MY TEASER:
"What is it?" my mother gasped, turning her face against the lavender-scented pillow. "What's wrong?"
Finally, my grandmother answered, her voice full and triumphant. "Your daughter will be one of the most powerful we have ever seen in this family. She will be a beacon for us all."

Nevermore Book Review!

THE PLOT:

Cheerleader Isobel Lanley is horrified when she is paired with Varen Nethers for an English project, which is due—so unfair—on the day of the rival game. Cold and aloof, sardonic and sharp-tongued, Varen makes it clear he’d rather not have anything to do with her either. But when Isobel discovers strange writing in his journal, she can’t help but give this enigmatic boy with piercing eyes another look.

Soon, Isobel finds herself making excuses to be with Varen. Steadily pulled away from her friends and her possessive boyfriend, Isobel ventures deeper and deeper into the dream world Varen has created through the pages of his notebook, a realm where the terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe come to life.

As her world begins to unravel around her, Isobel discovers that dreams, like words, hold more power than she ever imagined and that the most frightening realities are those of the mind. Now she must find a way to reach Varen before he is consumed by the shadows of his own nightmares.  

  His life depends on it.

MY REVIEW:

I love this book. Favorite book I read this year so far. I mean I love Edgar Allan Poe so having a book that's about him and his poems. Ow I was definitely going to read that. And I did and it was awesome. Characters in the book. Um some loved some hated. Like varen I love him like seriously love him. I think he is the first book character I would really really want to be with. And I think that only because I'm like him in ways. I'm gothic. (Yes I love the color black.) My favorite music is rock and I love to read Edgar Allan Poe books. Totally compatible right. Lol. But anyway. Isobel she was awesome. I like her cause she wasn't like her friends she was much nicer.(Ok so I'm going to talk about a part in the book it not really a spoiler. I'm just giving a head up.) Definitely after the ice cream scene I knew she was better. The ice cream scene was my favorite part. It was mean but sweet to. And isobel friends were so immature. I don't get how they could do that to varen. And from that I hated them so stuck up. Isobel friends after that gwen she was cool. I'm glad she was there. I mean someone had to help her with varen. Mikey was so funny. He had me laughing at the thing's he said and did. (Spoiler alert) Not much to say about isobel family. There just a normal all american family. Though it was funny when her dad dress up as Poe. Pinfeather he was awesome the way kelly described him. Even though he act weird and scary at times. Lacy she was very strange to me. Like mysteries to me that you would never quite get to know her. Reynolds he was the same way for me to. Bess I love her. Described with such beauty and elegant. Ow it was so awesome. So that was my review for nevermore. It an amazingly written book. So if you haven't read the book you definitely need to. Like now. Lol. So I'll type you guys later. Bye.

MY TEASER:

"You having a good time?" he asks.

"Super." I grin. "But I was wondering, where are your other dates?"

"My other dates?"

"If I remember correctly, last year you brought three different women to prom. Where's the elusive Miss Allison Lowell?"

"This year I only have eyes for you."

"Good answer." I loop my arms around his neck and sneak in a kiss

For months part-angel Clara Gardner trained to face the raging forest fire from her visions and rescue the alluring and mysterious Christian Prescott from the blaze. But nothing could prepare her for the fateful decisions she would be forced to make that day, or the startling revelation that her purpose—the task she was put on earth to accomplish—is not as straightforward as she thought. Now, torn between her increasingly complicated feelings for Christian and her love for her boyfriend, Tucker, Clara struggles to make sense of what she was supposed to do the day of the fire. And, as she is drawn further into the world of part angels and the growing conflict between White Wings and Black Wings, Clara learns of the terrifying new reality that she must face: Someone close to her will die in a matter of months. With her future uncertain, the only thing Clara knows for sure is that the fire was just the beginning.

MY TEASER:
 Peeta and I grow back together. There are still moments when he clutches the back of a chair and hangs on until the flashbacks are over. I wake screaming from nightmares of mutts and lost children. But his arms are there to comfort me. And eventually his lips. On the night I feel that thing again, the hunger that overtook me on the beach, I know this would have happened anyway. That what I need to survive is not Gale's fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that.
           So after, when he whispers, "You love me. Real or not real?"
I tell him, "Real."

Tamsin Greene comes from a long line of witches, and on the day she was born, her grandmother proclaimed she would be one of the most Talented among them.
But Tamsin's magic never showed up.
Now, seventeen years later, she spends most at boarding school in manhatten, where she can at least pretend to be normal. But during the summers, she's forced to return home and work at her family's bookstore/magic shop.
One night a handsome young professor from New York University arrives in the shop mistaking Tamsin for her extremely Talented older sister. For once, it's Tamsin who's being looked at with awe and admiration, and before she can stop herself, she agrees to find a family heirloom for him that was lost more than a century ago. But the search-and the stranger-prove to be more sinister then they first appeared, ultimately sending Tamsin on a treasure hunt through time that will unlock the secret of her true identity, unearth the past sins of her family, and unleash a power so strong and so vengeful that it could destroy them all.

MY TEASER:

"We take to the woods and make a run for it," I say.

His face is impossible to read. Will he laugh at me, dismiss this as foolishness? I rise in agitation, preparing for an argument.

"You said yourself you thought that we could do it! That morning of the reaping. You said-"

He steps in and I feel myself lifted off the ground. The room spins, and I have to lock my arms around gale's neck to brace myself. He's laughing, too.
