Devil’s Kiss by Sarwat Chadda

I just read Devil’s Kiss by Sarwat Chadda. This book is a science fiction slash romance book. Since Billi was born she was destined to be a member of Knights Templar, a secret group of people sworn to keep the “unholy” away from society. Billi however just met this gorgeous boy and when suddenly her best friend Kay returns too she must choose between him, Kay, or the Knights Templar. The plot of this book is confusing at first because it takes a few chapters for the author to describe exactly what the Knights Templar do and I found it boring. I didn’t love this book and it annoyed me because I was really looking forward to reading it. It was almost too predictable and I felt like it was such an amazing idea and plot but the author could have written it much better. However it was good and I would recommend it to others.

Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard

I was excited to read Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard because many people had recommended it to me and loved it, however I was disappointed. I thought it was decent but I didn’t love it and I thought it was too typical and boring. The book begins when the five main characters: Spencer, Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Alison are in seventh grade. It talks about how they became friends and this is where the plot begins. One day Alison disappears and the other girls begin to drift apart with the loss of their friend. The book then skips to their junior year in high school. The girls are completely different and are no longer close. Suddenly they each begin to receive mysterious notes or text messages revealing their deep dark secrets that they thought only their missing friend Ali knew. As the book goes on the notes come more often and the girls do not know who to trust or what to do. I don’t know if I will read the rest of the books in the series even though I do want to know whom the person is who is sending all the creepy notes.

Ending of If I Stay by Gayle Forman

I could not believe the ending of this book, it was romantic and heartbreaking at the same time. It was a dreadfully sad ending but I think that the author ended it perfectly. Even though it ends very simply I thought that it the sweetest possible ending. The reader doesn’t find out exactly what happens to Mia or her relationship with Adam but I’m guessing that they stay together and that Mia goes to Julliard. What Mia has to face is so terrible and will affect her for the rest of her life. If I was in her situation I do not know what I would choose, I think that I would chose to live but it is so hard to face the reality that everyone in your family is gone forever. It was such a compelling and sad book that it actually made me cry. I recommend this book to others, it is so good and I feel like everyone could like it and that they should read it. It is a book that will last for generations because it is so timeless and the feelings that Mia faces will never change even as time passes.

If I Stay by Gayle Forman

I am reading If I Stay by Gayle Forman and I love it. When Mia and her family go for a car ride one snowy morning she suddenly finds herself floating in between death and life. One second she is singing along to the radio and the next both her parents are dead and her younger brother is barley living. While Mia’s body is in the hospital Mia must watch all her loved ones come and visit her body while she is stuck in this ghost like trance. Throughout the book you learn about whom she is and all the little important memories and people in her life. So far the book is incredibly sad but it is such a page-turner. The emotions that she faces are so miserable and yet so realistic. I don’t know if Mia will choose to kept fighting or will give up and die. I hope she keeps hope and stays alive because she has so many people that love her and are waiting for her to open her eyes. Even though it is terrible knowing that her entire family is dead I hope she wakes up and I predict that she will, because other wise it would be too sad. I cannot wait to see what happens.

Don’t Judge A Girl By Her Cover by Ally Carter

I just read the third book in the Gallagher Girl series, Don’t Judge A Girl By Her Cover by Ally Carter. The book began when the main character, Cammie, was thrown into an attempted kidnapping. After she barely escapes she devotes the rest of the book trying to uncover the truth about who they were trying to kidnap and why. Cammie goes to a top-secret school for teenage spies. While I was reading the book I kept getting extremely excited because so many things were happening that I never saw coming. This book was really good and I would recommend this series to others. It is not a typical girl book because the characters are different, they are spies and their whole life is about facing disaster and overcoming death and of course boys. It was a page-turner and easy read with a fun plot to keep the reader interested.

Seventeenth summer by Maureen Daly

I just read Seventeenth Summer by Maureen Daly and loved it. It was so descriptive and had a sweet and innocent feeling, which I thought was what made it so good. I couldn’t believe it when I found out that it was written in the 1940’s, it seemed as if it could have been written last year. The feelings the characters have and the situations they go through would be the same even if it were written recently. In this book shy, naïve Angie Morrow falls for the handsome popular Jack when they meet at the local hang out. Suddenly Angie is feeling all these new intense feelings that come with first love and she begins to realize the truth about adulthood. With college looming in the fall Angie must uncover the truth about Jack and their blooming relationship. I loved how innocent the book was and how truthful. In the end I wanted to know about the future for Angie and Jack. I wished that they would meet in the future and rekindle their love, they were perfect for each other and I would defiantly recommend this book to others. It was a lovable story and rewarding read.

Belong To Me by Marisa de los Santos

I read Belong to Me by Marisa de los Santos this past weekend. Immediately, I was drawn to the characters, they were descriptive and as the novel went on I learned a lot about them. I loved how Teo and Cornelia had known each other since they were little. I thought it added to them and it was just the perfect happily ever ending to have them married. Also when you discover, in the end, that Dev was Teo's son I found it interesting because Cornelia and Teo had been with each other since they were little kids and even though she believed she knew everything about him I liked how she didn’t. It made the book more realistic and relatable. I liked the character of Lake she was very complex. Throughout the book you learn about her and her son Dev but you never really know the truth. Their story is not very clear from the beginning and therefore I figured that in the end there would be some sort of huge twist like the one that occurred. I loved how in the end, Piper got her happily ever after, she managed to survive the death of her best friend, divorce, and social rejection. I would recommend this book to others who want a good book with an interesting compelling storyline. It was not one of my favorites but I defiantly want to read another book by this author in the future.
