Beautiful Creatures
Kami Garcia
Ethan Wate has lived in the small town of Gatlin, South Carolina his whole life. Living with his father who never leaves his study, and his housekeeper Amma who has a way with magic. Nothing exciting ever happens until Lena Duchannes arrives. As soon as she steps into Gatlin strange things begin to happen, glass breaks in the school and Ethan has strange dreams that include Lena. But when Ethan falls in love with Lena he finds out a little bit more than he was expecting about Lena. Including a past, a curse, and a future which could lead to someones untimely death.
This book was really good with lots of suspense and exciting twists. I loved the part when Ethan took Lena to the prom and the author described her dress beautifully. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes magic both good and bad and when those magics collide, also to the people who enjoy a little bit of romance but not all the mushy stuff. More of a teenager book but I am sure that adults will love it too.

Banned Book
Wuthering Heights
Emily Bronte
Mr. Lockwood has just moved into ThrushCross Grange a spare home owned by the infamous Heathcliff, who lives in Wuthering Heights. After spending the night at Wuthering Heights and finding out that the house is haunted by a strange ghost named Catherine he decides to find out more about his ruthless landlord. He requests the aid of housekeeper and former nanny of Heathcliff to tell him all about the history of Wuthering Heights, and along the way he finds out about some very surprising and shocking things.
This book was very good and very entertaining. It was a little hard to follow at times but was a very interesting story line. I would recommend this book to people who like long backstories and older books.

Modern Romeo and Juliett
Perfect Chemistry
Simone Elkeles
Brittany Ellis and Alejandro Fuentes could not be anymore different, or so everybody thinks. But everyone has something that they are trying to hide. And when their chemistry teacher partners them together they think that their senior year is ruined. But it turns out that the two have more in common then they thought. But what happens when they start to fall for each other and the social lines between their two lives are crossed. What will people think and what will happen when things start to go wrong.
I loved this book, it was a great read. This book is definatly for people who like romance but also a little bit of danger. I love how the author really added culture to this book and used some Spanish words. I would recommend this book to High School kids and adults as there is some language and some sexual scenes.

Dead Tossed Waves
Written By Carrie Ryan
Young Gabrielle is growing up in the small coastal town of Vista surrounded by the Forest of Hands and Teeth. And in the course of one night everything changes, her friends sneak out to an old amusement park for some fun. While there she finds love in a boy named Catcher, but just before they could get any closer the Mudo breach the fences. Gabrielle is the only one that escapes, and she find out that Catcher is still out there. She ventures out into the Forest to look for Catcher but instead discovered a secret cult and a boy named Elias. While Gabrielle is trying to hide the secret of her going outside the boundary her mother leaves and Gabrielle kills a man, she has to run away. Now Gabrielle has to figure out what to do and whether or not her choices are right.
This is the epic sequel to "The Forest of Hands and Teeth", a very good book if you want to find out what happens in another part of the Forest. It's a great book and has a lot of romantic parts. This book is all about a young girl who is trying to find herself and to figure out her past. My favorite part is when Elias and Gabrielle have to rescue Catcher's sister from prison. I would recommend this book to people who like romance and adventure. Definitely a book worth reading!
