<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">High in his attic bedroom, twelve-year-old David mourns the death of his mother, with only the books on his shelf for company. But those books have begun to whisper to him in the darkness. Angry and alone, he takes refuge in his imagination and soon finds that reality and fantasy have begun to meld. While his family falls apart around him, David is violently propelled into a world that is a strange reflection of his own -- populated by heroes and monsters and ruled by a faded king who keeps his secrets in a mysterious book, The Book of Lost Things.</span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: #c1bddd; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Isn't that first line wonderful? Does it sent chills down your spine like it did with me? I heard so much good reviews on it too about how wonderful it was and how creepy it is..but...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The book moved so freaking slooow, it had a lot of fillers chapters right after the main events and I had to stop reading for a while. Now listen to my rants about this book. It will be quick.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This book is written like an better version of a children' book, meaning that Connolly have a pretty average writing style....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The plot didn't really picked up until like the middle of the book and even then, you have to read a few more pages to actually get into it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yes, I got into the book around 61% of the book or maybe it was 70%, but as soon as it hit around there, the pacing picked up and there were a lot more actions. I enjoyed it a bit more than I did the first few pages, however I will repeat myself. Those first few pages lowered my hopes for this book. I guess it is different for some people, but I like it when it have a bit of a fast pace, so this book made me yawn a few times even if I do relate to David and his reaction to his mother's death in the beginning..that was pretty much it...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">HOWEVER.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It got interesting after and the pacing quickened up and there was actions....but it was so plotless and so boring still.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yeah...I really have nothing to say about this book. It was alright. Nothing exciting or amazing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But I think almost alll the characters were a bit interesting especially the Crooked Man, he was a creeper.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But this book get a little plus for not killing one of my favorite characters and I liked the ending, it was really REAL, no I love the ending so much! It just made it worth the book in the end for me ;)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">The fifty contestants in the Miss Teen Dream pageant thought this was going to be a fun trip to the beach, where they could parade in their state-appropriate costumes and compete in front of the cameras. But sadly, their airplane had another idea, crashing on a desert island and leaving the survivors stranded with little food, little water, and practically no eyeliner. What's a beauty queen to do? Continue to practice for the talent portion of the program - or wrestle snakes to the ground? Get a perfect tan - or learn to run wild? And what should happen when the sexy pirates show up?</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">I read this book last year and I finally want to write a review for it. First of all, the cover made me smile slightly, I don't know why. Maybe it is the armor of lipsticks. But I felt like for this kind of book, it doesn't really fit that well.. Anyways! It was a good book about girls who landed in a unknown island. Enemies became friends. Friends became enemies. The plot was a bit too slow for my taste and when the pirates came, I was like "Oh, finally!" There was romance, but it was mostly about surviving in a desert island. So of course some of the girls couldn't make it out. I really like the writer's way of writing even if it was too slow and steady for my taste. Honestly, I expect more survival and maybe more fights. Oh maybe it was just me. By the time I finish it, I just put it aside. It didn't change my life. It is one of the first book I read that I like, but it didn't left a big impact on me. It is still a good book and I recommend it to readers that likes slow and steady writing. :)</span></span></div>

<div style="color: #666666;">
<span id="freeText5079299756843427416" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On Lily Sanderson’s eighteenth birthday she’ll become just a girl—still a mergirl, true, but signing the renunciation will ink Princess Waterlily of Thalassinia out of existence. That leaves plain old Lily living on land, dating the boy she loves, and trying to master this being-human thing once and for all. <br />
<br />
Now that Lily and Quince are together, mer bond or not, she’s almost content to give up her place in the royal succession of Thalassinia. But just when she thinks she has everything figured out, the waves start to get rough. Lily’s father sends a certain whirlpool-stirring cousin to stay with her on land. What did Doe do to get herself exiled from Thalassinia and stuck in terraped form, when everyone knows how much she hates humans? And why why why is she batting her eyelashes at Lily’s former crush, Brody? <br />
<br />
The seafoam on the raging surf comes when a merboy from Lily’s past shows up—Tellin asks Lily for something that clouds her view of the horizon. There’s a future with Quince on land, her loyalty to the kingdom in the sea, and Lily tossing on the waves in the middle. Will she find a way to reconcile her love, her duty, and her own dreams?</span><br />
<br />
<div style="color: black; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Lily and Quince is back and as a couple!</span><span style="font-size: small;"> Yeah, I been really lazy with reviewing books lately and I am sorry for that! So anyways, like I was saying the two are back and is loving a good life as a couple and then boom! A huge earthquake hit the city and her fashionable human-hating cousin, Dosinia got exiled and was focused to stay with Lily! Oh, there is more, Lily's childhood mer-friend, Tellin (What an interesting name!) shows up and kind of make her think about two things. I hope I will not spoil anything :D. She have to choose to save a dying kingdom or stay with her love?</span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">Personally, I feel like the way Doe got exiled was kind of predictable, so that bring my ratting down a bit, but it was still a good book. For Brody and Doe, it was just like attraction at first sight and I think that their romance moved a bit too fast for my taste. But Doe definitely is my favorite female character, she just know how to make Lily mad and it is hilarious to read as Lily takes not to stab her cousin or something like that.</span></div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">But really, this book isn't about romance, it is more about her responsibility with a side dish of love. Lily have to choose and that is mostly about that! But at the end, I was really surprised at what Quince did and it was so sweet. Those two are adorable together.</span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 21px;">For conclusion, <i>Fins Are Forever</i> is still a summer book like <i>Forgive My Fins</i>, but it is a bit more about her role than the sweet and pure romance.</span></span></div>

Unrequited love is hard enough when you’re a normal teenage girl, but when you’re half human, half mermaid like Lily, there’s no such thing as a simple crush. Lily’s mermaid identity is a secret that can’t get out, since she’s not just any mermaid – she’s a Thalassinian princess. When Lily found out three years ago that her mother was actually a human, she finally realized why she didn’t feel quite at home in Thalassinia, and she’s been living on land and going to Seaview high school ever since, hoping to find where she truly belongs. Sure, land has its problems – like her obnoxious, biker boy neighbor Quince Fletcher – but it has that one major perk – Brody. The problem is, mermaids aren’t really the casual dating type – when they “bond,” it’s for life. When Lily’s attempt to win Brody’s love leads to a tsunami-sized case of mistaken identity, she is in for a tidal wave of relationship drama, and she finds out, quick as a tailfin flick, that happily-ever-after never sails quite as smoothly as you planned.</span></span></div>

A light, can be funny book about half-mermaid, Lily who have always been in love with Brody Bennett.

<span id="freeText1146688068265893021" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Violet Eden is dreading her seventeenth birthday dinner. After all, it’s hard to get too excited about the day that marks the anniversary of your mother’s death. The one bright spot is that Lincoln will be there. Sexy, mature and aloof, he is Violet’s idea of perfection. But why does he seem so reluctant to be anything more than a friend? </span><br />

But there’s no denying the strange changes in her body ... and her feelings for Lincoln. Suddenly, she can’t stand to be around him. Luckily, Phoenix, an exiled angel, has come into her life. He’s intense and enigmatic, but at least he never lied to her. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> As a headstrong and practical New Yorker, Skylar Thornton doesn’t believe in the supernatural until she moves into Summerwind Mansion. Her hope for serenity and a new home is soon eclipsed by haunting dreams of another young woman murdered in the house. She suspects there’s something strange about this place and it’s not just the bad dreams—or her uncontrollable attraction to the former owner, Dorian Knight. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Dorian seems so achingly familiar and as close to Mr. Darcy as she’ll ever get. Expect Jane Austen never wrote a hero like him—someone who both excites and frightens her. Determined to unlock secrets that have remained hidden for centuries, Skylar is plunged into an otherworldly mystery that not even she can explain away after her uncle mysteriously dies in the house. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When the dark history of the Knight family begins to unravel, tensions heighten, and old resentments turn deadly. Even though Dorian warns Skylar about a terrible curse—she still doesn’t know who or what to believe. But just as Dorian tries to tell Skylar the awful truth, his darkest secrets are finally revealed—putting their lives in terrible danger. Now Skylar starts to wonder which she would rather hold on to—her sanity…or her life?</span></div>

When a visit to the Tower of London triggers an overwhelmingly real vision of a beheading that occurred centuries before, Cole Ryan fears she is losing her mind. A mysterious boy, Griffon Hall, comes to her aid, but the intensity of their immediate connection seems to open the floodgate of memories even wider. <br />
<br />
As their feelings grow, Griffon reveals their common bond as members of the Akhet—an elite group of people who can remember past lives and use their collected wisdom for the good of the world. But not all Akhet are altruistic, and a rogue is after Cole to avenge their shared past. Now in extreme danger, Cole must piece together clues from many lifetimes. What she finds could ruin her chance at a future with Griffon, but risking his love may be the only way to save them both. <br />
<br />
Full of danger, romance, and intrigue, Transcendence breathes new life into a perpetually fascinating question: What would you do with another life to live?</span></div>

Far from it. The king's needs grow deeper every day he's stuck in captivity, while his control over his people gets weaker. It's made him vulnerable. And now there's a new king in town.<br />
<br />
A turf war is imminent, since the new pixie king, Astley, is moving in quickly. Nick nearly killed him in the woods on day one, but Zara came to his rescue. Astley swears that he and Zara are destined to be together, that he's one of the good guys. Nick isn't buying it, though Zara isn't as sure -- despite herself, she wants to trust the new king. But it's a lot more than her relationship with Nick that is at stake. It's her life -- and his. </span></span><br />

It really looks like she is crying a drop of golden tear. I don't know why, but I think it is just weird. Okay, enough of my cover ranting, Lets go to the story. There is a new pixie king in the story. The "hot, handsome, mysterious, charming" Astley who make Zara feels like she can trust him and have a "connection". Straight of all, I don't like how a guy would just come in and expect that the girl is his or that they are "destined to be together" even if Zara is a bit oo bossy for my taste. All of the sudden, a hot pixie dude come into the story. and almost everyone like forget all about Nick and start swooning for Astley. (I have seen it on Goodreads, it is just my opinion, remember.) Sure, he is hot, but he still don't have that love that Zara and Nick have since the first book. Okay, I do like Astley because he is very cool... that is about it. There is so going to be a love triangle just like in <i>Twilight.</i></span></span><br />

<span id="freeText15158202786653092875" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Zara White suspects there's a freaky guy semi-stalking her. She's also obsessed with phobias. And it's true, she hasn't exactly been herself since her stepfather died. But exiling her to shivery Maine to live with her grandmother? That seems a bit extreme. The move is supposed to help her stay sane...but Zara's pretty sure her mom just can't deal with her right now.</span><br />

<span id="freeText15158202786653092875" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She couldn't be more wrong. Turns out the semi-stalker is not a figment of Zara's overactive imagination. In fact, he's still following her, leaving behind an eerie trail of gold dust. There's something not right - not human - in this sleepy Maine town, and all signs point to Zara.</span><br />

It is just okay just as this is an okay book. Zara irritates me at times, sh is very pushy and is like "I don't believe this blah blah blah!" A real drama queen in my mind. But Nick, he is a dreamer. I love him so much. He is sweet, charming and cute. The only thing I like about this book is the couple, they are adorable! The writing is okay, I really like how she is like obsessed with phobias, it is pretty interesting. The action was not heart racing or anything like that. But there was action with pixies and little surprises. That is all I can say about the book. It is okay as the cover, a bit dull,but not boring. I did stop a few times, but I finished it. :) </span></span></div>

Determined to find her brother, with or without Jack’s help, Jenny struggles to navigate a faerie world where nothing is what it seems, no one is who they say, and she’s faced with a choice between salvation or sacrifice—and not just her own</span></div>

But everything begins to change when she turns sixteen. Along with her best friend Dante and their quiet and brilliant classmate Lance, she is awarded a prestigious internship in the big city— Chicago—and is sent to live and work at a swanky and stylish hotel under the watchful eyes of a group of gorgeous and shockingly young-looking strangers: powerful and alluring hotel owner Aurelia Brown; her second-in-command, the dashing Lucian Grove; and their stunning but aloof staff of glamazons called The Outfit. </span></span></div>

Will they succeed in wooing Haven to join them in their recruitment efforts, or will she be able to thwart this devilish set’s plans to take the souls of her classmates on prom night at the hotel?</span></span></div>

She is kind-of dating Jessica’s ex-boyfriend, Chase, and Jessica did pull a nasty prank on Trinity. Revenge seems like the likeliest scenario.Nothing prepares Trinity for the dark odyssey that ensues while searching for Jessica, including the surprising romance she finds with Chase, or the shocking truths she learns, not just about the girl who has gone missing, but the past that has been hidden from her.</span></div>

Each day she goes to school like a normal teenager, and each night she must swim, or the pain will be unbearable. She is a siren - a deadly mermaid destined to lure men to their watery deaths. After a terrible tragedy, Lexi shut herself off from the world, vowing to protect the ones she loves. But she soon finds herself caught between a new boy at school who may have the power to melt her icy exterior, and a handsome water spirit who says he can break Lexi's curse if she gives up everything else. Lexi is faced with the hardest decision she's ever had to make: the life she's always longed for - or the love she can't live without?</span></span></div>

<span class="tagline">I simply love this book, not only because it's about Sirens, but also have a sweet romance and the lesson of letting go of someone you love dearly. I really love listening and being in Lexi's life. How she met Steven and his best friend, Cole, then to her drowning him. How she have to swim, so she don't hurt anyone, but found someone by her lake. It was a beautifully written book and I love Cole and Lexi together. I love Cole and how he have always loved her, but didn't say anything because she was in love with his best friend, This story is just like a love story. I really love it.There is some parts that can make you want to punch that pretty face of her and screamed, but it was a good book. Cole was the best, always chasing her, loving her and her finally letting go of her love and of her curse.</span></div>

After all, she is one. Jaz is the result of a onenight stand between a black football player and a blonde princess. Having a young mother who didn't raise her, a father who wants nothing to do with her and living in a small-minded town where she's never fit in hasn't been easy. But she's been surviving. Until she sees her mom's new boyfriend making out with her own best friend. When do you forgive people for being human or give up on them forever?</span></span></div>

The money will be enough to pay for Jo’s dream: real photography classes, and maybe even quitting her paparazzi gig for good. Everyone wants to know what Ned’s in for. But Jo certainly doesn’t know what she’s in for: falling in love with Ned was never supposed to be part of her assignment.</span></span></span></div>

In a dangerous game and with his life on the line, Cassel may have to make his biggest gamble yet—this time on love.</span></span></span></div>

Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out. When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past.

But her gaiety is interrupted by disturbing, dreamlike visions she has only at sunset—visions that offer glimpses of the future. Soon, friends and strangers alike call on Amelia to hear her prophecies. However, a forbidden romance with Nathaniel, an artist, threatens the new life Amelia is building in Baltimore. This enigmatic young man is keeping secrets of his own—still, Amelia finds herself irrepressibly drawn to him.</span></span></div>

And those around her begin to wonder if she’s not the seer of dark portents, but the cause.</span></span></div>

<span class="tagline" style="font-size: xx-small; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;"><br />

<span class="tagline" style="line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif;">Okay, this book was so confusing! I love Amelia and her visions. I love the author's details, but it was all so confusing. I got lost like in the first few pages and had to read it again and that rarely happens. The pace was painfully slow for like half of the book. The confusion and the slowness, I would give that part two stars.</span></span></div>

I really like the main character, Amelia. She is definitely crazy, a madwoman, but that is why she's so interesting and her attachment to the handsome Nathaniel who a man that is perfect for Amelia, the first man in a book that I don't want for myself.</span></span></span></div>

Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris - until she meets Etienne St. Clair: perfect, Parisian (and English and American, which makes for a swoon-worthy accent), and utterly irresistible. The only problem is that he's taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her almost-relationship back home. </span></span></div>

I think I am one of the last people that just finally finished reading <i>Anna and the French Kiss.</i> Ekk, so embarrassing! <///< So anyways.. the other reviews on this book are mostly right. It's so romance, it makes my heart beat and Stephanie's writing is fantastic! Anna is an interesting and funny main character, she is like the perfect voice for this book and Etienne, Aah the hottie, The English/French/American. Of course there have to be a hottie to get the main character's attention. Etienne can be so sweet, but sometimes he does the most simplest things that make people hurt inside like staying with Ellie for like most of the book! Oh please even we know that he loves Anna. This is one of the most romantic and funniest book I have ever read. The cover is so simple, so if someone didn't recommend it, I wouldn't have read it. I know, I know! Never judge a book by its cover, but so much amazing books have ah-amazing covers! Anyways this is the book for the people that want a good read from the City of Light and the strangest thing is that I am taking French right now hehe.</span></span></div>

His attention is intense and romantic, and Ellie feels like her soul has known him for centuries. On her seventeenth birthday, on a dark street at midnight, Will awakens Ellie's power, and she knows that she can fight the creatures that stalk her in the grim darkness. Only Will holds the key to Ellie's memories, whole lifetimes of them, and when she looks at him, she can no longer pretend anything was just a dream. </span><br />

This paranormal murder mystery will have teens reading on the edge of their seats. Clarity "Clare" Fern sees things. Things no one else can see. Things like stolen kisses and long-buried secrets. All she has to do is touch a certain object, and the visions come to her. It's a gift. And a curse. When a teenage girl is found murdered, Clare's ex-boyfriend wants her to help solve the case - but Clare is still furious at the cheating jerk. Then Clare's brother - who has supernatural gifts of his own - becomes the prime suspect, and Clare can no longer look away. Teaming up with Gabriel, the smoldering son of the new detective, Clare must venture into the depths of fear, revenge, and lust in order to track the killer. But will her sight fail her just when she needs it most?</span></span></div>

She can’t sleep, she’s covered in veiny red “lightning scars,” and repeated strikes have even stopped her heart on occasion. Still, Mia can’t resist a storm. That's why Los Angeles, where it never rains, is the perfect place for her to find peace . . . until a massive earthquake devastates the city. </span></span></div><div><span class="tagline"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

The beaches have become massive tent cities populated by millions of homeless. Downtown is a wasteland, where a traveling party moves to a different empty building each night, the attendees drawn to the destruction by a magnetic force they cannot deny. </span></span></div><div><span class="tagline"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div><span class="tagline"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The blind prophet of a doomsday cult called the Church of Light, who predicted the earthquake with frightening accuracy, says a storm is coming to usher in the end of days, and only his Followers will be saved. Mia’s traumatized mom has become obsessed with the Church of Light, while her younger brother Parker is desperate to join a second doomsday cult called the Seekers. But Mia is the one both cults need. The Seekers are recruiting people with an energy-based power they call the “Spark,” and Mia has it stronger than most. They claim the false prophet of the Church of Light will bring about the end of the world, and they are the only ones who can stand against him. </span></span></div><div><span class="tagline"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
