A new student review of Ruby Redfort Take Your Last Breath

TaurielOfMirkwood posted a new student review of Ruby Redfort Take Your Last Breath . See the full review.

It was a totally awesome book! It kept me on the edge of my seat. The storyline is great, but it was kind of a repeat from the last book. It had some hilarious lines in it, along with some interesting facts that I had no idea about. Also, there are some pages in the back explaining some codes used in the book, which I thought was cool.

A new student review of Chosen at Nightfall

RavenWing posted a new student review of Chosen at Nightfall . See the full review.

This is a spectacular ending in a five book series. Let me stress series. Even though you could just pick this book up and start reading it, I advise against it. There is a lot of history and relationships the whole series has created. Starting from the first book will benefit you, and if I do say so myself, I think the first book is the best.

For those who have been following this series all along, wow. This is a must read to end the series, though it is sad. I can see why you’d hesitate, Kylie finally picks someone! You spend the whole book going back and forth between the guys, but if you know Kylie, you’ll figure out who she’ll pick in the end pretty quickly. Though, I must admit the choices are not very good. One cheated on her, while the other got married to someone else behind her back. Basically, both cheated on her.

Anyways, this is a great read. The ups and downs that come along with C.C. Hunter keep you thoroughly entertained and unable to put it down. Now, for this review, it sounds like a paranormal romance, right? Wrong. This book has comedy, action, adventure, fantasy, and, of course, a dash of romance. Really, it’s a good book for anyone to read, but I encourage you start from the first book in the series, Born at Midnight by C.C. Hunter.

A new student review of Dead Things

kanati posted a new student review of Dead Things . See the full review.

Stephen Blackmoore's Dead Things is a paranormal thriller that keeps you hanging on every word.  Set in the dark world of vengeful spirits and horrifing power, Dead Things is nearly impossible to put down, and it keeps you guessing until the last word. Eric Carter is your classic anti-hero, bad boy with a heart off gold who makes all the wrong choices for all the right reasons. Dead Things by Stephen Blackmoore is a great read with lots off action and suspense topped with ghostly magic that ties it all together. I would suggest this book to anyone 16 and up looking for an exciting read.

A new student review of Promises To Keep

sabol posted a new student review of Promises To Keep . See the full review.

Promises to Keep is an action packed book, full of intrigue and adventure. If the fanciful world Amelia Atwater-Rhodes created does not draw you in, then the compelling hero Jay certainly will.  This book was a quick read, never ceasing to bore me. I would caution that this book is part of a series and there are certain terms and names that may be confusing, but the author explains them with enough depth while not taking too much away from the actual story.  I would suggest this novel to anyone who is looking for an easy, summer read. Overall I would say Promises to Keep is a book worth keeping.

A new student review of Finders Keepers? A True Story in India

sisto8 posted a new student review of Finders Keepers? A True Story in India . See the full review.

This book is a great book for one to read to a young child.  It is written for young children to understand and enjoy.  My sisters like it because of the fun activity in the back.  Older children can have fun learning some Indian words.  I liked it because the book makes you feel like you are the main character and looking at the things the characters are looking at.  I recommend it for kids 5+.

A new student review of Faelorehn: Otherworld Trilogy (Book One) by Jenna Elizabeth Johnson

Rainbow Shard posted a new student review of Faelorehn: Otherworld Trilogy (Book One) by Jenna Elizabeth Johnson. See the full review.

Beginning to read Faelorehn gave me the impression that I was stepping into a world made of shadow.  I was pulled into the dark setting of Meghan’s life.  I very much enjoyed the irony of one of Meghan’s friends being a Celtic pagan of a sort, and then having Meghan’s reality become the Celtic myths.  I also loved Fergus, a dog with white fur and reddish ears who accompanies Cade.  I’ve always enjoyed mythology of any sort, and love books which involve Norse and Celtic myths in particular (Greek, Roman, and Eygptian myths steal the spotlight far too often.  Not that they aren’t enjoyable).  Meghan is maybe just another teenager with problems she doesn’t know how to deal with, but I appreciated her quiet inner strength.  A dark, romantic, and thoroughly enthralling book, I would recommend Faelorehn to any teen with a love of dark fantasy.

A new student review of Five Summers by Una LaMarche

calicool123 posted a new student review of Five Summers by Una LaMarche. See the full review.

If I had to chose a book to read again, it definitely would be Five Summers because it wasn't the typical book you pull of the shelf. The way the book was set up kept you interested because it wasn't just one time, it was multiple. The plot was very relatable because it delt with boy drama and friendship and other things we all go through. Five Summers is definitely a book I will recommend to my friends.

A new student review of Uses for Boys

kaiyle posted a new student review of Uses for Boys . See the full review.

I personally did not like this book that much.  I thought it was slow and the main turning point of the book with Sam didn’t come until more than halfway through the book.  I find the characters as well as the style of the book interesting, but I wouldn’t recommend to very many people.

A new student review of Agent Colt Shore: Domino 29

Hickey posted a new student review of Agent Colt Shore: Domino 29 . See the full review.

I loved this book. I thought it was full of interesting facts about cars and other machines. I had my phone beside me looking up all of the assorted machines in this book. I thought the author did a great job writing a page turner. I could barely put the book down at night. The best part was the counting down of the dominoes as the book started. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes action/ adventure books.

A new student review of Garden Princess by Kristin Kladstrup

PrincessLeiaAayla posted a new student review of Garden Princess by Kristin Kladstrup. See the full review.

Kristin Kladstrup is a very good writer and gives awesome descriptions. You can even feel how the characters feel and see everything as though you're looking through their eyes. As there is in all good books, this story has a villain and a hero. This book even has a twist of magic. Overall, this is a very good book, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves princesses, gardens, and magic.
