Living Dead in Dallas (5/5)


Living Dead in Dallas (5/5)

This is the second book in the Sookie Stackhouse series. Sookie heads to Dallas with Bill and Eric to use her telepathic powers to help out some vampires. As usual, trouble happens. I am beginning to be a fan more of Eric than Bill. I really like this series.

The Lit Report (YA) (5/5)


The Lit Report (YA) 5/5

Julia's best friend Ruth gets pregnant. Julia is a great list-maker and decides that she will walk Ruth through her pregnancy, make sure it stays hidden from her overly religious parents, deliver the baby and then leave it at the church of Ruth's parents. Of course sometimes the best laid plans don't happen. Julia, Ruth and the supporting characters of Julia's parents, Miki and Jonah are great. Readers will care about these characters. I enjoyed the literary references throughout the book. I could definitely relate to Julia.

Living Dead Girl (YA) (5/5)


Living Dead Girl (YA) (5/5)

This is a totally creepy book. Ray kidnapped a 10 year old and renamed her Alice. He rapes her, beats her and keeps her under lock and key. The last "Alice" was "freed" when she turned 15. This "Alice" is turning that age but Ray decides he wants her to help him get another little girl that they can raise together. This guy is a psychopath. This book is horrifying to read but you can't put it down.

Playing with Fire (YA) (4.5/5)


Playing with Fire (YA) (4.5/5)

This is the 2nd book in the Skulduggery Pleasant series. Skulduggery is a skeleton detective. Valkyrie is the young girl helping him beat the bad guys. This book is full of action and will keep readers interested throughout the whole book. Both MS and HS girls and boys will like this book. I like this series a lot.

Perfect Fifths (4/5)


Perfect Fifths (4/5)

The fifth book in the Jessica Darling story continues the saga of Jessica and her relationship with Marcus Flutie. This one wasn't as good as the others in the series. Jessica and Marcus see each other for the first time in years in an airport and begin to catch each other up on their lives. Good chemistry still between the two of them.
