Overall I loved the book and I’m going to continue reading the trilogy. It was an emotional roller coaster through the book and after the ending left me wondering and questioning. I recommend this to anyone who likes books with a hint of romance action, and a dystopian community. Cassia is a strong independent person that will keep fighting for the right to choose. It had a well-known theme, an exciting plot with twist and turns, and amazing characters.
I've read alot of vampire mangas but this is by far my favorite . Love it !
This is definitely one of my favorite shoujo mangas.
Oh man, it’s been a while since I’ve devoured a book like this. I fell in love so quickly, hooked so fast, and read half of it in one sitting. Would have read to whole thing, but it was three in the morning and I couldn’t keep my eyes open. The writing is beautiful, the scenery is gorgeous, we finally have a girl falling for the boy who treats her right and shunning the “bad boy” who only wants to control her. I love the suspense that’s kept throughout the entire book, and although I disliked Eli and his role in the beginning, it all worked in the end.
I love the voice. We follow Amelia, a girl who drowned in a river, as she wanders around and tries to figure out who she was before she died. She falls in love with a boy in the living world, and they try to make things work despite Eli getting in the way. Joshua, the one she falls in love with, is absolutely adorable. She rescues him from the same fate she suffered, and after that, they’re pretty much inseparable. He’s an absolute sweetheart and it’s so refreshing to see a love story that shows a healthy relationship. Even if this relationship is a bit…abnormal.
I would have been completely happy with this just being a story about how Joshua helped Amelia figure out who she was and left it at that. But the author went beyond that and added a little supernatural flair. The final showdown was a bit anti climactic, I’ll admit, but considering how wonderful the rest of the book was, I really wasn’t show more bothered by it. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for a beautiful, although unusual, love story. And that’s coming from someone who would rather stay away from romance. show less

x0 by Sherrie Cronin
The ancient group x0 hides in the shadows until a young Nigerian beauty forces them to emerge. Thinking that her telepathic abilities are perfectly normal, this young Igbo woman named Somadina draws upon her powers to seek an ally to rescue her captive sister. Unfortunately, the telepath she finds is cranky Texan lady who doesn't believe in nonsense and who insists that the disturbing phenomenon in her own mind isn't there.
Once Somadina realizes that her sister has become a strategic pawn in a dangerous game of international politics, she vows to do anything to get the attention of this uncooperative fellow psychic. x0 would like to ignore them both, but as the two women struggle with each other, they both become more powerful. While a fringe fanatic puts his plan in place, common links begin to forge these two radically different women together in ways even x0 barely understands
Amazing book ; I highly recommend it ! It was definitely a great mixture between reality and fantasy .

J'ai lu ce livre lorsque j'avais 9-10 ans et je me rappelle avoir demandé a ma mère de m'acheter la collection complète peu de temps après . La collection a toujours une place dans ma bibliothèque ; je ne me suis jamais vraiment lassé de me plonger dans le monde fantastique de Piggy Sue . Excellent roman !
''CHERUB spies, 17 and under, hack into computers, bug houses, download crucial documents, and Do Not Exist. James, recently orphaned, is their newest recruit, and brilliant in math. After 100 days grueling training, his mission begins.''
- To be honest , this book was introduced to me by my teacher and I though I wouldn't really like it but...I ended up buying the whole serie and reading it in less than 2 weeks . It was a really exciting book and I ended up enjoying the whole serie.

This book is probably one of my favorite books ever .
Pour être tout à fait honnête , je ne m'attendais pas a ce que ce livre m'intéresse , m'ayant été introduit par ma prof de français . J'ai cru que ce livre serait un autre de ces romans d'aventure avec un grain de romance mais ce fut bien le contraire . J'ai fini le premier livre (autrement dit , celui-ci ) le jour même que je l'ai eu ; je ne pouvais simplement plus détacher mes mains du roman . Puis , j'ai fini par acheter la collection complète puis je l'ai fini en une semaine , voire moins . Mis à part cela , je tiens à recommander ce livre à tout jeune passionné des séries d'aventures . Tout au long de la série , on se prend facilement d'affection pour les personnages . Aussi , le concept d'alter ego m'a plu énormément , ayant lu un roman portant sur une roman entièrement sur ce sujet quelques mois auparavant . Je n'ai pas vraiment l'habitude d'écrire de critique mais ce livre en a valu la peine . Je le recommande encore une fois .
Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school... again. And that's the least of his troubles. Lately, mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology textbook and into his life. And worse, he's angered a few of them. Zeus' master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.
Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to find and return Zeus' stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.

''When you can’t trust yourself, who can you believe?
Everything about Anna’s life is a secret. Her father works for the Branch at the helm of its latest project: monitoring and administering treatments to the four genetically altered boys in the lab below their farmhouse. There’s Nick, Cas, Trev . . . and Sam, who’s stolen Anna’s heart. When the Branch decides it’s time to take the boys, Sam stages an escape, killing the agents sent to retrieve them.
