Chapter One Sneaky

The sound of feet running against the grass could be heard a mile away. When the footsteps came closer, I broke from my thoughts. I turned around to see who it was behind me and saw a blue eyed, brunette girl - my younger sister, Breena. Two pale green wings spread out from beneath her hair, illuminating the glitter that accommodated the beautiful pattern of glittered green lilies marking her face starting from behind her eyebrow and fell beneath her eyes.

“I knew I would find you here!” Breena said excitedly.

“Hey there, dragonfly!” I greeted her.

Breena began walking closer to me, falling directly under the sunlight, her skin glowing while her wings and lily markings began to dissolve from the direct exposure to the sun. “Mother and father were shaking their wings with worry, driving the entire staff crazy. They didn’t know where you had disappeared off to. I told them I had a small feeling where you might be, so I asked them for permission to come look for you. I figured you would be somewhere in the woods so I decided to start here, and I was right to find you here,” Breena said in one breath before a smile appeared on her face, making her skin glow even more. “Now that I have found you, it’s my duty to inform you that it’s time for you to come home for breakfast.”

“Why did you come all the way over here so early?” Breena asked.

“I was just thinking about some things.”

“What kind of things?” Breena asked.

I shifted my gaze from Breena and began looking at a space between two large trees. “Just things about what it would be like to go through the portals that separate the realms.”

NEW CW SERIES!

Those of you who know me know how much I love history! Especially historical fiction! I love it to death! So you can imagine my expression when the promo for the CW's new show came on T.V. 


Ahh I'm so excited!

I get chills when I see the trailer on T.V. I write a review after I watch the series premiere.

Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shephard

Three years ago, Alison disappeared after a slumber party, not to be seen since. Her friends at the elite Pennsylvania school mourned her, but they also breathed secret sighs of relief. Each of them guarded a secret that only Alison had known. Now they have other dirty little secrets, secrets that could sink them in their gossip-hungry world. When each of them begins receiving anonymous emails and text messages, panic sets in. Are they being betrayed by some one in their circle? Worse yet: Is Alison back? A strong launch for a suspenseful series.












Pretty Little Liars sets the story a group of five friends and when the leader of the group Allison mysteriously disappears, the girls all go their separate ways. A year after her death 

I have been following the show for a while now. Pretty Little Liars has to be one of the best and high rated shows ABCFamily has aired in a long time. I've been watching it since day one, and I knew the T.V. show was based on a book but I wasn't sure as to whether or not to read the books because like the Vampire Diaries, whenever This is one of the shows that is still renewed for a contract. I had seen the novels around the bookstore and I did judge it by the cover. I thought by looking at the cover this was going to be another one of those books series that tries to knock-off the popular books, like the Gossip Girl series. 

I hope this review doesn't make me sound biased but here it goes. I'm not going to lie. I thought the first four books in the series were really good. The final book in the series was originally book six, and that left everything into piece. Then comes in ABCFamily who decided to make Pretty Little Liars into a T.V. show, and still keep the show running because of it's highest ratings.  So then the publisher demanded more books from the series, and just like with the House of Night novels, the plot and everything else just went down the drain, and taking the characters with them. The first four books were good, then after that the rest of the series went south.

The Lost Hero (Heroes of Olympus Bk 1) by Rick Riordan

I love Greek Gods!

The Lost HeroJason has a problem. He doesn't remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl. Apparently he has a girlfriend named Piper. His best friend is a kid named Leo, and they're all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for "bad kids", as Leo puts it. What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea—except that everything seems very wrong.
Piper has a secret. Her father, a famous actor, has been missing for three days, and her vivid nightmares reveal that he's in terrible danger. Now her boyfriend doesn't recognize her, and when a freak storm and strange creatures attack during a school field trip, she, Jason, and Leo are whisked away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood. What is going on?
Leo has a way with tools. His new cabin at Camp Half-Blood is filled with them. Seriously, the place beats Wilderness School hands down, with its weapons training, monsters, and fine-looking girls. What's troubling is the curse everyone keeps talking about, and that a camper's gone missing. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist they are all—including Leo—related to a god.


Years ago when I finished the Harry Potter series I told  myself I wouldn't like many other adventure series. But MAN Rick Riordan can write and is now one of my favorite middle school.

For a brief summary,  three teens, Jason, Piper and Leo, are at a Wilderness Camp a camp for delinquents when they are attacked by wind spirits. The coach is carried away, and they make a near escape on a chariot pulled by Pegasus. Leo, a fiery Latino; Piper, a beautiful charmer of Native American and Hollywood heritage; and Jason, a guy with a magical sword and virtually no conscious memory of his life before that fatal day at camp; are taken to Camp Half-Blood, into a series of self-discoveries and a quest. 

At firs I thought Jason was a replacement for Percy, but as you get further into the series you see the characters evolve more, I didn't find myself too gripped to them, but they do bring the story out.What I liked most about this series is how it combines Greek and Roman Gods. Great book for the first in a series, I am anxious to read the next book in the series.
