Angels & Demons by Dan Brown



I finally finished this book and I loved it! If your looking for a page turner, this is it! I liked it better than the Da Vinci Code for sure and I can't wait for this movie to come out. They better not screw it up or I'm gonna be pissed!

I'm seriously amazed with Dan Brown. He must have done years of research to write his books! All the crap he knows is crazy, it really is so interesting. When Alex read this book he would stay up until 2 am because he couldn't put it down. I woke up one time and there he was next to me in bed on his laptop looking up some interesting facts from the book.

So if you can't tell, I highly recommend this book to anyone.

Club Dead by Charlaine Harris




Just finished! I really liked this one, definately better than Living Dead In Dallas.

This book reminded me so much of the 2nd book in the Twilight series. You know the one where Edward leaves for the whole book and Bella spends all her time with Jacob? Yep, pretty close to the same plot line here...

...hmmmmm...

Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris




So this is the 2nd book in the "True Blood" series, it didn't keep my attention as much as the first one. Is it possible I like the first book better because I liked the cover of the 1st book better? The cover of this book totally throws you off to what's inside and I'm sorry to say that I DO judge a book by it's cover.
There's nothing better than a pretty book don't you think?

Dead Until Dawn by Charlaine Harris



So because I am a Twilight fan I wanted to read these vampire books by Charlaine Harris to see how they compare to Stephanie Meyers books. These books were written before Meyer ever wrote the Twilight series so I can't help but think she pretty much stole her vampire ideas from Harris, or at least she was inspired by Harris.

Harris' books are like an R-rated version of Twilight. For everyone that was frustrated over Bella and Edward's non physical relationship, Dead Until Dawn is for you! This book is only for adults because of the sexual content!

In Harris' books, the girl falls in love with the vampire just like in Twilight, but the girl is the one who can read minds instead of the vampire. And since the girl, Sooki, is the one who reads minds she can't read the mind of her vampire, Bill.

Yep, Bill the vampire!

I did like this book and thought it was interesting because the vampires were supposed to be accepted by humans now because of the invention of synthetic blood. So since the Vampire's don't have to kill humans to survive, they have been able to live in the same society as humans.

I've decided to continue reading the series, the next one is "Living Dead in Dallas" so we'll see if they keep my interest.

A Cry in the Night by Mary Higgins Clark



Again.

My mom's friend gave her a bunch of old Mary Higgins Clark books so I thought I'd re-read them!

The Cradle Will Fall by Mary Higgins Clark




I've read this book before but I have totally forgot what it was all about. I just remember I liked it.

Sisters of Misery by Megan Kelley Hall


A spooky story, great for a Halloween read! It took me a while to really get into it, but once I did I had to finish it.
