Wicked Games by Jill Myles
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a great story, I just wish it had been longer! The characters were well rounded(no pun intended) and it didn’t seem forced, the story just flowed from scene to scene.

Maximum Ride, Vol. 7 by James Patterson

Yay! I adore this graphic novel series so much! I have every intention of reading the novels themselves but I’m so into the art work for this series that it’s hard to stop and read through the books!
Review: The Power of Two
The Power of Two by Patti O’Shea
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This series is awesome, as a whole and as individual books. I loved the concept, in this book, of the two main characters being able to communicate ‘telepathically’ using nano computers in their brains. I especially loved that Cai could kick butt on her own but still relied on Jacob to have her back. Great pairing and story!!
Nice Girls Don’t Have Fangs by Molly Harper
Some days just aren’t worth staying alive for…
Honestly, in the history of bad days Jane Jameson’s takes the cake. First she’s fired from her job and gets herself drunk, than she’s mistaken for a deer and gets shot full of lead, only to wake up as a vampire!! Could things get any worse? Apparently they can, because someone knows she’s been turned into a vampire and ‘good girl’ Jane finds herself being framed for several grisly murders.
But all isn’t lost! There are some up sides to being the newly undead. Like having a new job at an old book store. With the ever forgetful owner all over the place and beyond, Jane has her hands full again filing books away, checking out customers, and re-filing the books because they just don’t look right in that corner. And of course who can forget Jane’s sexy vampire sire Gabriel. Not only is he devastatingly attractive but he’s just as into Jane as she’s into him. Yep. Things are looking up.. But for how long?
Join Jane Jameson (say that 3 times fast) in her hilarious debut as she learns the ins and outs of being a vampire and stops a murderer from continuing his spree! Don’t forget to checkout the next 2 in the series Nice Girls Don’t Date Dead Men and Nice Girls Don’t Live Forever.

Jane’s Warlord by Angela Knight
Nothing says ‘I love you’ like being bait for a sociopath.
Jack the Ripper is a time traveling killer and he’s just targeted Jane Colby as his next victim. Thankfully Jane has a protector, Baran Arvid.
Baran is a genetically engineered Warlord from 300 years in the future. He and his wolf companion, Freika, have been sent back to keep Jane from being killed and to catch her killer. It’s a mission like any other. Except that Baran can’t seem to follow the orders he was given. He was ordered to keep her safe from a distance! And to NOT show himself for any reason!
He’s usually so good at following orders.
But not only does he show himself to her, he also tells her where and when he’s from, who’s after her, and as the piece de resistance he informs her that after the Ripper gets through with her, the only thing left is blood. Baran should know. He’s read the history books trying to find a way around it. And you can’t change history… can you?
Join the adventure of the month and see how it all ends!
Infinity by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Nick Gautier (pronounced Go-Shay) is your everyday, typical fourteen year-old. He loves to eat, hates high school, his dad is in prison for multiple murders, and his friends fight zombies and vampires on a regular basis…Okay, so Nick doesn’t actually believe the zombie part or anything else woo-woo like that, but his friends Bubba and Mark are certified zombie hunters…or just certified (they have guns and know how to use ‘em, so it’s best to just agree with everything they say.)
Needless to say, Nick’s life is pretty normal with a few twists. Then he gets shot. And life goes down-hill from there. Now he’s running from zombies who used to be his class mates, weird creatures are popping up and trying to kill him, apparently he has an uncle, and he can’t find a chainsaw when he needs it. Although, the rocket launcher has potential…
Oh, and did I mention that Nick now has super powers, a pocket knife that can change size, a journal that talks back, and he used to play football with a bunch of shape-shifters? Yeah. It’s one of those weeks.
The best Young Adult book you’ll ever read!! Infinity will have you on the edge of your seat and begging for more. Fans of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark-Hunter series will NOT want to miss this book. It explains one of the most important questions about Nick. What is up with those shirts he’s always wearing? And don’t forget! The second book, Invincible, comes out February 1, 2011!!
