oh. my. gods. by Tera Lynn Childs

A modern girl's comedic odyssey in a school filled with the descendants of Greek gods.

When Phoebe's mom returns from Greece with a new husband and moves them to an island in the Aegean, Phoebe's plans for her senior year and track season are ancient history. Now she must attend the uberexclusive academy, where admission depends on pedigree, namely, ancestry from Zeus, Hera, and other Greek gods. That's right, they're real, not myth, and their teen descendants are like the classical heroes—supersmart and superbeautiful with a few superpowers. And now they're on her track team! Armed only with her Nikes and the will to win, Phoebe races to find her place among the gods.

OH. MY. GODS. It was epic.

My Thoughts:


Characters - My favorite character is Troy because he always stuck with Nicole and Phoebe which means he is a true friend.

Plot - I believe that the plot was well laid outand it helped me understand what was going on.

Voice - There was some trouble with the voice, for me, such as understnding what the characters were trying to say.

Intensity - There was a lot of intensity in the book, a manin one and the romance parts. As you know I love romances. :D

Humor: Humor lost this time, but not by very much. Maybe like an eighth of an inch. There was a lot of humor in the romances too.


My Ratings:

Characters: 4.5/5
Plot: 4.5/5
Voice: 4/5
Intensity: 5/5
Humor: 3.5/5

Average: 3.7/5 -or- 18.5/25

Just One Wish by Janette Rallison

Seventeen-year-old Annika Truman knows about the power of positive thinking. With a little brother who has cancer, it's all she ever hears about. And in order to help Jeremy, she will go to the ends of the earth (or at least as far as Hollywood) to help him believe he can survive his upcoming surgery.

But Annika's plan to convince Jeremy that a magic genie will grant him any wish throws her a curveball when he unexpectedly wishes that his television idol would visit him. Annika suddenly finds herself in the desperate predicament of getting access to a hunky star actor and convincing him to come home with her. Piece of cake, right?

Janette Rallison's proven talent for laugh-out-loud humor, teen romance, and deep-hearted storytelling shines in a novel that will have readers laughing and crying at the same time.

My Thoughts:


Characters - Overall, the characters were fantastic, but Steven stuck out to me. Even though he was rich and a movie star, he still had to deal with family and normal people things (almost).

Plot - The plot was well desinged had little to no cliffhangers. It aslo helped to lay down the sittuation and Annikas feelings about what happens.

Voice - I really understood what the characters were trying to say, how they felt, and their thoughts on the sittuation.

Intensity - The was not back-to-back intensity, but there was an overall feeling of haste to do things.

Humor - Tons of humor. Humor definetly one this round.

Supernaturally by Kiersten White

Description:

Evie finally has the normal life she’s always longed for. But she’s shocked to discover that being ordinary can be . . . kind of boring. Just when Evie starts to long for her days at the International Paranormal Containment Agency, she’s given a chance to work for them again. Desperate for a break from all the normalcy, she agrees.

But as one disastrous mission leads to another, Evie starts to wonder if she made the right choice. And when Evie’s faerie ex-boyfriend Reth appears with devastating revelations about her past, she discovers that there’s a battle brewing between the faerie courts that could throw the whole supernatural world into chaos. The prize in question? Evie herself.

So much for normal.

Tazey is Evie's trusty tazer in her favorite color, pink. I sculpted it because it's my favorite weapon and it's synonimus with Evie.

Paranormalcy By Kirsten White

Weird as it is working for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, Evie’s always thought of herself as normal. Sure, her best friend is a mermaid, her ex-boyfriend is a faerie, she's falling for a shape-shifter, and she's the only person who can see through paranormals' glamours, but still. Normal.
Only now paranormals are dying, and Evie's dreams are filled with haunting voices and mysterious prophecies. She soon realizes that there may be a link between her abilities and the sudden rash of deaths. Not only that, but she may very well be at the center of a dark faerie prophecy promising destruction to all paranormal creatures.
So much for normal.

My thoughts:

Characters- I really got to know Evie and Lend throughout the book because Kirsten White  put their feelings and described them sooo well.

Plot- Well, I know I can say that it was utterly amazing because there were many great twists and turns.

Voice- The voice was so good that I could still hear the charcters thoughts and feelings after about two weeks after I read the book.

Intensity- There are only a few words to describe the intensity of this awesome book: awesome, epic, amazing, and on-the-edge-of-my-seat-gripping.

Humor- I could not stop rolling around laughing because Paranormalcy was muy muy funny.

Average- It was well written and epic.

Red Moon Rising by Peter Moore

Being only half-vamp in a high school like Carpathia Night makes you a whole loser. But Danny Gray manages to escape the worst of the specists at his school. Thanks to genetic treatments he had as an infant, most people assume Danny's other half is human. Which is a good thing.

Ever since the development of synthetic blood – SynHeme – vamps have become society’s elite, while wulves like his father work menial jobs and live in bad neighborhoods. Wulves are less than second class citizens; once a month they become inmates, forced to undergo their Change in dangerous government compounds.

For Danny, living with his vamp mother and going to a school with a nearly all-vamp student body, it’s best to pretend his wulf half doesn’t even exist. But lately Danny's been having some weird symptoms — fantastic night vision; a keener-than-usual sense of smell; and headaches, right around the full moon.

Even though it's easy to be in denial, it's hard to ignore evidence. There's only a month until the next full moon, and Danny's time is running out.

Peter Moore speaks to adolescents in a voice that will have them laughing, set in a world that will get them thinking.

This is my sculpture of a Red Moon. In Wulf form, Wulves see a Red Moon. Because Danny doesn't have much time he goes to see his dad, a Wulf, to see what is going on. As time goes on he catches the attention of a girl and must hide his secret from her even though he really want to. Not to mention the whole vamp part of his school is going to mock him for the rest of his life he still has to worry about whether or not he should tell his crush if he is part wulf.

The Romeo and Juliet Code by Phoebe Stone

Description:

Felicity's glamorous parents have a secret. When they leave her with distant relatives in Maine, Felicity hopes they won't leave her long. Her new Uncle Gideon hides things. Her Aunt Miami is star-crossed. And Derek, a kid her age, refuses to leave his room.

But Felicity needs Derek's help. Gideon is getting coded letters from Felicity's parents, and she's sure they're in trouble. Can Felicity crack the code, heal the family and save her parents, all while surviving her first crush? It's a tall order, but - like THE SECRET GARDEN'S Mary Lennox before her - Felicity's up for the challenge.

This is my sculpture of the letters that Uncle Gideon got in the mail from Felicity's Mother.
