Captivate by Carrie Jones

After Zara and her friends successfully locked up all of the pixies, including Zara's father, a new king comes to town. With the king locked up, losing his control he has over the other pixies, things are chaotic in Bedford. Then Astley comes into town. He is a lot younger that her father, the only other king she's met, and he intrigues Zara. Nick, being the protective boyfriend he is, of course hates Astley's presence and it causes friction between him and Zara. But soon Zara has no choice but to work with Astley to help control the pixies. The first half of this book is mostly just taking off from where Need left off and building Nick and Zara's relationship. This is definitely a must read for the series but as many reviews do say, it's a boring book compared to the first one. If you loved Need this is a book you should push through to get through the rest of the series!

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

Clary Fray thinks she’s just a normal girl but when she goes to a club with her best friend, Simon, she sees something no one else does. Nobody notices a fight that goes on but her and after that her life completely started to change. She continues to see these people and things that no one else does. When she meets Jace, a Shadowhunter, he helps her understand what is going on. Then her mom gets kidnapped and Clary’s forced into the Shadowhunter world at full force. To my surprise there are a lot of people who think this book is poorly written and boring. I guess being in high school doesn't qualify me to truly judge but I do have enough education and reading knowledge to know I disagree with this. I found this book intriguing and suspenseful. But what I do have to say that completely sucks, DO NOT listen to the audio version. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good fantasy story. Shadowhunters are a new twist added into the supernatural world of books :)

The Catastrophic History of You and Me by Jess Rothenberg

Brie literally died of a broken heart. I'm not even kidding. Trust me, when I read the back of this book I laughed and was really worried it'd be totally lame because dying of a literal broken heart? Really? I picked it up and started reading it, it starts out very confusing but all in all it did surprise me. When Brie crosses over to ‘the other side’ she meets someone named Patrick, and he helps her out and tries to help her understand everything. All Brie wants to do is go back to her old life and when she finds out she can at least go and see her family of course she wants to! Patrick takes her to see her family she finds out that they are falling apart. Brie tries to find a way to help them and get the happily ever after she always wanted. To my surprise there are so many wonderful reviews about this book, I'm not surprised because I thought it sucked I just always find books that have shitty reviews and didn't think this would be any different. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good broken heart story. I will warn you though, this one may have a twist! Overall this was a very good book.

The Elite by Kiera Cass

It's now down to 6 girls all competing for Prince Maxon's heart and the competition is heating up! America is struggling with the choice between Maxon and Aspen, all she wants is more time but she's running out of it. Both Maxon and Aspen want her to decide but she doesn't want to lose either of them. This book does move rather slowly, as many people say in reviews, but I find it a necessary part in the series. America is very indecisive with her emotions in this book and it can feel slightly obsessive. It takes a lot to put up with and push back the constant back and forth of her love for Maxon or Aspen. This may be the classic 'filler book' but don't give up on the series, I honestly feel like if you enjoyed the first book you need to just push past this one to get to the rest! 

Ignore the reviews, just read it!!

Need by Carrie Jones

 Zara is obsessed with phobias, that’s her thing. She feels that if you know the name to something it’s not as scary. When she moved to Maine to be with her grandmother she saw someone that she thought she saw back at her old house. She tries to convince herself it's all in her head but she can’t prevent the feeling that she is being stalked. She soon finds out that this man stalking her isn’t human and that she's not the only one who can see him, he leaves behind a strange gold dust and his footprints just stop like he's disappeared. This book is filled with magic, and adventure. I recommend this book to anyone who liked Glimmerglass by Jenna Black or just anyone who likes a good mystical story. Now there are a lot of thumbs down reviews on this book and they all make okay points. Many reviews compare the beginning of this book to Twilight, awkward girl, bad family situation, whatever. I was a Twilight fan just like any other teenage girl but I honestly disagree with this. There's not enough resemblance to Twilight to not read this amazing book because of that. This book is well written and completely worth the read.
