There's a difference
between falling
and letting go.

Lauren has a good life: decent grades, great friends, and a boyfriend every girl lusts after. So why is she so unhappy?
It takes the arrival of Evan Kirkland for Lauren to figure out the answer: She's been holding back. She's been denying herself a bunch of things because staying with her loyal and gorgeous boyfriend, Dave, is the "right" thing to do. After all, who would give up the perfect guy?
But as Dave starts talking more and more about their life together, planning a future Lauren simply can't see herself in--and as Lauren's craving for Evan and, moreover, who she is with Evan becomes all the more fierce--Lauren realize she needs to make a choice . . . before one is made for her.

-Hayz's Review-
Oh my gosh, I just finished this last night. And I loved it! 5 stars all the way! I liked this book because it was hard for Lauren to make a choice between Mr. Perfect and Mr. He Makes Me Happy. This book was realistic in every way. Mom leaves, dad hardly home, can't talk to you best friend. All of it, I loved this book! 5 stars for every reason!

Stargazer

Stargazer

By: Claudia Gray
Harper Teen
2009

I kissed Lucas again, more slowly this time.
We held each other tighter, and I started to
wonder how much closer we could get--and
then I remembered what it had felt like when
I drank his blood.

The vampire in me was closer to the surface . . .

Evernight Academy: an exclusive boarding school for the most beautiful, dangerous students of all--vampires. Bianca, born to two vampires has always been told her destiny is to become one of them.
But Bianca fell in love with Lucas-- a vampire hunter sworn to destroy her kind. They were torn apart when his true identity was revealed, forcing him to flee the school.
Although they may be separated, Bianca and Lucas will not give each other up. She will risk anything for the chance to see him again, even if it means coming face-to-face with the vampire hunters of Black Cross--or deceiving the powerful vampires of Evernight. Bianca's secrets will force her to live a life of lies.
Yet Bianca isn't the only one keeping secrets. When Evernight is attacked by an evil force that seems to target her; she discovers the truth she thought she knew is only the beginning. . . .

Carzz's Review
Great book, not my favorite, but still... Okay, so lets see, where to start? What I like about this book (or series) is I think Claudia Gray does a great job at detailing, and all that stuff that makes a good book. I'm not gonna lie, I was totally surprised with the ending, but I still loved it. If you haven't read the series, I suggest you check out the first book, Evernight!

Or is there more to this earnest fresh face than meets the eye?

As human and preternatural forces clash, a deadly love triangle forms and the line between predator and prey begins to blur. Who's playing whom? And how long van Quincie play along before she loses everything?

-Hayz's Review-
I did not like this book. I hated the ending, and well to tell you the truth it was really weird, to weird for me. She is like how old? And she drinks wine?! Like all the time. Um... no. So yes I did not like this book. And I would not recommend it. Or her other book, Eternal.

Swoon
Nina Malkin
2009

Sin is coming . . .
Prepare to swoon.

Torn from her native New York City and dumped in the land of cookie-cutter preps, Candice is resigned to accept her posh, dull fate. Nothing ever happens in Swoon, Connecticut . . . until Dice's perfect, privileged cousin Penelope nearly dies in a fall from an old tree and her spirit intertwines with that of a ghost. His name? Sinclair Youngblood Powers. His mission? Revenge. And while Pen is oblivious to the possession, Dice is all too aware of Sin. She's intensely drawn to him--but not at all crazy about the havoc he's wreaking.
Determined to exorcise the demon, Dice accidentally sets Sin loose, gives him flesh, makes him formidable. Now she must destroy an even more potent--and irresistible--adversary before the whole town succumbs to Sin's will. Only trouble is, she's in love with him.
What do you do when the boy of your dreams is too bad to be true?

-Hayz's Review-
I don't really know what to say about this book, um it was interesting. It was new for me because I haven't ever read anything like it before. Um. . . I wasn't to crazy about it. It got really long. I give it 2 stars because it was okay.
