Book Review : Devilish by Maureen Johsnon
Synopsis : The only thing that makes St. Teresa’s Preparatory School for Girls bearable for Jane is her best friend Ally. But when Ally changes into a whole different person literally overnight the fall of their senior year, Jane’s suddenly alone—and very confused.
Turns out, Ally has sold her soul in exchange for popularity—to a devil masquerading as a sophomore at St. Teresa’s! Now it’s up to Jane to put it all on the line to save her friend from this ponytail-wearing, cupcakenibbling demon . . . without losing her own soul in the process. . .
I became a fan of Maureen Johnson ever since she made this video to teen writers asking her how to get published.

Book Review : Dearly Departed
“Vampires are just zombies with good PR” 
– Dearly, Departed
Synopsis : Nora Dearly is far more interested in military history and her country’s political unrest than in tea parties and debutante balls. But after her beloved parents die, Nora is left at the mercy of her domineering aunt, a social-climbing spendthrift who has squandered the family fortune and now plans to marry her niece off for money. For Nora, no fate could be more horrible—until she’s nearly kidnapped by an army of walking corpses. . . Catapulted from her world of drawing-room civility, she’s suddenly gunning down ravenous zombies alongside mysterious black-clad commandos and confronting “The Laz,” a fatal virus that raises the dead—and hell along with them.

Bout of Books 2.0 : Spine Poem
So, Bout of Books . . . it started off good and then I took a steep downward fall. I’ve done very little reading the last few days. However, after I make this post I am picking up Clockwork Angel and finishing it !
For a Bout of Books challenge from Actin’ Up With Books you have to make a poem using book spines. I am not the biggest poetry fan, but here is my try. *snaps fingers rhythmically*
Wake, beautiful creatures !
Before I die
The road, downright dangerous
Looking for Alaska
I now realize I should flip Look For Alaska and Downright Dangerous. Oh, well.
Book Review : The Next Door Boys
“When you’re no longer afraid of death, there are a lot of things you’re not afraid of anymore”
– Jolene B. Perry, The Next Door Boys
I received Jolene B. Perry’s Next Door Boys from NetGalley. I choose it because the name jumped out at me and the cover art reminded me of a Sarah Dessen novel. Within a few minutes of reading the book, I realized this is a LDS novel. Something I didn’t quite expect
