Review of Forbidden Game by L.J. Smith

This book is about Jenny, who while searching for something to do at her boyfriend Tom's birthday party, stumbles upon the More Games shop, she goes in. There, a stunningly handsome boy name Julian hands her The Game. She and her 6 friends open it up, and agree to the rules, thinking it is a joke. Suddenly they are all on an extremely perilous journey of love, lies, and deception. To win, they must face their deepest fears, and to lose is to die. All in all, this was one of the weirder books I've read, but it was fantastic. The idea was so original that I immediately loved it and it had a little bit of everything; peril, love, friendship, and horror. This is a must read that I will be rereading possibly every halloween.

Review of Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

I absolutely loved this book. It was so good and so different from other stuff I have read. The author never really tells you who the bad guy is in the novel, you think you know who it is, but then a curve is thrown at you. So the main character is Nora who starts to develop a crush on her new seating partner, Patch. Except Patch seems to know really specific things about Nora, which scares her and he won't tell her anything about himself. He seems dangerous, but also really HOT and nice. Then weird things start to happen to Nora, she is attacked, someone goes through her house, etc. And Nora thinks dangerous (but HOT) Patch is behind this, EVEN though she really likes him. I cannot give the ending away, but you have to check this book out. I cannot wait for the next book, Crescendo!!
