The idea behind the book showed promise, but unfortunately for this book I think something got lost in translation.

Scrivener's Moon

I probably should have read the first two books of the series before I got this one but it didn't seem necessary.  I thought because I had recently read the second book and it was not confusing at all that this one would be the same. I got very confused and gave up. The preface helped explain who the main character was but I still didn't understand the story enough to enjoy it. 

I don't think that Scrivener's Moon was my type of book, I was expecting something more like The Last Princess by Galaxy Craze when I read the back so no wonder I was a little bit disappointed.

Time Between Us

Anna's life is thoroughly normal until she meets Bennett, how is thrilling and different from the other boys at her school. But never, not even in her wildest dreams, could she guess how different he really is. I thought Time Between Us was a fun light read. It had its cliche moments, but they worked. I would recommend this book to people who like romance books.

Lucid

Wow!!!! Lucid is really wonderful. It had me guessing all the way up until the end, and the ending was one of the best twists I have ever read. I would highly recommend this book!

The Shadow Society

When a new mysterious boy arrives at Darcy Jones's school, her life changes forever...

Darcy finds herself  drawn to this mysterious, handsome boy, Conn.

Sounds like Twilight, right? But Conn is no vampire and rather Darcy is the monster - a shade, creatures who exist in an alternate Chicago, and their lives focus around the revenge on humans. Darcy, who knows nothing of this, is thrown into a world where she is torn between her promises, her blood and her love...

I really liked The Shadow Society and couldn't put it down once I started. Recommended to all.

Ask the Passengers

Ask the Passengers is about a senior in high school, Astrid, who is questioning her identity and place in her family. Her mom loves her sister more, her dad spends all his time stoned, and her sister doesn't support her. The town Astrid lives in is not accepting of differences and so when Astrid begins to fall in love with a girl, she keeps it a secret. Throughout the story she becomes more comfortable with who she really is and with letting the people she loves know the true her. I found myself wanting to tell the characters how they could be better people, and hoping they were accepting of Astrid. I loved the ending and it made me appreciate the love that I have in my life.
