5 comments about City of Bones (Mortal Instruments, No 1)).

1. I just finished the book Mortal Instruments City of Bones. I really like the book a lot. There was a twist at the end that surprised me and I was hoping it wasn't true! But it was. The only thing I didn't really like about this book was the ending. Jace & Clary confront the bad guy, and that part lagged, it went on and on and I was like just do something already!
   
   The book is about a 15 year old name Clary who happens to go into an all age club and follows a demon to three shadowhunters. After that, Clary's life changes. She is no longer the mundane she thought she was and finds out she is more like these shadowhunters then she ever wanted to be. She finds out her whole life has been a lie and her mom didn't tell her what she really was.
   
   When her mom goes missing she teams up with the shadowhunters to find her mom. But not just the shadowhunters are helping, her friend Simon that she known all her life, who is a simple mundane (human) helps out as well. I really like the characters Simon and Jace.
   
   I really like the twist and turns of the book. And now I just started the second book in the series and so far it is good as well.



2. Then this book is for you. I had to stop after the first few chapters. If you are looking for something other than bad teenage language and behavior wrapped up in a "kill the demons" storyline, this book is not for you. A shame, too, since I think it could have been a good story and the author seems to have an imagination.



3. As a TWILIGHT fan I needed something to captivate me again. I was skeptic at first thinking there isn't anything else that would give me the "i don't want to put this down" feeling. THIS was it. Stephanie Meyer recommended it and I can see why. You can't help but fall in love with JACE. But this has everything, love story? check, unexpected events? check! action? check! I read all three of the Mortal Instruments and it kept getting better and better! must read!



4. I've heard from many people that this book was basically Harry Potter meets Twilight, the later of which I was never a fan of at all. So I never thought twice about reading this book until recently.
   
   The first page was enough to get me interested, and I fell head first into the rest. I really enjoyed it! The plot was fast paced, adventurous, the characters were written really well, and the entire thing was thoroughly enjoyable. It did have its rough patches where the plot made no sense, and there were times when the entire thing seemed to have massive plot holes, but they were few and far between. I will be reading the next 2 books and I hope that they are just as good, if not better than City of Bones.



5. This is like the squished up version of Twilight and Harry Potter with some of Cornelia Funke's Inkheart in the middle. Its still a great read so...READ IT!

5 comments about Look For Me By Moonlight.

1. I know this book is aimed at readers younger then I (Im almost 24) but I loved the story so much. I will admit I was dissapointed twords the end of the book because it wasnt what I was expecting. I was expecting a run of the mill romance story between a mortal and a vampire but boy was I wrong. I was sad at the end when the vampires true intentions became known to the reader - I was really looking for a happy (fantasy romance) ending but thats not what I got. The book was still worth reading though and I kept my copy to read again in the future. If your looking for a happy ending where the two end up together then dont read this book. If your up for the unhappy ending to the romance but a still happy ending for the girl then pick this one up. I read it in one sitting so it definatly wasnt boring!



2. I've been on a YA fiction kick and especially paranormal with Halloween around the corner along with a few related challenges, so when I saw this at the library it looked really fun and interesting, so seductive. It really wasn't.
   
   Cynda comes to live with her dad, stepmom, and half-brother up in cold Maine and the inn that her father and stepmother own and run. But it's haunted! Maybe I'm too used to vampires trying to be good like Angel from Buffy, Edward from Twilight, and now we have the Vampire Diaries. But when the mysterious stranger shows up, I as the reader, knew he was evil! Why couldn't Cynda? Or the rest of the family? The little boy knew, the cat, and even the next-door neighbor! So I'm reading about all her goo-ga's over Vincent and it's pretty sickening. I knew what was coming and I couldn't stop it. I really wanted to be bamboozled like Cynda and her parents, and be shocked at the end that he was bad to the bone! But it wasn't to be...
   
   It was a really fast read, but predictable and the characters were just a bit too annoying for my taste.



3. Due to the recent craze with this vampire genre in books and on film, with sexy immortals falling for sweet and nonchalant girls hoping to give them everlasting love and life I was taken aback when reading this book. I forgot that these (heartthrobs) vampires are supposed to be merciless bloodsucking killers! But thanks to Look For Me By The Moonlight I wont ever forget it again!
   
   Cynda is the young, plain, impressionable heroin moving to Maine to live with her estranged father
   
   at his old inn. He left her when she was six to be with his now wife, a former student in his literature class. They have a young annoying son, Todd and one on the way. Immediately Cynda starts feeling alone and unwelcome in her quite frightening old house. She meets a young, artistic loner named Will who seems interested in her. I thought Will was the awaited vampire that would sweep her off her feet. Although she swooned after him for a day or so he was out of her book the moment she met Vincent. He's a charming older and wiser man with good looks and a great personality. She and her parents are taken with this worldly man almost immediately. They're impressed by his intelligence and conversation. But Todd, Will and even the family cat are disturbed by his presence although Cynda doesn't seem to notice or care.
   
   There relationship seems quite strange considering he's likely in his mid-thirties and she's sixteen. He makes secret gestures and passes at her soon inviting her to join him in the woods at night where she loses her head and heart. Making out with him frequently Cynda thinks she's in love and feels no wrong and even I wanted it to work. Inappropriate? Yes, But I figured "there vampires right?" There moral compasses must differ quite a bit from us mere mortals!
   
   Before long Vincents real motives are brought to light when he begins sucking Cynda's blood each
   
   night and draining her of energy in the day time. Slowly he makes her slip into a depression and change into a vampire herself beacause soon she too only craves blood from others. Transformed into this robotic state Vincent uses intimidation to keep her from telling her parents who stupidly think she has a flu.
   
   During the rushed ending to the book Cynda decides at the last minute to get rid of Vincent with the help of Will. What kept this book from being good was the fact that it was beyond realistic. Even though this is a book about vampires and ghosts, etc. I still found it hard to believe that Cynda's parents were so wrapped up in their own lives they hardly noticed a change in their daughter. Even when Cynda cried and pleaded for her father not to leave her side saying "Don't leave me daddy, stay with me, don't let him come back.", her father still suspects nothing of the stranger in their house and leaves Cynda alone in her room acting as if she irritated him. His young wife proves to be no help either and only when Vincent is dead do they act like normal human beings but I guess the authors excuse for this was they were "under a spell". How convenient!
   
   It was an easy an mildly enjoyable read. Some humor and suspense tried to fill in the holes of the plot but it was OK. I applaud the author for reminding me that not all vampires are friendly and want to seduce me.



4. I really hate writing negative reviews. REALLY. However, I would hate for anyone who was looking for something other than a sappy, child's story to waste their money on this. I can't believe this book is in the same genre as Twilight, the Gemma Doyle Trilogy, the Blue Blood saga, and so on. The main character, Cynda, a sixteen-year-old girl, far from her mother, was completely unlikeable from the start, always whining and complaining, therefore it was near impossible to feel sorry for her when she became entranced by an evil vampire. She was just simply a
   BRAT, as well as "Toddy" her younger brother. Her parents were total idiots, even before Vincent-the vampire staying in their inn, seducing their children-put them under a spell. The only likeable character was the housekeeper's grandson, Will. And I almost didn't like him, simply because he was able to like Cynda and her stupid family. I can't believe I wasted my day reading this.



5. This book is a suspense! Like all M.D.H books, you cant put them down. Very detailed. Its like you are in the story!

5 comments about Darkest Hour (The Mediator, Book 4).

1. I am 35 years old and I can not get enough of these books. I wish she would expand this series. I just love all the characters so much!



2. I read these books a few years ago from the library, When a friend picked them up at a bookstore recently, I decided to flip through them again. It wasn't long before I had to buy my own set and re-read them.
   
   Darkest Hour is my favorite in the series as it introduces some interesting new characters and serves as a pivotal turning point in Susannah's relationship with Jesse. The storyline is very intriguing, and humorous, as always. There is plenty to keep the pages turning.
   
   I recommend this series for any girl who likes her love stories a little more unconventional and less Disney. =D



3. THIS WAS THE BEST OF THE FIRST 4 BOOKS!! Seriously, my favorite!! From the beginning to the end is amazing and very surprising. I didn't want to stop reading. Im a girl of 13 years old and I seriously recomend the series to grade 7 to up.



4. I love the whole series and I recommend it for anyone ages 11 and up. Meg Cabot is my favorite author and this book WOW'd me more than any other book I've read by her! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED



5. My daughter got me hooked on this series and I was surprised at the great writing.

5 comments about The Mediator #6: Twilight.

1. This is the exact ending that I imagined appreciating after I read the five books in the series before this one. Suze Simon is almost exactly the kind of person I am - well, except for the fact that she can see ghosts. I loved how Meg Cabot ended the story. I hung on to every word. Excellent description from the protagonist's point of view. It was simply an amazing book.



2. Purchased this for my daughter and she loved it and has read all of these books



3. I loved this book. I read the entire series and felt that Meg Cabot did a great job. Meg Cabot gave Suze a great ending and also a wonderful beginning. She also didnot make the story cliche like other books do when tackling the human and ghost relationship. Throughout the series, Meg Cabot kept hinting the Suze and Jeese are meant to be together and she kept to her word. There is no storyline like Jeese moves on and Suze is sad but she finds someone just like him to comfort her. It is a genuine love story. I wish Meg Cabot wrote more on the series.



4. First let me say that I work in the Children's Department of a bookstore. I first read the Mediator series 5 years ago & loved it. We have carried the series on & off for the past few years. When I read the Stephenie Meyer Twilight Saga, I felt that there were similarities between the two series - the whole paranormal romance aspect (female girl, not-so-human boy). I have had lots of teens ask me for books that are similar to the Twilight Saga, so I've started recommending this series. It doesn't take itself as seriously as the Meyer's series does, but I still think that readers would like it, even if there aren't any vampires in it.
   
   Just today I finished rereading the entire series & I must say that I still think it's wonderful & would highly recommend it. I really loved the relationship between Jesse & Susannah and how it grew and changed over the course of the 6 books. I'm glad Meg Cabot finished up the series, just as Stephenie Meyer's did. And I loved the way she brought Jesse back to life - it's nice to think of Jesse & Susannah having a real future together (but then again, I'm a sucker for a happy ending).



5. i read this book 24/7 because of love the make out seen and paul i think paul is a hottie but he a jerk somtimes but he ok i would love to be a mediator so i can kiss a ghost so it can help me out with my life it would be very awesome!!

5 comments about Down a Dark Hall.

1. I bought this for my daughter. It came in the condition described and in the time frame given. She really enjoyed reading it but it was just over too soon!



2. Its been a couple of years since when I first read this book; however, from what I remember, I really liked it and couldn't put it down. I remember getting spooked out and I couldn't wait to see what happened in the end. I'd deffinately read it again to relive the suspense!



3. This book made me a fan of Lois Duncan and now I'm reading Summer Of Fear and The Twisted Window.
   
   The atmosphere in this book is amazingly chilling and it is like that from the moment you start reading until the end.
   
   The characters were diverse, well developed. The main character was very likable, the kind of person which would have to appeal to most of the people, very grounded for her age.The other girls were very interesting, the other people too.
   
   Now, when it comes to story, it's familiar for this age, but still original. I'm sure that, in 1974 this would be very original and fresh. Now people could doubt that but that's just because after that we got used to books like this and now we got hundreds of books about dangerous schools and the academies that hold dark secrets.
   
   Still, it didn't feel boring. It felt fresh and interesting. It was a fast read, I would say like, 10 hours of so. Definitely recommended.
   
   The only thing that kinda wasn't great was the ending because it felt a bit rushed and loose.
   
   10/10



4. I loved this book back when I was in Middle School. For some reason I started thinking about some of the books I had read as a teenager and I thought of this one right away. I read it in 1 day and then had to read it to a couple of my kids. (10-12 years) They didn't want me to stop for bedtime. They loved it. Just enough suspense and mystery without being too scary for them. Thanks



5. Read this book when I was a kid and LOVED IT......very scary and surreal, but accessible. I wanted to go to that school and have the powers those kids had....a must read. My other favorite books are Tennis Dates by Colette Freedman and The Silver Crown by Robert O'Brien.

5 comments about Don't Look Behind You.

1. The problem with contemporary American fiction aimed at teenagers is simply that it is written for contemporary American teenagers. Anxious and restless and no wonder, for teenagers can expect to go through puberty at an earlier age than ever before and are expected to mature at a later age than ever before. What I find despicable, however, are the adults who exploit and profit from this banal teenybopper mentality by feeding and encouraging it with pulp fiction, and thereby perverting the teenager's tastes and discouraging them from reading great works of literature.
   
   Lois Duncan is not totally incompetent, as the example of Killing Mr. Griffin makes clear. But if she actually understood--and that is itself questionable--the literary references and indictment of Americana high school pettiness inherent in that work, she should have known better than to churn such harmful tripe as Don't Look Behind You.
   
   Let's start with the plausibility problem. Mr. Corrigan, a good citizen testifying against a drug ring who has infiltrated the airline where he works and evidently (from his name) an Irish-American from Virginia, has been secretly working for the F.B.I. When the secret comes out, he and his family are forced to flee the state and change names under the Witness Protection Program. This is ludicrous in the utmost. The Witness Protection Program was concocted to save the lives of members of criminal organisations--specifically, the Sicilian Mafia, also known as Cosa Nostra--who had fallen out with their bosses and wished to testify against them.
   
   However, there is no evidence in the book that Mr. Corrigan was a former drug broker himself; most non-sovereign entities would not be likely to be so stupidly suicidal as to go after a F.B.I. agent with such fervour as to necessitate a name change for this latter. Duncan either did no research whatsoever, or she simply twisted reality to make a nice sympathetic story for modern teenagers who couldn't stomach or relate to the idea of a character's father being a Mafioso. In modern America, it is definitely more acceptable to ditch one's spouse or parent than to forgive a penitent, so the worst extent of Mr. Corrigan's sin would have to be his adventurism for playing "James Bond," as his wife puts it.
   
   The book misses the mark on other historical and factual details of the Witness Protection Program, as well, but to reveal those would be to spoil the plot.
   
   Then there is the writing itself. The "suspense" plotline does not ultimately detract much from the main theme, but it is still done in a very much Deus ex Machina fashion. The book is written in first person from the perspective of Mr. Corrigan's daughter, April, so you know that she survives. (So much for Duncan's famed "suspense.") April is rather bland (I like the reviewer who suggested that all she thinks about are "boys and tennis"--as are most of Duncan's protagonists--and as a matter of fact, she is so shallow both in personality and in development that the simple act of making her father a Sicilian goomba and at least giving her a more fleshed-out cultural heritage would have just about doubled the interest factor. And don't even think about telling me that April matures: leaving behind one shallow consumer-driven existence for another does not amount to maturity. Her maturation is too quick to be believable and definitely not deep enough to salvage the rest of the book.
   
   We should not, of course, expect any less. Generally speaking, the more rooted and cultured Duncan's characters, the more evil. That said, Duncan does not discriminate culturally: her evil but rooted characters have included Anglo-Protestants (Behind the Gallows), Native Americans (Stranger with My Face) and Acadian Southerners (Locked in Time). The good girls are still California mall girls, even if they find themselves ostracised by their peers. Duncan may pretend to diss the popular cheerleaders, but she obviously prefers the McWorld to the real one.
   
   What a shame, too. The idea--a teenager reacting to the loss of everything around her and being forced to discover something deeper and move beyond the banalities of contemporary American teenage life--could have made for a highly interesting and engaging tale. This is, alas, beyond the ability of Duncan, whatever meagre strengths she may possess. Pass this one up--and definitely don't look behind yourself at the bookstore.



2. The book was in excellent shape. I purchased it for my daughter for a reading assignment. The book arrived at the time it was due. I received a nice book for a good price.



3. this book is terrible. i was forced to read it for my freshman english class. it has a slow plotline, poor character development, and just terribly written overall. the ending is stupid and pointless and completely unrealistic. do not put yourself through the aaonizing experience of reading this book. i had never not finished a book, but i was really close to just saying "screw this" and throwing the book in the trash. just go read harry potter instead, or if you want a book with suspence or mystery, read anything by dean koontz like The Taking. just not this.



4. To me the overall book when I look back on it was pretty good while when I was reading it at first I HATED it! I mean I had to read it and it wasn't HORRIBLE or anything I just didn't enjoy it but the ending was so thrilling and not one ounce predictable (okay maybe a little) and I was so excited my heart was pounding and I was really into the book. So it was worth reading because now I know what a real good book can do to you.

   once you give your life up you cant get it back.
   
   April Corrigan lives in norwood virgina and has the perfect life. She has a handsom boyfriend and is the star player on the tennis team. She is living the life anyone would ever want. until, one day she is called down to the office to find that her grandma is waiting for her, she has no ideal what is going on. her grandma says that she has to leave. april as a teen thinks that everything is going to be okay and she will ba back at school tomorrow. but that is a whole different story.
   the genre of this book is suspense. It is a page turner and one of those books where you cant put it down. I think that this book was a really good book to read and it wasnt one of those that was just an OKAY kinda book. I think that anyone who likes suspense books would enjoy reading it.Also dont be afraid of the title.
   

5 comments about M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense: A Novelization.

1. After seeing and loving the movie, I had to check out the book. Very well done. This is one excellent story. Good job Mr. Shamaylon.



2. Unlike most of you that read this book, I never did see the movie, so when I picked this up I knew virtually nothing about the story. Although it does have its suspenseful moments, I would not classify this as a "horror" story. Not a slasher tale, but a VERY emotionally moving tale about the preciousness of life. I found it extremely well written with some rather unexpected plot twists.

   As you probably already know, the story is of a young boy named Cole, who claims, "I see dead people", and his therapist, Malcom who believes at first that he is only treating an emotionally disturbed young boy. As a side part of the story Malcom has a wife he deeply loves and is trying to rescue their marriage that he feels has grown cold due to the fact that he has been consumed with his work and not been there for his wife as he was in the early part of their marriage. Any more details and I would spoil the book, so enough said.

   This book was published by Scholastic, which would lead one to believe it is a children's book. I am 40 years old and enjoyed it immensely. It kept me up until 2am to finishing it off and now here I sit with bloodshot tired eyes typing this review the morning after.

   All ages will enjoy this one.

   Thanks for reading,

   TRW




3. I Love this book so much.I started to see dead people in the end.
   I like when he's hiding in his red draped tent.This book is way beter that the movie,because the movie had some flaws.
   C.O.O.L.!



4. It is a scary and touching story about Dr. Malcolm Crowe and Cole Sear. Dr. Crowe is a distinguished child psychologist. Cole is a frightened, confused 8 years old boy, which always see dead people in everywhere. A short time later, Dr Crowe believes what Cole said and tells him to listen to those dead people as they may be needs some help.

   As Cole always saw dead people that are really scared, it makes you feel afraid also.You will be consumed by the in-depth descriptions of these lost spirits and how Cole and Dr. Malcolm Crowe deal with them. You will join the way of Cole to find out why these spirits come to him and how he will get rid of them. He touched my heart that he was a small child and facing so many scared dead people and how mature he was. The ending of the story is really surprise. If you don¡¦t read the book, you really can¡¦t guess about the ending. I Love this book also I am sure this is a good book for you to read!




5. Do you ever feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand up? Does the room ever suddenly get cold for no reason? If it does, that's them, the ghosts that a boy named Cole sees with his sixth sense. You will be consumed by the in-depth descriptions of these lost spirits and how Cole and Dr. Malcom Crowe deal with them. This book will be one of the best that you will ever get the chance to read. You will join Cole in his quest to find out why these spirits come to him and how he will get rid of them. Accompanied by Malcolm on this odd journey of mystery Cole will meet many different people. Have fun reading it.......I see dead people........

5 comments about A Summer to Die.

1. The problem is that Molly (Meg the main characters sister) is always having bloody noses that never seem to stop & they don't know what it is. One of the main events is that Meg's parents are treating Molly like she is some kind of experiment, by saying stuff like '' How many blood tests should we take. Which bottle should we use to hold her sample.'' medicine).
   The solution is that Molly's family takes her to the doctors. They say she has a rare cancer & she is going to die this summer so they need to take blood samples if there is any chance of keeping her alive.
   
   
   '' I loved this book because the way Meg fought for her sister. There were no parts I disliked about it. I think the writer did a great job!''



2. I would recommend this book to all Middle Schoolers. It's sad but definitely worth reading. The characters and their relationships are really touching and realistic.



3. I would screen this book before letting your younger children read it for two reasons. One; I remember reading this book as a young teen in Jr. High and it really depressed me. As others have mentioned, I didn't find a lot of resolution at the end. So be warned that it's a very emotional book with a troubling topic which was really complicated by her family's lack of communication. Two; I remember Meg witnessing a home birth so if you don't want to deal with that topic I wouldn't recommend this book as there are others out there that deal with cancer and/or sibling rivalry. I can't remember how much detail there was about the birth, but it was graphic enough that I remember it happening and thinking "oh...my". I had already had sex ed and witnessed a birth on video. Most Jr. high and teen girls would handle it okay, but it might be an eye opener for anyone younger than that.



4. Lowis Lowry has a few special qualities to her work, having read most her work which could qualify for adults. This books opens with two sisters in a spat, drawing a line across their shared bedroom with chalk. That side yours, this side mine.. But as you can imagine from the name of the book, such differences fall to the way side.



5. I read this book in school than we moved and I lost it, it was like meeting an old friend again

5 comments about Tantalize.

1. The best part about this book is the cover. I have a tendency to pick books up off the shelf at a bookstore based purely on the cover, and this was one of them. I was drawn to it. The story wasn't worth it though. It was a disappointment. Everything was cookie cutter, including the ending. I could have predicted what happened. This book came out on the tail feathers of Twilight with the hope that those that were reading the teenage vampire books would buy it, I don't recommend it.



2. I normally try to find the positive in books when I write reviews, even if I don't like them. This is the first time that I'm unable to do that. This pile of bile was such a total and complete waste of my time that I was actually really, really angry after I finished reading it. I kept hoping that it would redeem itself, but no. I just wasted a bunch of time. The characters are totally undeveloped, there are more plot holes than can be believed, and the ending is absolutely ridiculous. A middle schooler could have written a more believable ending because, basically, the evil guy just decides to walk away for no apparent reason. And then the story ends. Yes, really. And the heroine, Quincie, is a high schooler, but somehow she never seems to be without a drink in her hand. Way to go, Cynthia Leitich Smith. That's a great example to set for teenagers. The rest of the story is just ridiculous, too. Stay far far farrrrr away from this one.



3. Waste of money. Soooo boring. I couldn't finish it. Tried to put it on Swap a Book. Nobody wants it.



4. Most of the reviews on this book are negative, but I really enjoyed this book. It wasn't the most spectacular book I've ever read, but like most, the cover and summary caught my eye. I actually think the second half was better than the first. There's romance and vampires and werewolves.
   
   In my opinion, it was better than Twilight. Just sayin'.
   
   I'd recommend it for sure.



5. I thought this book was one of the worst young adult fantasies I've read in a while. I read a lot of fantasy novels in both adult and young adult fiction and thought that this was a very elementary take on the popular vampire novels we are seeing lately. I thought the plot was simple and predictable. The main character wasn't developed enough for me and I found her hard to relate to. I also think that the romantic part of the plot was underdeveloped and uninteresting. I wasn't really pulled into the relationships the author was trying to develope. I would not recommend this book to anyone even if you enjoy young adult vampire novels. I was incredibly disappointed.

   Secrets -- there seem to be lots of them at Hillcrest boarding school. Even Stacey has one. Since the start of the school year, she dreads sleep because she's been having nightmares about her roommate, Drea. But that's not her secret. The real reason she performs a ritual with candles and sage before bed is not so much to make the nightmares go away, but to make the bed wetting stop. Yup, that's right. In the midst of these nightmares where she's desperately trying to find Drea, 16-year old Stacey wets the bed. Combine that horribly disgusting secret with the fact that the last time she ignored her nightmares, a little girl wound up dead, and you've got a real sense of urgency within a carefully crafted maze of a plot.
   
   You see, Stacey is descended from a long line of witches, or Wiccans -- as in followers of the Wicca religion. She knows card reading, potions, and spells, passed down from her grandmother. And she knows the nightmares and the bed wetting are happening for a reason. Even the cards spell out trouble for Drea, who eventually confesses to getting strange, anonymous emails, phone calls, and messages. So Stacey knows she has to pay attention to her dreams, in spite of the miserable bed wetting. When the same lilies that appear in her nightmares show up in the girls' bathroom, Stacey and Drea know that the stalker's not out there somewhere, but right nearby -- in school. Yet their attempt to find out the stalker's identity with the help of their friends, only leads them in circles. In the middle of it all, another student is murdered. From then on, Stacey's nightmares take on an even greater urgency. And every one's paying attention. Which is a good thing when it comes to keeping Drea safe, but a bad thing when it comes to the bed wetting.
   
   As is the nature of secrets, they are eventually revealed, and it seems like even their closest friends have something to hide when it comes to the unfortunate dead student. Could someone they eat lunch with and gossip with, someone they sit next to in class, actually be capable of murder?Through Stacey's spellbinding race to save Drea's life, she unravels the string of secrets and understands everything -- even the bed wetting. .
   
   Lovers of the spiritual side of Wicca will be in heaven. Into this real life mystery, Laurie Stolarz weaves an education about true witchcraft combined with a lesson in dream interpretation. She truly has a gift for lifting witchcraft out of the shadow of the broomstick and into the modern world. "Blue is for Nightmares" cast a spell on me.
   
   I really enjoyed Blue is for Nightmares. I can't wait until I read the rest of the series. If you you enjoy magic and fantasy with a touch of realism this is your book! I give Blue is for Nightmares a 5 stars.



3. Its a really good book it keeps you guessing till the end when your like "oh wow i knew that" its a great read.



4. I think that this was an amazing book. It really hooks you from the very beginning. I have read 2 other Stolarz books, and I am pleased yet again. I can't wait to finish the series.
   And I was proud that I guessed who it was from the very first time they introduced the person :)
   Although I had a few other suspects, that person was my main one.



5. Other than the over-the-top fixation on the main character's urinary incontinence problems, this was a pretty good read. The characters were genuine, and that's what made this book.
