Was it good?
Good?No. Great? Yes!! this book took turns down paths I'd never gone down before. This book is very creative and was hard to put down for needed sleep. Henderson is an excellent writer and , she characterizes Scarlett in a very interesting way because there is honestly something about Scarlett that, though this sounds cliche is very different from other characters I've read about in the past. Henderson's creativity is shown even more with an extremely unexpected twist in the enf it leaves you anxious to read the next installment, Kisses & Lies which came out January 13th so i urge you to go and read both ASAP!
Deadly Little Secret-Laurie Faria Stolarz
What's It About?:
Camelia Hammond's life has quickly become a dark and scary roller coaster. After being saved from getting hit by a car careening out of control, by a mysterious boy who peculiarly touched her stomach then storms off, she's left with a feeling of awe and utter gratitude towards the boy.
When the boy ends up attending her school in the fall she is extremely delighted that she'll finally be able to thank him for saving her life; though the mystery boy who she's now learned is named Ben Carter, denies this event and claims he's never seen her in his life. This confuses Camelia and when they become lab partners it confuses her further when he accidentally touches her and she gets the same sensation she felt when she saved her life three months earlier.
It's after this that she finds herself oddly attracted to him and when weird and scary things start happening, she clings to him even more. Even when all signs point to him causing her the danger, it's him who saved her life yet again.
Was It Good?:
Beyond! This book is AH-MAY-ZING! Laurie Faria Stolarz is a godess!! This book hat me at the first word and the fact that i even put it down for anything is amazing. Stolarz is great at invoking emotion, i honestly got scared when Camelia did; it was like watching a horror movie and your screaming at the scream for the person to do something but they can't hear you. That's not something that comes easily for most people, especially with fear, but Stolarz has mastered it to a T. She deserves a standing ovation for this. After reading this i plan to go out and buy all of her books, including the sequel to Deadly Little Secret, Deadly Little Lies. And i urge everyone to do the same!
