Ever the Hunted by Erin Summerill
This was a good read. Britt's father is killed and her best friend Cohen is the suspected murderer. Britt must find him and bring him back to the king for justice but she realizes, once she finds him, that he is innocent. The two pair up to find the real murderer and perhaps learn more about Britt's family in the process. This book is a good mix of action, romance, magic and interesting characters. High school and adult readers alike would enjoy this book. I received a copy of this book from Amazon Vine in exchange for a honest review.

Reading in the Wild by Donalyn Miller (re-read)
I wanted to re-read this book in the framework of using it with my Young Adult Literature class. Miller lives to inspire students to become wild readers--those who love reading and want to share that love with others. I hope the same for my students. I recommend this book to all teachers and parents, regardless of grade assignment or ages of children. A must read!

A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest
This is the first in a paranormal series. When I started reading it, I thought it was going to be a 50 Shades-like book with vampires but it turned out to be a good read. Sofia is kidnapped and taken to an island of vampires and gifted to Derek, the vampire Prince. Derek is drawn to Sofia and not just as a meal and the two form a bond. But will their love have a chance to deepen? I borrowed this book from the public library.

The Forgetting by Sharon Cameron
Every twelve years "the forgetting" happens in Nadia's town and all of the people forget what has happened in the past 12 years, relying on what they have written down in their books to fill in the gaps. Except Nadia. For some reason, Nadia never forgets. Why? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Fans of Divergent and The Hunger Games will enjoy this action-packed read, with interesting characters and romance to keep readers hooked. I received a copy of this book from Amazon Vine in exchange for a honest review. Honestly, I highly recommend it.
