Storm – review

I picked this up because it looked like a fast read – and the idea of elemental magic ( earth , air , fire , water ) has a strong appeal to me. What I didn’t know is that it was one of those books that I picked up and couldn’t put down until I was finished.

Story: Since her ex has spread rumors about her, Becca’s life hasn’t been easy. Then she saves Chris form a beating in a parking lot, which doesn’t make her life easier. It turns out  that Chris and his brothers live a very dangerous life and Becca gets involved . Now her life is in danger too.

What I really liked about the book: The characters. No character is perfect. This book has a love triangle, but it is one that makes sense. It makes is clear that there is reason Becca likes both of them.

Paranormal romance recommend for most unless sexual violence is a trigger for you .

Review – legend

Legend  by  Marie  Lu
from the catalog:

In a dark future, when North America has split into two warring nations, fifteen-year-olds Day, a famous criminal, and prodigy June, the brilliant soldier hired to capture him, discover that they have a common enemy

This is the first in a series and it is well done!While I am eager to figure out what happens next, I felt the story was fairly complete – the first part of the story is told. I recommend this book from the Teen Top ten nominees.
