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!

Accomplice by Eireann Corrigan

Wow, what a plot.  Finn and Chloe are seniors and worried about getting into a top notch school.  Lots of people get good grades, lots of people are in 4H, what will make them special?  This is when they plan Chloe's "kidnapping."  Believing that this will make Chloe and her best friend stand out and be remember when she is discovered, they actually go through with it.  The book takes off from the beginning, the plan is already in motion and its not till later that you get the back story of their planning and what led to their decisions.  I didn't fall in love with this book, but I did have to keep reading it just to see how everything turned out in the end.  Brings up a lot of ethical issues when you see what these girls put their parents, friends and town through.

Ripper by Stefan Petrucha

This is MY kind of historical fiction!  SERIAL KILLERS...well, one very well known serial killer, Jack the Ripper.  This is the story of Carver Young, an orphan in 1800s New York.  Carver wants nothing more than to be a detective. He gets his wish when events lead him to begin looking for his biological father.  In doing this he gets embroiled in the manhunt for the world's most notorious serial killer, Jack the Ripper.  I loved the author notes at the end of the book where he addresses what things he made up and what things were accurate to the time period.  This was a fantastic read, I couldn't put it down!

13 Curses by Michelle Harrison

Oh, I loved this one as much as the first in the series!  This one focuses more on Red as she tries to get her brother back and return to the "real world" after she was sent to the "fairy realm" at the end of the last book.  LOTS happens in this book, secrets are revealed and it really makes you want to hurry out and read the final book in the trilogy.  THIS is where things get disappointing, I don't have this for the library YET...but I am hoping to purchase it today!
