A Review for Another Faust by Daniel and Dina Nayeri
Another Faust by Daniel and Dina Nayeri is an interesting tale. Its origins tie in with Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Five everyday teens go from lives of poverty, lies, jealousy, and hate to lives that could only be explained as possibly historical. These lives of fame and beauty and knowledge come at a price. A price that they are willing to pay and a price Faust himself knew all to well. This story is filled with twists, conspiracies, and an ending you won't see coming. If you are looking for a new book to read late into the night try Another Faust.

A Review for Hold Still by Nina LaCour
Hold Still by Nina LaCour is a riveting emotional experience. Anyone that has experienced the loss of a loved one will feel a connection with the main character, Caitlin. This is a story of emotional instability, of a hole in the whole of a teen girl's life. It's a story of a girl trying to find her place in a world torn asunder. This is a story of sadness and the aftermath of suicide and the good that can come from the bad. Anyone looking for an emotional teen story will love this book.

A Review for Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins is the second installment in the series that began with The Hunger Games. The series just keeps getting better with this one. This story is filled with even more twists and turns and ups and downs than the roughest of roller coasters. The characters are seen under new light and surprises are around every corner. New friends come to play and a broken down society might strike back. If you read the first novel, you definitely don't want to miss this one.

A Review for The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a real page turner. This story is set in a Sci-Fi like post-apocalyptic world, and a population ravaged by hunger. This book is an emotional roller coaster of suspense, action, romance, and gut wrenching moments. The characters are scarred, hungry, desperate people underneath the tyranny of a malicious government and their sick games. Teens will eat this book up and will definitely want more. Lucky for them this is just the first book in an obviously great series. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

A Review for Dirty Laundry by Daniel Ehrenhaft
Dirty Laundry by Daniel Ehrenhaft is a story about a girl, a guy or two, and a few villains thrown into the mix. This book is an interesting combination of mystery, romance, and suspense. Think of a detective mystery thrown in with a classic love story with a new age twist. The characters are easy to connect with even if they are a bit shady. The plot really pulls the reader in with its characters and setting. Anyone looking for another good mystery story to add to their "books I've read list" should make sure this one makes the list.

Review for I Heart You, You Haunt Me by Lisa Schroeder
I Heart you, you Haunt Me by Lisa Schroeder is written in an interesting and fun way. The classical story about a girl that finds a boy, a girl that loses a boy, and the twist of the boy that comes back. This may sound like the every day love story but it isn't. This story is a new twist on an old classic. The poetic styles throughout the book are refreshing and new for the everyday novel reader. This story will leave you with a smile. I recommend this to all the teenage guys and gals.

Review for Hex by Rhiannon Lassiter
Hex by Rhiannon Lassiter is an action packed Sci-Fi novel. Set in London during the 2300s, this book is a compelling read. This book has everything that any action or Sci-Fi fantasy fan loves. The main characters are teenagers themselves and are pursued by a cruel and prejudice government group. Chase scenes and close call escapes keep the pages turning until the end. Characters walk the line between good and evil as does the government. This book is a great introduction to a new series and a great read by itself. This book deserves two digital thumbs way up.

Book Review for The Dead and The Gone
The Dead and the Gone by Susan Beth Pfeffer is a fantastic book. It is about a world shaken by a global catastrophe and how the people adapt to their ever changing surroundings.The main character, Alex Morales, is like any other teen. He works hard, worries about the future, and doesn't always get along with his siblings. Alex and other characters from the book are easy to connect to and will keep readers hooked until the end. Filled with love, doubt, dread, and a determination to survive this book makes for a great read for teens.
