So I have finally hacked into this blog...relax! I am just kidding. I got special permission from Tamara with an important mission; recommend some of the amazing books that I thought many of you would all enjoy.
Many of these books are YA and I have of course read them all, and many of them featuring tons of genres and twists that make you crave more.On with the books:
Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead:
These books introduce a world of vampires in a new and modern way. This book has kept me guessing from page one and I highly recommend it for those who have a fix for action, romance, and of course kick-ass vampires.This is one of those books than you just can't stop reading till you have run out of pages!
Shiver Series by Maggie Stiefvater:
I got the first book while on vacation and I ended up curled up on the couch for hours. It is an easy read but has unexpected characters that take on an unexpected challenge. These books will have you 'howling' for more. (If you didn't really get my joke, it features werewolves.)
Jessica's Guide for Dating on the Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey:
I absolutely love love loved this book! With it's second installment on the way I have been dying to read it again. It is funny, romantic, has some amazing characters, and is amazingly written. For those of you who like their leading ladies with a little bite then I suggest you check this book out.
Jekel Loves Hyde by Beth Fantaskey:
This book had some serious chemistry! It is funny, romantic, and leaves you guessing throughout every page! I love this book and have read it about 4 times! This book was almost an extra helping and features some of the mystery from the original Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story in order to help create the plot.
The Healer's Apprentice by Melanie Dickerson:
I first read this book on my iPod touch and I instantly fell in love. It is based in the time of castles and wizards but is romantic and is told in multiple points of view. It is very loosely based on Sleeping Beauty and has the most gentle of men. If you like books that include damsels not wanting to be saved by the knight in shining armor all the time and evil warlocks then you need to check this book out.
Maximum Ride Series by James Patterson:
I absolutely adore these books! They feature some incredible kids with even more incredible abilities. This series has a strong plot, is funny, modern, and includes some characters to die for! (I should know, I am currently in love with one.) If you like your heroines with a feisty temper then you should already be looking this book up!
Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce:
This book was one I had check out before. When I finally caved in and bought this I was so glad I did! This book had so much action, it was funny, and it had a twist that had me gasping out loud! I highly recommend this for people who enjoy those horrifying twists, killer fights, and sisterly love (you know, the kind that makes you fight werewolves).
Hush, Hush Series by Becca Fitzpatrick:
I have fallen for one of the fallen. I've never really been interested in stories about fallen angels, but boy did I change my mind after this! It is incredibly funny, has a mysterious story, and has you on the edge of your seat...metaphorically. These characters are incredible and I can't wait for the final book coming in October!
Fallen Series by Lauren Kate:
These books were pretty good. I mean I haven't read them 5 or six times like some of the others listed above, but it was worth it! It is insanely mysterious, with even more insane characters, and will have you begging for them to get together! Seriously, I was getting annoyed with these two. But these books are such a good read and will have you warring with yourself to pick a side, Cam or Daniel?!
Choker by Elizabeth Woods:
I admit it, this book had me a little creeped out. But in a good way....that probably doesn't make sense. This book was good but had some seriously weird parts that have you trying to figure out their motives and who was actually capable. I am leaving you hanging here but I recommend this book if you like mysteries, wanna find out what the heck I am talking about, or enjoy books that need to be read in broad daylight or you'll have to sleep with the light on...not that this book does that to you...
Heist Society Series by Ally Carter:
I have saved the best for last. I read the first chapter of this then forced my parents to search the city and pound those bookstores while they were out one night. I have only one word to describe the first book: incredible. Okay I will give you more; this series is funny, featuring some of the most wonderfully sneaky characters, and has some serious cons that will make you wanna watch The Italian Job, but the best thing is that these master con artists that go up against some of the most ruthless foes, are teenagers. Ages fifteen to about twenty-one. So for all you that have ever dreamed of robbing a bank or being like Mark Wahlberg (it's an Italian Job thing) then you have to get this book! Did you know there was a con called The Princess Bride...but you need a man with six fingers.
So, that is just some of the amazing and amazing books that I have read at least twice. I have many recommendations to come and encourage you all to check these out if you ever need a good read. Happy reading!
