Lost Prince  by  Julie Kagawa

If you've been waiting for the next Iron Fey book, look no further, for it has arrived! Meghan's had her happily ever after, but what about the family she's left behind? It's been eleven years since she's taken the Iron Throne and her family has felt the loss. Her mother never speaks her name, and Ethan is ever alone. As if that wasn't bad enough, they have to always move on account of the fey that dog Ethan wherever he goes, fascinated by his Sight. But when he finally finds a friend (who, as you've guessed it is a girl), another thing comes up: a mysterious new breed of fey are attacking half-breeds and other fey! What's going on? The only way to figure it out and save what few friends he has, is to go back to the land of Faerie and coerce his royal sister into helping him find some answers. He then sets out on an adventure reminiscent of those of another pair of guys, but his companion has a secret. Will Ethan allow his feelings for his friend? Who are these weird fey? Find out!

"Halo" by Alexandra Adornetto

Rating: Good (4)

Halo  by  Alexandra Adornetto

Have you read Embraced; Enticed; Hush, Hush; or Unearthly? Then you should probably read Halo. In a ploy to reinstate humanity's trust in itself, Heaven has sent down three angels to watch over Venus Cove, a seemingly random American small town. But when Gabriel, Ivy, and Bethany arive, they notice a strange shift in everyday life: freak accidents, murders, and fires. Bethany must keep her head in the game, but when she meets Xavier Woods, her whole life changes. To fall in love with a human is an incredible sin, and to reveal the existance of angels is even worse; like, cast-from-Heaven bad. With all this stress, another problem arises: the appearance of a troubled English boy by the name of Jake, who seems to have a dark secret. Will Bethany be cast down for her sins? Can she and her family save Venus Cove? Find out today! Read Halo!

Vacations from Hell

Rating: Excellent! (5)

Vacations From Hell  by  Libba Bray

Vacations From Hell is a great book. It is a collection of five stories about supernatural vacations that make lost luggage and sunburns seem like great vacations. From a teenage witch whose worst enemy is a snobby witch, to a group of tourists who confront the devil is Eastern Europe, this book has a variety of supernatural stories. And only one story involves vampires, so don't make a hatred of Twilight make you skip this great read.

Bloodrose  by  Andrea Cremer

The third installment of the Nightshade series is just as good if not better than the rest. Calla, a guardian that can turn from human to wolf whenever she wants, has to prepare along with Ren and Shay, also guardians for the impending war that will free her and exile the keepers for good.

Chasing Brooklyn by Lisa Schroeder

Rating: Excellent! (5)

Chasing Brooklyn  by  Lisa Schroeder

Chasing Brooklyn by Lisa Schroeder is a book in verse. It is also a sort of diary, alternating between the point of view of Brooklyn and Nico. Lucca died a year ago. Jackson died six months before that. Now Gabe is dead. Lucca was Brooklyn's boyfriend and Nico's brother. Now, with Gabe dead, they are both being haunted, Brooklyn by Gabe and Nico by Lucca. They must help each other learn to live again while training for a triathlon, which is a big part of their healing. I thought I wouldn't like this book because it is written in verse, but I really enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this book.

City Of Bones by Cassandra Clare

Rating: Excellent! (5)

City Of Bones  by  Cassandra  Clare

City of Bones is the best book I have ever read! It tells the story of Jace, a shadowhunter, and Clary, a "mundane" that can see shadowhunters. This book has many unexpected turns that makes the story interesting. The series is addictive!
