Infinite Days by Rebecca Maizel

Reviewed by Catherine, age 16:

Infinite Days is an incredible fiction book, about a teenage Lenah, who happens to be over 500 years old. In 1418 Lenah was in her Father's apple orchid when Rhode Lewin, another extremely dangerous vampire, turned her into a blood-sucking vampire. After hundreds of years of murdering innocent people and animals it is 1910, and Lenah wants to become a human. Her lover Rhode devises a strategic plan on how to turn her from vampire back to human. She goes into hibernation for 100 years and wakes up in Lovers Bay Massachusetts, in 2010, as a human.

Infinite Days is an amazing book of love, true friendship, and blood sucking vampires. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an easy, quick read.

Kiss Me Deadly was a good collection of stories about ghosts, vampires, genies, and other creatures. Some of the short stories in the book were hard to get into, but most were very enjoyable.

Manifest by Artist Arthur

Krystal Bentley is an outsider at her new high school, having just moved to a small Connecticut town; lately she's been hearing the voice of a teenage boy in her head, and he becomes her friend and confidant--the only problem is, he's dead.

Reviewed by Amanda, age 16:

Manifest was an interesting novel, filled with unusual supernatural powers and plot twists that will capture the reader's attention through each chapter. Krystal, the main character, is a misjudged teenager trying to make sense of her life in a new town and trying to control her new, supernatural power. She will probably get on your nerves through the greater part of the novel but with her first romance bubbling, dealing with her parents' messy divorce, and problems with high school bullies, her character is easily relatable to. This book had a little of everything – enough romance, suspense, and mystery to get the reader's attention; overall a good read.

Mister Creecher by Chris Priestley

In 1918 London, Billy, a pickpocket, meets Mr. Creecher, a monstrous giant, and their relationship swiftly turns from pure convenience to a strong bond as they journey northwards on the trail of Victor Frankenstein.

Reviewed by Katie, age 13:

Mister Creecher is a novel that refers much to Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". Taking place in 18th century London it tells the tale about Jack, one of the many pickpockets in London's very own underworld, and his peculiar friendship with the ominous Mister Creecher. Although at first he seems awkward and dangerous, Jack soon learns that Mister Creecher has a soft spot, as is revealed later on in the story. Truthfully, it is a well written book. Unfortunately, it did lag a bit and had a rather unhappy ending. None the less I thought it was a great book and definitely one worth reading, as it takes you from the depths of London's pits to the high life and back down again with promises of tales of adventures and freak shows. A wonderful novel, I recommend this for those in need of a good scare or wanting to try something new.

The Near Witch by Victoria Schwab

16-year-old Lexi, who lives on an enchanted moor at the edge of the village of Near, must solve the mystery when, the day after a mysterious boy appears in town, children start disappearing.

Reviewed by Paige, 11:

I liked the action in the book. It was very exciting! The ending was suprising and it was filled with some sorrowful parts. Overall it was an ok book. I rated it a "2".

Reviewed by Zachary, 10:

My comments about the book titled The Near Witch are for all to see. It revolves around the fact that there are children that go missing at the same time of the arrival of a stranger in the town of Near. But there are no strangers in the town of Near. Will a girl become a hero to all? Or will a much more powerful force destroy the heart of all in the town of Near? Read more of this "tragic love story" in The Near Witch. This book reminds me of the book/series BONE. There is the same double threat theme in the 8th, 9th and 1st (the first of the new series). I would rate this book 10/10 because it is very interesting.

Nightshade by Andrea Cremer

Calla and Ren have been raised knowing it is their destiny to mate with one another and rule over their pack, but when a human boy arrives and vies for Calla's heart, she is faced with a decision that could change her whole world.

Reviewed by Becca, age 15:

Nightshade was an amazing book. Calla Tor is a Guardian. When she turns eighteen, she will become the alpha leader of her pack with her mate, Ren. Calla is prepared to take on this responsibility until she saves a wandering hiker named Shay. Calla is able to control her pack but her feelings for Shay get in the way.

Reviewed by Emily, age 17:

Nightshade is a great beginning to this new series. Calla Tor must decide between her duty to her pack and the love of her heart in this novel as she struggles for control over her own life. She is a strong protagonist with traits that many will be able to identify with. Her ability to shift into the form of a wolf was interesting and also provided a lot of insight into her character. The plot of the novel flows nicely and revolves around the dark world hidden beneath the mundane, as well as the mysteries within it. Cremer's imagery is well-executed, and the other characters in the novel are also well-developed. While I am curious to see what happens in the next book, I would not advise this book to younger teens because some of the romance sections are a bit too detailed for that audience. Overall, however, I enjoyed this novel.
