The Ides of April (Ray, Mary, Roman Empire Sequence.)

By Mary Ray

Peyton M

This book was a very confusing book. If you want a book that is a fast and a easy read, it is not this one. One the other hand, if you want a book about Ancient Rome this one is perfect. It has many historical events and cultural universals that were the same in Rome. It also takes great intrest in the way Romans lived. My opinion of this book it that it was to hard for kids my age to read. I would much rather read a different book on Rome that is more interesting and has pictures. Overall I think this was a good book for older people and that I think kids my age shouldn't read it.

The Hazel Wood

The Hazel Wood

By Melissa Albert

This is honestly a really surreal, beautifully creepy book, and it's now one of my favorites. It has a really amazing, (somewhat dark) plot and storyline. I read it when I was 11, and didn't really appreciate how well thought out the whole thing was. It's definitely for older readers, because it does contain cursing and material for more mature readers. I re-read it recently and picked up on a lot more details that I hadn't seen before, which made the book so much more captivating. I absolutely loved this book.

The Darkdeep

The Darkdeep

By Ally Condie, Brendan Reichs

I received this book on behalf of DOGO Books and was far from disappointed. Penned by the bestselling duo, Ally Condie and Brendan Reichs, The Darkdeep is a thrilling book that kept me up at night just thinking about it. Everyone in the tiny town of Timbers knows that Still Cove is off-limits. Rumors about The Beast, as well as the cove's perpetual fog, is enough to keep everyone far away. But when Nico falls into the cove, it's up to his friends Tyler and Emma - and even his old-friend-who-turned-to-the-dark-side, Opal - to save him. When they reach the bottom of the cove, however, dangerous secrets await. At first, the houseboat and mysterious objects are enthralling, especially the Darkdeep. An ever-swirling, dark mass of water, it turns out to be a portal that can draw thoughts out of your mind and make them real. Emma and the others have the time of their lives letting their imaginations come to life, literally - before dangerous things start happening. Disappearing people, murderous figments...now, it's up to this motley crew to save the town of Timbers from the Darkdeep's dangers before it's too late. I don't usually enjoy horror, but The Darkdeep is so compellingly readable that I couldn't help falling in love with it. Well-paced, invigorating, and deeply terrifying, this is one book I will never forget.

The Angel Experiment (Maximum Ride, Book 1)

The Angel Experiment (Maximum Ride, Book 1)

By James Patterson

I love angels, and when I saw this I was like COOL. So I read it and I loved it. I'm currently on the 5th book I think. Basically, its about a group of kids with wings that escaped an facility were they were being experimented and caged. They are constantly running away from the scientist's guard dudes called Erasers and they take one of the kids. The others try to get her back. In the end they find out something that is unbelievable, and their feelings get all mixed. Its a really good book.

Stolen Children

Stolen Children

By Peg Kehret

Stolen Children by Peg Kehret is one of my new favorite books. Top 5 maybe. The story is realistic fiction. In the story the main character, Amy, is babysitting for the Edgerton's. The Edgerton’s are very orderly. On Amy’s first day of work after she sets Kendra to sleep, she accidentally falls asleep by the pool. While she is sleeping, two guys with a gun show up and kidnap Kendra. Amy wakes up in time to find Kendra in the back of the car. Amy then runs in the house to call the police. One of the guys points a gun at Amy, then kidnaps her too. I wonder why Amy doesn’t signal anything to the people they pass on the freeway. I really liked the part where Amy and Kendra “ran away”. I think that Amy shouldn’t have stayed where she was when she heard the car. She should have grabbed Kendra and ran. Then, when she knew for sure that they were being chased she should camoflage themselves. I have Also read Abandoned also by Peg Kehret. It was also a very good book my brother tried to steal both of the books. (He only succeeded in stealing one). I think that it is a book most people should read. I typically HATE mysteries. I picked up that one and couldn’t put it down. It was so suspenseful. Go Peg Kehret!

Bodyguard: Hostage (Book 2)

Bodyguard: Hostage (Book 2)

By Chris Bradford

A satisfying pick up from the cliffhanger the last book ended on, this book begin right in the action. We get to see Connor develop further as well as the First Daughter. This book brought me to unexpected tears at times as well as proud and patriotic. I loved the alternate present it provided with President Mendez. Told through multiple POVs, the conclusion to his first mission pulled together in a gratifying bam. The book hardly slows down and tears through scenes. The writing is easy and to the point, although there is a fair amount of violence. I finished this book in a few hours. A fun, exhilarating summer read.
