Trance

     I don't have homework today! I actually had a lot yesterday, that's why I didn't get a review up. Sorry! This review is for Trance by Linda Gerber. If you haven't read this book yet I definitely recommend it! You should also read Death by Bikini which is also by her. Anyway my friend was telling me to rate the books I review, so I'm going to try to remember to that. This review will be kind of short because I have volleyball practise, but here it is.
*****Five Stars

    Ashlyn Greenfield has visions. They are like pieces of a puzzle that don't make sense until you have all of them. Something bad is going to happen. That is all that Ashlyn knows. The other part of the vision  is seen by her sister, but the problem is, she doesn't know where her sister went.
     The visions went away for a while, but now they are back, and someone is going to die. She is having visions more and more frequently, and they are really hard to figure out. Her friends are worried about her, and she doesn't know what to do. Luckily she finds her sister. The night of the vision comes, and Ashlyn has to hurry to stop the vision from happening. If she doesn't make it she will lose one of her friends forever.*Phae Phae*

Jolt

     This review is for Jolt by Saba over at Saba's Awesome Reviews. I'm just going to say... it was awesome. I was sitting on my bed reading as fast as I could because nothing was turning out as I expected. I'm soooo glad I got to read it. Unfortunately this book isn't published, so it isn't available for reading. (Unless Saba gets it published.)


     Brielle Easton is new to Oakwood Boarding School. Despite being hated by the richest, most popular girl in school, Bri is having a great time. Her friends are great, and her boyfriend is even better. She didn't think that anything would go wrong at school, but bad things start happining. Someone is trying to get to Bri, and that person isn't going to stop until they find her.
     Brielle has a strange problem. When ever she touches her friend, Kim, she passes out, but she doesn't just black out, she has a vision. A vision of a man. A man who has been spotted around school. A man who is looking for her. Bri and her friends are trying to find more information about the man before he starts hurting people, but they don't. A girl from Oakwood is killed, and everyone suspects the man. The problem is, the man is too sneaky to find.
     Things go from bad to worse when Kim is taken. Bri and her friends have to save her before it's too late, but they find out that they suspected the wrong people. Or did they? Will Kim be okay? Will Bri find the courage to face the killer?*Phae Phae*

I Am Number Four

     I finished I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore. It's the first book in the Lorien Legacies Series, and I can't wait to read the next book which comes out on June 7!!! This book was pretty long, and it took me awhile to get through, but it was totally worth it! Another thing I look forward to is the movie. That's right, there is going to be a movie. It will star Alex Pettyfer as Number Four and will be in theaters on February 18! That's enough about the future, here's the review:

     Nine aliens arrived on Earth. They came from the planet Lorien and are being hunted. They can only be killed in numerical order because they have a spell cast on them.The first three have been killed by the Mogadorians. Number Four is next. Number Four has taken the identity of John. 
     Number Four is starting over again. This time will be different though. His name will be John and he will have actual friends. John needs to be careful. The Mogadorians are on his trail and he can't do anything that will draw attention to himself. That is a harder task than he expected. John is developing powers that are strengthened by emotion. It's hard to keep them under control when kids at school are trying to get him angry. John keeps his temper though, and he makes friends. Life is a lot better when you have people around you, even if you are on the run.
     One mistake that John makes ruins everything. The Mogadorians find him and his friends. There is nothing they can do but fight. They have to kill every last one of them. It's a huge task, and John isn't ready for it, but he doesn't have a choice. Will John and his friends make it out of the battle alive, or will lives be lost?

Fixing Delilah

     My first review of the year is going to be... Fixing Delilah by Sarah Ockler. This was a good book. It's not my favorite, but it's up towards the top.

     Delilah never knew her dad. It was always just her and her mom. She was alone a lot of the time because her mom was very secretive and had become a workaholic. Delilah had accepted her life. She was giving minimum effort in everything. It had been that way for along time, but her life changed that summer. The summer when her grandmother died, and she had to go to Vermont. The summer in Vermont changed Delilah's life, and she realized that she could do so much more with her life; she could be happy.
     While in Vermont, Delilah started to find clues as to why she and her mom never visited her grandmother. She got curious and wondered what lies her mother had told her. Delilah went and talked to her mother, and she found out the truth. It turns out that she didn't necessarily want to know the truth. Delilah was hurt, and she turned to her old friend, Little Ricky. He comforted her, but she realized that she had to go back and talk to her mom because no matter what, they were family, and family is always there for you. *Phae Phae*
