Book review - Harry potter and the chamber of secrets

Title  Harry potter  and the  chamber of  secrets

publisher  scholastic
releases  date   September  1st   2000
pages  341

summary  -The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer that all Harry Potter wanted was to get back to the Hogwarts Schools of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he's packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange, impish creature named Dobby who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike.

And strike it does. For in Harry's second year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockhart; a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls' bathroom; and the unwanted attention of Ron Weasley's younger sister, Ginny.

But each of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins, and someone—or something—starts turning Hogwarts students to stone. Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects . . . Harry Potter himself

*spoilers* Book review - Crescendo written by Becca fitspatrick

Title- Crescendo
Author  -  Becca  Fitzpatick
release date- October  19th  2010
publisher - Simon  &  schuster
pages -  427

Summary  -Nora Grey's life is still far from perfect. Surviving an attempt on her life wasn't pleasant, but at least she got a guardian angel out of it: a mysterious, magnetic, gorgeous guardian angel. But, despite his role in her life, Patch has been acting anything but angelic. He's more elusive than ever and even worse, he's started spending time with Nora's arch-enemy, Marcie Millar. 

Nora would have hardly noticed Scott Parnell, an old family friend who has moved back to town, if Patch hadnt been acting so distant. Even with Scott's totally infuriating attitude Nora finds herself drawn to him - despite her lingering feeling that he's hiding something. 

Haunted by images of her murdered father, and questioning whether her nephilim bloodline has anything to do with his death, Nora puts herself increasingly in dangerous situations as she desperately searches for answers. But maybe some things are better left buried, because the truth could destroy everything - and everyone - she trusts.

Review -  Nora  and Patch  are  going  great   until    he  protects  marcie   and other than  that  she told  patch she  loved him and he didn't say anything   and other  things are  happening  Vee  gets a  boyfriend  Rixon  Pach's  friend   Patch  and Nora  broke up  Patch is  with   Marcie    Nora  finds  some things  she doesn't want  to  she  receives  a package  a  ring  from the  black hand   Rixon  tells  Nora  that's  Patch's  nickname   but is  it   Patch  tell  Nora  Scott is  Nephilem   he's  imortal  can't die   and  he's  apart of something bad   but  when  Nora is  stuck in a  sticky  situation  and finds out  who  killed her  dad   it    surprise   her   .

Book review : Awakened written by P.C Cast + Kristen Cast

Title :  Awakened
Author  :  P.C Cast  + Kristen  Cast
Release date :  January  4 , 2011
Publisher  :  St.  Martin's  griffin
pages:  290
Summary  :My love, speak to me.  Tell me everything.”  Neferet went to Kalona, kneeling before him, stroking the soft, dark wings that unfurled loosely around the immortal.

“What would you have me say?”  He didn’t meet her eyes. 

 “Zoey lives.” Neferet’s voice was flat, cold, lifeless.

“She does.”

“Then you owe me the subservience of your immortal soul.”  She started to walk away from him.

“Where are you going?  What will happen next?”

 “It is quite simple.  I will ensure Zoey is drawn back to Oklahoma.  There, on my own terms, I will complete the task you failed.”

Exonerated by the Vampyre High Council and returned to her position of High Priestess at Tulsa’s House of Night, Neferet has sworn vengeance on Zoey.  Dominion over Kalona is only one of the weapons she plans to use against Z.  But Zoey has found sanctuary on the Isle of Skye and is being groomed by Queen Sgiach to take over for her there.  Being Queen would be cool, wouldn’t it?  Why should she return to Tulsa? After losing her human consort, Heath, she will never be the same – and her relationship with her super-hot-warrior, Stark, may never be the same either…

And what about Stevie Rae and Rephaim?  The Raven Mocker refuses to be used against Stevie Rae, but what choice does he have when no one in the entire world, including Zoey, would be okay with their relationship?  Does he betray his father or his heart?

In the pulse-pounding 8th book in the bestselling House of Night series, how far will the bonds of friendship stretch and how strong are the ties that bind one girl’s heart?

Review  -   This  book was  heartbreaking  action packed   it  took  place  after   Burned  , Zoey  is  back   and her soul is not shattered  Stark is  still trying to get his  energy  back   but  him and  Zoey  are  happy  and in love  but  when  heartbreak  goes down at the house of  night   Zoey and  Stark  must go back  home   Stevie  Ray  is  still  hiding  her Rephaim   from her friends    Nefert  is  fooling  everyone  on the council      that's she's  so nice and good   but   when  they  have to do the  funeral for  jack  and everyone is so  sad that's when  madness  takes part   but it  ended  on a  clifhander  like always  it  was  sad  but I  can't wait until  Destined .

summary  -Salvation has its price. 
The words stunned Adrian for a moment, but he kept going. "You're lying. What you're describing is impossible. There's no way to save a Strigoi. When they're gone, they're gone. They're dead. Undead. Forever." 

Robert's next words weren't directed at Adrian. They were spoken to me. "That which is dead doesn't always stay dead...." 

After a long and heartbreaking journey to Dimitri’s birthplace in Siberia, Rose Hathaway has finally returned to St. Vladimir’s—and to her best friend, Lissa Dragomir. It's graduation, and the girls can’t wait for their real lives outside of the Academy’s cold iron gates to finally begin. But even with the intrigue and excitement of court life looming, Rose’s heart still aches for Dimitri. He's out there, somewhere. 

She failed to kill him when she had the chance, and now her worst fears are about to come true. Dimitri has tasted her blood, and she knows in her heart that he is hunting her. And if Rose won't join him, he won't rest until he's silenced her...forever. 

But Rose can't forget what she learned on her journey—whispers of a magic too impossible and terrifying to comprehend. A magic inextricably tied to Lissa that could hold the answer to all of Rose's prayers, but not without devastating consequences. Now Rose will have to decide what—and who—matters most to her. In the end, is true love really worth the price?

Summary of the  book

Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.

In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low.

And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherworldly war.

Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages—not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out.

When one of the strangers—beautiful, haunted Akiva—fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?

The Language of Impossible Dreams by Sarah Ockler



Description: Once upon a time, Hudson knew exactly what her future looked like. Then a betrayal changed her life, and knocked her dreams to the ground. Now she’s a girl who doesn’t believe in second chances... a girl who stays under the radar by baking cupcakes at her mom’s diner and obsessing over what might have been.

So when things start looking up and she has another shot at her dreams, Hudson is equal parts hopeful and terrified. Of course, this is also the moment a cute, sweet guy walks into her life...and starts serving up some seriously mixed signals. She’s got a lot on her plate, and for a girl who’s been burned before, risking it all is easier said than done.

It’s time for Hudson to ask herself what she really wants, and how much she’s willing to sacrifice to get it. Because in a place where opportunities are fleeting, she knows this chance may very well be her last....

The Language of Impossible Dreams (Simon Pulse, August 2012) hits the shelves next summer, but you can add it to your Goodreads list now!

Summary:
Miles Halter is fascinated by famous last words and tired of his safe life at home. He leaves for boarding school to seek what the dying poet Francois Rabelais called the "Great Perhaps." Much awaits Miles at Culver
Creek, including Alaska Young. Clever, funny, screwed-up, and dead sexy, Alaska will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps.


Review: This book Looking for Alaska was a book that amazed me it was funny and sad it's about Miles/pudge going to culver creek looking for the great perhaps but what he didn't expect was meeting a girl that changes his life Alaska Young pudge fell in love on the first sight of Alaska miles gets some interesting friends the corneal alaska takumie and Lara these guys aren't the rich kids but they know how to have fun miles loves last words which is interesting but these friends love to prank on miles first date at culver creek with Lara he ends up puking on her jeans which is memorable but miles still likes Lara so on a big prank adventure on the rich kids they make out and miles ask's her to be his girlfriend and then something big happens which is big and is a big part of the book it was sad.

Publisher harper teen


Summary:
Love is a werewolf, influenced by the moon and terror, and always about to change.
Liv has a secret.


Something happened to her when she was thirteen. Something that changed everything. Liv knows she doesn’t belong anymore—not in her own skin, not in her family . . . not anywhere. The only time she truly feels like herself is when she’s with her boyfriend, Corey, and in the woods that surround her town.


But in the woods, a mysterious woman watches Liv. In the woods, a pack of wild boys lurks. In the woods, Liv learns about the curse that will haunt her forever. The curse that caused the frenzy four years ago. And that may cause it again, all too soon.


While Corey and Liv’s love binds them together, Liv’s dark secret threatens to tear them apart as she struggles to understand who—or what—she really is. And by the light of the full moon, the most dangerous secrets bare their claws. . . .






Review : this book is about Liv she is a werewolf she changed the first time when she was thirteen but she couldn't explain it she attacked her mother after her mom killed a wolf and years after she still has that frenzy inside of her she has a boyfriend named Cory that her parents wouldn't approve of so she is fake dating her gay best friend pace Things happen she can't explain like she's hairy and what she can't explain is what happens that day but one day she can she sees a woman in the woods there have been murders in the woods her parents tell her to stay away from the woods but she goes there with her boyfriend to make love she feels safe there until she finds out what she really is a werewolf. She has to overcome so much like being a werewolf her dad hitting her hiding a boyfriend she loves but when things come out they come out hard like Joe ranger being Liv's father and her mom ends up shooting Liv's hand off and in the end Cory and Liv end up running away together they get there happy ending.

Book Review : The short second life of bree tanner an eclipse novella written by Stephaine Meyer

Title : The  short  second Life of  Bree  Tanner  
Author Stephaine  Meyer  
Pages  : 178 
Release date:  June  5, 2010
Publisher :  Little  brown  books 
Summary:Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by this riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character first introduced in Eclipse, and the darker side of the newborn vampire world she inhabits. 
In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery, and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion. 
Bree Tanner can barely remember life before she had uncannily powerful senses, superhuman reflexes and unstoppable physical strength. Life before she had a relentless thirst for blood... life before she became a vampire. 
All Bree knows is that living with her fellow newborns has few certainties and even fewer rules: watch your back, don't draw attention to yourself and, above all, make it home by sunrise or die. What she doesn't know: her time as an immortal is quickly running out. 
Then Bree finds an unexpected friend in Diego, a newborn just as curious as Bree about their mysterious creator, whom they know only as "her". As they come to realize that the newborns are pawns in a game larger than anything they could have imagined, Bree and Diego must choose sides and decide whom to trust. But when everything you know about vampires is based on a lie, how do you find the truth?

Review:  This  book  is about  Bree  tanner  she is a  newborn  vampire  in  victoria's  clan   and  she  is  a  child  she doesn't  want to be  apart of this   but  she's  stuck  she  meets  people  she  can trust  like  Diego  and  fred but she doesn't trust  Riley she  knows he's fully of lies she finds out  that the vampires don't burn in the sun  and that they sparkle  but  i've read  Eclipse  and I know the outcome  for  Bree and that was  harder reading it  but  I really wanted her to live  but hearing her   story was cool   it was  cool  to see that  the voltorie  met  with Victoria  and Riley   but  when it came  down to the fight  the cullens  picked her   she said she didn't want to hurt anyone   but  the voltorie  pick who  dies and who lives and Bree dies  I was sad  but we  all knew it would  happen I've never read a  novella  before it was cool.

Interview with Richard Denney

Hi  Everyone  Today  I'm going to  be  doing my  very  first  author  Invterview  today  we  have  Richard  Denney  Author of Hillserpent Academy  so lets  start.


Hi Richard so have you always wanted to be a writer ? Hey Christina! Actually singing & acting were my first loves, then one day in California, during the summer of 2004 I bought a giant composition book meant for Lyrics. The lyric book turned into a 130 paged book called "Dreama" and from that day that I finished it, I knew that writing meant everything to me. 




What was your inspiration for Hillserpent Academy and are you planing on writing a sequel ? The inspiration for Hillserpent Academy came to me, because to me there isn't enough LGBT supernatural YA fiction and I decided to write my own, but I was inspired by fantasy books such as Harry Potter & John Bellairs's work :) and yes, there are going to be 6 in the series. 


what is your favorite read from this year ? Clarity" by Kim Harrington. so far it's  my favorite, but we'll see in December lol 

I'm a writer what is your advice for me ? Advice? I'd tell you to keep writing and forget what's in or out or what people want to read because as Richelle Mead said "if you write a book to please readers, your going to write a horrible book. write for you, write what you love." :) 
where do you get names for your characters ? Google!!! I don't know what I'd do without google lol. I usually type in something like "Unique girl/boy names" and just go through the lists or take names and create them myself


Thank you Richard Denney and Check out Hillserpent Academy

your welcome! & thank you! RICHARD DENNEY

Book Review : Burned by P.C Cast + Kristen Cast

Title :  Burned 

Author :  P.C Cast +  Kristen Cast  

Pages :  323

Release  date  April  27, 2010

Summary :When friends stop trusting each other, Darkness is there to fan the flames….

Things have turned black at the House of Night. Zoey Redbird’s soul has shattered. With everything she’s ever stood for falling apart, and a broken heart making her want to stay in the Otherworld forever, Zoey’s fading fast. It’s seeming more and more doubtful that she will be able pull herself back together in time to rejoin her friends and set the world to rights. As the only living person who can reach her, Stark must find a way to get to her.  But how?  He will have to die to do so, the Vampyre High Council stipulates.  And then Zoey will give up for sure. There are only 7 days left…

Enter  BFF Stevie Rae.  She wants to help Z but she has massive problems of her own.  The rogue Red Fledglings are acting up, and this time not even Stevie Rae can protect them from the consequences.  Her kinda boyfriend, Dallas, is sweet but too nosy for his own good.  The truth is, Stevie Rae’s hiding a secret that might be the key to getting Zoey home but also threatens to explode her whole world.

In the middle of the whole mess is Aphrodite: ex-Fledgling, trust-fund baby, total hag from Hell (and proud of it).  She’s always been blessed (if you could call it that) with visions that can reveal the future, but now it seems Nyx has decided to speak through her with the goddess’s own voice, whether she wants it or not.  Aphrodite’s loyalty can swing a lot of different ways, but right now Zoey’s fate hangs in the balance.

Three girls… playing with fire… if they don’t watch out, everyone will get Burned.

Review :  Book  seven   the  house of night series   was  freaking  crazy  it was so emotional  so Kalona  killed  Heath in the last book so  now  Zoey's  Spirt is  shattered  and she is stuck in the otherworld with heath and everyone is trying to figure out how to get her  back  Stark is depressed  and  Stevie  ray  she's  back at the  house of night  still with the raven mocker  (I just don't get her sometimes) Kramisha   gives  Stevie ray  a pome  that mostly  tells  them  how figure out  how to get  Zoey back   stark has  to get   to the  other world  he has  to be  badly  wounded  Dallas  finds out  about  Stevie ray  and  the raven mocker  while there  having  Sex  and that wasn't to  good and then Dallas  goes all  nuts  .   when Stark   gets there all hell  goes  loose  Heath moves on  Kalona  and  Stark  fight and  zoey is  back to new and hopefully her  and stark can be  together now well we'll find out in  AWAKENED.
