Main Characters: Elena, Stefan, Damon
Setting: Fells Church
Book Length: 512 Pages

I read this because of the show, which is my favorite may i add, but almost nothing is the same! If you want spoilers for the show, this book does not have them! But some really good books, with some HUGE plot-twists! I was going to give 4 stars for no spoiler disappointment but the books were too good to only be 4 stars! :p

One day, he goes over to her house to deliver the homework assignment and a friendship begins to blossom. He even turns down a ride in his dream car to go talk to her.

This book was short and sweet but not epic which a lot of the books I read are.

No Passengers Beyond This Point


Title: No Passengers Beyond This Point
Author: Gennifer Choldenko
Main Characters: Finn, Mouse, and India
Setting: Falling Bird
Book Length: 241 Pages
Summary: Finn, India and Mouse's mom is sending them to live with their Uncle Ron in Colorado. Since they live in California this will be a big change. When the plane lands they realize they are definitely not in Colorado. They are in a place called Falling Bird, where people come, but never leave.

This book was not as lengthy as some books I read, but it left you on a cliffhanger, asking yourself, "What happened to the kids?" As you will learn I HATE CLIFFHANGERS! This story, cliffhanger aside, was good, not great, but good. Not my favorite, not even in my Top 10.
