Numbers by Rachel Ward

Another Trilogy...and this one grabs you from the start...I now have to immediately start number 2!  This story focuses on Jem.  She tells her story in 1st person.  Jem has the ability to see the date that people will die and it is a huge burden for her to know this information.  Her and her one friend get thrown into a bizarre situation when they are seen running away from the bombing of the London Eye Ferris wheel.  Now Jem and her friend are on the run!  This is a great story.

13 Secrets by Michelle Harrison

As good as the other two!  This final story in the trilogy is great.  Like the Harry Potter series this trilogy seems to get darker with each book.  This one is full of revenge and death.  A great finish to a great trilogy.

Bad Hair Day by Carrie Harris

Now that Kate solved the zombie crisis in her town in Bad Taste in Boys, she is faced with another mystery.  This time someone is killing kids and it looks like whatever is doing it has LOTS of hair and claws!!  Kate continues to entertain in this book and we get to see more of her "dorktastic" brother Jonah.  I love both of these books and am looking forward to more from this author.

Bad Taste in Boys by Carrie Harris

Oh, this is a great book.  What an interesting twist to the zombie story.  Told in the 1st person by the main character, Kate Grable.  Kate is a stitch!  She is a self proclaimed science geek who is desperate to go to medical school.  Kate is the trainer of her high school's football team and something fishy is going on with the team.  There are some gory details (black vomit and loss of body parts) so beware.  Such and enjoyable read!  I finished the first one at home and was so sad that I had left Kate's next adventure at school!
