Good book overall. Interesting characters in the book. Neat idea of limbo. You never really figure out why they are there though. Jumps from character to character. I didnt understand their limits on interacting with objects.

This is the third book in the series. I have enjoyed all of the books so far. I really liked getting to see more of Zelda and Scott’s relationship. We learn more of how Zelda feels about not being able to see ghosts. This was a pretty heavy book with all that goes on during it. I cried because I felt bad for Zelda and Scott. Overall a good series with an interesting theme.

Decisions and Possibilities (Notebook Mysteries #2)Decisions and Possibilities by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great mystery story. I liked following Emma’s story as she figured out her mystery. The historical parts of the book were interesting. Emma is quite feisty and ambitious for her time. I will have to go back and read the first book. This one did pretty good at filling readers in on what had happened before though.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a very interesting book. Imagine being able to change something you don’t like about yourself quickly and easily. The characters in this book attempt to do just this using chips that a doctor created. Is it worth the prices they pay though? This was an easy read and very thought provoking. As someone who struggles with weight I related to the character Ellen the most.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cute book with a great message! This book is a great way to teach children about extinction and how they can help. I liked that it was written from the bird’s perspective. This would be a good book for lower elementary students to get them to help animals. Teachers could include this book in their science units. The little song the birds sang was adorable and kids would love it.

Great second part to a fun story. Much like the first part I really enjoyed the humor in this story. The characters are fun and witty. Lillie feels like she belongs with the Zayeds in this book even more than in the fist book. The book was a quick read and a fantastic adventure. I hope more parts of this story are written. I’d live to see more of Lillie and the Zayads.

Sleeping Angel (Soul Connection, #2)Sleeping Angel by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sleeping Angel is a paranormal romance that puts a unique spin on seeing ghosts. Scott from the first book is more of a minor character than he was in the first book but he still plays an important part. Angel and Logan are the main characters in this book. Angel and Logan go through a love-hate relationship throughout the story. The book is interesting in its paranormal aspects while also having some heart-wrenching moments when it comes to Logan’s Sister. There were many twists and turns throughout the story that kept me invested and intrigued while reading

Cursed Whispers (Broderick Coven, #3)Cursed Whispers by A.J. Renee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cursed whispers is a really good book about witches and werewolves. This is the 1st book i’ve read in the series but I didn’t feel lost because it filled in the background pretty well. I will definitely have to go back and read the 1st two books in the series. The witches in this story all have unique powers like Max being able to speak to animals. The love Max shows for Claudia and her daughter right after meeting them is really sweet. The book was entertaining and had a lot of details that made the characters more realistic.

Southland Academy for Supernatural YouthSouthland Academy for Supernatural Youth by Sandra Tentler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Southland Academy is a whimsical and fun middle grade book. The different and creative characters make the book funny and interesting. The supernatural characters include the more main stream (witch and werewolf) along with the not so usual (ferret shifter). The characters become fast friends at the supernatural youth boarding school they are sent to and quickly start solving a mystery together. This book is a pretty fast read and is enjoyable. Boys and girls both have relatable characters to choose from and will find the book entertaining.
