Shiver

Shiver

by Maggie Stiefvater

I started reading this book by recommendation from my friend, of course I checked out the synopsis first and thought ok this could be interesting. Sure at times it did remind me of Twilight and more than once I'm sure I pictured Jacob as one of the main characters (the wolf), but even still it did have it's own personality. The story is about a girl who was bit when she was little and a wolf who turns into a human who saved her. It's really a cute love story and I can't wait for the next book to come out in May "Shiver" I will definitely be getting that book to see how the story continues. The story is told by both the girl that was saved and the wolf that saved her, it goes back and forth throughout the whole book, sometimes that's fun to read but then other times I wanted so much more from one person at a particular time than I did from another. It was good but could have been better, but still enjoyable. Did that make sense?

Extras

Extras

by Scott Westerfield

The last book in the "trilogy" funny I know it should have been three but we couldn't get enough so he made an "extra" book hehe. Well this book the main character is not Tally which was a shocker at first but then I really got to know the main character and I really started to like her a lot and was hoping for more books on her. It's all about how now society is based on who's popular and no one has to be "pretty" but then resources start getting abused, it's definitely a good book and Tally does appear in the end so that's always a plus.

Sepcials

Specials
by Scott Westerfeld
The third book in this series is even more intense. After being caught by Special Circumstances - they turn Tally into one of the Cutters, a new breed of Specials. But Zane was left behind and after taking the pill that killed the nanos he was starting to deteriorate. So Tally and Shay come up with a plan to get him out to the New smoke so they can make him better. That's where the adventure starts and I don't want to say too much about it but Tally is really special in so many ways she doesn't even realize it. It is a great continuation to the store and I'm off to find out what happens in the next book.

After I finished the first book in the series I had to go out and get the rest so this is the second book and it did not disappoint. Tally's adventures continued on as a Pretty now where she tries to remember her life in the smoke and what is right and what is wrong. She meets Zane the leader of the Crims who helps her find a letter of consent that she had sent herself to take the cure because being pretty comes at a price. Both take a pill thinking it will have the same affect but it doesn't and Tally gets them out to the smoke. It's a great adventure and one I would love to see on the big screen.

Tempted
by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

Another great book in the series but omg the book really left me wanting more not in a bad way more like i want to know what is going to happen next and i don't want to wait until may of next year. It was great, it told you a lot of things and bought in new character perspectives. What I really love is how everyone hopes and prays that evil will make the right choice and turn into good. I really don't want to go into too much detail about the book in case you haven't read it yet, but it was great and I think one of my favorite characters right now is Rephiam and I just really want to learn more about him and see what's going to happen I can only imagine the good things that are going to come in the next book. Until May with this series.

I'm not one for the whole sci-fi thing but I like a good book and sometimes it's good to veer off the beaten path. i tried this book out, I've had it for a while (since the summer) but haven't really touched it because I tried to read it while on vacation and yeah I was too busy basking in the sun and waves so I never got around to it. Finally I said what the heck and am I ever so happy that I did. I really really enjoyed the book a lot to the point where I went right out and bought the rest of the books in the series because I just have to know what happens. I finished this book a couple days ago but I've been slacking in the blogging department for some time now. The book reminds me a lot of trying to create a utopian society by manufacturing people to a certain ideal (does that make sense?) anyway I love the book and can't wait to find out next!!!

This book was great it was very fast paced and really makes you want to see what's going to happen next. Imagine living in California trying to date and marry a rich guy and then once you finally do everything just goes downhill because life just loves to throw you a couple curve balls. Great read, loved it and really wished I had seen the miniseries on TV when they had it but I did put it on my dvd queue so hopefully one day it will come out so I can compare. Really great book
