SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE 

When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms. Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires. Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever. This book is intended for mature audiences.

"I've been specital to reading Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James. I know you should never judge a book by it's cover/title,don't know how many times I express this to my kids. Come to find out I did just that the title didn't appeal to me in the slightest. However I kept hearing all these brave reviews and how awesome the book was.. So I put Fifty Shades on my book list of wanting to read.. To my surprise it didn't take long for me to get into it. One minute I was just starting the book the next I'm on the last page. For starters this is for MATURE Audiences and Very Erotica. Needless to say Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey kept me very intrigued during all that time. I believe they were made for each other,some of the stuff they do... Author EL James sure let her creative juices flow on this series.."

The It Girl meets The Exorcist in this chilling, haunted boarding school tale

New-girl Lindsay discovers all is not right at the prestigious Marlwood Academy for Girls. Ethereal, popular Mandy and her clique are plotting something dangerous. Lindsay overhears them performing strange rituals, and sees their eyes turn black. It doesn't help that the school itself is totally eerie, with ancient, dilapidated buildings tucked into the Northern California woods, a thick white fog swirling through campus. There are hidden passageways, odd reflections in the windows at night, and scariest of all is the vast lake rumored to have captured the ghost of a girl who drowned many years ago.

What Lindsay doesn't yet realize is that Mandy and her cohorts are becoming possessed by spirits who have haunted the school for two hundred years. Spirits who want someone dead...

And that someone is Lindsay.

This is totally an awesome book, I loved it. I hated for it to end and the twist Holder put at the end. OMG OMG,ok SHHH hush not going to spoil it... Lets just say Possessions gave me goosebumps from beginning to end and left me wanting more.

Will she be able to save her new BFF (Julie) from this wicked crowed?? What actually happened all those years ago at Marlwood???

I'm totally siked to read the next book in this series,The Evil Within. I really want to know what happens to Troy. Is he part of the cruel sickness at Marlwood or is he an actual victim???

Let me start off by saying this was a totally awesome book. It kept me peeked to the very end. So Why didn't I give it a 5 star??? Well that's because I believe the author got sloppy at the end...I just felt like Duncan was trying to end it to quickly... It was such a good book too,I was all up in it and boom yaw it was all over with a sucky ending...

Review - Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

There were no surprises in Gatlin County.
We were pretty much the epicenter of the middle of nowhere. At least, that's what I thought. Turns out, I couldn't have been more wrong. There was a curse.There was a girl. And in the end, there was a grave.
Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.
Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them. In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.

Garcia and Stohl did a hor·rif·ic job on Beautiful Creatures I was blown away and not by all the storms raging in Gatlin County nor the Battle of Honey Hill either. I must say "when it rains it pours"...

To begin with the way the story was taking place I thought it was from a females prospective (Lena's)but turns out it was of Ethan's. Through out the story I didn't feel that Ethan was heroic the way they protrade him to be. I thought of him as just like any other teenage boy "whipped"...
For Lena well all she does through out the entire book is gloom over if she's going to turn dark on her 16 th birthday like her cousin Ridley had. Well maybe the book a be more interesting if she had...
Ridley maybe dark but I think I like her the best. She didn't sit around mopping,whining nor complains about every little thing. She uses her powers to her advantage and then some....

If it wasn't bad enough, what really gripped my azz about this book was the fact that Garcia and Stohl had the nerve,to use a scene from the movie Carrie. Well not exactly word for word but that's the vibes I was feeling when Ethan took Lena to the prom and ha ties broke loose... I couldn't believe that they actually thought that part would sit well with the readers....I just thought that was a cheap rip off if you ask me...

If Beautiful Darkness is anything like this one, I must say I do not care to read it. An to think this book had such raving reviews...

Review - Fang by James Patterson

Fang By James Patterson

A Maximum Ride Novel

Angel says that Fang will be the first to die, and Angel is never wrong. Maximum Ride is used to living desperately on the run from evil forces sabotaging her quest to save the world—but nothing has ever come as close to destroying her as this horrifying prophetic message. Fang is Max's best friend, her soul mate, her partner in the leadership of her flock of winged children. A life without Fang is a life unimaginable.
When a newly created winged boy, the magnificent Dylan, is introduced into the flock, their world is upended yet again. Raised in a lab like the others, Dylan exists for only one reason: he was designed to be Max's perfect other half. Thus unfolds a battle of perfection versus passion that terrifies, twists, and turns . . . and meanwhile, the apocalypse is coming.

Let me start out by saying that I'm a huge fan of James Patterson. He's a brilliant author. I love just about every novel that he has ever written. He puts his talent to good use when it comes to writing.

Fang is the 6th book in the Maximum Ride series,however It was the first book I read from this series. I have to admit I hate reading a series out of order,but Fang was such a good book that it wouldn't have any problems of standing alone on it's own... Still I would like to go back and read the rest in this series...

They call themselves bird kids,cause they have angel like wings and they stick together like a flock of birds does. The bird kids have many enemies,if it's not evil god scientists wanting to improve the world( by doing harmful experiments on humans),it's the erasers(werewolves) trying to emulate them. I'm all about helping to improve the world but I have to agree with Max(leader of the flock) on this one. I couldn't jeopardize my flock after what I've learned about the not so great Dr. Hans.

Who do he think he is (DR Hans)??? He created Dylan another type of bird kid to be Max's perfect half. Come on now he may be drop dead gorgeous,but I fell in love with Fang.. Fang has always been there for the flock,fought beside them,helped Max out quite a few times when the kids got unruly. So to me Fang is Max's perfect half,her soul mate.. "You can lead a camel to water but you can not make him drink". That's the way I feel about that little scenario. So leave Fang and Max alone they're prefect for each other.

Muldoon is a precocious puppy who works for the West family. Or at least he thinks he does! Each day, he performs his chores, waking the family up, bringing the children to school and helping clean up after meals. This charming picture books tells one story in the text while showing the hilarious reality in the illustrations. The truth is that adorable Muldoon is a handful, but the West family wouldn't have him any other way.Selected for the job of "new pet" by the West family, Muldoon the dog humorously describes some of his duties.

Totally alsome!!! I HIGHLY recomend(an I don't hardly ever recomend anything,much less HIGHLY) this book for the youngsters. It's Hilarious!!! Easy for children to read and they will love the illustrations. I know my wee ones enjoyed this story. Muldoon had us laughing throughout the entire story,had us wondering what to expect next. That's one silly pooch. Loved It!!!!!

Muldoon is a very busy little pooch,I don't see how he does it. Ever since the West family chose him over other applicants, Muldoon has provided quite well of his duties. It's a tough job taking care of the whole entire household on your own. All the work he does I think the West's should give Muldoon a raise.
