All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they’ve closed tight. And every 30 days a new boy has been delivered in the lift.Thomas was expected. But the next day, a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade.

Review:

When I am reading a book I want to be interested and say Wow or Omg. Well, in this book Dashner  let me have this with this very vivide and detailed story.

Throughout this book I Was thinking one word, ok 2 words OMG and RUN! Yes, Run! I mean first of all this character Thomas wakes up in a pitch black box. How scared would you be? To top that off he has no memories of what has happened in the past. He than climbs up out of the box in this whole other little world where there is only boys and every month on the same day another one arrives. Until, the next day when a girl shows up and all supplies are cut off. “The gladers”—the boys  who live there – now start to fight for survival and  begin to question what role does Thomas play in this.

 Some strange encounters begin to happen to Thomas.One being able to talk to this girl in a strange way.

At first he thinks it’s weird than he finds it an amazing gift through his journey of strength, deterimination, & perciverince to figure out how and why they are here and most importantly how to SURVIVE. Join Thomas in his amazing journey between life and death. Who will live? Who will survive?

GoodReads Summary :

Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.
In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low.
And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherworldly war.
Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages—not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out.
When one of the strangers—beautiful, haunted Akiva—fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?

                                   Review : 

I went into the Daughter of Smoke and Bone with very open mind from what people were saying. I started to read and I was like wow this is kind of normal-ish. She went to school, was an artist, had a ex-boyfriend who kind of stalked her and oh she had blue hair and some other strange things not so normal, but kind of awesome at the same time. Those book bloggers who said this book was amazing, book of the century, unlike any other book you’ve read you’re so right!

Let’s talk about our main character here Karou. Karou was … kind of awesome I mean she had BLUE hair! Who doesn’t want blue hair? Lol ok I don’t, but it’s still cool. Am I right? Then, she was also this amazing freaking artist, who drew these sketch books with these creatures that have like mixed animal and body parts and crazy crap like that and everyone thought they were fake and then they turn out to be real! What in the world. Then again if she didn’t have these “creatures” what kind of story this be because last time I checked they made the whole story since it kind of revolved around them.

Karou also had this very.. Unique friend who was completely clueless about everything her friend was doing. I mean she knew something was up because Karou kept ditching her whenever this bird( though she never saw it ) came knocking at the window or doing whatever to get her attention so she could go do something for Brimstone. Leaving on that note there was Brimstone   who in the heck collects teeth. Uh gross I mean I know that’s being maybe a little girly, but it’s kind of weird. Know on to Akiva OMG this gave the story that dash of Romanic it needed straight up. I mean who wouldn’t want to have that dash? (So I don’t spoil anything I’m going to leave it at that)

From what I've read this book will not disappoint you. It's an amazing, thrilling Ya novel about angels, and these devil like creatures. How much better can it get!? This story will leave you wondering what the heck is going on till the very end!

Review: Bite Club Rachel Caine

                                                            Bite Club by Rachel Caine

Series: Morganville Vampires

Pages:340

Publisher: NAL    

Release Date:May 3rd, 2011     

Summary:

  After discovering that vampires populate her town, college student Claire Danvers knows that the undead just want to live their lives. But someone else wants them to get ready to rumble. 

There's a new extreme sport getting picked up on the Internet: bare- knuckle fights pitting captured vampires against each other-or humans. Tracking the remote signal leads Claire- accompanied by her friends and frenemies-to discover that what started as an online brawl will soon threaten everyone in Morganville...      

My Review: 

“Welcome to Morganville,” as they say in the beginning. Let me tell you they are so right! Welcome to my review of this very intriguing, dark at times, & very interesting story. There is always something new in this book. To tell you the truth If I didn’t know that there is 2 more books after this I would tell you I hope they never end. This series has had my attention for ten novels! (And more to come)That’s the longest time I’ve spent reading one series that kept my full attention and didn’t make me wander off to another book because it was the same boring thing.

The story and the characters never get old. Rachel creates these characters and gives you so much detail that I never have to second guess my self and say is this really what they look like or change my image of the character.

Also, she creates this …feel that you as a reader can feel when something is going on with these characters especially Claire and Shane. God, Claire and Shane how much I love them. They have this strong tense, Sweet relationship that never gets boring because some new conflict happens.

I don’t want to get too much into detail about this particular plot since it is the 10^th in the series and I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t read it so therefore I am going to stop my babbling and sum it up this short review (Sorry).I wouldn’t change a thing. Ok, sometimes I do want to jump and to this book and slap someone, but I want to do that a lot when I get mad at someone, but overall I wouldn’t change a thing.

If you haven’t read this series you really should! It’s an amazing plot\page turning series & leaves you hooked every time. If you want to find out why I am babbling on so many good things about this book check it out I encourage you I really do. Well, I hope to see you in Morganville… Oh and If your new “Welcome to Morganville “You won’t be sorry.

Review: Deadly Cool by Gemma Halliday

Deadly Cool by Gemma Halliday

Pages:  320

Series: Deadly Cool #1

Publisher: Harper Teen

Realse Date: October 11,2011

Summary:

Hartley Grace Featherstone is having a very bad day. First she finds out that her boyfriend is cheating on her with the president of the Herbert Hoover High School Chastity Club. Then he's pegged as the #1 suspect in a murder. And if that weren't enough, now he's depending on Hartley to clear his name. Seriously? Not cool. 
But as much as Hartley wouldn't mind seeing him squirm, she knows he's innocent, and she's the only one who can help him. Along with her best friend, Sam, and the school's resident Bad Boy, Chase, Hartley starts investigating on her own. But as the dead bodies begin to pile up, the mystery deepens, the suspects multiply, and Hartley begins to fear that she may be the killer's next victim.

Review:

Phenomenal! Yes, I used the world phenomenal to describe this book because it really is.Deadly cool takes you on a thrilling mystery through out the pages. You are left guessing who did it and honestly I did NOT see the ending coming.It was the last person I would have expected to do that.Maybe it was just me who was thrown off,but I really didn't guess this person. Than again, you know what they say the one you least expect is the one who always does it.

Now on to Harley,first of all what a cool name. (Hartly Grace Featherstone)Now second,(After all that randomness)she was being exactly what she thought she was being a "Nancy Drew" but it's ok because I liked it;She was on a misson to solve this case and lettme tell you see cracked it wide open taking a lot of risk and going to extreme measures to see that her ex-boyfriend, Josh was innocent.There were moments when she was unsure of her feelings for Josh and I'm glad she stayed strong because Josh was a jerk. I mean he cheated on her and than she's trying to help him and he's being a jerk.She pushed through it though because she knew the real killer was still out there and if she didn't stop this person who will.Getting off of Josh,I really liked Chase.Chase is a mysterious,bad boy who is also a writer, who wouldn't like him.Oh, and did I forget to mention he's supposed to be hot.

There was some romance,but nothing serious the book stayed on the topic of finding the killer and I loved it.

It had that dash of romance and even some laughter to make it perfect.

Overall loved this book! Gemma did an amazing job on explaning characters,and the scene it had me wanting to read more and guessing until the last page.You can deffintley count me in for the next thrilling mystery of this series!Can't wait to see somemore Chase,Hartley, and we can't leave out sam.

Summary:

In the small college town of Morganville, vampires and humans lived in (relative) peace-until all the rules got rewritten when the evil vampire Bishop arrived, looking for the lost book of vampire secrets. He's kept a death grip on the town ever since. Now an underground resistance is brewing, and in order to contain it, Bishop must go to even greater lengths. He vows to obliterate the town and all its inhabitants-the living and the undead. Claire Danvers and her friends are the only ones who stand in his way. But even if they defeat Bishop, will the vampires ever be content to go back to the old rules, after having such a taste of power?

Review:

So, I have been reading this series on and off since summer, but I found myself way to lazy

to do a review. Which I get upset about sometimes, but I'm going to put the pedal to the metal and finally do one on one book of this series. It just so happens to be this one since i've read it quite recently;Meaning yesterday.

Not going to lie I was a bit confused when I starting reading since I completely forgot what happened in the last book due to reading a  lot of other books since the fifth one in the series.I didn't start to remember until about 40 pages in, but once I did let me tell ya I was supper excited in what was going to happen next and raced through this book less than a day.I found myself asking questions while reading, I was wonderstruck no other word to explain it. Which made the sweet moments in this book the best it could have been. Than, there was the a part, well a couple actually in this book that were so long anticipated that i was thinking awe or wow holly crap. The plot was well written and suspenseful as the plans started to fall into place,as friendships and relationships were tested and loyalties were put to the test it came down to how far you would go and what you would do to 

to save not only your life , but friends and family and the innocent people of Morganville if after all you were only just turning 17. 

Welcome to this intriguing thriller of a paranormal  town called Morganville.Were no Morganville native dares to come outside past sunset after all  the dark and dangerous things come out in Morganville at night.

If you have yet to read this book you should probably check it out. Well, go on and check it out so you to can enter into the exciting world of Morganville. There's no place like here.
