Vampire story lovers, take note! This story is about a teenage girl named Kerry Nowicki. One night, her little brother asks her to go get his toy bear he left at the laundry in town. Kerry reluctantly goes, though she only has her learner's permit. When she gets there, she accidentally walks in on a hostage holding, and her heart goes out to Ethan, the hostage. Of course, she doesn't believe the captors when they tell her he's a vampire. Then, a couple days after she helps him escape, they run into each other again and he also claims he's a vampire, then proves it by showing her that the severe wounds he had received during his captivity had completely healed. When they arrive at Kerry's house, someone has taken Kerry's family. So Kerry teams up with Ethan to save them. What she doesn't realize is that by the end of this ordeal, she'll be a criminal - and will have found true love. This story is NOT for the younger readers. Enjoy!!

One of the Royal Diaries series, this book show the life of Mary, Queen of Scots through her eyes. Follow her as she lives her life in France, betrothed to the Dauphin Francis and struggling with her role as Queen. Plots surround her, as do spies and others who wish her harm. But her friends and the man she truly loves are there to protect her throughout this wonderful book.
Harry Potter is a worldwide phenomenon. Everyone’s read it (or burned it), and its the most popular series of the 21st century (so far). I’m here to review the latest entry in the chronicles of the wizard in training. Most of you have already read it and if I said anything critical you would bombard me with hate-mail like Fullmetal Alchemist fans to X-Play. But I do think this is the best yet, and I’m eagerly awaiting the next (and final *sob*) installment. The series continues to grow darker, and there is another major death, one that shakes the Potter mythos to its core. This is an amazing literary achievement (ahh, no hate-mail, except from the religious fanatics). If your are one of the two people in the world who hasn’t read this book, check it out. - Review by Daniel from Edinburg, VA

You find what looks like a large sapphire while hunting to get family food during the winter. You try to sell it, but no one has a clue what it is. A few days later, a dragon hatches from it. You are either the teenage boy, Eragon, who Lives in a lord of the rings-type world or very, very lucky. If you liked Lord of the Rings, you’ll love this. This is one of my favorite books of all time and the beginning of the Inheritance Trilogy, which you won’t want to miss. Can you believe the author is only about the age of the main character? - Review by Daniel, Edinburg, VA 5/5 stars.
