Evermore (The Immortals #1), Alyson Noel
.5/5
The plot is almost exactly the same as the third book Soulmate in Night World #2. But Soulmate is much better. Read that instead. It also has some weird names in it. Ever, Miles, Haven, Drina, Damen. It felt like the author was trying to make up for an unoriginal plot-line by giving all the characters weird names.
Night World #2 (Dark Angel, The Chosen & Soulmate), L.J. Smith
4.5/5
“Intrigued by Twilight’s otherworldly teen romance but creeped out by its adherence to outdated gender roles? Try L.J. Smith’s Night World series instead. Written years before Edward watched Bella sleep, but only recently reprinted, the nine books of the series feature strong female protagonists who discover unlikely - and often supernatural - soulmates. Smith’s heroines often save their forbidden loves and, i later books, play pivotal roles in fighting to save the world. Best of all, Smith’s mythology is threaded with deeply feminist elements that challenge our own culture’s Judeo-Christian beliefs: Her powerful witches are a Matriarchal society, Goddess-worshippers who trace their ancestry to the witch, Hellewise, who died so they could be free.” Brian Pietras, “The Bitch List”, Bust Magazine, Fall 2009
The City of Glass (The Mortal Instruments #3), Cassandra Clare
3.5/5
(I dislike when I can see the resolution before I really should. Halfway through, actually, probably not even that far, I knew the way the author would resolve the 2 major plot points. Maybe I just think too much while I am reading, but it was too easy.)
City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments #2), Cassandra Clare
3/5
(After discussing the first book with some friends, they convinced me to just keep reading. I should explain that I think that the books themselves are interesting reads. There is just one plot element that I don’t care for that taints the books a bit for me.)
Running With Scissors, Augusten Burroughs
4/5
Go Ask Alice, Beatrice Sparks/Anonymous
3.5/5
City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments #1), Cassandra Clare
.5/5
(It is a decent read until the last few chapters. Unsettling twist that I just did not appreciate.)
Thirteen Reasons Why, Jay Asher (#54)
4/5
Cut, Patricia McCormick
