Fallen Series by Lauren Kate

  

  I bought the Fallen series on impulse when the beautifully designed cover caught my eye. Luce Price (pronounce Lucy for all those who are confused by the spelling....yes, I did too.) is enrolled in Sword and Cross boarding school which is very similar to a juvenile detention center seeing as all the students are a bit "rough around the edges."
     Luce is believed to be involved in the murder of her boyfriend and, although no hard evidence is found, is written off as mentally unstable before being sent to the school of "screw-ups" where surveillance is a must and cell phones are restricted and collected at entrance.
     There's only one good this about this hell hole, Daniel Grigori Daniel seems achingly familiar and the sight of this roughed up bad boy sends chills down Luce's spine; but she's drawn to him like a moth to a flame. Every cell in her being warns her to stay away, but she's instantly affected by him and she doesn't understand why. She must have known him from somewhere, and shes determined to find out how they know each other and she's not taking "no" for an answer.
     Daniel made it very clear that he wanted nothing to do with Luce and expressed his thoughts when he first laid his eyes on her by immediately smiling and flipping her off. Daniel has a secret, but will Luce uncover it? Daniel tries his best to stay away from Luce to keep her safe, but he gravitates toward her and just can’t keep his distance.
    The odd pair can't stay away from each other through no fault of their own. Fate has other plans in store for them that neither one can resist. Daniel warns her of what will happen if they're together, but will they be able to stay apart?
     Something has changed, everything is different this time. Can Daniel keep her safe? How can he tell her that he’s a fallen angel without her bursting into flames just like last time and the time before?
     The entire series is captivating and will draw you in until you’re greedily drinking every word from the page. Romance, suspense, fantasies, and a little hint of mystery will make you never want the story to end!

Read them all right here!

The Mentor: The Kid and The CEO by Tom Pace


     I was forced to read this book in my english class at school. My first thought was "Oh my gosh, I can't belikeve I have to read this. This isn't the type of books I usually read. What's the point?" Despite my hesitation, I began the short 150 page book and instantly got into it!
     The main charactor, Tony, is arrested and put in jail for stealing beer with his friend from a gas station at 19 years old. They would have gotten away with it had his friend made sure to fill the gas tank in the get away car. They only made it about half a mile down the road when the truck ran out of gas and they were both arrested. Repeatively through the first couple of chapters, Tony complains about how it "wasn't his fault that he was caught. If his friend had just put gas in the car, everything would be fine." He honestly believed that it wasn't his fault that he got caught, although he willingly stole the beer while under age in the first place.
     While in jail, Tony meets Malcom, the Monday night group leader, who gives him a book called "The Greatest Miracle In The World." This book inspires tony to becomea better person when he get out of jail. Malcom eventually becomes Tony's mentor when he has finished serving his 90 days in prison. Malcom teaches him how to become a better person and to start his own business.
     I found this to be an extremely inspiring book that I suggest for everyone to read! Tom Pace is an incredible author and an even better human being and mentor. If you have not already heard of Tom Pace, I high reccommend that you search him on Google and read about his truely amazing story.
     Hopefully you will take my advise and read this story and continue to share it with others as I have with you.  I hope that you also find it as encouraging as I do and will think about finding your own mentor! There is a list at the back of the book of titles that you should aslo read along with a list of things that we should all do in our lives to mke us better people for ourselves and others!

Review for The Hush, Hush series

The Hush, Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick is a truly amazing piece of work that I highly recommend to those who enjoy doomed romance and fictional circumstances.

SPOILER ALERT: Nora, the girl who shyly hides away from everyone besides her best friend, Vee, feels an unnatural connection with the new school bad boy. Patch is reserved, unsettling, and fiercely handsome; he's also a fallen angel. The pair of star-crossed lovers were doomed long before their love formed a thought in their confused minds, but it doesn't stop them from falling.

Fitzpatrick is an exceptional writer whom I believe to be one of the best authors I have found in quite a while. Her spell binding words enchant you from page one;
I couldn't put it down! Nora and Patch go through extraordinary lengths to stay with each other despite the archangel's attempts to separate them; including a threat to chain Patch in hell.
Their story is guaranteed to captivate you until the end and leave you wishing for more!

Patch, a fallen angel with no sense of touch. Has known no emotion except want.
Nora craves Patch's touch and loves him through the pain he causes.

Can they ever be together? Or will their pasts keep them apart?

I advise you to read the whole series!

Book 1: Hush, Hush
Book 2: Crescendo
Book 3: Silence
Book 4: Finale
