WOW: Shadow Hills

Shadow Hills by Anastasia Hopcus

Release Date: July 13th 2010

good reads:

His love captivated her... his secrets might kill her.

Since her sister’s mysterious death, Persephone “Phe” Archer has been plagued by a series of disturbing dreams. Determined to find out what happened to her sister, Phe enrolls at Devenish Prep in Shadow Hills, Massachusetts—the subject of her sister’s final diary entry.

After stepping on campus, Phe immediately realizes that there’s something different about this place—an unexplained epidemic that decimated the town in the 1700s, an ancient and creepy cemetery, and gorgeous boy Zach—and somehow she’s connected to it all.

But the more questions she asks and the deeper she digs, the more entangled Phe becomes in the haunting past of Shadow Hills. Finding what links her to this town…might cost her her life.

Waiting on Wednesday- Halo by Alexandra Adornetto

From Good reads:
Three angels are sent down to bring good to the world: Gabriel, the warrior; Ivy, the healer; and Bethany, a teenage girl who is the least experienced of the trio. But she is the most human, and when she is romantically drawn to a mortal boy, the angels fear she will not be strong enough to save anyone—especially herself—from the Dark Forces.

Is love a great enough power against evil?


release date: September 14th 2010

First of all the cover is beautiful, and despite what people say a beautiful cover does help alot. Most of all I want this book because I'm a sucker for forbidden love and that this author was only 13 years old when she got published, that is an amazing thing. very inspiring, can't wait to read this

This weeks Teaser Tuesday comes from City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

Where's Simon?" Clary Interupted.

Isabelle wobbled. "He's a rat," she said darkly.

Did he do something to you?" Alec was full of brotherly concern. " Did he touch you? If he tried anything-

"No, Alec," Isabelle said irritably. "Not like that. He's a rat"

Review: The Gardener by S.A.Boden

Mason has never known his father, but longs to. All he has of him is a DVD of a man whose face is never seen, reading a children’s book. One day, on a whim, he plays the DVD for a group of comatose teens at the nursing home where his mother works. One of them, a beautiful girl, responds. Mason learns she is part of a horrible experiment intended to render teenagers into autotrophs—genetically engineered, self-sustaining life-forms who don’t need food or water to survive. And before he knows it, Mason is on the run with the girl, and wanted, dead or alive, by the mysterious mastermind of this gruesome plan, who is simply called the Gardener.


The concept of this book was great. With famine and hunger plaqueing our world its only a matter of time before we run out of food, or so according to the scientist at TroyDyn. The story follows Mason as he tried to save a mysterious girl from something not even he can understand. The story was complelling at times extreamly shocking. I was very suprised by the originality and sciencefiction of this story, and normally I'm not really into science fiction.
