Reached by Ally Condie

This was the final book in the crossed trilogy.  It was wrapped up really nicely. It didn't leave me hanging and left me content with how it ended.  Matched of course I thought was great, crossed I was pretty disappointed in.  It went on and on and was just not good until the end.  Cassia, Xander, and Ky are all on their different assignments from the rising, all scattered.  At first you are hearing from each person while they are on their assignments and eventually there are new characters introduced and the plot thickens so they say.  It gets really good.  It becomes more than just a love triangle, things are set into motion that aren't understood and that has to be figured out.  There's more travel throughout the society and even to the outskirts of the otherlands.  I don't want to get into too much detail and give everything away, but the story will take an unexpected turn and you can't help but feel involved in what is happening with these characters.  All strings were wrapped up in the end like I said.  There was complete closure with this story.  I wouldn't say I was really excited about this book because it wasn't the absolute best series I've read, but I would totally suggest it if someone asked. Happy Reading!

Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins

This was another book I had that had just been hanging out on my nook.  I started it Monday and haven't been able to put it down!  ABSOLUTELY loved this book.  It's a great love story with angels, demons and nephilim thrown in.  It's REALLY great.  I wouldn't suggest this to a kid under high school level though because it deals with the seven deadly sins and lust is one of those!  Could NOT put it down.  Really bummed though that the second one won't be coming out sooner.  It's about a girl who comes to the realization that her dad was a duke of lucifer and her mother was an angel.  She's really not suppose to exist and could be in a lot of danger.  She's raised by an adoptive mother as her angel mother died during birth.  Her father has been in prison "working".  She eventually meets another nephilim who then sets events into motion.  Where as most nephilim are full demon, she has some angel in here and has both good and bad natures.  It is such a really good story.  The author really goes into explaining why the demons are a certain way without being to religious and too corny.  I really enjoyed this one and would strongly suggest.  Happy Reading!

The mark of Athena by Rick Riordan

This book is the third installment to the Rick Riordan Lost Heroes of Olympus Series.  Rick Riordan is a great author.  He has also written the Lightning Thief Series which was absolutely GREAT.  A movie was made for the first book, The Lightning Thief, and a movie is in the makings for the second book, The Sea Of Monsters.  Of course the books are always better, so read them before you see the movies!  The reason i bring up the Lightning Thief Series is because I would advise reading that series before you read this one.  This book brings the Romans and Greeks together with a group of 7 demigods going on a quest together to pretty much save the world.  TONS of action throughout the book.  It is a longer book, but every book Rick Riordan publishes seems to be even better than the last.  Since there's so many characters coming together in this book from the previous told story there are many different paths that are taken and explored all while still making it a good story in going back and forth to each group of demigods while they are on their separate quests and even as they come together.  SUPER great story.  Would strongly recommend this series.  Happy Reading!!!!
