College has been getting in the way of my reading....and now that it is time for break....reading will ensue!

I'm the kind of woman who loves a great book. I used to love the goofy romance books, but now I've decided I like the stuff with more twists, action, and....well.....more complex romance. I love all sorts of books, horror,... more »

    i havent read it yet but it sounds good and yea its a YA BOOK

    Fifteen-year-old Bridget Liu just wants to be left alone: by her mom, by the cute son of a local police sergeant, and by the eerie voices she can suddenly and inexplicably hear. Unfortunately for Bridget, it turns out the voices are demons – and Bridget has the rare ability to banish them back to whatever hell they came from.
    Terrified to tell people about her new power, Bridget confides in a local priest who enlists her help in increasingly dangerous cases of demonic possession. But just as she is starting to come to terms with her new power, Bridget receives a startling message from one of the demons. Now Bridget must unlock the secret to the demons’ plan before someone close to her winds up dead – or worse, the human vessel of a demon king.

    Thanks, LoveIsPeach, I'm glad you enjoyed SHADOWS IN THE MIST. I had a lot of fun researching and writing it. I even backpacked across Germany to gather research. My next horror novel, DEAD OF WINTER, which is set in Ontario and Quebec, Canada, releases as an ebook October 11 this year and as a paperback January 2012. Let me know if you read it.

    The last I checked at IMDb it said that the movie's still in development but it doesn't mention any actors. Hmm, who could I picture in the characters? I'm not seeing Josie in anyone but Robert Pattinson could be good as Jack. But then he's so closely associated with the Twilight films that it probably wouldn't work.

    I haven't read "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" yet. I need to do that. Have you ever read "In Face of Danger" by Mara Kay? It's a YA novel about an English girl who, while staying with a family in Germany during WW II, discovers that the family is hiding two Jewish girls in the attic. The girls have been separated from their parents and their former housekeeper is hiding them from the Nazis until they can be reunited with their mother and father who are also in hiding elsewhere. The English girl decides to help the two girls find their parents. I liked the book; it's too bad that it's not very well known.

    Hey, I noticed in your profile notes that you mentioned liking romance-in-war novels. I just finished reading a great little book called "How I Live Now" by Meg Rosoff. It's about a teenage girl named Daisy that goes off to England to stay with some of her cousins. While she's there she and her cousin Edmond become romantically involved. Then a world war breaks out (as the book is set in the present day I can only assume this would be WW III) and Daisy and Edmond become separated. A lot more happens of course, some of it quite harrowing. You should give it a try.

    I saw a note at IMDb that said "Josie and Jack" is currently in production. I'll be curious to see it, whenever it comes out. Of course I'll probably be disappointed too; that usually happens with me whenever I see a movie version of a book.

    Hi LoveIsPeachy, I just read your review of "You Must Remember This" by Joyce Carol Oates and I thought you did a nice job of summing up the book. I only read it a few weeks ago and I liked it a lot. I also noticed that you have "Josie and Jack" on your shelves too. Didn't you just love it? It's quickly become one of my favorites. I hear it's going to be a movie soon. That should be interesting.

    Oh--have you read the last Gardella? I just got it. I'll be done with it by Sunday evening.

    They're really fast reads and pretty entertaining. The protagonist gets on my nerve a bit sometimes, but all in all, not bad!

    We only have to wait until April 7! Have you watched the YouTube video for the new book, "Curse The Dawn" that is on Karen Chances' Web site? It's pretty cool! Though I don't picture Mircea to look like the guy who they use in the vide, at all. For one, he has long hair in the book, but not on the video, though they do only show him for a second or two, to be fair. The new book sounds like it will be the best so far. Have you read the excerpt for it? Her and her friends against the god Apollo, who gave her her powers. I am so excited!

    Who do I like Cassie with best? Well...that's a difficult one. I think Mircea is totally hot. But I am really liking the tension building between John and Cassie. And I like that he is fighting his feelings, and that a part of him doesn't completely trust her. As much as I like Mircea, I don't like that he wants so much to control Cassie because of her powers, even though I don't doubt that he wants her. I think Karen Chance is going to stretch out this situation for as long as she can, and pull Cassie back and forth between them. Which suits me just fine, because it gives her a lot to work with as far as story lines go.

    I hope it's Mircea. Their is just something about him I like. I really think he cares for her. I don't know Karen Chance is going with her series but I hope it's good.

    Well, in a way yes it is good, but the third is better. A good series, just disappointed that there hasn't been anymore released, and you can't find much on the author of them. They are almost like the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. I think they are great overall though :0)

    I think he saw the depth of her emotion for Max in the last book when he saved her and instead of looking at him she was trying to find Max in the crowd. He thought at the time "And so it goes." He knew.

    Well, I was actually referring to any sort of huge age gap book--not necessarily just older woman/teenage boy, as it could easily be reversed. I'm not sure if I'm interested in that one book you mentioned... sometimes I can't get over an icky-ness factor to actually read/watch something, so I think that really applies right here. Although, if you say it's well written and whatnot, I will give it a shot--so tell me what you think of it, okay? :D Thanks!

    I just finished it. It was a bit slow starting out but I ended up loving it! I recommend it!

    Yeah, I totally agree with you. It is easier for a teenage boy, but... although it was all of a forbidden romance situation, I found myself sympathizing with her. No one, no matter what the age is, etc, wants to be stuck in that sort of situation, you know? It hurts no matter what the situation is... and she foolishly threw herself into that when it was BOUND to go south anyway. D:

    I wonder if there's any other novel similar to that one. D'you happen to know? I know you're a larger fans of books than I am!

    WRT Max playing hard to get--exactly! Does she really love him for him, or the challenge?

    And what if, in his anger and/or despair S turns into a venator vamp??
