Phoenix has been in more than a bit of trouble lately, thanks to Onadyn, a new drug that she used. She's gone to rehab and kicked it now, but her mother still doesn't trust her. And when she's at a party in the woods that turns into a fight with aliens, her mother thinks it was more drugs.

Extras (The Uglies) 53 reviews Scott Westerfeld
Simon Pulse, 2007
Extra Good
+ Different Place, Different Time, Still Great
Pros: An original, believable concept, great characters.
Cons: Ending is a bit of a let down.
I was a bit reluctant to read this book, as I thought that Westerfield's last attempt, Specials, was the weakest in the series. Nevertheless, I am a fan of the series in general and when I saw this ...

The Last Days 22 reviews Scott Westerfeld
Razorbill, 2006
Not as good as Peeps but worth reading if you enjoy Westerfeld's work
Ok, so I will just be upfront here. I loved Peeps, and I was disappointed on the first page of this that it was not more of the same characters. Even though the Peeps characters appear, they are side characters, not the stars, which made me grumpy from the get-go. I like getting to know a character ...

Great for a quick read and the series ROCKS!
+ Spoiled Rotten Vampire Teenagers + Very different Vampire Book
After seeing this book only received 3 1/2 stars, I decided not to buy it. My friend later recommeded the book. I loved it! I read it in an afternoon. I don't know what some of these 1 & 2 stars were for...? I thought it was a great read!

St. Martin's Griffin, 2007
this series is made of AWESOME!
+ Sunk it's teeth into me.... + Marked was right up there with the Twilight saga for me
I found this story line to be very origional, unlike anything I've ever read. I would recommend this for teens, probably 14 and older.
The book is written from a teen's perspective, which is refreshing. That means that there are quite a few curse words and seual comments... let's just leave it ...

Three teens, Ondine, Nix, and Morgan, are thrown into a world they never imagined could exist. They always knew they were different. They always had strange habits or characteristics, such as purple ...

Perfect Ending
+ Interesting conclusion to a fascinating trilogy. + A Great and Sad Beauty
I love this series and the last book is no exception. It is quite long but I was glad for the extra pages as I wanted to spend as much time as possible in this fictitious world. I am a sucker for happy endings so I was upset to hear that perhaps this wasn't going to be a fairy tale ending. I ...

+ Dark + Enjoyed it - 4 1/2 stars
I was really excited about this novel when it first came out, but the hardback was too much money. So I waited for it in paperback, and became uninterested. The more I learned about the novel the more it sounded like a rip-off of Black's Tithe. After reading it I'm so glad I did.
Ok. First off I ...
