Waiting on Wednesday: All Unquiet Things

Book: "All Unquiet Things" Author: Anna Jarzab Release Date: January 10, 2010 "All Unquiet Things centers around the murder of teen heiress Carly Ribelli, who was found shot to death a mile from her house in a wealthy Northern California suburb. Carly’s uncle, a dissolute alcoholic, was convicted of the crime, but a year later his daughter still doesn’t believe her father is guilty. Determined to prove his innocence, Audrey Ribelli contacts Carly’s ex-boyfriend, Neily Monroe, the boy who found Carly’s body. She is convinced that he knows more than he thinks about the events that led up to Carly’s death. Despite Neily’s initial reluctance, he and Audrey begin their investigation at the posh private school they attend, identifying prime suspects from among their spoiled classmates and digging up secrets about Carly’s past to get to the truth behind her murder."

Review: The Summoning


Book: "The Summoning"
Author: Kelley Armstrong
Pages: 390
Rating: 5 out of 5
Cover Rating: 4 out of 5


Since the day in school when Chloe saw a ghost and freaked out, she has continued to see them, and is now in a group home, Lyle house. However, it seems that she is not the only one with powers. She soon finds out that the others living at Lyle house also have dark powers. Is it just a coincidence? Or are these teens being tricked into believing they are someone whom they are not?

"The Summoning" was an amazing book! Kelley Armstrong is a very good writer, she is very descriptive which contributes to the already great story line. "The Summoning" is very intriguing and definitely kept me interested and reading. There were a lot twists that made it exciting as well!

I for sure suggest this to anyone who wants a great read. This probably would not make the best beach read as it is darker and more involved. Overall, this is a terrific book!

Oh, and did you notice my slight break of posting a review for one of the "Private" books? Hahaha! I do have three more "Private" reviews to come though! I'm not done yet!

Review: Untouchable


Book: "Untouchable" (Private Series)
Author: Kate Brian
Pages: 236
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
Cover Rating: 4 out of 5
Book Number in Series: Book #3
Love the red sweater!

Reed is sort of in a trance after finding out the big news about her missing boyfriend. However, no one knows the real truth - yet. And Reed is officially a Billings Girl now - no more cleaning up after everyone anymore! Soon though, its Thanksgiving and all of her friends go back home except for her missing boyfriends best friend, Josh. Sparks start to fly between them and soon they become more than friends. However, is that the really the best of choices? Will all of the secrets and wondering of Easton High start to fit together to reveal what really happened?

I keep saying what wonderful books the "Private" series has been so far, and this one is no different! Like "Invitation Only," "Untouchable" is packed with twists and unexpected events that really livened it up and made it exciting. Truthfully, I can't really think of anything negative to say about this book. And the ending of this book was screaming "read the next one!!!!" And I am really excited because it came in to the library and my Mom is picking it up today! One things, I don't suggest reading 'Untouchable" unless you have read the other two in the series yet, "Private" and "Invitation Only." However, if you've read those two, I'm sure you will enjoy this one as well!
