Since she was a little girl, she has felt the echoes the dead leave behind in the world . . . and the imprints that attach to their killers. Violet has never considered her strange talent to be a gift; it mostly just led her to find dead birds her cat left for her. But now that a serial killer is terrorizing her small town, and the echoes of the local girls he's claimed haunt her daily, Violet realizes she might be the only person who can stop him. Despite his fierce protectiveness over her,...

I love dystopian novels, they're awesome. I love the idea that the future isn't definite, and though there are many stories about how the future is amazing, and better than now, I love how it could also turn out to be worse, even though I'd rather it actually did turn out to be awesome :L So, this week I chose Inside Out by Maria V. Snyder, which is about a girl called Trella who lives in a place called Inside, and she leads a revolution to try and make Inside a better place. It is such a good story and so unique, so I decided to make it this week's book of the week. =] Title: Inside Out Author: Maria V.

Title: The Iron King Author: Julie Kagawa Publication Date: January 2011 When I Read It: June 2010 Synopsis from Goodreads.com: Meghan Chase has a secret destiny—one she could never have imagined… Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan's life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six.

So, for the Book of the Week, I've decided I'm going to start choosing old books, that have been around for a while, as I feel that sometimes they get forgotten, unless they have sequels out. So, I've chosen Wondrous Strange by Lesley Livingston this week, because the last book in the series, Tempestuous, is coming out on the 21st December, which is in 2 weeks! =] WONDROUS STRANGE by Lesley Livingston Title: Wonrous Strange Author: Lesley Livingston Publication Date: Jan 2009 When I Read It: March 2009 Synopsis: 17 year-old Kelley Winslow doesn’t believe in Faeries. Not unless they’re the kind that you find in a theatre, spouting Shakespeare—the kind that Kelley so desperately wishes she could be: onstage, under lights, with a pair of sparkly wings strapped to her shoulders. But as the understudy in a two-bit, hopelessly off-off-Broadway production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, wishing is probably the closest she’s going to get to becoming a Faerie Queen. At l...
