I also recently got this book from Barnes N Noble, Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause. I didn't get into it right away, but not long after I started reading it, I couldn't stop. I definitely want to see the movie, although the book is most likely better. It is basically about a werewolf girl that falls in love with a human, something that is forbidden. She begins to lose herself when she realizes what differences lie in the world of humans and of werewolves, and the similarities of lies and deceit.

When I was recently at Barnes N Noble, I got another book by Ned Vizzini. I had already read his book Teen Angst? Naaah... and enjoyed it quite a bit. This one was called It's Kind of a Funny Story and was about a teenager that had to go into a hospital for 5 days because he was depressed and suicidal. I was drawn to the book for various reasons, and knew that it would be very good. As I began reading, I couldn't put the book down, and read it straight through (minus when I had to help customers). The House of Night series by P.C. Kast and Kirstin Cast are a really great series that are about the world and lives of vampyre fledglings at the House of Night. One thing I really enjoyed about this series was the Greek legend aspect about it. The fledglings worship Nyx, the goddess of Night, and when things start happening that their high-priestess Neferet cannot seem to control, it is in the hands of vampyre fledgling Zoey Redbird. The Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead is a great series about, as the title suggests, vampires. In the series, dhampir Rose Hathaway is set to protect the Moroi princess Lissa Dragomir. They had escaped the confines of the school, St. Vladimir's, and are on the run for 2 years before they must return and are forced to stay again. Strange things had been happening that had caused them to leave in the first place, and the fear comes back once they return. |
