An Angel Torched My Homework and Other Lies by Miche Sipes

Synopsis 

Carrie Philips just wants her junior year at Clement Academy to go smoothly. Sure, it’s the first high school in the nation to integrate Norms like her with the Differents. But the Diffs are just typical teenagers with “tiny” genetic anomalies. They’re not really vampires or werewolves or angels or zombies like you see in old movies. The Diffs just have special dietary needs and some unusual abilities. They’re certainly not dangerous or anything—at least that’s what Carrie has always believed, since her dad is a doctor of Different medicine.

But when several of her fellow students are mysteriously assaulted, cracks form in Carrie’s worldview. Cracks she tries to ignore while defending her friends from anti-Diff backlash and solving the mystery of who’s really behind the attacks. Meanwhile, she’s distracted by two criminally cute guys who both seem to like her (and hate each other). Then Carrie uncovers a bombshell that could forever change how Norms and Diffs see each other. So much for a quiet school year.

"What happens when you combine vampires, angels, werewolves and zombies with normal humans? Supernatural insanity! Miche Sipes has created a clever world, filled with lovable characters, unexpected plot twists and lots of humor. I loved this book. 5 stars!" --Lynda Hilburn, author of the Kismet Knight, Vampire Psychologist series

"A refreshing, hilarious blend of every paranormal creature under the sun (or moon), heavy on the fun and light on the angst!" -- Helen Keeble, author of Fang Girl and No Angel

DNF 37%
I was so excited about this book when I first got approved for it on Netgalley, but it was actually quite a disappointment. Most of the time I had no clue what was going on. I see this book as appealing to some and confusing to others. If you are interested in this book and happen to see my review, do not let that discourage you from attempting to read this book. You may find yourself falling in love with it or you might find yourself hating it.

Summary from Goodreads:

The best place to hide is in a lie…

I could never fit in to the life my parents demanded. By the time I was thirteen, it was too much. I ran away to New York City…and found a nightmare that lasted three years. A nightmare that began and ended with a pimp named Luis. Now I am Dirty Anna. Broken, like everything inside me has gone bad.

Except that for the first time, I have a chance to start over. Not just with my parents but at school. Still, the rumors follow me everywhere. Down the hall. In classes. And the only hope I can see is in the wide, brightly lit smile of Jackson, the boy next door. So I lie to him. I lie to protect him from my past. I lie so that I don’t have to be The Girl Who Went Bad.

The only problem is that someone in my school knows about New York.

Someone knows who I really am.

And it’s just a matter of time before the real Anna is exposed…

Paint by Jennifer Dance

It's the late 1800s. A Lakota boy finds an orphaned mustang foal and brings her back to his family's camp. Naming her Paint for her black-and-white markings, boy and horse soon become inseparable. Together they learn to hunt buffalo, their fear of the massive beasts tempered by a growing trust in each other.

When the U.S. Cavalry attacks the camp, the pair is forced onto separate paths. Paint's fate becomes entwined with that of settlers, who bring irreversible change to the grassland, setting the stage for environmental disaster. Bought and sold several times, Paint finally finds a home with English pioneers on the Canadian Prairie.

With a great dust storm looming on the horizon, man and horse will need to work together if they hope to survive.

To be perfectly honest, I was not excited about starting this book after reading the blurb. It just seemed like it wasn't my type. The book was slow to start, but as it progressedband the story developed, I began to fall in love with Paint. The author was able to successfully portray the emotions of Paint and Rider alike. As Paint passed from owner to owner, I felt the heartache of those that had her within their grasps. I feel that this would be a wonderful book to read to a child, but maybe not for them to read by themselves. The story captivates the tale of The White Man and the horrors they brought to the native tribes everywhere in Pioneer America. As well as this, it told the story of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl that doomed many American families. All in all, it might not be a book for everyone, but it is definitely worth a read.  I give it a 4/5 stars.

Pop star Abby Murphy has fame and fortune and handsome boyfriend and guitarist, Sean. That changes the night she finds him in the arms of another woman. But Sean won't accept the breakup, and she soon finds out he's working with her mother, who's also her manager, to keep him in her good graces.

As Sean ratchets up his threats against her, Abby turns to her bodyguard, Danny Nucci, who will do everything in his power to keep her safe.

But when Abby realizes her feelings for Danny run much deeper than she'd like, she pushes him away as much to keep her own independence as to protect him from Sean's machinations.

When Abby finally finds the strength to confront all that is wrong with her life, she seeks refuge with Danny, but is it too late? Has she pushed him away one too many times for him to trust her now? Or can he put his own demons aside to help repair them both?

Identity (Eyes Wide Open #1) by Ted Dekker

Who am I?

My name is Christy Snow. I'm seventeen and I'm about to die.

I'm buried in a coffin under tons of concrete. No one knows where I am. My heart sounds like a monster with clobber feet, running straight toward me. I'm lying on my back, soaked with sweat from the hair on my head to the soles of my feet. My hands and feet won't stop shaking.

Some will say that I m not really here. Some will say I'm delusional. Some will say that I don t even exist. But who are they? I'm the one buried in a grave.

My name is Christy Snow. I'm seventeen. I'm about to die.

So who are you?

To start off, I'd like to just say that this book was a rollercoaster of emotions. One minute I was scared, the next I was mesmerized. Just up and down and up and down and I want more! This book is a part of a series and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I don't know how I could've waited so long to read this. It really is wonderfully written. 

The only thing that I'm not really up to par with is the supernatural aspect of it. Some of the things in the book make it seem that there is supernatural elements within it and others make it seem more like human error. Other than that, I enjoyed this book and would definitely continue reading further into the series. I give this book a 5/5 stars. 

The Accidental Hero by Joshua Graham

A ruthless hitman confronts his destiny in a startling tale of redemption.

I believe I have said this before, but I will say it again; I am not religious. However, I really like this story. It was a harrowing tale of a man who has wronged many times and finds it in himself to make himself a better person. By doing this, he also made the world a much better place. A wonderful story, from beginning to end. I give it a 4/5.
