Violet Eyes by Justin Saucier

Violet Eyes Book Review 

Author: Nicole Luiken

By Justin Saucier

Violet Eyes is so far a good book because I can’t say I have read the whole thing because I have not. This book is about a character named Angel who has violet eyes, and she is different from everyone else. She finds another person named Michael who also has violet eyes. Angel always has bad times with Mike and does not like Mike because he was being rude and he took angel while she was by the pool side, picked her up and threw her in the pool. Angel tries to fake her drowning which then causes Mike to fake a mouth to mouth resuscitation. Instead he kisses her but it just looks like he was saving her. Then when Angel tries to tell everyone Mike wasn’t saving her everyone didn’t know what really happened so they just blamed Angel even more for saying lies.

That was just a little bit of this good book. Anyone who likes reading but not long books should definitely read this book. It gets very interesting later on so don’t turn it down after reading only one chapter. Again, this book is so far a great read and I recommend reading it.

Runaway Devil by Gabbie

Runaway Devil.

Runaway Devil was a very suspenseful and chilling book. This book Runaway Devil was written by Sherri Zickefoose and Robert Remington. This book got to me because I could never think of harming my family like that in any way shape or form, let alone date a 23 year old man! That makes me sick! All her parents were trying to do was keep her safe and keep her out of trouble. I found this book to be a very intriguing book and a one you cannot put down. It starts off as a happy suburban family in the city of Medicine Hat then turns into a gruesome, horrific and heart wrenching story of 12 year old Jasmine Richardson whose forbidden love with 23 year Jeremy Steinke drove her to murder her family consisting of her parents Debra and Mark, and her 8 year old brother Jacob. This book was one of the most shocking and best books I’ve read in years and I read it over a million times. No matter how many times you read this book, it’s always going to get you.

Harry Potter: the Half Blood Prince by Jon Latimer

CTS 9 Book review
Harry Potter 6- The Half Blood Prince
Author: J.K. Rowling
By: Jon Latimer

The book I read and am doing my book review on is H.P 6 The half Blood Prince. This is one of my favorite books, along with the entire other Harry Potter series. They are a great series and I feel that everyone should read them, regardless of age. The series if you don’t know, is about a boy who discovers he’s is a wizard when he’s 11, and that his parents were killed by the darkest wizard of their time. He then goes on a 7 year journey with his friends Ron and Hermione at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This book takes place in their 6th year, and in this year, Harry finds an old potions book whose owner is unknown. Throughout the year, he gains helpful advice, useful tips, and new spells from the book, coming to rely on it. And meanwhile he and Dumbledore try and uncover the secrets of immortality and the horcruxes. This and many more things happen, but you’ll need to read the book if you want to know all of them. This book is great for any ages, old or little. It mixes reality and fantasy so well you’d actually think it all happened. If you haven’t read it yet I recommend you go out and pick it up from your library. Now.

A Monster Calls -- Michelle Bien

12:07. Seven minutes past midnight. That was when the monster would come to Conor’s backyard. The monster was so big the house groaned when he leaned on it. But the monster was nothing compared to the nightmares Conor dealt with while he slept. And nothing compared to the terrible truth that was happening in Conor’s home, or the relentless bullying at school. But the monster wasn’t expecting Conor to not be frightened. He narrowed his eyes. You will be, it said. Before the end.

The author writes with an emotional truth that makes you feel upset, you hurt for Conor, and grieve with him. You try to figure out why it is so hard for Conor to sort out what is real, and what is not. Every chapter ends with a cliff hanger.

The book is illustrated with dark, spooky images. The illustrator used everything from beetles to breadboards to create interesting marks and textures.

I loved reading this book, and I hope you do, too.
