Young Adult Books with a Supernatural Twist ^0^

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer is the sequel to Twilight! So don't read it unless you've read Twilight! Even though it's a sequel it's almost as good as the first! I really love the last couples of chapters in this book. Their probably my favorite part (so far) in the whole Twilight Series! If you loved Twilight don't be afraid to read the sequel it's really good! ^_^
Rating- 4.4/5
Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer is the third book in the Twilight series about Bella and Edward! ^^ Coming out August 7, 2007!
Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz is another book about vampires! But, this time the story is about a group of teenagers in Manhattan and the main girls are also vampires. (Unlike Twilight where the boy is a vampire and the girl is an regular girl). Even though the teens in this book are rich and attend a private high school the author is able to create loveable and realistic characters! I would recommend this book to vampire lovers and Melissa de la Cruz fans! ^^
Rating- 4.2/5
Masquerade by Melissa de la Cruz is the second book in the Blue Bloods series! As you can tell by the title their is a masked ball! (I love masks!) ^^ You learn more about the Blue Blood vampires and learn some more about some of the character's past! It's just as good as the first! This book leaves you wanting to read the third one! (which isn't coming out until sometime in 2008). >_<
Rating- 4.1/5
A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray is the beginning of her amazing trilogy! The book is about four girls named Gemma, Pippa, Ann and Felicity! (though it's mainly about Gemma) The story takes place in 18th century England and contains many mysteriouss that leave you wanting to continue reading even though it's three o'clock in the morning! As soon as I finnish the first book and went out and brought the second! I love Gemma, Pippa and Felicity! (though I didn't like Ann that much... I hope she changes or grows alittle it in the next two books) But, if you love magic and 18th century England read this trilogy!
Rating- 4.5/5

Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld is a book about a high school girl named Lee who wins a scholarship to attend the prestigious Adult school! The book starts from Lee's freshmen year all the way to her graduation from highschool! It's a good book, but it's very long and the main girl started to annoy and bored me about halfway through the book >_< But, if you like reading books about an outsider going through all four years of highschool then you should read this book!
Rating- 3.5/5
