Book Two of Ur Summer Reading List 09/10
First , there was the craze of Vampires now the new and upcoming phenomenon is Fallen Angels. This brings me to Book TWO of the Summer Reading List - Hush,Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick.
Romance was not part of Nora Grey's plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how hard her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch comes along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Patch draws Nora to him against her better judgment. Paired up , with Patch in Science Class , they are given a project to get to know each other in and out. When a series of events start happening and Nora's frightened , she finds Patch is always there when she needs help and out of all her friends beside Vee , he knows more about Nora. During these events , Nora doesn't know who to trust and everytime she sees Patch , She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel. But little does Nora know , that what she has fallen into is a battle between Immortal and Fallen that has been going on since the early 1500's , and when choosing sides , one wrong move can be deadly.
This book has an awesome cover as well . I love books with amazing covers :)
Unfortunatley , most of the time Im a judge by the cover girl. :(

Witch and Wizard
Gabrielle Charbonnet and James Patterson
Everything is about to change. The government has seized control of every aspect of society, and now kids are disappearing. For 15 year-old Wisty and her older brother Whit, life turns upside-down when they are hauled out of bed one night, separated from their parents, and thrown into a secret compound for no apparent reason. It's clear that the new government will stop at nothing to suppress Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Being a Normal Teenager.
For the sister and brother, the chaos started when Whit's girlfriend, Celia, was spirited away in a black van, never to be seen or heard from again. Locked inside their cells, the two fear that they have been taken to the very same complex that swallowed Celia and realize that a daring escape is their only hope of survival.
While imprisoned together, Wisty and Whit start exhibiting strange abilities and powers they never knew they possessed. Their new talents lead them to believe that maybe there is a reason they were singled out. Can this newly minted witch and a wizard master their skills in time to save themselves, their parents--and maybe the world?
