Mortal Kiss by Alice Moss

A bit about the book
'We've known each other forever - it's just
taken this long to find each other ...'

When smouldering Finn and sexy Lucas arrive in Winter Mill, life starts to get very complicated for Faye McCarron.

But two boys battling for her heart is just the start; events in town are turning sinister. There's a dead body in the woods, a motorcycle gang on the prowl, and the snow just won't stop falling.

Something evil is at work, and only Faye and best friend Liz can stop it. As the temperature drops and the nights draw in towards Hallowe'en, they must uncover the dark secret at the heart of Winter Mill - before it's too late.

What I thought
Good book! I saw this book in the supermarket last week and I absolutely loved the cover so I bought it. I got home and read it in one sitting and I really enjoyed it.
I loved the storyline and I liked how there was two boys in the mix. And it looks like there's going to be a second book so I'm definitely looking forward to that.
The characters were great and I really enjoy books that are set around high schools. I highly recommend this book for people that love paranormal YA books!

Possessing Rayne by Kate Cann

A bit about the book
A scratch at the door.
Owl cries in the night.
Black candles burnt to the ground.


Why is Rayne suddenly so frightened by everything? She's come here to get away from the stifling city, away from her mother and her boyfriend - to find space and silence.

But she's mystified by her new group of friends . . . why are they so interested in the old house?

Rayne can't imagine what's coming. . .

What I thought
Good book! I enjoyed this book, it was a bit short but it had a great storyline and the characters were brilliant. Another plus for me is that it's written by a British writer - Kate Cann - and the story is set in Britain (which I really enjoy because I know I'm gonna understand all of the slang lol). This book made a refreshing change from the usual books I read and I can't wait to read the next one, Fire and Rayne!

Top Review
Daily Telegraph - "...a serious thriller ... beautifully written, deeply frightening."

The Mirror - "Although aimed at young adults, this is about as spine-tingling as a novel gets. Rayne, the teenage heroine, finds that like away from London in a rural idyll is not as peaceful as she'd been led to believe. In fact, it's terrifying. And why is she being warned off new friend St John, who's like no man she's ever met? Dark and gothic with plenty of hidden secrets.

Jessica's Guide To Dating On The Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey

A bit about the book
The undead can really
screw up your senior year . . .

Marrying a vampire definitely doesn't fit in to Jessica Packwood's senior-year "get a life" plan. But then a bizarre (and incredibly hot) new exchange student named Lucius Vladescu shows up, claiming that Jessica is a Romanian vampire princess by birth and he's her long-lost fiance. Armed with newfound confidence and a copy of Growing Up Dead: A Teen Vampire's Guide to Dating, Health, and Emotions, Jessica makes a dramatic transition from average American teenager to glam European vampire princess. But Jessica has never even been kissed - how can she possibly commit herself to a long-term relationship? Or an eternal relationship, for that matter?

What I thought
Great book! I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it kept me entranced from start to finish. I will admit, I am quite a big fan of books like these, and this one had everything I enjoy about these certain books. There was humour, wit, passion, anger, and it just drew me in.
I am definitely a fan of Lucius now lol.

Top Reviews
Publishers Weekly, starred review - "This first novel quickly bursts ahead of the pack of Twilight-wannabes . . . . The romance sizzles, the plot develops ingeniously and suspensefully, and the satire sings."

The Bulletin - "Jessica evolves nicely with each new shocking revelation, becoming, over the course of the novel, an intriguing and strong protagonist . . . romance buffs will find the ultimate pairing of Lucius and Jessica absolutely irresistible, and it's downright swoonworthy once their elaborate courting ritual begins in earnest."
