The Lonely Hearts Club
By Elizabeth Eulberg; Point

Summary:

Penny is sick of boys and sick of dating, so she vows: No more. Shes had one too many bad dates, and has been hurt by one too many bad boys. Penny thinks she might be crazy for swearing off boys--but soon a few other girls are inspired, and a movement is born. Girls are soon thronging to The Lonely Hearts Club (named after Sgt. Peppers band), and Penny finds herself near legendary for her non-dating ways which is too bad, since the leader of The Lonely Hearts Club has found a certain boy she cant help but like.

What the Author has to Say About it:

 

My Review: I really enjoyed this book.  It was one of those pick me ups that I was needing at this time. I loved her ties of the Beatles music that she imported into this book. It really brought this story to life. I L.O.L through this entire story. Penny and her best friends cracked me up. The Lonely Hearts Club really draws you in and you learn about the importance of friendship and how to get rid of those stupid boys in your life. It was an excellent read!


Things to Watch Out For: Language, partying, stupid jocks, intimacy, and some fighting.

the short second life of bree tanner

Warning: only read this if you've read all the Twilight series


the short second life of bree tanner:an eclipse novella
By Stephanie Meyer;Little Brown   (178pgs)

Summary:
Bree Tanner can hardly remember her life before she became a vampire. All Bree knows is that living with her fellow newborns has certainties and even rules: watch your back, don't draw attention to yourself, and above all, make it home by sunrise or die. But what she doesn't know is that her immortal life is slowly coming to an end.

Bree finds a friend in Diego, a newborn who is just as curious as Bree about their mysterious creator. They come to realized that the newborns are pawns in a game, Bree and Diego must choose sides and decide whom to trust. But when everything you know about vampires is based on a life, how do you find the truth?

My Review: Stephanie Meyer has done it again! She has totally and completely drawn me into a world of vampires, romance, and excitement! I really loved reading the other point of view of the Newborns. It gave me a better insight to both kinds of vampires in the twilight series.  I especially loved Bree Tanner's point of view! Her curiosity and courage to find the truth really impressed me and I loved reading about her. I came to love her as much as I love the other twilight characters. I must say that the newborns were so clueless when it came to being vampires. Just throwing that out there. But overall I  highly highly recommend it! That is if you read the other series first.

What to Watch Out For: Violence, Blood, Vampires, killings, fighting, and some sensual stuff.

A House of Night: Marked

Marked
By P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast; Saint Martins Griffin

Summary: Zoey Redbird is 16 years old when she gets Marked. She enters the House of Night standing out. She has been Marked as special by the vampire goddess Nyx. Zoey discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the schools elite club, is using her Goddess-given gifts in a wrong way. Zoey must find courage within herself to embrace her destiny.

My Review:I'm not quite sure what I think of this series quite yet. I'm not the biggest fan of the language in this book. The story line on the other hand, is intriguing. The powers and rituals really draw you in. The prayers to the goddess Nyx are worded beautifully.  The characters really add to the story. Erik who is drop dead gorgeous.Stevie Rae who is a  twangy country girl. And Zoey Redbird who is a good person who wants to change things for the better.  So over all I think it is an ok book.


Things to Watch Out For: Extreme use of  Language, Sexual Acts, Bullying, Drinking, Partying, Violence.
