Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins

This book is second in the series of the Hex Hall. We catch up with Sophie at the end of her first school year. She is still recovering from finding out she is a demon and her crush belonging to The Eye. After adjusting to her new bad ass reputation and making her all sorts of popular at Hex Hall, she is informed she is going to go to London spend the summer with her missing for most her life father. Cal and Jenna join her. As she learns to control her demon powers she begins to uncover deep secrets of her and her fathers past. The question is can they survive the secrests?

I adored this book even more then the second one. I love the sarcasm and random made up words that Sophie comes up with. She talks the way I do and it love it. I found my self laughing out loud at certain parts which caused my boyfriend to look at me funny when I tried to explain it why. It was nice to actually have a main character actually have a brain. She doesn't make stupid choices and tries to do the correct thing. Even when thing go to crap it isn't her fault.

I give this book a solid A. Now I have to wait till 2012 for the next one....

Devoured by Amanda Marrone

Megan is haunted by her twin sister, Remy. Ever since a car accident that also put her father on life support. She once tried to tell her best friend Nicki about it and ended up having to see her therapist a lot more. So for nine years she keeps this secret. Megan is seeing Ryan who is has admitted that his best friend Samantha has confessed one drunken night that she thinks the two of them are soul mates. Thus making Megan insecure and taking a job at Land of Enchantment to keep a watchful eye on the both of them. As she was getting her costume for her snow white outfit her sister Remy shows up and gives her a frightening vision of a a girl who looks like her with her heart cut out. Passing out from this vision Luke shows up and admits he can see her sister too. He admits he can see ghost and later on we find out his grandma is an empath. Megan and Luke must find out what Remy is trying to say in to them before its too late.

I really enjoyed this book. I think what I liked most about it was the fact they have people who can see ghosts. That even the extra characters, a few could hear Remy when she was being most powerful. I truly believe in ghost and I know that empaths do existed since my best friend is one. The main character had her issues but who wouldn't watching your sister die and basically your father die too. I think she was easy to connect to. I loved her best friend Nicki who was a tell it like it is but not in a bitchy way. I always love stories when they add the connection to fairy tales. The only part I had problems with is the ending. I wanna know if the family was related to Snow White and the woods man?

I give this book an A-. I enjoyed it and its a book if I found cheap I know I would like to add to my collection.

Lost it by Kristen Tracy

The main character Tess comes from a very limited back ground. Her parents did not let her experience anything. They have no cable, the never let her go to parties or experience the normal teenage life. She has a fear of wild life and well pretty much of everything. One day after she finally has come to terms with her big feet her mother sees this as a sign. A sign that she the mother needs to live her life. So she just leaves to join a retreat in Utah. Tess father follows not to long after leaving Tess in the care of her really cool grandma. Tess starts seeing a boy named Ben. But Ben thinks she is diabetic when she is actually not. Her best friend Zena ( how cool is that name?) has a mental break down and has deiced to blow up a poodle.


This book is about Tess dealing with her family and best friend going crazy along with losing her v card to her first love. I could never really connect with Tess. The only time I really got excited in the book is when she mentions Portland Oregon being a democratic freedom or as one of freedoms major hubs. As this is my home town I loved that part. The rest though....I just didn't feel it. Usually when I end a book I have a feeling of wanting to read the next in the series or if that is the only one I'm left with some since of a strong feeling. This left me nothing but wondering if Ben ever calls her and being really glad that I checked it out from the library.

I rate this book as a D+ or C-. Check it out from the library if you want to read it.

New to this

I have never blogged in my life. So this whole process is new to me. I doubt anyone will actually read this let alone follow it. My plan is to blog reviews about books. I'm sure there will be times that I will go on an rant about something other then books but this is my plan thus far. We will see how it goes. If I end up just writing to my self the so be it!
