The Shapeshifter's Secret by Heather Ostler

Pages:  328
Publishers:  Cedar Fort
Expected Publishing Date:  June 12, 2012

She tried telling herself to stop, but it was useless. Something had fully claimed her mind and body. A sound began to erupt from inside her chest, a deep sort of growl that seized her entire being. She felt as if there was a grizzly bear inside her, trying to escape. And then a deafening roar echoed from her mouth, only inches away from Lancer’s face. It took everything inside of her not to attack him.

In Julia’s life, timing is everything. Like the time her paranoid father put bars on her window so she wouldn’t sneak out at night—even though she’s never given him a reason not to trust her. Or the time this weird new kid showed up at her school and pretty much every girl in sight instantly and inexplicably fell in love with him. What was up with that?

But as time moves on, things in Julia’s life go from strange to seriously impossible. Now it’s all she can do to keep herself and the life she’s always known from falling apart.
This fast-paced action-adventure story is packed with humor, romance, and enough twists and turns to keep you guessing to the very last page. Get lost in a world of hidden royalty, shifting alliances, and dangerous vendettas, but don’t ever forget: nothing is what it seems.

Review:

I really hate to give negative reviews, but it sometimes can't be helped.  I really do like this book, but it felt flat. The characters were flat and had no background, even the beginning of the story was wrong. The book started out in the middle and the readers had no knowledge on what Julia's life was like before Caleb came into it. I wasn't even able to get past the first two chapters. And to end this review with a good note, the only thing good about this book was the cover which is very beautiful by the way. I'm giving this book 2 stars, unfortunately.

Sneak peek of The Immortal Rules by Julia Kagawa

I apologize to everyone for not posting on my blog for so long, but it seems that school takes up so much time that I only have time for breathing, eating, or sleeping.  To make it up those who have followed me loyally during my long hiatus I have searched and found a snek peek for you all.  This is book one of the Blood of Eden series by Julia Kagawa.  Here is a synopsis of the book from goodreads:


In a future world, Vampires reign. Humans are blood cattle. And one girl will search for the key to save humanity.

Allison Sekemoto survives in the Fringe, the outermost circle of a vampire city. By day, she and her crew scavenge for food. By night, any one of them could be eaten.

Some days, all that drives Allie is her hatred of them. The vampires who keep humans as blood cattle. Until the night Allie herself is attacked—and given the ultimate choice. Die… or become one of the monsters.


Faced with her own mortality, Allie becomes what she despises most. To survive, she must learn the rules of being immortal, including the most important: go long enough without human blood, and you will go mad.


Then Allie is forced to flee into the unknown, outside her city walls. There she joins a ragged band of humans who are seeking a legend—a possible cure to the disease that killed off most of humankind and created the rabids, the mindless creatures who threaten humans and vampires alike.


But it isn't easy to pass for human. Especially not around Zeke, who might see past the monster inside her. And Allie soon must decide what—and who—is worth dying for.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And here is a link to the sneak peek of the book at scribd hope you enjoy!!!!  And sound of comments below, because I will keep searching for more sneak peeks from other books for you all.

Stork (Stork #1) by Wendy Delsol


Pages:  335
Publishers:  Candlewick
Published:  October 12, 2010

Family secrets. Lost memories. And the arrival of an ancient magical ability that will reveal everything. 

Sixteen-year-old Katla LeBlanc has just moved from Los Angeles to Minnesota. As if it weren’t enough that her trendy fashion sense draws stares, Katla soon finds out that she’s a Stork, a member of a mysterious order of women tasked with a very unique duty. But Katla’s biggest challenge may be finding her flock at a new school. Between being ignored by Wade, the arrogant jock she stupidly fooled around with, and constantly arguing with gorgeous farm boy and editor-in-chief Jack, Katla is relieved when her assignment as the school paper’s fashion columnist brings with it some much-needed friendship. But as Homecoming approaches, Katla uncovers a shocking secret about her past — a secret that binds her fate to Jack’s in a way neither could have ever anticipated. With a nod to Hans Christian Andersen and inspired by Norse lore, Wendy Delsol’s debut novel introduces a hip and witty heroine who finds herself tail-feathers deep in small-town life.

Review:

She combines both folklore and present day. The 21st century with a mix of the Stork. The mythical bird, which said to be the bringer of babies. Katla is a wonderful character who doesn't let anyone walk over her. The only thing she doesn't know about her new move to the country is that she use to live there. The kids all stare at her like she carries the plague and she seems to attract boys. One evil and one with ice for a heart

This is a story of memories forgotten an found. Of new beginnings and old acquaintances. Ok. Now I sound like I'm spouting poetry.  Let me sum it up for you people. Katla is a stork. Someone who decides who gets babies and who doesn't. She gets dream visions of the baby and the vessels (women) who could be chosen as the mother of the baby.

Then she finds out that there are enemies who could mask themselves as her friend. This story has action in almost every chapter and I love her fashion advice!  I'm giving this book 4 stars because some or the parts did not make much sense.  But this was still a good story.
