I'm not exactly sure what we are supposed to put here, if we read the book, so I guess I'll just talk about it...
I read The Dark Divine and it was really good. I like the sort of books that mix fantasy or something abnormal with average teenage life. Books like, Meridian, Beautiful Creatures, Wings, and this one I all loved. In The Dark Divine there is a classic love plot, but it also mixes in action with werewolves. This was a good read for me because I like love stories, but this added a bit of suspense and adventure to the classic girl-falls-in-love-with-boy plot.
I read Incarceron.I thought it was very good and kept you interested the whole time. Definitely was a page turner. It had a difficult plot I thought and kept going back between the 2 different scenes with Claudia, and Finn. This really wasn't like any book that I've ever really read before. I don't understand how someone could have came up with this really great and different idea for this book! I loved it overall and recommend it to anyone that's in need of a good book!
I read The Dark Divine, also, and i thought it was very suspenseful book and it always kept you wondering why something was happening and what will happen next.At fist the book is very realistic fiction but then it turns into a fiction when Grace finds the secret to what Daniel was trying to stop. I loved this book and it is definitely one of my favorites. I would recommend this book to any on who likes love stories with a fiction twist.
I read the book The Dark Devine. This book is about a girl named Grace and her whole world gets turned upside down when an old friend, Daniel comes back. Where did he go? Why was he back? Those were some of the questions Grace thought. Jude forbidded her to talk to Daniel because before he disappeared he attacked her brother, Jude. Jude came home in his own blood that night. People think that Daniel is the monster people because weird things start to happen. Like someone mysteriously dies and Grace's little brother disappears.
I read the good thief. to tell the truth it wasn't my favorite because even in the biggest moments of her book i wasn't very thrilled or on the edge of my seat, not even a little bit. this is probably why it took me over a week to read this book but putting that aside i think the construction of character is amazing and definitely makes up for it.
I read "The Good Thief" by Hannah Tinti. This book was not the best I read, but I really loved it. The way the characters were shown caused me to love and hate them at the same time. This book made me bond with each person in the book, and that is what I liked the most about it.
I read "the dark divine" and I thought it was overall very good. Like blogblogblog said, this book was realistic fiction and turned to fantasy towards the middle. I thought the characters were very well developed and it always had me wondering. On the other hand, I thought that the plot and the story were similar to twilight
