In The Shadow Of Blackbirds By Cat Winters

 Rating: 5 stars
 In The Shadow of blackbirds was written for people who get that feeling that there's more after death. Winters became obsessed with the plague of 1918 so much, that she was compelled to write a book about it. Her imagination and knowledge of the historical event brings the story to life. Mary Shelley Black is the most intelligent girl you'll ever meet, (according to Stephen Embers) she's also the most beautiful. Is that why he chose to reach out to her, after he left for the war? He supposedly died a heroic death in battle, yet his spirit haunts Mary Shelley while being tormented by black birds. Mary Shelley is loosing her mind while her Aunt, whom she stays with, is loosing her patience. What really caused Stephen's death, and will Mary ever put her long lost love to rest? Your in for a bone chilling thriller, that'll have you questioning the after life. You'll maybe even hold on to the covers at night. Read it and weep.

Blackout by Robison Wells

 Blackout is about four teenagers who have ability's. Laura and Alec are terrorists, while Jack and Aubrey are just high school students. With the government trying to capture them they have to come together. One wrong move any everything can come crumbling down.

Blackout uses third point of view to explain what each of the teens had to go through. This is one of the first fiction book I have read in third person point of view and I really enjoyed it. At times this book can get a little confusing but overall a really good read.

The Selection series by Kiera Cass

The Selection series is one of the best series I have ever read. The three part book series starts with The Selection. The main character America Singer, is a violin player and is in the caste 5. Which contains mostly artist and musicians. When America is forced to enter the selection, which is a competition to see who gets to marry the prince, America is left conflicted. In the second book, The Elite, America starts to fall desperatley in love with , Prince Maxon, but can't forget about her undying  passion for Aspen. With the competition winding down, what will America do? The Last book 'The One' I can't tell you about it without spoiling.
In all The Selection series is a great series. You'll love and hate the charaters at the same time. The dialog is relatable, and conflicts are amazingly interesting.

Deep and Dark and Dangerous

Mary Downing Hahn is an expert when it comes to writing ghost stories and her book Deep and Dark and dangerous is No exception. This story tells the tale of a dead girl(obviously). Teresa drowned at a young age and frames her cousins as the murderers. All Teresa wants is an apology from Dulcie and Claire who are now adults with children. Haunting Dulcie's and Claire's daughters is the way she'll get that apology. This book is full of creepy suspense, I guarantee you'll love the  boundaries Teresa crosses before she crosses over.

Alice in Zombieland: Off with their heads.

After living in fear all her life, Alice Bell finally realizes what her dad has been keeping her from. All it took was a car crash, the death of her family and Cole Holland for her to see the Zombies. Fighting side by side with her new crew and trying to protect her family is now all that matters. School and a social life doesn't, all she wants is for the creatures that caused the death of her parents to be wiped out. With the help of cole and her ghost sisters Rabbit with a pocket watch cloud, she can destroy them all. But is there a bigger threat out there?

 This book by Gena Showalter is a work of art. Her twist on the original wonderland and her new way to portray zombies is golden. I desperately recommend reading this if you like being on your toes and a little jumpy at night. (This can get Stephen King scary.)
