The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa Rating- Four Stars
This is one of the first books, I've ever read courtesy of NetGalley, and I really enjoyed it. It was well written, and I loved the characters and the plot. Actually, I really loved Zeke, because he's kinda my dream guy. I liked the idea of the rabids, and the odd concept. This is a series, so I am excited to read the next in the series. I suggest you SHOULD read this book. It's amazing. I love the characters, so, so much. So, I suggest you read this. NOW. I don't have much to say on it, because it's one of those books you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO READ for yourself.
Ghost Girl Series 1-3 FIVE STARS
The Ghost Girl series is one of my true blue favorite series that I have ever read. Looks are incredibly decieving, when it comes to these covers. I remember the first time I ever saw this book. It was way back when Tonya Hurley had only published th first book pictured above. I was in Canada, leaving China Town and there was this quaint little book store. I walked in, straight to the back of the bookstore, and I was pulling books off a shelf, and this one literally fell to my feet. I was skeptical, but a believer of fate I bought the book and it was one of the best choices I have made to this day. Literature wise, I sound like I have no friends.
Book One of this series was amazing to me, because I feel no relation to Charlotte at all. And sometimes, what draws you in to a book, or a person is the complete Polar Opposite effect that you have. That's how I feel about Charlotte. I feel like everything in her, is polar to everything in me and that's why I liked knowing what she thinks. When Scarlet was introduced, I loved her from the minute she was introduced into the classroom scene. I loved her spunk, her personality. I love the relationship between Charlotte and Scarlet absolutely.
Book Two was so relieving to me, for a multitude of reasons. The first being, I would be so damn depressed if Scarlet didn't see Charlotte after she passed over. I liked the true conflict between the best friends, and I liked the personal conflicts. I liked how Petula was given another side besides the annoying bitchy girl she is portrayed as. I liked Victoria.
Book Three was a great addition to this series, mainly because Charlotte finally gets a damn boyfriend. Which is important, to me. She DESERVES a boyfriend. She deserves one so bad, and I'm going to be so pissed off if Eric hurts her in the future. I loved Scarlet, and her relationship, and how it continued to last.
I'm having so many issues not giving you SPOILERS. So go read the damn books, and lets talk about it.

Liar by Justine Larbalestier-Two Stars
This book was weird, and I'm not even truly sure what was real, and what was not. The whole book had sections about the absolute truth, and whatnot and then the main character admitted she was a liar. It was really confusing, and that's why I rated this book for two stars. It takes a step into both the paranormal, and the murderous scene. This book was a complex map of lies, and was defiantly an interesting read. The author was supremely good at writing, it was very apparent but I'm not sure that the author handled it completely well in chronological order. The concept was defiantly a reason enough to read this book, and it opened my mind to a great new way of writing!

Lovely By Allison Liddelle: Rating 3 Stars
Lovely by Allison Liddelle was a book I either got off of Net Galley or just for free from B&N on my nook, I honestly can't really remember but I liked it. It was a kind of trippy novel in the way that it was written about a gorgeous actress/dancer/singer teenaged girl who wanted to kill herself. She cut herself, and the book had these chapters about different ways of her dying. In her POV. It was so weird, and I loved the whole idea. It was pretty well written but it was incredibly short and the author could have took more time with the actual writing of the book. Props to Allison Liddelle, because it was the first time I've ever read a book like that and I liked your writing style, but it should have been LONGER. Thank you so much.
I've had nook issues this evening, and this review sucks. But go read this book, and tell me you didn't find it trippy because I know you totally did.
On a personal note my finals week is this week, and then summer when you shall get a billion reviews because I will have no life. That's all. Have a lovely week!
