A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A Walk to Remember is Landon Carters story from the year he was seventeen. The story is told as Landon, now fifty-seven, revisits his past and the year that would change him for the rest of his life. His rememberings take us back to the year 1958 in the small town of Beaufort, North Carolina. He was a senior in high school with a solid group of friends and hopes of making it through a good last year and heading off to the University of North Carolina the following fall. But little did he know that it would be nothing like what he had expected. Landon would learn many leasons and be forced to change the way he looks at life. And what would cause this change was a shy, quiet girl named Jamie Sullivan that Landon had gone to school with since kindergarten. Jamie would be the one to teach Landon the true meaning of life, and most of all what it mean to love someone.
This is an unbelievably moving story of a teenag boy that is forced to face many strugles that many people never face as long as they live. It is filled with joy, heartbreak and most important of all love. This novel will leave you with tears in your eyes and a true appreciation for life. Sparks has truly created a story to remember.
I would strongly recommend this book. If you are someone who loves to read a good tear-jerker now and then I promise you that you will fall in love with this book. This is a sincerely great love story that you will not soon forget.

Book Review
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
So... I got this book because someone recommended it to me, but i honestly didn't think that i would like it but read it anyway. I was wrong, I LOVED this book. It's different, interesting, captivating, and creative. I was really surprised. This book has great characters that you will love or hat (but in a good way, if that makes sence), the author developes them really well and this keeps you reading because you are always wanting to know what happens to them next. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes books about vampires, the paranormal, and are full of adventure with a bit of romance mixted in with all of it.

Kisses and Lies by Lauren Henderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Definetly a sequel that did not disapoint!
I think that I may have like this on even better than the first. It had more action, suspence, and secrets. Many secrets. In this book Scarlett is lead to the home of the boy that died in her arms, Dan McAndrews, to solve his murder and make peace with his familly. There she meets his sister, who is nice to her right from the start, his twin brother, who treats her like she's the reason that his twin is dead without even knowing her or what happend, and his parent, who are very polite but also strugeling with the death of there son. Here she learns more about what Dan was like and as so many secrets about his familly. This book was the perfect sequel to Kiss Me Kill Me. The author timed everything perfectly,and keept you guessing right up to the endding, which is very unexpected, and will leave you surprised. I definetly recommend this book to everyone that has read, Kiss Me Kill Me, and if you haven't read that you should read it and then read this.

Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy, #3) by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Spoilers! don't read this if you haven't finished this book. Well, I'm not really sure exactly what I thought about this one. I really liked it like all of the others in the series and all, but there were definetly some things that I didn't like or at least am not really sure that I liked that they happend. First of all, I really didn't like what happened to Dimitri at the end of this book, I was really upset while reading it. Second of all, i don't like how at the end of the book Rose left the academy and her best friend, Lissa. I think that this will really change how the next book is because I'm so used to Rose and Lissa always being together. Last of all, I was really sad that mason left and that there is a good chance you won't see him again. But, I think that this kind of makes me want to read the next on that much more because I am dieing to know what is going to happen, and i guess that that is what the an author aims for when writting a series. Over all i still loved this book and really injoyed reading it.

Kiss Me Kill Me by Lauren Henderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A Great teen murder mystery!
I loved this book, it was interesting and full of twidts and turns. It starts out when a girl named Scarlett goes to a party and a boy named Dan McAndrew, her first crush, dies in her arms when she kisses him for the first time. You then follow Scarlet as she transfers to a prep school run by her grandmother to get away from the constant teasing and guilt after Dans death. She is just starting to start a new life at this school when she reasives an anonymous not from someone that tells her that they know she is inoccent. This sends Scarlett on her way to find out what happend the night of the party, and clearing her name.
This is a great book for anyone that's in to mystery and loves books full of suspense. The endding will also have you running out to get the sequel.
