Cruel Summer by Alyson Noel

Summary: After dumping her dorky image, and her best friend that went with it, Colby Cacendish is looking forward to a summer filled with tons of parties, BBQs, trips to the beach, and more future hookups with the hottest guy in school, Levi Bonham.

Colby's world soon comes crashing down.

Her parent's decided to send her away for the summer to Greece with her aunt Tally, which her parent's always called crazy.

While on the island, Colby worries that her new friends have forgotten her.

She has no mall, no cell-phone reception, and an aunt who talks to her plants.

But when Colby meets Yannis, a cute Greek local, her whole summer changes directions.

Colby soon discovers the difference between a summer fling and a real relationship.

It forces her to look inside of herself and try to find herself, in a new way.

Rating: 3 1/2 Stars

Review: While I really love Alyson Noel, I didn't think that Cruel Summer was her best work. I think that it was a well written novel, but it didn't really capture me as much as others. Colby was a very interesting character. Her world was very complex and she did have some problems to deal with. I think that she did find herself in a very nice way. It was fun to see her world play out. I'm not that sure how to describe this novel by Alyson Noel. I think that this book is mostly for people who like to read more then the people who just wait for the right book for them.

Blog Backgrounds. :]

Hello to my few blog follows. :]

I seem to be having a difficult time finding a nice background for my blog.

I've trying a lot of different ones and I really can't seem to find one.

So, I was wondering if any of you would like to help me find a new background.

If you find something that you think I might like I would love it if you could post the link for the background in a comment on this post.

Or my chat box if that's easier for you. :]

This would greatly help me out.

And how knows if you help me find a background you might get a surprise. :] haha

Thanks Everyone,

YA Connection Contest!

YA Connection is holding a contest for Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson which comes out in March.

Click HERE to head to Steph's (Reviewer X) blog to enter! :]

Here's an excert from the book and Steph's thoughts on it.

“Dead girl walking,” the boys say in the halls.

"Tell us your secret,” the girls whisper, one toilet to another.

I am that girl.

I am the space between my thighs, daylight shining through.

I am the bones they want, wired on a porcelain frame.

Lia and Cassie are best friends, wintergirls frozen in matchstick bodies, competitors in a deadly contest to see who can be the skinniest. But what comes after size zero and size double-zero? When Cassie succumbs to the demons within, Lia feels she is being haunted by her friend’s restless spirit.

In her most emotionally wrenching, lyrically written book since the multiple-award-winning Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson explores Lia’s descent into the powerful vortex of anorexia, and her painful path toward recovery.

Secret Vampire: Part One of Night World No. 1 by L. J. Smith

Poppy wanted her summer to last forever.

To spend every minute she possibly could with James.

Poppy could tell that he was harboring a secret, but she wasn't sure what it could be.

She wanted to know though.

She thought this summer would be different.

But when Poppy was diagnosed with terminal cancer, she found out her summer would be different.

Just not how she expected.

Now Poppy has to rely on James to save her.

Not only is James her best friend, he soon becomes her secret lover.

As a vampire in the Night World, James has the decision to make Poppy immortal and ultimately save her life.

But doing so would mean that James has to go against all of the rules of the Night World that he belongs to whether he wants to or not.

4 STARS

I likes this book. Although I think it could of had a little bit more suspense and mystery in it. This was the first book by J. L. Smith that I've read but I really like her writing style. She is definitely very unique. Smith writes vampire novels very well. Considering that that's what she's known for. But within this book, there are two more parts that I still have to read, which deal witches. So I'm very interested in finding out how well J. L. Smith writes about different fantasy tales and things like that. :]
