What She Left Behind by Tracy Bilen
Beautiful, easy read. I recommend it to anyone searching for a bit of dark drama, but not willing to commit to a huge story that takes ages to read. The book is only about 237 pages long.
Sara lives with her mother and her father, and her brother also used to live with them..
Her father is abusive towards her mother, but when her mother disappears, all the abuse turns towards Sara. Sara tries desperately to believe her mother hasn't deserted her, but her hope slips away slowly.
I enjoyed the book because it was realistic. Sara didn't completely hate her father, she admits that a lot. She remembers that he once was a good man, and that some tiny part of herself will always love him.
Engage yourself in Sara's scary, motivated world, full of memories, sadness, boys, new love and renewing emotions with old friends.

Falling For Hamlet by Michelle Ray
First comes love, then comes madness.
WOW wow wow wow. That was my thoughts as I put the book down for the final time. This book is not a mere romance but it's a brilliant tragedy, filled with sexy twists and scandalous secrets. Michelle Ray was inspired by the play, Hamlet, set in a modern day society. She made her book different by focusing on Ophelia's point of view through her fast paced, on and off romance with the prince, Hamlet. Needless to say that Hamlet's father dies pretty much in the beginning and after that everything at the castle of the royals of Denmark, becomes tragic, and just plain weird. The book is magnificently written and is also written in an interesting format. From present to past to even further back and on and on. The characters are so well developed that you immediately like or dislike the character, and even sometimes have something in common with them.
Is being in the eye of the public, always a good thing?
There's a statement, a phrase that is prominent in this book,"Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth." and, "truth fears no trial".
JUST WOW. WOW. WOW.
MY NEW FAVORITE. Please read it.
Rating, 10/10
Don't judge the book by the boring cover.

The Secret Circle, Book One: The Initiation and The Captive Part 1, by L.J Smith
I was browsing around my local book store when I came upon this interesting book, it is quite thin, less pages than what I usually read but I gave it a shot. Surprisingly, I didn't like it too much, even though it's written by my favorite author (which I'm starting to doubt) but I guess when we get older our taste in books and writing changes. Anyway the book is about a girl named Cassie who lived in California but had to move to New England to help her mother care for her "sick" grandmother. At first she hates it there but she changes her mind a lot about whether she actually hates it so much. Her 'best friend", the nice girl seems too nice and idolized to me. No one can possibly have so much patience. The evil girl then seems too bitchy, which I don't think is THAT possible for a sixteen year old like herself, her evil seems more developed than it should be. Anyway what kept me reading was the main guy character, Adam, who had red hair and ocean blue eyes, he was cool.
Anyway the book has a good story line but it's slow paced and gets a bit boring. There is another book in the series and I will read it, because I hate starting a series and not finishing it. The only series I haven't finished because I hated it too much was P.C Cast's House Of Night but that's a story for another day. The Secret Circle is intriguing, however, if you like new age poetry and magic.
The book is okay, if you want to read it, borrow it from someone, I don't think it's worth buying. Thanks xx
5/10

Heaven by Alexandra Adornetto
Is love a great enough power against evil?
This book brought me to tears throughout as Beth struggles to keep the heavens from tearing her newly formed marriage with Xavier (a human boy) apart. A dangerous force is after them, will she be smart enough to do whats right?
This is the final book in the Halo series and I must say it is so beautifully written, the emotions just poured out of me. It is brilliant and unlike other books there is a message within the writing in the entire series. It teaches you about religion, friends, family and love. I'm depressed the series is over, the book only took me 2 days to read, not because it was short, but because I couldn't manage to put it down. I stayed up until 1 a.m reading it 'last night'.
The amazing thing is, Bethany is an angel but her romance with Xavier is so real, anyone can relate to it. If you're in a relationship while reading this, i'm sure you'll find something in common with Beth and Xaviar.
Please read this series. Halo, Hades and Heaven.
