The Shadow Theives by Anne Ursa;Cronus Chronicles is about Greek gods once gainwith a modern twist. The heros are Charlotte Mielswetski, a fierce red haired eighth grade girl with anger problems; Charlotte's cousin Zachary(Zee) Miller who moves in with the Mielswetskis after shadow were being stolen from children around him in England; and Bartholomew, Charlotte's adopted cat who is revealed to be Zee's deceased grandmother revived and in a different form. Charlotte, Zee, and Bartholomew must descend down into the Underworld ruled by Hades, battle Philonecron(a descendant of Hades), and rescue the shadows of the kids. A good read for any age.

The Vampire Diaries by L. J. Smith

I've read up to The Fury in this series. The main character, Elena Gilbert dies and becomes a vampire, then truly dies. Her close friends; Matt Honeycutt, Meredith Sules, Bonnie McCullough, Stefan Salvatore, Damon Salvatore, and Alaric Saltzman help her hide her being a vampire. Old friends become enemies, forcing Elena to react quickly. Vampires do die in the sunlight. Brothers,Stefan and Damon Salvatore are both vampires transformed by thought to be dead vampire named Kathrine, who is reveled as the enemy. Twilight is more original in some ways. Contains kissing.

The Kane Chronicles: The Red Pyramid

The Red Pyramid

Egyptian fun created by Rick Riordan. Carter and Sadie Kane are the two main characters. Again, gods, animals, humans and godlings are all characters of the story. Magic is a major part of the story. Riordan is supposedly releasing the second book this coming spring. My favorite part was probobly when the cat,Muffin, turns into the Egyptian goddess, Bast. It's my favorite part because Bast protects them through out the rest of the book. Which are you more excited for, TYhe Lost Hero or the next Kane Chronicles?

Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer

After two and a half years of resistance, I actually read the books. I'd gotten it for Christmas 2009 and didn't want to read it. When I began I couldn't put it down. I can relate to Bella, a clumsy, smart 17 year old. The Cullen coven takes interest in her, not as food, but as family. The Quileute wolves also befriend her, and Jacob Black falls for Bella,who still loves Edward Cullen. For people who like romance and action. My favorite character is Alice Cullen , because she is hilarious, friendly, and protective.

Bar Code Tattoo and Bar Code Rebellion by Suzanne Weyn

A law enforces that 17 year olds must get tattoos that contain their entire history(DNA, family, health, etc.). The world changes with this law and tattoos linked to Global-1 infuriate some and help others. Global-1 uses the tattoos to harm, herd, control, and pursue people. +Some friends turn into foes. Trust is almost completely useless with spies and lures lurking about. Clones find out more about themselves. I enjoy the part where KM-6 saves the day. I feel sorry for the clones, all six introduced in the book.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan

Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan is a series containing Greek mythology with a modern twist. He is very accurate on the mythology. My favorite book in the series is book 2, The Sea of Monsters, because old stories build up to the horrid truth and give trust an expanded meaning.

About me
