A new student review of The Kissing Booth

This book was so good!

Sure, it has its issues like any book does. There were a few mistakes here and there with grammar, and some British slang was used, but the content made up for any of that. Personally, I like my books with a perfectly happy ending all wrapped up with a nice little bow on top. But Beth Reekles' The Kissing Booth definitely made its way onto my list of favorite books.

Noah Flynn is by far the best book character I've read about in years. Most romance books have "the guy," the guy who is so perfect it's just unrealistic. Thankfully, Beth Reekles did not give us "the guy." She gave us Noah. He is over-protective, way too jealous, a violence junkie, and a major jerk sometimes; but that is what made him perfect. <3

I was also quite happy that the author didn't make The Kissing Booth into your typical clishe romance. She kept it original. It had flirting, teasing, the BEST of friends, great characters, and it was just an all around great read. 

In a sense, it was perfect. <3

I'm definitely looking forward to many more books by Beth Reekles.

A new student review of Gingersnap

I like this book because I found the plot full of unexpected surprises.  It appeared to be clear and interesting at the same time.  I liked reading about the characters because they seemed very realistic.  Jayna had a strong-willed nature, which gave her a fun personality.  The ghost made the book exciting to read because I couldn’t tell when it would come back.  The turtle was a cute character to add in.  She was an exotic choice.  I enjoyed it tons, and I hope whoever reads it likes it too.  I recommend it for anyone 9+.

Maggie can make anyone tell the truth so everyone is afraid of her. So she starts throwing herself at any boy. This is a great book. This book is a story of how truth can scare people away and with a teenage girl it is not hard to go too far to just be noticed. I would recommend it to mature upper teen girls. I honestly think that i should have waited to read this book till im older.

A new student review of Ruby Redfort Take Your Last Breath

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

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

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.
