Before I Die by Jenny Downham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Life isn't fair. Especially for 16yr. old Tessa Scott who has been living the last 4 years of her life fighting a losing battle against cancer. Now she has chosen to stop treatments to prolong her life. Before she dies she has a list of things she wants to accomplish that keeps growing and growing. Ranging from simple to illegal, Tess' list makes for a compelling story. I can't lie though, if you don't want to cry then don't read this book. She is a young girl with a terminal illness, enough said. In spite of my tears I did enjoy this book alot.

Virals by Kathy Reichs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Teenager Tony Brennan is just getting used to living with the father she never knew on a secluded island of the coast of South Carolina. Luckily she has a loyal group of friends she spends her time with. When Tony discovers an undercover experiment involving a furry little wolf-dog pup, she convinces her friends to help her break the pup out of captivity. In doing so the group is exposed to an experimental version of the parvovirus which seems to heighten the friends' senses to that of a wild canine. If that isn't intriguing enough, the friends discover a skeleton and use their new "powers" to help solve a decades old murder case.

With murder and supernatural powers, Kathy Reichs has provided a high-paced adventure mystery that is sure to keep your interest.

Abandon by Meg Cabot
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Not a fan. This is the story of Pierce, a teenage girl who after falling in her pool experiences death and escapes the "Underworld". Jon, the keeper of the "Underworld" fell in love with Pierce in the brief time she was dead and now follows her around in the living world to protect her. There is mystery and love, and even a twist at the end but I just couldn't wrap my head around the concept. Not to mention it was hard to believe Jon and Pierce were actually in love with each other. However, if you like paranormal fiction and are a fan of Meg Cabot's then you might enjoy this book.

Paper Covers Rock by Jenny Hubbard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book kept me up late at night reading and woke me up early in the morning to find out what happened. After finishing the book I'm still not sure what the truth is. The secrets were too big. Was Thomas murdered?

The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My author crush does not disappoint. I laughed and I cried and learn something along the way. The story didn't even have to be about two sick teenagers. Their feelings were true to life for anyone.
