Cut by Patricia McCormick

Callie cuts herself, never too deep just enough to feel the pain. She gets put into Saint Pines, a treatment facility, when her parents decide they don't know how to help her. Callie has nothing to do with anyone at the facility, she just keeps to herself. But throughout the story she slowly opens up and even starts to make friends. Callie wants to get better and go home but she doesn't think she can stop cutting. I'll admit this book was a little different and strange. Having dealt with this sort of stuff it was a little rough at some points for me to read. This book is very controversial, as is this topic in society today, so there are a lot of mixed reviews on this book. I think that you should read this book if you're curious about cutting, depression or these kind of treatment facilities. I will warn you if you have a history of cutting this could be a very triggering book for you, as it was for me.

Then one day while she was working at her mother's doll shop, Xander comes in and her opinion about rich people slowly changes. First of all, I love love love Caymen. She's witty, sarcastic and funny, she is totally my favorite! I think that's what made this book so enjoyable! If you like a strong female main character you will enjoy this book.

The Heir by Kiera Cass

Twenty years ago America Singer was in the selection where she was chosen by Prince Maxon and made queen, now her daughter Eadelyn is being forced to have a selection of her own. Eadelyn wants nothing to do with it but her parents feel like it's the distraction the kingdom needs. All she wants is to be her own independent leader no king needed. She by no means thinks it will end in romance but as the course of the selection goes on she realizes it isn't as impossible as she thought it'd be. Eadelyn takes some getting used to character wise, she can be a little mean and not as likable. If you didn't like The Selection don't read this book, I promise you that you will not like this one. BUT if you loved The Selection as much as I did stop reading this now and start reading the book!!

Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult

Delilah loves books and would rather just stay in her book than be in the real world. Her mother is worried about her, especially when she find an old fairytale book at the library and reads it over and over again. One day when Delilah is reading the book she realizes that the main character, Oliver can talk to her. All Oliver wants to do is get out of the story he’s been made to replay over and over again his whole life and thinks that Delilah can help him get out of the book. I loved the concept of this book and even liked how it was executed. I felt like it was simpler then my actual reading level but I don't think there's anything wrong with reading below your reading level once and awhile. I recommend this book to anyone who loves books and who have a little fairytale in their heart.

Entice by Carrie Jones

Nick is gone, killed by some evil, mystical thing, and no where to be found. He gets taken right in the middle of a large pixie attack going on in Bedford. Pixies are taking students and more and more people have just disappeared. Zara knows she’s supposed to be with Nick, he's her soulmate, but in order to get him back she has to kiss Astley and become his pixie queen. Kissing him will turn her pixie making her stronger and it will also give Astley more power. Zara worries that even when they find Nick he won’t even want to be with her when he finds out what she’s done. No one hates pixies more than him. This book made me re-think who Zara should be with. Until this book I felt it was supposed to be her and Nick all the way but this book made me reconsider the possibility of her being with Astley. He clearly cares about her, more than just needing a queen, he spends the whole book helping her find Nick because he's who she cares about. I love this series so far and if you've been through book one and two you'll love this one too!

City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

Clary just wants to go back to her normal life and be done with the Shadow world but that’s kind of hard since her mother is in a magical coma. Things with her life has changed a lot since she started being able to see the shadow world and since she found out Jace is her brother. Ever since Jace and Clary found out that they're siblings Jace has been acting cold and crass towards Clary making her have an even harder time coping with everything that's going on in her life. She has Simon, and their relationship is growing but he doesn't understand as much as she wishes he could. I had a hard time putting this book down. It was a lot of non stop, what's going to happen next, kind of stuff. Definitely more exciting then the first book (not that I didn't love the first one). Many people have a problem with everything about Jace and Clary, I'd just like to say this. They didn't do anything 'gross' enough to call it incest. I also am of the belief it'd be grosser if they grew up as brother and sister, but they didn't. I'm not say that that makes incest okay I'm just saying it's not as disgusting as many reviewers make it out to be. I recommend this book to anyone who genuinely liked the first one.

Just Ella by Margaret Peterson Haddix

This book is about what happens to Cinderella after she finds her prince. And the reality of what happens isn’t all "Happily Ever After" like she thought it’d be and what most people think it was. Once she moved to the castle Ella had to take boring classes and learn everything she didn’t grow up learning, like how to needle point and be a princess. Ella soon realizes that she is not made to become queen or even be a princess but it is harder to break off the engagement than she thought it would be. I have to say this first off, I was not a fan of this book. I love the concept but for me it could have been more elaborate and well written. The main problem that I and other reviewers had with this book was how annoying and unlikeable Ella is. It's really hard to like a book when the main character is unlikeable. I can't even put my finger on it. Another thing that kept me from diving into this book was how simply written it was, I think that this would be a great bed time story to read to a 10 year-old but it should not be catagorized as young adult. I mainly recommend this book to Cinderella lovers who can't get enough or middle schoolers.
