This book details the life of teenager Violet Ambrose, who has had a gift- an ability to sense the bodies of the dead, ever since she was a child. When a serial killer begins to terrorize the town she lives in, Violet has to put this gift to use, while at the same time falling in love with her best friend Jay, and coping with the challenges high school presents. I really liked this book. The Body Finder is a novel full of both romance and suspense, but they fit well together and enhanced the book. The novel went by at just the right place, and the characters were generally pretty believable. Interestingly, it tells the perspective of not only Violet, but the serial killer as well. The author wrote in a way that made you feel the emotion in the book.I highly recommend this book for its outstanding writing. Those wanting a solid suspenseful love story will be pleased with The Body Finder. Once you pick it up, it's hard to put down.

The Nine Lives of Chloe King follows teenager Chloe King as she experiences weird changes upon her sixteen birthday. She learns that her biological family belongs to a race of cat-like people called the Mai. The book follows Chloe as she discovers more about her past and has to make hard decisions about her future. I like the book a lot, it was an easy read and only took about a week to read. The story line was really interesting and i found myself getting attached to these characters as the story progressed.Yes I would recommend this book to someone else because the story was really fascinating and the characters were too. Especially to those who watched the tv show because you will find that the book is much better and it also provides a different look at Chloe life.

Meanwhile Jace is kicked out of the Institute by his adopted mom and has gotten on the Clave's Inquistor's bad side. With all this going on, Clary doesn't know what to do. Does she rescue Jace with some help and stop Valentine or fail epically?I liked this book because there's a lot of romance and action.

Percy Jackson lost his memory. He finds a Roman camp (Camp Jupiter) in San Francisco and soon embarks on a quest with his new friends Hazel and Frank to save Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-Blood and release the god of death (the actual god of death. Read: Not Hades) Tatanus . Otherwise Gaea will awaken and destroy civilization. Yeah, just another normal day for a demi-god. He meets some allies along the way and soon faces the boss giant that he needs to defeat: the giant that's supposedly the bane of Hades, the one and only Alcyoneus. Call him Al or Golden Boy. Will he prevail or fail? Yes, I love myths and Percy Jackson stuff so this was a big hurrah for me. Percy Jackson fans can now celebrate cause Percy is BACK!!

The book is about a girl name Katniss Everdeen. Her sister is picked for the hunger games (where teens fight to the death and there is one winner). Katniss volunteers in the place of her younger sister and plays in the hunger games.I really liked this book because of the love story and the fight scenes it had. Yes, I would recommend this book to others of an older age of about 13 because of some the the intense fight scenes and the sort of love triangle that goes on. But over all I really like this book.

In 1893, the World's Fair was to be the biggest event of the century, and it was. Numerous exhibitions from across the country and even the world traveled to Chicago to be displayed next to newfangled creations like the Ferris Wheel and the jawdropping shows of Buffalo Bill. Little did anyone know that danger was lurking in the shadows in the form of serial killer Dr. H. H. Holmes: the devil in the White City. I LOVED this book. As an avid reader of murder mysteries, the story of Dr. Holmes was at once intriguing and frightening. Coupled with the story of the World's Fair, I found this book to be a wonderful dose of both true history and an enthralling plot. Even if you don't like history, you'll still enjoy this book because the story is not overwhelmingly filled with data yet is still realistic. The actual events of both the Columbian Expo and Holmes's killing sprees are portrayed in a wonderful narrative format that is a delight to read. However, due to the rather gory aspects of this novel, I'd recommend this book only to strong readers with equally strong stomachs. :)
