__**Consumed,**__ **by Kate Cann**

A 16 year old girl, Rayne, is haunted by the terrifying secrets of Morton’s Keep. Evil is lurking in the mansion, and it wants to come out. But now a new manager wants to take over. But she makes everything from bad to worse. No one else will help Rayne, so she has to stop the evil on her own, but how? I like how the author made it sound so suspenseful, wanting me to read more.

__Crescendo__, by Becca Fitzpatrick
 This book is a sequel of the book Hush Hush. A junior in high school, she does not have a lot of friends, but she does have this amazing boyfriend, Patch. He was originally a fallen angel, which is an angel gone bad, sent down to kill Nora, then he saved her life and become her boyfriend and her guardian angel. Once everything starts going normal, Nora’s childhood friend, Scott comes back into her life, which turns out to be a very bad thing for her relationship with Patch.

 This book has a lot of romance in it. My favorite part of this book is at the beginning, where Patch takes Nora out on a date, out to dinner, and when he is driving her home they were talking about how much they loved each other. When they finally got to her place, they exchange gifts. She gets a necklace that he had never taken off since he got it when he became a fallen angel. He got her dead father's ring, which she has never taken off. Then he walks her to the door and gives her a gentle kiss in the rain.

 Crescendo was amazing. I will recommend this book to anyone who love romance and adrenaline, this book has lots of twists. This book was addicting to me. I could not put it down, if really made me think that i could see everything happening right in front of me. I loved it so much. I can wait to read the next book, Silence. -Skyler Woolever

Dead Connection, by Charlie Price

Dead connection is about a boy named Murray who can talk to the dead and they talk back. If he focuses enough he can even see what they looked like before they died. The main character is talking to the dead when all of a sudden the cemetery owner’s daughter (Pearl) comes down and startles Murray. They don’t get along at first, but towards the end they become best friends. Murray doesn’t have many friends; his only friends are dead. But he hears a new voice talking and he’s trying to find it because it is kinda like a crying noise. Both Murray and Pearl travel through the cemetery looking for the voice. My favorite part is when Murray and Pearl solve the mystery. I recommend this book to anybody who likes mysteries. This book is the best book I have ever read, and I recommend it 100%. - Nicolas Ross

**If I Stay,** by Gayle Forman

In the book __If I Stay__, Mia is a young cellist who comes from two parents who were rock musicians and a boyfriend who is the lead guitarist in his punk rock band. One morning in Oregon her whole world is turned upside down by one drive and a slippery road. Now she is stuck between life and death going through the pros and cons of living or letting go. Throughout the book there are many flashbacks that happen to show Mias life and her flashbacks help her decide what she should do, knowing she has nothing but music to go back to. I enjoyed this book a lot because it has made me reflect on my life. It's one of those books that will make you grateful for what you have. I would really recommend this book to anyone who is interested in romantic stories and the SyFi genre. This book is not just if Mia stays, but what happens if she goes. -Ashleigh Elizabeth W.

__**Misfit,**__ By Jon Skovron

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">//Passion// by Lauren Kate

Luce and Daniel are soul mates. Each time Luce falls in love with Daniel, they are painfully torn apart by Luce's death. They happen to find each other over and over again through out time. However this time Luce thinks it will be different and she can some how go back in time and find a way to stop the curse so she can be with Daniel forever. My favorite part of the book is when Luce goes back in time to Tahiti in December 11, 1775 to see her former self and Daniel show their love and commitment to one another which in return made Luce realize that there love is pure and not forced because of their curse that it just occurs naturally because they are truly meant to be with each other. If you like romance mixed with fallen angels and immortals then you will love this book. Over all this book spikes some of your emotions while you read and makes you want to go out there and find the love that Luce and Daniel have towards one another. -Kari Schmidt Passion book trailer


 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater **

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Shiver is about a young couple. Sam and Grace live very separate lives. Sam is part of a local Minnesota family with a secret. Every winter the family pack transforms into wolves with the cold. After Grace was bitten, but never changed as she was supposed to, she slowly starts to fall in love with the wolf that saved her, Sam. As Sam fights to stay human for Grace, their love for each other deepens. This is not the typical werewolf story. The mysterious and thrilling plot keeps you turning the page. -Callie Ebel

//** Starcrossed **//**, **** by Josephine Angelini **


 * //Starcrossed// is about a girl named Helen who feels a mysterious desire to kill the new guy in her high school.. She eventually falls for him for him, and soon finds out that some secrets are better kept quiet, especially ones concerning Lucas. Her life is immediately turned upside-down as she realizes that she is the last of her descendants, which puts her newly-found powers, and ultimately, her fate, on the line. My favorite character is named Lucas. He’s the black haired, blued eyed object of Helen’s affections. Throughout the novel, Lucas struggles to keep his desires in check- both his desire to kill her, and his desire to love her. You would really enjoy this book (the first of a series) if you enjoyed the “Fallen” series. Revenge doesn’t take "no" for an answer. You could love someone, you could die for them, and you could kill for them, but you still can’t change the future. **
