FADE! Review!
REMEMBER THAT THIS IS THE SECOND BOOK AFTER WAKE! ITS AWESOME!
Be sure to pick up FADE, February 10th!
FADE grips readers from the first page, and the story holds your attention through the whole book. The story keeps you wondering about Janies new “gift”.
Janies hard life is still following her, and she can’t get away from it. The only person that Janie can trust in is Cabel, but they can’t be seen in public because of their job with Captain.
Janie is now learning from things that Mrs. Stubin has left for any new dream catchers. Janie relationship with Cabel is getting strained, and she is getting put into diffucult situations that she can’t handle. The story keeps you guessing, from beginning to end! Lisa is a wonderful writer, and has amazing talent!

Hey, I recently was looking for books and came across this one and looked so good, that I ordered it right after I read some reviews!
The book is called The Dust of 100 Dogs, by A.S King.
Here is the summary from AMAZON,
In the late seventeenth century, famed teenage pirate Emer Morrisey was on the cusp of escaping the pirate life with her one true love and unfathomable riches when she was slain and cursed with “the dust of one hundred dogs,” dooming her to one hundred lives as a dog before returning to a human body-with her memories intact.Now she’s a contemporary American teenager and all she needs is a shovel and a ride to Jamaica.
It sounds amazing, and this book is on the mature side 14-15+ Thanks! And it is a Young Adult book!
UPDATE-Finished the book and it was so good!
************************************************************************************************************
Hey, I am currently reading a series by Carrie Vaughn! The series is about WEREWOLVES, and VAMPIRES! The two things that we love here on Twilight Series Theories! I am currently reading Kitty and the Dead Man’s Hand! So far its so good! I have all the books, and it is a fun story with , werewolves, and vampire, Oh-MY!
Here are the books,
Kitty Norville (Werewolf)
- Kitty and the Midnight Hour (2005)
- Kitty Goes to Washington (2006)
- Kitty Takes a Holiday (2007)
- Kitty and the Silver Bullet (2008)
- Kitty and the Dead Man’s Hand (February 2009)
- Kitty Raises Hell (March/April 2009)
The links above are for AMAZON.COM! Books 5, and 6, are currently not out, they will be out soon, and as I am half way through book 5, its really good!
Here is the summary of the first book from AMAZON.COM
VAMPIRES. WEREWOLVES. TALK RADIO. Kitty Norville is a midnight-shift DJ for a Denver radio station—and a werewolf in the closet. Sick of lame song requests, she accidentally starts “The Midnight Hour,” a late-night advice show for the supernaturally disadvantaged. After desperate vampires, werewolves, and witches across the country begin calling in to share their woes, her new show is a raging success. But it’s Kitty who can use some help. With one sexy werewolf-hunter and a few homicidal undead on her tail, Kitty may have bitten off more than she can chew…
These books are under the FANTASY Genre! Just a heads up!
UPDATE- This book was very cool, and had a nice spin on your ordinary werewolf stories!
**********************************************************************************************************
Hey! I recently recieved FADE by Lisa McMann, and I have not finished it, but so far its AMAZING! I love this story that Lisa creates! The book comes out Feburary 10th! So look out for it in stores! Be sure to read WAKE, the first book in the series!
Also guys when ever I recommend a book and you read it, and like or dislike it email me at alexmtst@gmail.com and let me know! Thanks!
FADE by Lisa Mcmann
Here is the AMAZON summary!
SOME NIGHTMARES NEVER END.
For Janie and Cabel, real life is getting tougher than the dreams. They’re just trying to carve out a little (secret) time together, but no such luck.
Disturbing things are happening at Fieldridge High, yet nobody’s talking. When Janie taps into a classmate’s violent nightmares, the case finally breaks open — but nothing goes as planned. Not even close. Janie’s in way over her head, and Cabe’s shocking behavior has grave consequences for them both.
Worse yet, Janie learns the truth about herself and her ability — and it’s bleak. Seriously, brutally bleak. Not only is her fate as a dream catcher sealed, but what’s to come is way darker than she’d feared….
Thanks!
UPDATE- Finished this book and Lisa did it again the story is awesome, and I can’t wait for GONE (book3)
**************************************************************************************************************
Hey! Alex here! I got an email today from Abby Harris, and she recommeded Night World no. 1. I also got this recommendation from alot of other people, so thanks to all!
Here is the description from AMAZON.com
Vampires, werewolves, witches, shapeshifters — they live among us without our knowledge. Night World is their secret society, a secret society with very strict rules. And falling in love breaks all the laws of the Night World.
In Secret Vampire, Poppy thought the summer would last forever. Then she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Now Poppy’s only hope for survival is James, her friend and secret love. A vampire in the Night World, James can make Poppy immortal. But first they both must risk everything to go against the laws of Night World.
Fugitives from Night World, three vampire sisters leave their isolated home to live among humans in Daughters of Darkness. Their brother, Ash, is sent to bring the girls back, but he falls in love with their beautiful friend.Two witch cousins fight over their high school crush. It’s a battle between black magic and white magic in Spellbinder.
The book is about Vampires as it says above, and I was a little dissapointed haha, because in the AMAZON reviews, so many people were saying how much they loved this story, even more than TWILIGHT! I know *gasp*!

Hey, the staffer that is recommending a book for the month of January. So when I told Kallie that she is going to have to givea book recommendations, this is the responce that I got!
Kallie Mathews gave 5 stars to: Outlander (Outlander, Book 1) by Diana Gabaldon
bookshelves: currently-readingOk… so I am a little over halfway through and LOVE IT! I can’t believe there is still more to read… this book is HUGE!
With that responce, I am guessing that this book is GREAT!
Here is the AMAZON summary!
In Outlander, a 600-page time-travel romance, strong-willed and sensual Claire Randall leads a double life with a husband in one century, and a lover in another. Torn between fidelity and desire, she struggles to understand the pure intent of her heart. But don’t let the number of pages and the Scottish dialect scare you. It’s one of the fastest reads you’ll have in your library.While on her second honeymoon in the British Isles, Claire touches a boulder that hurls her back in time to the forbidden Castle Leoch with the MacKenzie clan. Not understanding the forces that brought her there, she becomes ensnared in life-threatening situations with a Scots warrior named James Fraser. But it isn’t all spies and drudgery that she must endure. For amid her new surroundings and the terrors she faces, she is lured into love and passion like she’s never known before.
Thanks, keep the recommendation coming!!!!

DISTANT WAVES A NOVEL OF THE TITANIC!
Distant Waves is a romance novel that is about two couples. The main story follows Jane, a 16 year old girl, who’s mother believes that she can contact the spirit world. The story takes place over 16 long years. Jane’s mother gets the chance to go to England, for a conference, and on the way back, Jane, and her sisters accidentally get stuck on the Titanic, what will happen? The story is a must read, a truly wonderful novel! The story is written very well, and will keep the reader wondering, a real page turner, with a different type of ending! The only bad thing about this book is that the characters never actually get on the Titanic til page 200.

The Dangerous Days of Daniel X
James Patterson does it again, with this great book. Like most Patterson books its a quick read, with a great plot. At first I was hesitant to read this because I don’t enjoy alien novels, but this is an exception! Daniels parents were killed by an Alien when he was young, and now that he has grown up he is hunting Aliens on Earth, trying to get to the Alien that murdered his parents. Daniel has great powers and the one power that I love is he can create things with his mind….All he has to do is think it and BAM, it is there! how cool! Must read!
-Alex (Currently reading the second in the series review up soon!–Out July 27th 2009)

Here is my review for probably the most popular recommendation that I have been getting from you people!
Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment is a very interesting read. The story is about six kids, that call themselves mutate freaks. When they were younger, a place called “The School” injected them with bird genes. So now, they are 98% human, and 2% bird. The only real quality of a bird that they have is their wings. Which yes they can fly with! Each of the kids look up to Maximum, as there parent figure since she is the oldest. Therefore, what happens when the youngest of their flock gets kidnapped and taken back to “The School” Max’s only mission is to get her back! This book is an awesome read, which you will not put down until the last page. My recommendation is to buy book one and book two or rent them at once because book one will leave you wanting more! (There are currently five books in the series!)
Maximum Ride Schools Out Forever Review coming soon!

Here is the review for the next Daniel X Book Watch The Skies, which comes out July 27th 2009! (I could not get the picture to for the cover, but the Amazon link has the cover!) Sorry!
Daniel lives in a quite town of Holliswood. A normal city in America, kids playing in the streets, going to school, listening to iPod, going on the computer…ect. But only Daniel notices something stranger than normal, every TV in Holliswood, and every iPod, and other electronic devices starts playing music, and won’t stop. The reason is a new alien outlaw has landed on Earth. This aliens powers are stronger than expected, he can control any electronic device that he wants to at his will. Daniel, and his “friends” do all they can do to stop this horrific alien before he takes over Earth! What will happen to Daniel X? This book is a great follow up to The Dangerous Days of Daniel X, and will leave you wanting more!

This book has a fast pace fun plot. If you like a mystery with some romance than you’ll love this story! Delia is just an average teenage girl that has the worst luck. Her father died when she was younger, and her mother who was on a trip to Antarctica just disappeared. Now she is forced to move to New York City with her aunt.
That’s not even the worst part, Delia knows that her mother, T.K, is not dead, she is alive, but nobody will believe her. Delia is on a mission to locate her mother, but experiences many hardships. One is that she starts falling for a guy named Quinn, but she tries to keep her priorities straight, and find her mother. This boo is a very great read, an adventures girl on a mission that makes everything unravel.
Book comes out July 2009!

Columbine by Dave Cullen
This book is a great, very educational about what happened with the 1999 school shooting at Columbine High School. Dave Cullen has been writing this book over ten years. He is the leading person to go to on anything Columbine. This book talks about the events leading up to the shootings, and why. In this retelling of the 1999 events, Dave tells a complete story of everything that happened with the school, how they have overcome the shootings, and what has changed over the years!
I loved this book!

Shiver is a wonderful book that capures your imagination, and heart! Shiver follows a teenage girl named Grace, who has always been in love with the wolves in the woods behind her house. One in particular, a wolf with unique yellow eyes! The wolf is named Sam, and he waits in the woods, with his pack all winter long until he can see his summer girl, Grace. He can only visit her in the summer because that is when he is human! I thought that Shiver has a wonderful plot that has twist that not even I could have seen coming! This book is a great wonderful read! Pick this up when it is released August 1!

This book was totally amazing, but WARNING, this is published as an Adult book, with language, sexually scenes, and violence! Just a heads up!

The Hollow by Jessica Verday is a phenomenal read that will leave you itching to read the sequel! Abbey, a teenage girl, has just lost her best friend Kristen – to a freak accident where is fell into a river. This seems very odd to Abbey because when they were just pre-teens they promised each other that they would never go to the river without the other just in case something happened, and Kristen broke that promise. This leaves Abbey wondering what could have happened to Kristen. Abbey and Kristen use to visit the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, but now it feels weird to Abbey because Kristen now lives there, 6 feet under the ground. Still Abbey stops by the Cemetery almost every day, she evens meets someone, a guy, who she starts to fall for. In time, Caspian and Abbey become close, but as Abbey gets to know him things get stranger and stranger. Abbey also continues to search to find out what happened and why Kristen was done at the river, she soon discovers something that makes Abbey re-think their whole friendship. She soon has to think about her love for Caspian and what it is really about, it is as if he is too good to be true.
Jessica Verday is my favorite break out author of 2009! She writes with such passion that it is hard not to think that this is fiction. The Hollow is such a wonderful book full of twists. I think that you should go pre-order this book now because it will fly off the shelves at your local bookstore! Its not your average love story, it’s a love story with a paranormal twist!

Everyone knows the story of Cinderella, right. Well ASH is a different kind of Cinderella story. Much different. Aisling, better known as Ash, losses her mother at a very young age, and when her father get remarried Ash learns to live with it. But when her father becomes deeply ill, and dies she is forced to live with her step mother and her two daughters. Ash is forced to work as a maid around the house to repay her step mother for her fathers debts. On her free time Ash slips into the forest where she feels closest to her mother, but she soon discovers someone – a man – but soon she discovers that he is not really a man, but a fairy. His name Sidhean, and he promises to grant Ash anything she desires but at a cost, that he will not tell. Later in the same Wood Ash meets someone that changes her life, the Kings Huntress, Kaisa, who Ash becomes very close with. Through the story you watch their blooming friendship turn into a wonderful relationship.
This is a powerful, and different retelling of Cinderella. I have read many “retellings” of Cinderella, and other fairy tales, but this one is unique and has a special quality to it. Malinda Lo is a very talented debut writer, a new voice in Young Adult fiction.
Now I have to say this Ash is a ” lesbian retelling of Cinderella” but I think its more than that, I dont look at it like that, just two people who fall in love. A beautifully debut novel by Malinda Lo!
Click here to see the full jacket for ASH, published by Little Brown Young readers, September 2009!

I am also on goodreads.com. It is a great site for keeping track of what you have read and want to read AND what your friends are reading also. They also have groups on the site. It might be easier to setup a group there for comments and suggestions and talking about specific books then in the comments here. Just a suggestion!
Thanks Beth Im on Goodreads!
OMG I read Wake and Fade and they were really really good. Another good book to read would be Gone. It is about a world where all the adults dissapear. Then the bullies rule but what most kids don’t know is they will poof out of oblivion on their birthday.
Hey, Yes Alex, u must try City of bones again! It is a great story. Esp. if u like the Jacob vs Edward in Twilight. It kinda has that vibe going on and I will have to say Jace is as cool as Edward !
Also, I read the Gemma Doyle series just to see how it ended. It really never captured me the way Twilight or City of bones did! AND just a warning to all who read it – The end is not very satisfying! I was really disappointed, no real satisfaction like Twilight and Harry Potter!
Thanks for these book recomendations! Love them!
Has anyone read “The dust of 100 dogs”? I heard it is good on-line somewhere. Any one read it?
Hey guys!!
I know this is a really old book series but I would recomend the Narnia series by C.S. Lewis. It’s a really interesting book series, it’s a fantasy series & it answers all the questions that are created when watching the movies. I also really want you to chat about The Host I read it 2 weeks ago & I’ve already created a website about it. I’m writing fan fics about it because the story is left open, I really hope stephanie writes a sequal.
Who wrote Gone?
ggrockz68 The Dust of 100 Dogs is a great book, I love it and AS King is such a great author. I love her. Just was talking to her yesterday!
ALEX the whole Mortal Instruments series is nothing but a boatload of genius. they RoCk……! i fell in love with Jace throughout the next two. so try it again. you will love them. i promise. GO MORTAL INSTRUMENTS! AND MY NEW FAVORITE PERSON CASSANDRA CLARE!
I will re-read the first just for you Carly!
YAY THANK YOU! OMG OMG OMG OMG I HEART MORTAL INSTRUMENTS!!!!!!
EEEEEEEEE!
haha!
Hahah! Carly so if I do read it then you must read Maximum Ride!
i have read Max Ride. sorry. 🙂 🙂 🙂 i hated the last one but the first three were awesome.
and oh, sorry about the fangirling up there. i am not responsible for my actions when i turn into a screaming fangirl.
Wow, you guys took almost all of my recommedations, but I’ll put in the repeats anyways 🙂
-The Gemma Doyle Trilogy
-House of Night Series
-Maximum Ride
-Vampire Academy
-Night World
-The Mortal Instruments
– Pendragon Series (adventure books, good for younger readers. Be warned, there’s about 10 books in all )
-Wildwood Dancing (fantasy, good for younger readers, but older readers will enjoy it as well!)
-Cybele’s Secret ^ Sequel to Wildwood Dancing, but you don’t have to read Wildwood Dancing to “get” it
-Wicked: Witch and Curse and Wicked2: Legacy and Spellbound
Enjoy!
Thanks for everyone else’s suggestions!!

I have a book recommendation. I recently read Dead is the new Black, and it is a really good book with lots of action. It is about a family of phycics, all except for the main charachter. The book is about Vampires,Werewolfs,Ghosts, and all different kinds of supernatural creatures. This book is Mystery, Fantasy, and a little romance.
Alex i thought you didn’t like the HoN books. you said they were too sexual. so why now? and why aren’t you reading City of Bones????

-Alex
Hey Guys for more up to date recommendations on what I am reading you can follow me on twitter at
Twitter.com/Alex_Malerba
Do IT!
🙂
Happy Mother’s day!
yes i read and LOVED Hunger Games. i heart Peeta!
and i started Daniel X today. updates soon.
The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong – Great book about 500 pages and I read it in a day and a half; a record for me for a book that size( I don’t do that stay-up-to-the-crack-of-dawn-reading-thing )
It’s about a fifteen year old girl named Chloe who suddenly starts seeing ghosts. She is diagnosed with schizophrenia and is sent to a home for troubled teens. Her experiences there make her wonder if she’s really seeing ghosts not just seeing things that aren’t really there.
The Awakening is the second book in the trilogy and just came out at the end of last month.
I’ve also enjoyed reading the Sweep books by Cate Tiernan.
CARLY I want to know enjoying Daniel X??????
Can’t tell you it’s a surprise!!!!!
oh, burn! i just TOTALLY used your own tactic on you! i promise to tell you everything when i’m done. but i’m not done. so you won’t get to hear anything. tee hee. 😀
okay, Alex, i finished Daniel X today in school! (i’m still in school haha don’t tell) and let me tell you, you were right. it was pretty freaking good. i have to say, i am in love with Joe-Joe. we are like COMPLETELY similar. i eat twice my body weight in snack cakes on a daily basis.
lol, on to the book…i did like it. i liked Daniel’s voice–it was easy to read, and Daniel was relatable. i liked the premise of the book, although imagining a bad guy named Seth was hard. Seth Clearwater is too drilled into my head. and i pretty much tore through it.
i hate that you get sneak peeks of books! post the review for the next one soon!
Just wait the second one is EVEN Better!
Here is the review for the second one!
Here is the review for the next Daniel X Book Watch The Skies, which comes out July 27th 2009! (I could not get the picture to for the cover, but the Amazon link has the cover!) Sorry!
Daniel lives in a quite town of Holliswood. A normal city in America, kids playing in the streets, going to school, listening to iPod, going on the computer…ect. But only Daniel notices something stranger than normal, every TV in Holliswood, and every iPod, and other electronic devices starts playing music, and won’t stop. The reason is a new alien outlaw has landed on Earth. This aliens powers are stronger than expected, he can control any electronic device that he wants to at his will. Daniel, and his “friends” do all they can do to stop this horrific alien before he takes over Earth! What will happen to Daniel X? This book is a great follow up to The Dangerous Days of Daniel X, and will leave you wanting more!
ooohh! well July 27 2009 better hurry up! ’cause i wanna read REALLY bad. i rly rly liked Daniel X. 🙂 thanks for the recommendation.
so…how’s City of Bones going? 😉
GREAT! I am reading it but it may take me a while! cause I am reading more than one thing 🙂
….
Also soon I should be getting Kaleb Nations Book! AKA The Twilight Guy!
So Review will be up on that too! YA!
Hey Alex,
Great books. I’ve started reading a few and I just can’t put’em down. Thanks JOHN
well do you like City of Bones or what?
(do NOT say or what.)
Well, I guess I cant say no hahaha! no I am enjoying it!
