Bought/Review/Won:





Happy Halloween! Today I finished reading the Scorch Trails by James Dashner, which is the second book in the Maze Runner series. If you haven't read the first book I would warn you not continue reading. Hope you enjoy!

~~~

Plot: Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. No more variables. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escape meant he and the Gladers would get their lives back. But no one really knew what sort of life they were going back to.

In the Maze, life was easy. They had food, and shelter, and safety . . . until Teresa triggered the end. In the world outside the Maze, however, the end was triggered long ago.

Burned by sun flares and baked by a new, brutal climate, the earth is a wasteland. Government has disintegrated—and with it, order—and now Cranks, people covered in festering wounds and driven to murderous insanity by the infectious disease known as the Flare, roam the crumbling cities hunting for their next victim . . . and meal.
The Gladers are far from finished with running. Instead of freedom, they find themselves faced with another trial. They must cross the Scorch, the most burned-out section of the world, and arrive at a safe haven in two weeks. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them.

Thomas can only wonder—does he hold the secret of freedom somewhere in his mind? Or will he forever be at the mercy of WICKED?

Review: It seemed like one man for themselves in this book. The problems were even more harder and scary then the last book. The characters did developed in this book in a way that scarred them for life. There are new and more horrific creatures like the Cranks and another creatures which didn't seem to have a name. It was confusing at times for why Wicked was hurting them and giving them so many problems. The writing was well done and just the idea was amazing. I give this book a 5/5 and I am looking forward to the 3rd book in this amazing series.

Demonglass (A Hex Hall Novel)

Rachel Hawkins

Young Adult

February 22, 2011

The first book, Hex Hall was filled will action, mystery, love, and a shocking secret. Those four things made me fall in love with the story. There were a few questions unanswered, but the ending of the first book didn't seem like it was going to be a series. I am happy there will be a second book and can't wait to get some of my questions answered and probably gain many more.

From Amazon:

Sophie Mercer thought she was a witch.

That was the whole reason she was sent to Hex Hall, a reform school for delinquent Prodigium (aka witches, shapeshifters, and fairies). But that was before she discovered the family secret, and that her hot crush, Archer Cross, is an agent for The Eye, a group bent on wiping Prodigium off the face of the earth.

Turns out, Sophie’s a demon, one of only two in the world—the other being her father. What’s worse, she has powers that threaten the lives of everyone she loves. Which is precisely why Sophie decides she must go to London for the Removal, a dangerous procedure that will destroy her powers.

But once Sophie arrives she makes a shocking discovery. Her new friends? They’re demons too. Meaning someone is raising them in secret with creepy plans to use their powers, and probably not for good. Meanwhile, The Eye is set on hunting Sophie down, and they’re using Acher to do it. But it’s not like she has feelings for him anymore. Does she?

Hello, Everyone! Over at YA Addict, Jami is having a re-create cover contest for Split by Swati Avasthi. So if you would like to join all you have to do is make a cover for this book and give the link to Jami on her website. Here is the link. Open until October 31 or until she receives 30 covers. At the end of voting Swati will pick the remaining two winners out of the last five and they will recieve a copy of Split. This book sounds amazing so you better make your covers fast, if you want to win this book!

Summary:

Sixteen-Year-Old Jace Witherspoon arrives at the doorstep of his estranged brother Christian with a re-landscaped face (courtesy of his father’s fist), $3.84, and a secret.
He tries to move on, going for new friends, a new school, and a new job, but all his changes can’t make him forget what he left behind—his mother, who is still trapped with his dad, and his ex-girlfriend, who is keeping his secret.

At least so far.

Worst of all, Jace realizes that if he really wants to move forward, he may first have to do what scares him most: He may have to go back. First-time novelist Swati Avasthi has created a riveting and remarkably nuanced portrait of what happens after. After you’ve said enough, after you’ve run, after you’ve made the split—how do you begin to live again? Readers won’t be able to put this intense page-turner down.
