OVERALL IMPRESSION: I went into this book not knowing anything about it. I didn't read the summary because I wanted to be surprised, but I had heard that it might have something to do with aliens, so I was intrigued. This book was really good and had me reading whenever I had free time to see what w...

Actual Rating: 2.5 starsI received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.The Taking is part of a genre I don't read quite so often: sci-fi. Sometimes I forget how cool sci-fi can be, with the aliens and secret agencies and other planets. Although it was refreshing t...

Books with aliens are few and far between (those that actually manage to pique my interest) and decent alien books that I've read? I could count them on one hand.

I gave this book four stars because even though the story kept my attention there was no resolution of finding out what happened to her and figuring out how to fix what happened to her. Even the plot was excellent and the character development did lack abit I still found it to be very enjoyable and ...

I really loved this book. The set-up sounded interesting -- a teenaged girl has an argument with her father and gets out of the car, wakes up in an alley, and finds out that five years have passed. She doesn't seem to have aged and everyone else has moved on with their lives. What I didn't real...

"What if the life you're living is not your own." First of all, that tagline makes no sense after reading the book. Perhaps it is in reference to the story later on, as this is a cliffhanger with a future book coming. A bit disappointed with this one, but still a decent read for YA. It has some i...

This was Tyler Wahl. Tyler, who looked far too much like his older brother—my seventeen-year-old boyfriend—in looks, in stature...and, most of all, in age. Tyler, who, the last time I’d seen him just the day before, had been only twelve years old. This is the story of a special (and different) gir...
