Fight....Fight....Fight!!!!




Hunted
by P.C. and Kristin Cast




Blood is overall as Zoey fights for her and her friends life. As boys come into the picture, does it affect Zoey's better judgement. She fights for everything and finds out that everything can be okay but at what cost. Will she die or survive.


This book was action packed and I literally love this book. It never lost sight of the plot. There is always parts in the book that it gets a little boring. It was intesting.




*I highly recommend this book.

Zoey.........Lose Control???


Untamed
by P.C. and Kristin Cast


Well when everything goes wrong at least Zoey Redbird has her friends and Aphrodite, ofcourse. Zoey is always the catch at the school for drama. What will happen when Eric comes back to House of Night School and when a new boy changes Zoey's mind and action on things.

This book was really good. It didn't have so much action that you got lost in it and it wasn't borin. You could clearly understand the main parts in the book and I thought it was fabulous. The only part I really didn't like was at the end it should have gone on but the authors left us to wait for the next book to know it Zoey survives.


*I highlly recommend this book.

Sometimes Being Special Comes at a Price


Chosen
by P.C. and Kristin Cast


Zoey Redbird finds serious dirt on a certain vampyre that has a high status on vampyres and fledgings. Does this information danger her and her friends lives or does it just make things more intresting. She also finds information that could make life a whole lot more complicated. As all this is going on, will she lose friendships that mean the most to her.

This book was good but it restates information from the previous book that we really didn't need to know because it we like the series then we would have read the other books. The book was well written and was very intreating to read. The worst part of the book was when the authors lost sight of the plot of the story and it made the book really hard to understand.

Betrayal is Harsh











Betrayed

By P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast


Zoey is betrayed and betrays others. The questions is when will the betrayal stop. She seeks to hold everything in the palm of her hand and ends up losing more than she can handle. Does It Begin to Be too Much for Zoey Redbird?
The book has it's lows and it highs but it gets sort of boring or you might even say that you get lost with how much action there is. Yes, action is good but there is a point where to much action can make you lose sight of the plot and eventually get lost in where you are in the story. What also bothers me is when they restate alot information from the previous books. Rhich makes it agrivationg because if the reader really liked the book then they would have read the previous books.








The Begining of the End


Marked

by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast


As Zoey Redbird is going through a change, she can't help but mix old feelings with new. She stresses the higher importants of exposing a girl who is bad and sometimes does not following there goddess, Nyx. When she discovers she has special powers it only get worse.



P.C. Cast and her daughter, Kristin Cast show a great level of originality and creativity, as they write this adventurous story. They seem to have well developed characters with a plot that is out of this world. I especially love how the use refrences outside of the book such as Dracula, Paris Hilton, and etc.


*I highly recommend thid book.

"Need a haircut, Greaser"


The Ousiders


by S.E Hinton




This book was about two social orders the Soc and the Greasers. The social orders were all about money. They settled there differences by beating on each other. One day, a grease went to far, and as he struggled to make things right he almost killed him and two of his friends. Does it ever get better or will he live with this, through the rest of his life.
I felt this book was descriptive and showed a understanding of how social orders can effect a community in present, past, and future civiliztions. Hinton built up the characters on a level that everyone could understand and he showed a vast knowledge for the plot of his story.
*I highly recommed this book!

Do or Die



Bliss


by Lauren Myracle




Crestview Academy seemed perfect to the newcomer Bliss, but full of promises too. This is where she wanted to make friends that she was never able to make on the commune. Bliss soon finds out that friendship can get complicated, especially when one friendship causes her loss and guilt. As she loses everything, does she lose herself? As she suffers going through high school, talking to boys, and other teen problems, when will she be able to take a breathe.
I felt that this book was really good. Although the plot was addictive, she had ended the book with a lot of unanswered questions. Myracle had developed the characters and the scenes well and was descriptive enough that you didn't get lost in to what she was saying.



*I recommend this book to any reader.
