City of Bones/ Ashes/Glass

The City of Bones Series is one of the best I have read in a while. Fans of Twilight will love this series by Cassandra Clare. I read all three books in a week and could not put them down. Just when you think you have it all figured out, the author throws in a twist that leaves the reader gasping! Clary is a normal teenager or so she thinks. When her mother mysteriously disappears and she starts seeing "invisible" people she realizes there is more to her life than she thinks. She soon finds herself among demon hunters, vampires and werewolves. Just when she thinks she has everything under control the guy she is falling in love with turns out to be someone she can never have!! Trust me on this..... you will love this series better than you loved Twilight. The fourth book in the series is set to come out in the fall.

Witch and Wizard

Witch and Wizard by James Patterson is a fresh new look at Witches and Wizards. Whit and Wisty are torn from their homes in the middle of the night, thrown into prison and accused of being a witch and wizard. Many other teens have disappeared and are being held at jails throughout the country. The New Order is afraid of the knowledge and power of the teens in the land. The more Whit and Wisty fight the stronger their powers become. Will they be able to overthrow the new government and save the teens from their worst fate?

This book is true to James Patterson style. The chapters are short and packed with adventure. The reader will want to read, "JUST ONE MORE CHAPTER!!!"

The Midnighters

The Midnighters by Scott Westerfeld is a Science Fiction thrill ride. New girl, Jessica, is caught in a town that does not have 24 hours. It has twenty-five. The extra hour is rolled up too tight for anyone to see, but the few that were born exactly at midnight. Time freezes and the "Midnighters" are free to roam the city. They are not alone, there are creatures that are waiting in the sidelines to attack. Jessica is the newest member of the "Midnighters" and the slithers are not happy about her presence at all.

This book is full of action and suspense. You will want to keep reading!!!

The Garden of Eve

The Garden of Eve by K.L. Going was an easy read. Its a more heartfelt book instead of danger and adventure. The main character loses her mother and the story is about her and her father relocating and getting on with their lives. The new town they move to has events that start unfolding and they are quickly caught up in it. Its a good book that has a little bit of mystery to it. I enjoyed it because even though it wasn't a fast paced adventure, it always kept you wanting to read to find out what happens next.

Cirque Du Freak Series

This twelve book series by Darren Shan is not your usual vampire story. This series was packed full of adventure, suspense and a new twist around every corner. He keeps you on your toes and wanting more and more with each book you read. Darren uses himself as the main character throughout the entire series and swears that the events really happened. You will become attached to him from book one and will want to follow him on his journey of becoming a half vampire, to killing off vampaneze, making the journey to Vampire Mountain, and fighting in the war of the scars. I thoroughly enjoyed this new take on a Vampire Story. Once I picked the first book up, I had to finish reading the rest of the series. You will get attached to Darren and Mr. Crepsley and when you are done reading, Darren leaves you asking yourself, "Could this really have happened?"
