Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side by Beth Fantasky

Hey everyone, this weeks book was Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side, which is quite the mouthful if I do say so myself. This book has been pushed at me from all my sites, my bookstores, and basically every advertisement I have seen on books. The ratings were high, so I suppose I had my hopes up going into the story. Big mistake. The book was very rushed I feel, the main story almost being thrown violently at you. Let me try to explain it. Meet Jessica, duh, who is waiting for the bus when she notices a strange man watching her. He says her name, but not the one that everyone knows. He says her old name. OMG, what? Her old name? Apparently she knows that when she was a baby she had a name, that her adoptive parents told her about, but now she has a new name. Not even an hour later the guy shows up in her class, acting all high and mighty, and clearly knows nothing about high school at all. Jessica, being a big baby, calls her mom to take her home because she thinks ...

Wings by Aprilynne Pike

Ok, so here is another great book, first in the Wings series, that I recon is worth a shot! I did not want to originally read this book, but one of my oldest friends read it and I would be damned if she would read a book that I would not. And I truly liked it! So much so that I went out the next day and bought the rest in the series. I have done the review for a later book in this series a few years ago here on the blog, but I thought that now would be a good chance to do the first book considering how long it has been. So, let's get to it. Meet Laurel, who has just moved to a new town with her family. She is having trouble making friends at school, mainly because she would prefer to be outside most of the time than inside where she feels secluded. She is a vegetarian, and mostly eats fruits. She makes friends with a boy named David, who helps her unlock the secret to her past, even though he has no idea he is doing it.  One day she finds a bad spot on her back, and wit...

Need by Carrie Jones

Hey everyone, sorry that I have been missing for the past couple weeks but with the holidays here I am back again! Today is Monday and I will be continuing to upload my reviews every Monday leading into the New Year and so on. So I read Need a while ago and I believe I even did a review for one of the later books in the series, which I regret because looking back on it I shouldn't have been posting any reviews for books that are not the first in a series. It isn't fair to those who haven't read the first books and it might give away spoilers. So I thought I would go back and do the review to this one, because it was truly a good series. Meet Zara, who has been sent to live with her grandmother after her father dies of a heart attack. Living with her tends to be a struggle because she has to transition from the sunny beaches of her home town to the always snowy small town where there are not many people living. There she meets Nick, a boy with strange secrets, Izzie a...
