Timepiece (Hourglass #2) by Myra McEntire
Published by Egmont USA
Published in June 2012

This is an amazing sequel to the first book, Hourglass. I completely loved the entire book from beginning to end, because the book was very well written, all the puzzle pieces fall into place, and the writing style of Myra McEntire is very elaborate and complex. What I absolutely loved about this book, it the concept that it is written from the perspective from a secondary character in the first book, Kaleb, and how his whole life also revolves around the whole hourglass problem. I enjoyed reading more this book than the first, so if you read the first book and liked it, you are absolutely going to enjoy reading this one. I really recommend people to read the first book, and continue on with the series.

Venom was a fantastic book from beginning to end. Venom takes place in the city of Venice, Italy. The book contains a murder mystery in historical Venice, romance, danger, historical background, and awesome characters. I really enjoyed reading the book, because the story always completely took different paths from what I thought, and the ending was completely unexpected. This book was a really good page turner, and although the book is long, it will keep you intrigued from beginning to end. I really recommend this book to everyone who enjoys mysteries with historical background. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Nevermore: The Final Maximum Ride Adventure by James Patterson
Published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Published in August 2012

I really enjoyed reading this book, because there was a lot of romance, loyalty, betrayal and butt-kicking fights. I also enjoyed this book a lot, because I got to get to know the characters in more depth, and this book was very descriptive with feelings, which made me understand these characters more than any of the other books in these series. I absolutely loved the book, and I think that this book was a very nice ending to the Maximum Ride series. Although I was a little disappointing that they didn't really get to save the world.... or that you are never told if they ever did, because the series was based on her saving the planet and the human population, and towards the end, they seem to be the only survivors.
