Midnighters: Blue Noon


Blue Noon is the final book in the Midnighters trilogy by Scott Westerfeld. The title "Blue Noon" fits perfectly into the book, because the books are all about a "Blue Hour" at Midnight, on that in this book instead of Midnight the Blue Hour comes at random times in the day. And that completely throws off the Midnighters who thought they knew just about everything about Midnight. There is a lot of challenges in store for the five teens to figure out. Amongst themselves and together as a group. The book even ends with a big BANG. It is a very good series, I enjoyed the books a lot. I definitely recommend this book. It has lots of action and excitement.

Tricks by Ellen Hopkins

Tricks by Ellen Hopkins is a book about falling in love. But the "right kind of love" is another story. It's about five different teenagers all with a different background and story but they all end up in the same place by the end of the book. All five of them have it hard at home and look for ways to find the love they can't find at home, from someone else. But the people they go to isn't always the best to fall for. Sometimes looking for that love and care by someone, when you're not being picky about who it is, can be very dangerous. Like all of Ellen Hopkins' books, it is written in poem form and makes it a very easy read. It's a great book about finding love in all the wrong places and trying to survive without love or with the wrong kind.

Midnighters: The Secret Hour

"The Secret Hour" is the first book of the Midnighters trilogy by Scott Westerfeld. "The Secret Hour" is about a certain hour in the day that only specific people know about and can live in. It's at exactly midnight every night. The rest of the world is "asleep" but they actually just see it as a minute where nothing happens, but the few people that know about the secret hour of the night, well that's their own time to do what ever they want. And in a small town called Bixby, Oklahoma, there are five teenagers that know about this certain time. But it seems it might only be Bixby, because they don't know of any other town that has "The Secret Hour" but I'm sure they will figure it out soon enough. It's a very interesting book filled with adventure and mystery.

Thirst NO. 2

Thirst NO. 2 books; Phantom, Evil Thirst, and Creatures of Forever, are the last books in the Thirst series. The character, Alisa/Sita (more commonly know as Sita) has many different adventures in these books. It's all very action pact and a very easy/fun read. With almost 600 pages it's a really fast read. It's just so interesting. She is the last vampire on earth and goes through many different challenges. With different 'non-humans' and some of her friends. But in this story, rather than in Thirst NO. 1, Sita is wanting her old life back. Her old human life, she hasn't been human in over 5,000 years. She misses things such as motherhood and human feelings and growing old. But she has a lot of things in the way and many things she loves about being a vampire, it is all she's ever really known. Who knows how she ends up in the end? I definitely recommend you read these books.
