Unearthly Book Review
Unearthly - by: Cynthia Hand
Where to buy this book
http://www.amazon.com/Unearthly-Cynthia-Hand/dp/B005Q5PIGU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320023003&sr=8-1
(Goodreads Summary)
In the beginning, there's a boy standing in the trees . . . .
Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy.
Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to a new school in a new town. When she meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into place—and out of place at the same time. Because there's another guy, Tucker, who appeals to Clara's less angelic side.
As Clara tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands, she encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought she'd have to make—between honesty and deceit, love and duty, good and evil. When the fire from her vision finally ignites, will Clara be ready to face her destiny?
Unearthly is a moving tale of love and fate, and the struggle between following the rules and following your heart.
My Review
This is a must read. Unearthly is about part-angel Clara who moves from California to Wyoming to follow her purpose (destiny) She begins to have these visions about her destiny in which she has to save a boy from a fire.
Clara along with her brother Jeffrey and mother try to find out what her purpose is and when it will happen. Along the way she will meet new friends and love. But what happens if she does not follows her purpose?
All of the characters in Unearthly are very interesting and unique. Her best friends Wendy and Angela are very different from her but they are critical in her life both in different ways. Wendy's twin brother Tucker is by far my absolute favorite. Funny type and sports kind of guy. While Christian the boy from Clara's vision is the picture perfect boy. Kind, humble and super hot.
I strongly recommend this book. I give it five hearts and cannot wait for more about Clara.

YA Book Inspired Costumes for Halloween
It is very interesting to find that many costumes out there today will be inspired by YA Books. I have found many but will post five top costumes that are inspired by our beloved books.
1. Twilight
Here comes the glitter, fangs and hair. I have seen more inspired accessories in stores especially Edward Cullen's hairstyle. I am sure we will have our share of vampire Edwards tonight.
2. Harry Potter
This wizard has been a costume inspiration for quite a while. My now 12 year old son was harry potter five years ago. He has grown to read the books and enjoy the movies. Of course there are also sexy Hermione versions of the costume now.
3. Mortal Instruments
Movie Buzz anyone! this series is coming up on the big screen and new fans are being born as you read this. People that were not aware of the books have know been enveloped by the story. I have told friends and they have told friends who are now reading the books and fallen in love with our favorite shadow hunters.
Based on the books I have noticed online people getting tattoos of the runes. For Halloween you can pretend you are a shadow hunter and paint some runes yourself. This picture is fan art I found online and I love it! Oh Please let me see at least movie posters!
4. Greek Mythology
Starcrossed is one of my favorite books. Forbidden love! oh the pain. You can become a Greek Goddess in training tonight and portray your inner Diva.
5. Hunger Games
I love me some Peeta!!! Another Movie Buzz!! with the posters out and the costume reveal we are sure to see many Katniss Everdeen's and other characters from the books and now movie.
Is it next year yet!
I hope you have some last minute inspiration for your costume.

The Scorpio Races Book Review
The Scorpio Races by: Maggie Stiefvater
Where to buy this book
http://www.amazon.com/Scorpio-Races-Maggie-Stiefvater/dp/054522490X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1320023400&sr=1-1
(Good Reads Review)
It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live. Others die.
At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them.
Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn’t given her much of a chance. So she enters the competition — the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen.
My Review
There's something magical about Maggie Stiefvater's writing. She has this ability to capture my attention with her beautiful lyrical writing, relatable characters and creative story telling. Much like her fey and wolf series, Maggie has a talent for taking a well known lore and making it her own. She does this by taking a mythology that's been around for ages and gives it a fresh, unique, engaging re-telling that's all her own.
The Scorpio Races rich mythology is based on water horses, also known as the capall uisce in this story. This deadly water horse is most active in November, which the races are set around each year on the island of Thisby, a prized thing to capture, if it's captured at all. It's during this time that the men gather their best horses, some of which they've captured from the ocean and learned to control, in hopes of being crowned the winner. This race is one that not only requires great strength, but a keen understanding of your surroundings, as the stakes are high and not everyone lives to tell about it. One of the unique things about Maggie's water horses is their ability to attack and often time kill those who enter their waters.
Along with a heart pounding race is two alternating story lines from four time Scorpio Race winner Sean Kendrick and Puck, also called Kate who's the first girl to ever take part in these races. I really liked the way Maggie not only brought these two characters together, but I loved the way their relationship developed. Sean is the quiet, full of wisdom type. He's also extremely intelligent when it comes to horses and the water horses. He's not just a racer, but a horse trainer and the partnership he has with his wildly tamed horse Corr was my favorite relationship from this story. High fives to Kate! I loved this stubborn girl who didn't let others phase her in her decision to take part in what's known as a man's race. This girl can hold her own, despite the crap she takes from some of the guys and her own personal reasons for entering the race. It takes more than two great main characters to tell a story and Maggie's included some fantastic secondary characters as well.
This is s story that's truly unique, I know I keep saying that, but I can't compare it to anything else I've read. Maggie does such a suburb job with her fantasy. She brings a story to life that has this timeless feel to it. I love it when a story feels that way. I also like that she wasn't afraid to tackle the issues of gender, class structure and I loved the theme of loyalty which went for both the human friendships and the relationships they had with their horses. This story has a lot of great elements to it and it's truly a great fantasy read. There's danger, adventure, family relationships, friendships, a subtle romance, mild violence, a breath taking setting and an element of magic to it. This is a story I'd definitely recommend to readers 13 years and older.

The Hunger Games
In my recent near obsession with the hunger games I decided to post some of my favorite quotes from the books. This series are so addictive it is incredibly hard to stop at book one.
Trust me if you have not read the series please do so, you won't be disappointed.
Trust me if you have not read the series please do so, you won't be disappointed.
The Hunger Games - By Suzanne Collins
In the ruins of a place
once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol
surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel
and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and
one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the
annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother
and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps
forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been
close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without
really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she
will have to start making choices that will weigh survival against
humanity and life against love.

Spooky Readings
One day away from Halloween I would like to list my top spooky reads.
1. Beautiful Creatures by: Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
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.
I know the book is at times scary to read but I choose to listen to the audio book narrated by Kevin T. Collins. The audio book makes it ten times scarier. The sixteen moons song is the creepiest song ever but yet I am fascinated at the same time. There is lightning and other sound effects that help bring this book to life.
This is by far one of my favorite audio books and I strongly recommend you either read or listen to this book. Add it to your spooky list.
2. Bloodlines by Richelle Mead.
When alchemist Sydney is ordered into hiding to protect the life of Moroi princess Jill Dragomir, the last place she expects to be sent is a human private school in Palm Springs, California. But at their new school, the drama is only just beginning.
Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive - this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone's out for blood
In the supernatural World there are super heroes or humans that act to control the supernatural. This book is amazing and I guarantee you will not put it away until you finish.
3. Past Midnight by: Mara Purnhagen
Let me set the record straight. My name is Charlotte Silver and I'm not one of those paranormal-obsessed freaks you see on TV…no, those would be my parents, who have their own ghost-hunting reality show. And while I'm usually roped into the behind-the-scenes work, it turns out that I haven't gone unnoticed. Something happened on my parents' research trip in Charleston—and now I'm being stalked by some truly frightening other beings. Trying to fit into a new school and keeping my parents' creepy occupation a secret from my friends—and potential boyfriends—is hard enough without having angry spirits whispering in my ear.
All I ever wanted was to be normal, but with ghosts of my past and present colliding, now I just want to make it out of high school alive….
This story is a bit creepy and I'm sure anyone would like it. Charlotte is being haunted and not by her parents. This book would be a great read to add to your Halloween Spooky list.

Book Review - Wolbsbane by Andrea Cremer
Author: Andrea Cremer
Release Date: July 26, 2011
Pages: 390 (ARC)
Publisher: Philomel
Most Appropriate For Ages: 14+
Where I Got It: For review through tour site
Other titles in series: Nightshade
Goodreads Summary: When Calla Tor wakes up in the lair of the Searchers, her sworn enemies, she’s certain her days are numbered. But then the Searchers make her an offer—one that gives her the chance to destroy her former masters and save the pack—and the man—she left behind. Is Ren worth the price of her freedom? And will Shay stand by her side no matter what? Now in control of her own destiny, Calla must decide which battles are worth fighting and how many trials true love can endure and still survive.
My opinion
Once again Andrea Cremer surprises me. This captivating world that I need to find out more about is exciting and very different from other books out there. This book will keep you reading all the way to the end.
It begins right where the first book ended. In this book we see the romance blossom between Calla and Shay, and there are many heated moments between the two. But Calla finds herself thinking over and over about Ren and how he lied to help her escape, she fights against her feelings for the pack alpha and what they might mean.
Calla will need to fight along with the Searchers to save her old pack and rescue them from what she now knows as a lie. The book has a lot of important background on her story at the beginning it is a little slow to get into the action. But all the information Andrea Cremer provides is vital for the story.
Once you get to the action is NON STOP crazy. Everything happens at once and it is heart stopping, heart breaking and jut plain amazing Andrea Cremer.
And the ending ... it left me wanting more and of course I had a peek at Bloodrose first pages. I wish I wouldn't have because I want to find out more about what will happen.
I give this book 5/5 hearts
