Zombies vs. unicorns by a few of my favorite authors

  Zombies vs. Unicorns is an anthology of stories focusing on well, zombies and unicorns. This book was written by a few of my favorite authors like Cassandra Clare, Maureen Johnson, and a few others. Though it was thought up by the brilliant Holly Black.
  In this awesome book these authors are going head to head to answer this life long unanswered question, which are better? Zombies or Unicorns? They let you decide for yourself.
  These authors are doing what they do best, writing amazing stories. They wrote either a short story about Zombies or Unicorns depending on what side they took. 
Since its a range of authors with diffrent styles of writing this book  will make you feel diffrent things depending on the story. Some will make you laugh, some will make you wanna cry because its just so moving, and others... well...  they'll make you wanna hit someone out of pure fustration if your favorite author isn't taking your side. I'm going to be completly honest.
  This book made me rethink my life a bit. Its completly changed how I feel about both Zombies and Unicorns. I have found a new found respect of zombies and I'm slightly terrified of  Unicorns. If your interested in why I am or you just like the sound of this book,read "Zombies vs. Unicorns" and tell me what you think.

Across the Universe by Beth Revis

  If you had the chance to leave earth to go live on another planet, would you? Here's the catch though, you would have to be frozen in order to get there because the arrival time is two hundred fifty years into the future. That's the choice seventeen year old Amy had to  make. She ended up leaving everything she's ever known for the unknown with her parents. Years later (like two hundred) she gets a rude awakening from her frozen slumber fifty years earlier then when she was supposed to be awaken because someone tried to kill her and others.
  Sixteen year old Elder is learning how to be  a leader on the ship "God's Speed" the generation he will lead will be the one of the first who lands on the new planet. Eldest, the currant leader gave him an assignment that called for the library where the librian with the mysterious scar showed him blue prints of the ship. So when he finds parts of the ship he's never heard of before he went exploring. That's when he found Amy.
  They soon team up to find the killer and uncover the secrets of a two hundred something year old rocket ship that's in the middle of space.
   This book was wayyyyy cool. Its full of mystery and suspence. It tells a fantastic story full of suprises. The main characrters are  brave and funny. I'll admit some parts are sad but its an epic read. So tell me what you think.

Destiny's Hand

  "Destiny's Hand is about this girl named Olivia Soldana who yearns for a life of adventure. She's thirteen years old on a trip with her parents to meet the man her father intends for her to marry, and she couldn't be more upset about it. Soon , almost if it was planned, the ship has pirates after them.
  After saving her father's life she asks the Gentelman Pirate if she can join his crew, becoming the first female pirate.
   This book is pretty cool. You know if your into pirates and adventure and, oh ya, manga. Yes this book is infact a manga, but don't let that change anything. Despite what people say, a manga is in fact a book. "Destiny's Hand" had an epic plot and detailed art. Olivia goes on some pretty awesome adventures and discovers the story of Destiny's Hand.
  I recommend this book to anyone who's looking for something new and exciting. If your into manga this'll be right for you. If your starting to get into manga but need the right one to start off with, "Destiny's Hand" would be  a great start.
   Read "Destiny's Hand" and tell me what you think.

Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine

   So this girl Clare Danvers is super smart. She’s the kind of smart where if she were evil, we'd all be in some serious trouble. So naturally she graduated high school earlier than most. Of course she wanted to go to college ASAP, but her mother and father wanted her to stay close to home. Big mistake there. Sadly, close to home means going to a small university in teeny-tiny Morganville Texas where evil creatures rule, and I don't mean Monica Morell and her evil killer posse, but vampires. Yes, that’s right folks, another vamp story. But before you jump to conclusions, 'The Morganville Vampires' is definitely not your normal vamp story. 

   After being forced to find a place off campus to live, Claire is off in town to find a nice place to live. Her new roommates are fantastic and have her back against anything that goes bump in the night. The catch is, one of her roommates has a dirty little secret as bad as the town's. 

   It’s an epic book for anyone who can stomach mystery, suspense, horror, romance, and pure awesomeness all wrapped up in one. Read Rachel Caine's 'Morganville Vampires' and tell me what you think.


The Lost Hero of Olympus by Rick Riordan

     I've always loved mythology, especially Greek. The adventures of Hercules and Jason always amused me like many others, but in Rick Riordan's 'the Lost Hero of Olympus' there's a new Jason in town and he has a bad case of amnesia. Finding himself on a school bus with no idea how he got there next to a girl named Piper (who has a little secret) and a strange guy named Leo (who works great with tools) he's told that they go to a school for naughty kids but has no idea how he ended up there.

    Jason soon finds out that he has mysterious powers that he can't explain. Soon having to be rescued by Annabeth Chase and a few other demigods. They take a trip to camp half blood where everyone's talking about " Greek Gods " and Jason is referring to them by their Roman names. Now Jason, Leo, and Piper must go on a quest and discover not only who they are, but who stole Jason's memory and why.


    If you liked the Percy Jackson series, you'll love "The Lost Hero of Olympus". Its action packed and if you read Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series, you'll recognize some old friends. I really liked this book because it had a Roman twist to it along with Greek and it tied together perfectly. Read Rick Riordan's "The Lost Hero of Olympus" and tell me what you think.

East by Edith Pattou

     In Edith Pattou's 'East', Rose's mother is very superstitious. So when her daughter was born, she was terrified. Since then, she kept her daughter's unusual birth a secret hoping to keep adventure-seeking Rose from leaving home. But when a humongor size talking white bear comes to the door asking for teenage Rose to come away with it and in return promises to keep her family healthy and prosperous, she agrees.

     Rose travels to a distant and mysterious castle that’s hidden inside of a mountain. Every night when she goes to bed, a stranger in the middle of the night sleeps next to her and disappears by morning. Finally discovering who she shares a bed with, he's soon taken by the troll queen "East of the sun and West of the moon." an impossible place but she's determined to find him and has an adventure of a life time.


     First off, if a talking polar bear came to my door asking me to go with him, I'd most likely go in a heartbeat. This was a magical book, full of surprises till the very end. I read it to my sisters and they enjoyed it as much as I did. Since I've read the book, I've been wondering what it would be like to travel "East of the sun and West of the moon."  

City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

WARNING. DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ 'THE CITY OF BONES' BY CASSANDRA CLARE. I'M SERIOUS!                                      

    So some crazy stuff is going down in this book, some unbelievable stuff. Finding her mother in a magical comatose state, Clary Fray is now faced with trying to not only find a way to wake her mother, but now knowing she's a Shadow Hunter, she's trying to help find the second mortal instrument. If that wasn't enough, she also finds out that her real father is actually the most evil man alive, the one and only, Valentine Morgenstern. (who by the way is supposed to be dead. Just throwing it out there.) On top of that, Mr. Heart stopper himself, aka Jace Wayland, (or should I say Morgenstern) is also her brother. 
    Then, just to really make your head spin, Simon is in love with her. Whoo! That was a lot and there's still more. Poor Jace is being accused of helping his father escape. You know, the evil one who tried to break the peace between the Down Worlders and Nephilim by trying to slaughter everyone. Then faked his death and went into hiding the past fifteen years raising Jace till he was ten, fooling everyone in believing that Jace was Michael Wayland's son, just to fake his death again. Then gathered his followers and stole the mortal cup and now going after the sword. Yeah, you know the one. The question is, will he? Valentine wasn't the most nurturing father, but he was the only one Jace ever knew. Now that his father is back from the dead and he's being accused of horrible crimes, where will his loyalty lie? With his long lost dad who seems to be there for him? Or his adopted family who can't help but feel weary around him? 
     On top of it, trying to sort out his feelings for his knew founded sister. It’s a topsy turvy world right now for our heroes. But 'the City of Ashes' makes an amazing sequel to 'the City of Bones'. Cassandra Clare can do no wrong. If you read this post without reading the first book and now your upset because i spilled everything when I warned you not to. All well. I mean come on, it was in big capital letters. You should of listened and you can blame no one but yourself. Well guys, read the book and tell me what you think. I assure you, if you liked 'the City of Bones' you're going to love 'the City of Ashes".
