An Amazing Story....

This book absolutely had me on the tips of my toes. It was beautiful writing to begin with and by the time I got to the last page I was completly satisfied, all questions were answered and all lose ends tied! And the beautiful story that took place at Pendrell, an elite boarding school where Yara encounters the most drop dead gorgeous guy named Brent. and to top matters off Yara is hoarding a power so big by the time the story comes to conclude you'll be in awe. I loved the romance, the humor and especially the mystery behind the curse that lurks this all hollow's school. Be prepared guys for a treat of a lifetime, buckle up, sit back and prepare yourself a cup of coffee because there's one thing certain, you'll be reading this book into the late hours of the night.




And one things for sure Lani Woodland is an author you should be on the look for because she has talent and I can't wait to see what other stories she harbors! I give this 5 Laces!!

A MUST READ!!!!

This is one book I totally picked up by pure curiousity, I saw it sitting in Barnes and Noble and instantly fell in love with it. Dead Beautiful was both beautiful and imaginative, I was sucked in from the beautifully crafted cover, Woon did a fantastic job at creating characters who were relateable and who seemed more real then you and me. I fell in love with the state of  Maine's scenery and I instantly wanted to register for the books  boarding school "Gottfried Academy". This book has a sense of mysteriousness and eerieness. There are parts that I myself wouldn't be caught dead in, but it goes on to show you how strong the protagonist(Renee Winters) is; to be able to put complete trust in a guy she just met and go into a dark and creepy tunnel; it takes guts! Dante Berlin is one of the most gorgeous guys at this academy but he also keeps to himself and is the only student who doesn't live on campus. But why is that? Why doesn't he have any friends? What secret is he keeping? And is it dangerous? This book has an alluring personality and I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking for a book that ties mystery and the paranormal. The only part I'd say I felt was wrong was the end, it ended so quickly and even though there is a sequel in the works, you still can't help but feel upset over the matter!

5 Laces for being a book that kept me up at all hours of the night and away from my college work!

Creepy but AMAZING!!

Shadow Hills was an Amazing book, I was itching to get my hands on this book for some time now and let me tell you this book did not disappoint.

It starts off with a girl named Persephone(Nickname Phe) who travels to a boarding school in Shadow Hills after her sister's death. Phe comes to meet various characters who drag her deep into Shadow Hill's deepest roots and when she meets a mysterious and I must say HOT guy named Zac she soon finds herself discovering not only herself but the secrets that Shadow Hill's holds. Phe soon finds that she too holds a part in the magic these residents of Shadow Hill's pocess, the only thing that will save them is Light.


This book ties a sense of dark and light together that takes the reader on a journey they'll never forget. This book adds a bit of paranomalcy and love. I give this book 5 stars, I couldn't put this book down and long after I finished it I found myself connected to the characters and thinking about them long into the night.  It was creepy and mysterious, I absolutely loved how the writing flowed across the page and how things you thought weren't possible became a reality. I recommend this book to any teen who is looking for a good read and thrill!! I give this 5 Laces for the abundance of inspiration and comfort!!

It's Back!!!!

If you have read this series you would have to agree that the series was getting a little shady there. I about gave up on the series but Burned turned it all around. Stevie Rae is tested to her limits and Stark the once shy and immature boy has finally blossomed into a true and honorable man. This book takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions, not once do you find yourself wanting to put down the book and never revisit it again. This book is a fantastic and fun read, though it might not be for every reader, there's just some things that can't be described in a review, if I could conjure up a word that describes this book, well it just wouldn't be known to the dictionary, because it doesn't exist. For anyone who has just about given up on the series, reign yourselves back in, strap yourself down to you seat and be prepared for the most thrilling ride of your lifetime!

I Give this book 4 and a Half Laces for turning around and creating a very great read!

A book that was Anticipated by Most....

Okay, this book was AMAZING! I never thought I would finish it so quickly, the book pulled me in every direction and I swear I was about to break! Be warned though that the characters are a little different in this book but only because you are able to see another side of them. There were times where I cried for the torment some of the characters felt and there was a time where I wanted to throw the book against the wall and curse the character who caused me so much anger. But in all that's how you want to react to a book right? Don't you want to feel all the emotions thicken and swirl around you, causing you to put the book down and come back to it a couple hours later? I love a good book that causes me to feel. This was definately worth all five stars.

Uh....Can Someone turn on the Lights?

This book was a serious eye opener for me. I've never read a book that quite made me feel like this one. Could you imagine getting betrayed by your own parents and be sent to be "unwound"? In other words, they take apart every piece of your body and sell it away to someone who might need it, whether it be if someone broke their arm or if someone wanted to change thier eyes! Scary to think of isn't it?




Unwind starts out introducing three characters who are about to be sent to be uwound. Connor, the kid who has fire in his heart, Risa the one who isn't wanted anymore and Lev, the one who wants to be unwound. Yep, you heard me, he's known his whole life he was going to be unwound and he's doing it as a sacrifice to God. I don't know about you but that's creepy. On the eve of when Connor is going to be sent away he sneaks out to escape his soon to be unwinding. He soon embarks on a journey that gets Risa's and Lev's lifes intertwined with his. They end up at camp where they will do anything to survive. But will that be enough to save them from unwinding? Or will they get captured and soon face what they knew was coming all along?



This book had me unwinding at the bit and there is one scene I will never forget. Though in the end I know that reading this book has taught me about society and what could happen if we don't watch it closely.
 
I give this book 4 and a Half Laces on the count of unerving me!!
