RACHEL MCCLELLAN

I was born and raised in Idaho, a place secretly known for its supernatural creatures. When I'm not in my writing lair, I'm partying with my husband and four small children. My love for storytelling began as a child when the moon first possessed the night. For when the lights went out, my imagination painted a whole new world. And what a scary world it was… Oh, and my debut YA novel Fractured Light will be out February 2012.

About the book:

Emily Webb is a geek. And she’s happy that way. Content hiding under hoodies and curling up to watch old horror flicks, she’s never been the kind of girl who sneaks out for midnight parties. And she’s definitely not the kind of girl who starts fights or flirts with other girls’ boyfriends. Until one night Emily finds herself doing exactly that . . . the same night one of her classmates—also named Emily—is found mysteriously murdered.
The thing is, Emily doesn’t know why she’s doing any of this. By day, she’s the same old boring Emily, but by night, she turns into a thrill seeker. With every nightfall, Emily gets wilder until it’s no longer just her personality that changes. Her body can do things it never could before: Emily is now strong, fast, and utterly fearless. And soon Emily realizes that she’s not just coming out of her shell . . . there’s something much bigger going on. Is she bewitched by the soul of the other, murdered Emily? Or is Emily Webb becoming something else entirely— something not human?
As Emily hunts for answers, she finds out that she’s not the only one this is happening to—some of her classmates are changing as well. Who is turning these teens into monsters—and how many people will they kill to get what they want?

My Review:

This book was really good and is a must read. It gave a paranormal twist to the old story of Romeo and his Juliet. 

I wish the ending would have been a little better. And I wish we would have cleaned up a few of the other lives that just kinda disappeared in the mist of time. But all in all it was a great story.

The Cellar

The Cellar by A.J. Whitten

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


When I requested this title on netGalley, I didn't really know what to expect. I'm not so much about zombies, they're not really my thing, and the only other book I've read about them is the Forest of Hands and Teeth (and that one was an ok book) So I thought I would give the undead another shot.



In this reviewers opinion, the story had a lot of potential - but the writing, the characters and the development of the story were dead in it's grave.



I was very bored through most of the book as the plot was very predictable so as far as this zombie book goes it just wasn't for me.

About the Book: Series: A C.H.A.O.S. Novel | Publication Date: January 3, 2012

The invasion was only the beginning . . .
After his parents were killed in a car accident, Colt McAllister was drawn into a world he thought only existed in comic books-one where mind control, jet packs, and flying motorcycles don't even scratch the surface.
Along with his best friends Oz and Danielle, Colt is now training at the secret Central Headquarters Against the Occult and Supernatural academy. But strange accidents seem to follow him. . . even with the security of the school grounds. What first seems random soon turns deadly. But who is targeting Colt?
As the alien invasions increase in frequency and force, C.H.A.O.S resources are taxed to the limit and they're forced to utilize the new recruits. In the midst of battle, Colt will discover some startling revelations . . . about himself, his friendship with Oz, and why he has been chosen to defeat this alien attack against earth.

Alienation

When I got approved for this book through Netgalley. At the time I didn't know it was a part two to a trilogy. However I didn't even find out it was a trilogy until I went to put my books on my iBooks in a kind of order by author. Then I found out it was book two. So as a true believer in starting with book one then going to two. I purchased book 1. With that said. I just finished this book two tonight and let me tell ya. 

Except for one thing that they talk about you would never know this is a book two. It has been one of the easiest books I've gotten through this year. It was a very easy read and I would rate it for ages 8 and up some of the things an 8 year old might not understand but all in all I believe they will both love the story and fall under the spell of some very nifty weapons and kick butt action. 

This book is deff for boys who love science fiction. Our main hero is Colt whom is a wonderful character who both gets to kick some alien butt as well as play with some way cool toys. His friends are loyal to a fault so much as they would stick by him through anything.  

I can't wait to read both book 1 which I now have. And book 3 when it comes out. I encourage everyone to go buy this book.
