If There's No Tomorrow

Stars 5/5

If There's No Tomorrow by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Wow! What a wonderful and powerful book addressing such serious issues. I just loved it. Very fast read. Gripping you from the first page. The story follows Lena and her high school life. Friends, loves, college applications, sports and of course parties. Lena has been in love with her best friend and neighbor Sabastian since they were kids but never told him until something disastrous happens. I do not want to go into anymore of the story as not to spoil it but highly recommend it. I would really love another book with these characters just to see how they are and what is up in their lives.

Vampire Academy Bk 1

Stars 4/5

Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

Vampires are always great! I have been wanting to read this series for quite a while now and so glad I decided to read it now. This story follows Rose and her friend Lissa and their time at and away from the Academy. Lissa is a Moroi Princess and Rose is not only her best friend but will be her guardian after graduation. This is a coming of age story with friendships, love interests, adventures and everything that happens in High School. I really enjoyed this fist book in the series and plan on reading them all. I would recommend this to everyone.

The Night Gardener

Stars 5/5

The Night Gardener by Jonathan Auxier

I just love Hester Kettle and I really hope that one day the author continues on with this story (with her in it of course) or does other books of her life. What an amazing character. This book was an amazing read. Very creative and unique. Definitely a classic that I highly recommend. The story follows Molly and Kip, sister and brother, who came to England from Ireland to find a job at the Windsors estate. Along the way they meet Hester Kettle, an old storyteller/junk collector, and they make a promise to her that if she tells them where to find the Windsors estate that they will come back and tell her a story. Once at the estate, lots of things start to go bump in the night and that is when the adventure really begins. I do not want to go into the book more as to not spoil it but let me say... what a fantastic story they have to tell.

You Know Me Well

Stars 4/5

You Know Me Well by Nina LaCour & David Levithan

Many things can happen during Pride Week. This is an adorable contemporary romance story that follows Mark and Kate and how they come together becoming fast friends. Kate is a talented artist searching to meet a girl that she has fallen in love with and Mark is a student that loves his best friend but the feelings are not returned. I don't want to go into the story more to not spoil it but I do recommend it. I would love another book following these characters. What will happen next in their lives?

Serafina and The Splintered Heart

Stars 4/5

Serafina and The Splintered Heart by Robert Beatty

This is the third book in the Serafina series and I heard there will be more and I am happy. I really liked this series with Serafina and all her friends. Their adventures in fighting sorcery and evil is fun and full of twists and turns. I would recommend this book and the series to everyone. Just because it is middle grade doesn't mean adults won't enjoy it. I must also mention that Robert Beatty is releasing a new series called Willa of the Wood coming in July 2018 and I can not wait!

Seraphina and The Twisted Staff

Stars 4/5

Serafina and The Twisted Staff by Robert Beatty

The Adventures continue with this second book in the Serafina series. I am really enjoying these books. The characters are very likable and I just love their friendships. Seraphina and her friends are faced with a new threat to the Biltmore estate and everyone who lives there. Working together to face the evil and succeed. This series is great for all ages and I do recommend it.
