Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 2005
a great read.
+ Good, but not for kids . . . (a few spoilers here)
i really really liked this book.
the premise isn't something i would normally read, but i'm glad i did. the main character, gemma doyle, is really awesome. she is witty, and strong, but she also has tremendous flaws.

+ what my mother doesnt know + "What My Mother Dosent Know" Book Review
I absolutely adore this book! I picked it up off of a Books-A-Million bargain table on a whim, thinking it would be a nice light read to occupy my time on a way home. It turned out that this is one of the best young adult books I have ever read. I leant it to two of my friends, both of whom agree ...

Blood and Chocolate 312 reviews Annette Curtis Klause
Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 2007
An underrated, good read
I think this is a good under rated book for teens who are into dark fantasy and romance like Twilight. The story is centered around Vivian, who lives with her werewolf clan while they try to coexist with humans. It shows the character change as Vivian goes from hating and feeling superior to humans ...

Ju-On 4 reviews Kei Ohishi
Dark Horse, 2006
SEE THE MOVIES FIRST, THEN READ THE NOVEL!
+ Beautifully Graphic and Much Better than the Film Version + Nothing like the movie
This novelization covers the Ju-on cycle; Ju-on: The Curse, Ju-on: The Grudge, and Ju-on II. It also provides spoilers for the American films The Grudge and the Grudge 2.
The original Japanese direct-to-video short films in The Curse are diffcult to find in the US, and fortunately they aren't ...
