Marie Lu has another fast paced, suspense filled, hit on her hand and trust me when I say the first book will leave you clamoring for more.  The characters are awesome and so is how they come together in the story.  You will stay up way past your bed time just to see what happens next it is that exciting.  Yes, I too want Ms. Lu to hurry so I can read more about these friends.

Pawsitively Cursed (ADULT AUDIO)

 Amber Blackwell is getting ready for the big fashion show like everyone else in their small town.  When her aunt Gretchen shows up claiming she just needs to be near family, but the cat comes out of the bag when Amber's sister Willow shows up out of the blue as well.  It seems the Penhallows are coming and they are coming for Amber.

This is such a quaint and fun mystery book with a bit of witchcraft thrown in.  I think it was funny that all these clans where under this one city at a time but it seems none of the town members had a clue what was going on until Amber tells the sheriff, pure proof of small towness.  I really liked this (audio)book and hope to someday get to review the rest, yes they are that much fun.  Narrator Victoria Villarreal made this book even more exciting through her voice.  She brought to life all the characters and was able to make me feel all range of emotions as I progressed though the audio.  This is a great book no matter which format you choose.

The Conundrum of Collies (The Love & Pets Romantic Comedy Series Book 6) (ADULT)

 Stevie and Logan made a deal that the would get married when they were very little and it was sealed with a kiss so you know it has to happen, kisses are bigger than pinky promises after all.  When Stevie's collie Bean keeps escaping to others yards in the neighborhood especially the one with chickens, Bean is a herding dog after all, he needs to herd.  So to try and tire him out and to check off her before I turn thirty list she joins a disc club, Bean takes to it fast and it looks like its working as well as meeting new interesting people, and maybe date some after all she is going to be thirty in a few weeks. That is when things get very interesting.

This book is as wonderful and fun as her other books.  I am not much into romance but I do love animals so I can not miss reading any of the Love and Pets series.  They can be read separately, they mention other characters from other books but not enough that they can not be read as a stand alone.  I will warn you once you read one you will want to read the others.

White Fox (YA)

When Thais and Manon's mom disappeared it turned their lives upside down sent away from there home by their father to live with a Aunt.  But now they have returned as young women for a show honoring their mother only to be left a clue that maybe she isn't dead after all, and maybe just maybe if they follow the clues in their mom's last manuscript they will be reunited with her.
This is a psychological thriller that will have you up way past your bedtime to see where they go next and who among the cast of characters may have helped their mom or can help them decipher the clues.  There is plenty of action and a world of suspense to keep you captivated.  This is a great book and one to go on the TBR pile for sure.

I left the summary of the book short on purpose I didn't want to have any spoilers.  But this is a wonderful book where science and comic book stories rule, and tweens learn their own strengths.  This is a well thought out books with awesome characters that anyone can relate to one or more of, and can hold the attention of even a reluctant readers.

This is a wonderful book alternating views from Sela and Jack.  This book is full of action and has twists and turns that will keep you on your toes.  The audio is narrated by Aimee Smith and Nicholas Cain, who are both quite talented and play their parts so well, if you get the audio form of the book you won't be disappointed, it is really good.  The first book was awesome and this one is just as good if not better I hope there are more to come.
