1. I love this book!, I was looking in a corner bookstore and i loved the cover of this book to i had to read it and I can't get over how amazing the writing was and how entertaining it was Huntington is such a wonderful author!! If you have not read this book you need to!!
   It's harder to find in America then in Europe but it is well worth it



2. Where Harry Potter's world seems magical and inspires every child to write JK Rowling, begging to be admitted to Hogwarts--the same can't be said of Ravenscliff. From page one, the reality of Devon March's world is so nightmarish, that no child or adult would ever want to switch shoes with him. What is Devon's real identity and why are these terrifying things happening to him? This is the question that every reader of Sorcerers of the Nightwing asks him/herself. This book grips you from page one and refuses to let you go until the last page--even then you still can't wait to get your hands on volume 2.
   
   Highly recommended. Give it a try!



3. I really like this book. I am not really interested in reading but this book caught my intererst. Its funny, scary, romantic, its a very suspenful book. It makes you want to keep reading because you want to find out what happens next. If any body is reading this and havent read the book I sugest you start because you missing out on a good book.



4. The bad news first: this book takes a lot of cues from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." You have the high school sophomore, moving to a new town, discovering their powers as a divinely appointed defender against the supernatural. Instead of Watchers, you have Guardians. Instead of the Hellmouth, you have the Hellhole.
   
   It also takes a lot from "Dark Shadows." You have the windswept house on the cliff in New England. You have the family cannery and fishing fleet. Amanda Crandall is basically DS's Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, down to the errant husband and sexy teenage daughter. Rolfe Montaigne is DS's Burke Devlin. Troubled Alexander is DS's David Collins. The book's hero, Devon March, ends up being a sort of male Vicky Winters, in that he's a companion for Alexander while searching out the mystery of his identity. Simon is a copy of DS's menacing groundskeeper. There's the closed-off wing to the house. There's the ghost who weeps at night.
   
   But...the book has a narrative verve that keeps it going. There are some quite original shudders and some interesting characterization. A lot of the book's younger readers will probably spot the Buffy elements but miss the Dark Shadows elements, so they probably won't mind as much as an adult will.
   
   It is profoundly derivative, but the author has potential.



5. The book,Sorcerers of the Nightwing (The Ravenscliff Series, Book 1) by Geoffrey Huntington,is a book about a boy named Devon who was born with special powers,when his father died he found out it was his stepfather who died so then he was sent to Ravenscliff,there he tries to find out about his past at the sametime he fights demons,but also finds new friends. The more he finds out about his past the more dangerous it gets,fighting the most strongest demons he's ever seen and tring to find out who he's real friends are and who are demons descised as humans.

5 comments about Forbidden Secrets: Fear Street Sagas #3.

1. i dont remember too much about this one, other than i couldnt put it down. it's been 10 years since i read it last, so here i am, 24 years old and trying to pay bills like an adult, spending my hard- earned money on a kids book that im sure i will keep around longer than the last time i owned it!



2. This book is one of the more silly books of the Fear Street Sagas. It takes place during the war, and the main character is Savannah Gentry (not Madison, like it says on the back of the book for some reason) who falls in love with Tyler Fier. Her parents are dead and her brother is killed in the war, so she and her sister Victoria go live with Tyler, despite Victoria's insistence that his home is evil, yadda yadda yadda. As soon as they move in the deaths begin (including the token face smashed-in death with bubbling brains) and as usual, not everyone is what they seem.



3. this book is absolutely wonderful and emotionally well described. the story is set in the olden times and revolves around two sisters, savannah and victoria.savannah is described as beautiful and sweet and victoria is the intense and sharp minded one who plactices dark arts. it is not all that hard to guess who the narrator of the story is. the ending is however quite sad and i could not stop thinking about it for quite some time. but i guess that is how r.l.stine wanted it to be. try it . it is worth reading .



4. It was very good- quite unpredictable I think. Tyler Fier seems to be a very handsome & charming guy- and very evil. Savannah is very sweet and trusting- and her sister Victoria is kind of freaky- she practices black magic- but then so did Tyler. I recommend you read it. It's suspenseful and R.L. Stine did a fantastic job of setting the scene and mood.



5. This is a fabulous story about life in the past with a Fier. It is a thrilling taleIt is a thrilling tale about a curse that lives in the liveof someone involved in the horror of the curse.

5 comments about Fingerprints #2: Haunted.

1. Although the series is for readers aged 9 to 12, it's an interesting enough concept to keep older readers entertained.
   
   The second book in Metz's series explores how Rae's gift can be used to her advantage (to aid others) and some methods in which she can control when to use her gift. Rae puts her gift to the test when she must use it to find Jesse (a boy from group therapy who "ran away"). Jesse's disappearance coincides with Rae being stalked. In this book, the reader gets to know Anthony, Rae, Yana, and Marcus a little better. For those of you who read the first book, a romantic relationship between Rae and Anthony doesn't develop until later in the series, much to my dismay ^_~ After finishing this book, be prepared to read the next and the next! It's addicting!
   
   If you haven't read the first book, I would definetly suggest doing so if you want to understand this book a little better.
   
   Happy Reading!



2. You will not believe how good this book is. Once you start to read it, you might stay up all night until you are done. I don't want to give away too much about the book, so I'll just say this: The author really has a way with words that make you fell like you experience what the character experiences. It is amazing. I'm surprised these wonderful books aren't more well known, and I am sure you won't regret making your purchase. If you are the type of person that likes a book that keeps you waiting for the next big event in the plot to unfold and gradually reveals (the book, not you) the answers to the questions you have had and continues to do so as the series goes on, I completely reccomend that you check this book out.



3. the second book in the fingerprints series starts with ray finding out someone wants to kill her. it goes from there to ms. A announcing that jesse ran away. when anthony says "thats impossible" the two go investigating. they look everywhere and check everyones fingerprints. Rae even makes Yana join she and Anthony to New Orleans to find jesse's father. after being teased and abused about looking young and going to prep school rae takes her friends back home.
   they ask people around jesse's normal hang out. all of which have their own very convincing thoughts on where jesse is. they are all telling the truth rae finds out, according to their fingerprints. Rae and Anthony find someone deathly afraid that if he says something, he'll be in trouble. by touching his fingerprints they are lead to a house, where they find the man they are looking for has been gone. For a really long time. When they go back to the car they find a knife waiting in the seat. Jesse's knife. Rae finds thoughts leading them to an abandoned warehouse. but they dont know WHICH abandonded warehouse. they search for any unusual activity, and in all theyre hard work find a meth lab. So basically, all of their work was to no avail. one day, sick of waiting for someone to arrive anthony enters...making a lot of noise and breaking a window. worried about him, rae enters as well, using her little "power" to get in. the 2 find eachother, and, with out managing to kill eachother they find the warehouse is empty. but wait, whats that noise? the follow the noise and find jesse. they ask him for info, then, being as he doesnt remember, rae checks out his fingerprints. and gets a whole lot of nothing. oh, and did i mention that someone is trying to kill rae?



4. Melinda Metz takes Haunted to a new level with its suspense thriller. It's about a girl that gets framed and is sent to the nuthouse and later is released to go back to a prep school. She has a gift to read minds with a touch of her fingertips. The book gives good detail and drama. It tells a story about a girl trying to become normal again. I liked the book because it gives details, suspense, and you cant put it down till you finish it.



5. Rae Voight is just barely starting to come to terms with her new powers - the powers that let her "hear" other people's thoughts when she touches her fingerprints to theirs. Rae is still a little weirded out over the whole thing and hasn't even told Yana, the only girlfriend she has left whom she met in Fair Haven, while she was recovering from her mental breakdown the previous summer. Of course, Anthony knows because he was the one who figured it out, but Rae knows that most people will think she is a freak. She tries to forget that there is someone out there who wants her dead, but it never seems to be far from her mind.

   Anthony comes to Rae for help when he finds out that Jesse, one of the kids he met in group who is like a brother to him, is missing. Anthony knows that he wouldn't have run away, but he has no idea where to look for him. Rae agrees to try and "read" the fingerprints at Jesse's house and before she knows it, Anthony, Rae and Yana are off on a madcap adventure to New Orleans to try and find Jesse's dad. Too bad that the whole trip was a bust because Jesse's dad hasn't seen him for years and years. Whats even worse is that Rae discovers that Jesse was only kidnapped to hurt her. Someone is playing games with her and the prize is Jesse's life...

   This is the second book in the Fingerprints series and it starts almost right after the first one ends. It was interesting to see Rae start to see her powers as a gift instead of a curse and to see how she would choose to use them. We also got to see more of Anthony and what a great guy he is, even if he is a slow learner and is always beating up on himself. All of the characters in this series are great and the reader will feel like they know them when they are done reading. I highly recommend reading the first book in the series, Fingerprints: Gifted Touch, first though. Also, this book has another cliffhanger ending with the reader still being clueless as to who wants Rae dead and why so I would have the next book in the series handy...

1. Humphrey hadn't been doing to well in his last concerts. Now that he is a big man, and not a little boy, people don't want to see him play anymore. When he was younger, he played great for his age, and people thought he was so cute. Now, his music isn't played like a real musician, and he is no longer cute. Bridget, Humphrey's stepmom and Sam's mom, comes up with a great idea to make it seem like Humphrey created music from the ghost of a famous dead composer. The plan works out great, and Humphrey is once again famous. Until, all of a sudden, it seems like Humphrey is actually composing the music from the dead musician. Will all the strange events like an old man knowing he exact notes that was changed by Humphreys dad, Luke, be coincidence? Or is it something out of the supernatural?
   
   
   This was a really eerie book. It made you think and wonder what could have caused the coincidences in the story. The author kept me wanting to know what happens, and he kept me bound to the book. I always wondered what would eventually happen at the end. The ending was very good, and made me say "o my gosh" over and over to my self. The author wrote the bok with just the right amount of details, so I wasn't bored at all while reading.

2. "Fingers" is not quite like Sleator's other books; the plot hinges on the supernatural rather than on a science fiction mechanism of some sort. The music that the main character, Sam, forges is unaccountably known about by a mysterious old man. Further, this music has the power to make Humphrey play with skill and feeling, two things his piano playing usually lacks to an appalling degree. As always, Sleator is concerned not simply with weird situations but with human beings and their emotions, and running thoughout the book is Sam's resentment towards his brother and simultaneous concern for him; Humphrey is being turned into a rotten human being as a result of being used mercilessly by his parents. The resolution satisfyingly resolves the relationship of the two brothers as well as giving the identity of the mysterious old man and the source of the music and its power.



3. Also saddened to see the book is out of print. I truly enjoyed the situations and creativity the book displayed. In fact, it sparked my imagination musically.



4. I was saddened to see that "Fingers" is out of print. I have enjoyed Sleator's books as a young adult and still enjoy them over a decade later. Usually, Sleator's works are populated with interesting, well-delfined characters who make a somewhat unoriginal plot seem fresh. "Fingers" is the exception to that: the plot is constantly interesting, never bordering on cliche; the characters are fully-fleshed and utterly believable; and the pacing is tight, making a non-stop thrill ride of a supernatural mystery.

5 comments about Someone at the Door: Someone at the Door.

1. I've read alot of books.. Richie has to be my favorite Author, she is genius her plots are amazing. and she knows how to make you feal just like teh charcter, I have to say i prefer her series the unseen, but this is probably my favorite book of hers after those..



2. Meg and Hannah get stranded in their house when a snow storm hits.
   Their mom and dad are stuck at the airport and can't get home.Hannah broke up with her boyfriend.He calls the house and tells Hannah he knows she's seeing someone else and that he'll kill her first before he let's someone else have her.Then Meg hears about a escaped killer on the loose and he's headed their way.Suddenly two strangers show up at their door claiming to have had a car accident. One of the is bleeding so Meg feels sorry for them and let's them in.Then alot of weird things happen like
   their axe is missing ,also their dog,the snowman, the face in the window with the ski mask.Is it Kurt trying to scare Hannah or is it the escaped Killer? Or are the strangers Lance and Jhonathan who they really say they are?



3. Someone at the Door is the best most suspenseful book I've ever read! It has only one little inappropriate part, but i read it and never even think about it. the characters are all teens. The parents of two young girls are gone. Then, two young strangers show up at their door. This is a whirlwind of suspense and murder!!!!!!!!! you'll love it!!!!!!!!
   It's da bomb!



4. This book is about Hannah and her younger sister Meg who is in ninth grade. They get stranded at home during a huge blizzard, and their parents are not home (I forget where they are), so it is just the two of them and their dog. To make matters worse, the two girls heard on the radio that there is a killer loose.
   
   The first night of the blizzard, there is a knock on the door. Two young men, Lance and Jonathon, have been hurt and need a place to stay to wait out the blizzard. At first Hannah is wary about letting them in the house since they are strangers, but she lets them in anyways. During the next few days, strange things begin to happen that can't be explained. Hannah doesn't know who to suspect for these strange happenings, especially because she doesn't even know these two guys.
   
   The ending of this book is very brilliant and unpredictable, simply because it does not end like usual scary stories. On the other hand, the ending was a bit disappointing to me because it wasn't as fun as I had hoped it to be. However, I am sure that this is because I have read too many generic horror stories. I really think that fans of Cusick's will enjoy it, but it was not my favorite book written by her.



5. Someone at the Door has been one of the best books i have ever read. I can read it over and over again. I have pretty much worn out the book that I have. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to anybody. It has everything suspence, romance, and a crazy twist.

5 comments about Devil's Race (Trophy Chiller).

1. The Devil's Race by Avi was an amazing and interesting book. Each time you open the book to read it, it will take you on a fabulous and exciting adventure. This book is really good and I recomend it to anyone who loves scary but to scary books. If you are an 5-7th grade student then this could be the book for you.
   By Gabrielle



2. This is a pretty good book for people who like mtstery's. The plot is easy to follow and is a book you will not wont to put the book down untill you finish. If scary books are the kind of books you like then you will love this. So got off that chair and get this book in your hands now! Which means stop reading this review and start reading Devil's Race by Avi.



3. Devil's Race is a great horrer/mystery book by Avi. It's about a 16 year-old boy named John Proud. One day he went to his uncle, Dave's house.
   It is a very good book. the first part is boring but it gets interesting.



4. This was a great book. It compelled me to push forward to the next pages and keep reading. It was filled with page turning suspense in a evil froth. i would reccomend it to any reader.



5. This scary story is about John Proud and his 4th great grandfather, John Proud, who was a demon. He has come back to finish his work. It's a wonderful scary story that keeps you turning its pages and when you're done you want to read it again.

5 comments about Mortal Fear (Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

1. I'm... pretty sure the selling price for this mass market paperback ain't really nearly 22 dollars!
   
   Since... the price listed on the back cover is on aroud 6 dollars?
   
   A lot of listing errors like this one are showing up on Amazon lately. Could this be a "hacking" issue?



2. For a Buffy book, this is an epic. Quite long. People are starting to act very strangely in Sunnydale, and gain superhuman abilities on top of being whacky. When this includes Xander, Willow and Dawn, Buffy has a ton of problems. So many problems that she gets help from a group of vampires, because having a crazy diseased superhuman food source is not good for them, either.
   
   Also, Buffy has to go all Ilyana Rasputin, as what the master AI digital type bad guy who is using nanites to control everyone wants, is the ancient Soulsword.



3. Id say that this book is a little mediocre for a Buffy book. Some of the character's personalities just arent the same in this book as they are on the show. The storyline isnt really all that original either. Buffy's on her own because all of her friends are betraying her. It couldnt have possibly taken that long to write this.

   I was a little disappointed because I have seen much better from these authors before. I would recommend borrowing this one from the library. It's not a keeper.




4. I always check what season i takes place iin and it said season 6 then i started to read it and got really confused because they were talking about season 7 stuff. But overall it was a good book.



5. the series are damn great..the games are cool but when it comes to the books..i think the story's a little slow and uninteresting...to be precise...i really don't think the writers of the Buffy book series should put up longer plots to make the book more appealing since I think it really dwindles my mood to read the book. However, the settings and characters are immense and totally coincide for each circumstance in the book. Keep up the good work and I definitely think there are remedies to rectify the error.

5 comments about Fear Hall: The Conclusion (Fear Street, No. 47).

1. Hope Mathis has fled Fear Hall. Hope really is the killer. She just imagined that her boyfriend was the murderer. Hope hides in an abandoned sorority house to keep herself away from the police. The ending is sad. Why is the ending sad? Buy this book.



2. this book was ok but the first half was really boring so if yoou like a good book all the way thorough then you shouldnt read this one.



3. Though, this book isn't as good as the first part, it's still a good read.In the conclusion Hope and her "friends" are forced out of Fear hall and into a abandon house where "they" are hiding out. In the process, Hope meets a new guy,Chris who isn't very interesting in my opinion, and "Darryl" still can't stop killing. It ended really sad, but I wish R.L. Stine had of written it that Hope went to a mental hospital or something like that. I mean he got the readers to love Hope in the first book and in this one make everything seem like her fault, although it really wasn't since she didn't know what she was doing. The issue of Muliple Personality Disorder, was obviously not researched very well by the author. If you want a more mature and more researched book about MPD I highly recommend "Tell Me Your Dreams" by Sidney Sheldon, it's kinda like this one but it's for more mature readers.



4. I have been a R.L. Stine fan since '95 and I have to say that this was his best book ever. I love the new format he uses to introduce each character and how it kept me guessing the whole time. I would definetly recommend Fear Hall to anyone who is looking for a suspenseful, murder mystery with plenty of twists.



5. This story obviously continues where part one has left off. Hope still deals with the same problem(s) and is on the run for the cops. The sequal was even better then part one (to my opinion). It gave you more insight on Hope's thoughts and her way with dealing things. Actually this story was very sad, but I guess this was also the only way to end this serie. These series are really worthwhile reading.

5 comments about One Last Kiss (Fear Street Sagas #14).

1. I've been an R.L. Stine fan ever since I was little and goosebumps came out. I'm also a little bit obsessed with vampire books. So when this showed up on my recommendations I had to read it!
   When Eleanor's mother is killed by a vampire, she and her father start to run. They spend their lives in hiding but he is tired of it. So they move back to their hometown to face the vampires once and for all.
   When Trevor Frier shows up at her house he give them the journal of Richard Frier, which tells of his transformation into a vampire and how to kill them.
   When her father is killed, Eleanor is persuaded to move into the Frier's home where Trevor can keep her safe. But how safe can you be in a house full of vampires?
   The ending was amazing and out of all of the vampire books I've read this is one of my favorites.



2. Wow...what can I say for this book? I picked it up on a whim at K-Mart and it has gone on to become my favorite book of all time. As another reviewer said, I didn't know it was possible to fall in love with a fictional character...my, my Trevor Fier is quite a character indeed.
   
   Not to be too much of a reviewer, I must say the romance in this book is absolutely and utterly sublime. There is such a fire between Eleanor and Trevor that I had to read scenes again and again, just out of sheer love for the romance of this book. You couldn't ask more for to sweep you off your feet--a dashing vampire with "midnight hair that touched his shoulders." This I honor above all romance. Kudos to you RL for creating such a flawless and passionate romance between two wonderful characters...though the ending is horrid in context, it is none the more appropriate and exquisite.



3. This fear street book is sooooooo romantic! I love the fear street sagas and this particular book One Last Kiss, took me forever to find since it's out of print and I finally got it on ebay. So anyway, this book is about a young girl named Eleanor, her mother was killed by vampires and ever since her father became obessed with killing vampires, and he and Eleanor moved quite a bit to escape from them. Then they moved back to Virginia, and her father get's killed by vampires as well. Eleanor moves in with a man her father knew-Trevor Fier-and his cousin Priscilla Fier. Eleanor and Trevor end up falling in love, but of course cannot marry for Trevor-is a VAMPIRE. Then in the end of the book Eleanor discover's her mother to be Queen of the vampires-and took the name of Priscilla Fier. Read this book it was wonderful!



4. I Have Read this book over and over!
   And I think it made me get into Vampires more..becuase ever since I read this book I cant stop thinking about it I want to read it agian and agian I REALLY LOVE THIS BOOK. Ok Now this is what its about..

   It starts out with a girl named Eleanor whos mother was killed when she was very young. So Eleanor lives with her father who thinks Vampires are always after them. So he Brings Eleanor to diffrent towns and places trying to escape the vampires.. Untill one day Eleanors father is killed. Soo the Fier family next door invite's Eleanor to live with them. Soon Eleanor finds her self falling in love with a boy in the Fier family named Trevor Fier..
   But it seems that Trevor holds a deep secret and that he knows alot about vampires.. Will he tell Eleanor a secret from his past? Or will a vampire get to her first? find out in this wonderful book..."One Last Kiss"

   it has a sad ending.. BUT IS REALLY!!! WORTH READING!




5. This book was great But i read it when i was eleven, im sixteen now.I've never read a Fear book before this one and have'nt read one since...oh well.

   This book helped my obsession with vampiers grow.So what if it was predictable, so what if their love was commercial, you have to give R.L Stien some credibility with all of those Goosebumps books a love story is big jump for the guy.

   Any way to get right to the point. One last kiss is a story of a girl who's only family was her father they moved around quite often and fought off vampiers. her father is killed by the main posse of vampiers(in their current town)...Hey you were gonna find out sooner or later. Then shortly after Elenor(the girl) meets Trevor Fear, a local royalty(not as in king but very rich.)So they meet fall in love yadda yadda yadda the rest would ruin the entier impact if i reaveal it to you so pick up a copy for yourself.

   For girls there is alot of love,romance, and dramatics.
   For guys swords, fighting...its a vampier stoy for crissake!any one will enjoy this story just have a little imagination!
