Halfway to the Grave
by Jeaniene Frost
goodreads summary-Flirting with the grave...
Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father--the one responsible for ruining her mother's life. Then she's captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unholy partnership.
In exchange for finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. She's amazed she doesn't end up as his dinner--are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn't have to be all bad. But before she can enjoy her new found status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. Now Cat will have to choose a side . . . and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.

Dead Beautiful
by Yvonne Woon
goodreads summary-On the morning of her sixteenth birthday, Renée Winters was still an ordinary girl. She spent her summers at the beach, had the perfect best friend, and had just started dating the cutest guy at school. No one she'd ever known had died. But all that changes when she finds her parents dead in the Redwood Forest, in what appears to be a strange double murder.
After the funeral Renée’s wealthy grandfather sends her to Gottfried Academy, a remote and mysterious boarding school in Maine, where she finds herself studying subjects like Philosophy, Latin, and the “Crude Sciences.”
It’s there that she meets Dante Berlin, a handsome and elusive boy to whom she feels inexplicably drawn. As they grow closer, unexplainable things begin to happen, but Renée can’t stop herself from falling in love. It’s only when she discovers a dark tragedy in Gottfried’s past that she begins to wonder if the Academy is everything it seems.
Little does she know, Dante is the one hiding a dangerous secret, one that has him fearing for her life.
Dead Beautiful is both a compelling romance and thought-provoking read, bringing shocking new meaning to life, death, love, and the nature of the soul.

Generation Dead
by Daniel Waters
goodreads summary-Phoebe Kendall is just your typical Goth girl with a crush. He’s strong and silent…and dead.
All over the country, a strange phenomenon is occurring. Some teenagers who die aren't staying dead. But when they come back to life, they are no longer the same. Feared and misunderstood, they are doing their best to blend into a society that doesn’t want them.
The administration at Oakvale High attempts to be more welcoming of the “differently biotic." But the students don’t want to take classes or eat in the cafeteria next to someone who isn’t breathing. And there are no laws that exist to protect the “living impaired” from the people who want them to disappear—for good.
When Phoebe falls for Tommy Williams, the leader of the dead kids, no one can believe it; not her best friend, Margi, and especially not her neighbor, Adam, the star of the football team. Adam has feelings for Phoebe that run much deeper than just friendship; he would do anything for her. But what if protecting Tommy is the one thing that would make her happy?

by Beth Fantaskey
[image error]
goodreads summary-Jill Jekel has always obeyed her parents rules;especially the one about never opening the mysterious, old box in her father's office. But when her dad is murdered, and her college savings disappear, she's tempted to peek inside, as the contents might be the key to a lucrative chemistry scholarship.
To improve her odds, Jill enlists the help of gorgeous, brooding Tristen Hyde, who has his own dark secrets locked away. As the team of Jekel and Hyde, they recreate experiments based on the classic novel, hoping not only to win a prize, but to save Tristen's sanity. Maybe his life. But Jill's accidental taste of a formula unleashes her darkest nature and compels her to risk everything, even Tristen's love just for the thrill of being . . . bad.

Maze Runner
by James Dashner
goodreads summary-Imagine waking up one day in total darkness, unsure of where you are and unable to remember anything about yourself except your first name. You're in a bizarre place devoid of adults called the Glade. The Glade is an enclosed structure with a jail, a graveyard, a slaughterhouse, living quarters, and gardens. And no way out. Outside the Glade is the Maze, and every day some of the kids -- the Runners -- venture into the labyrinth, trying to map the ever-changing pattern of walls in an attempt to find an exit from this hellish place. So far, no one has figured it out. And not all of the Runners return from their daily exertions, victims of the maniacal Grievers, part animal, part mechanical killing machines.
Thomas is the newest arrival to the Glade in this Truman-meets-Lord of the Flies tale. A motley crew of half a dozen kids is all he has to guide him in this strange world. As soon as he arrives, unusual things begin to happen, and the others grow suspicious of him. Though the Maze seems somehow familiar to Thomas, he's unable to make sense of the place, despite his extraordinary abilities as a Runner. What is this place, and does Thomas hold the key to finding a way out?
In The Maze Runner, Dashner has crafted a creative and engaging novel that's both mysterious and thought provoking.

Crossing Stones
by Helen Frost
goodreads summary-Maybe you won’t rock a cradle, Muriel.
Some women seem to prefer to rock the boat.
Eighteen-year-old Muriel Jorgensen lives on one side of Crabapple Creek. Her family’s closest friends, the Normans, live on the other. For as long as Muriel can remember, the families’ lives have been intertwined, connected by the crossing stones that span the water. But now that Frank Norman—who Muriel is just beginning to think might be more than a friend—has enlisted to fight in World War I and her brother, Ollie, has lied about his age to join him, the future is uncertain. As Muriel tends to things at home with the help of Frank’s sister, Emma, she becomes more and more fascinated by the women’s suffrage movement, but she is surrounded by people who advise her to keep her opinions to herself. How can she find a way to care for those she loves while still remaining true to who she is?
Written in beautifully structured verse, Crossing Stones captures nine months in the lives of two resilient families struggling to stay together and cross carefully, stone by stone, into a changing world.

Tunnels
by Roderick Gordon
Goodreads summary-14-year-old Will Burrows has little in common with his strange, dysfunctional family. In fact, the only bond he shares with his eccentric father is a passion for archaeological excavation. So when his dad mysteriously vanishes, Will is compelled to dig up the truth behind his disappearance. He unearths the unbelievable: a subterranean society that time forgot. "The Colony" has existed unchanged for a century, but it's no benign time capsule of a bygone era. Because the Colony is ruled by a merciless overclass, the Styx. Will must free his father--is he also about to ignite a revolution?

Have a beautiful 1st day of Summer, tomorrow.
Just bought Forbidden Craving last Saturday.
Loved the cover of Forbidden Craving. Have a great day.
That's great. I'm a native Charlottean, that may be a rarity...I've lived in the same house, all my life.

Hello to a fellow North Carolinian. Do you ever come to Charlotte?
Thank you much for answering my...question comment...on Veritas. I really didn't yet know enough about her, to know how to phrase my question.
Counting the days for Into to Fire. Now, I'll re-read the whole Night Prince series.
Thank you for friending me. I really love The Night Prince series. Also I read your story in The Bite Before Christmas, and enjoyed it.
Hi Jeaniene, thank you for accepting my friend request. I love, love, love Cat and Bones. Hated to see it end. Looking forward to October for Into the Fire...woo-hoo! V/r, Nancy
May your day be filled with blessings,Like the sun that lights the sky.
And may you always have the courage,
To spread your wings and fly.
May your troubles be less,
Your blessings be more
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door!
Blue be the Sky above you,
Soft be the Road below you,
Affection be the Breeze around you,
I pray all the Happiness surrounds you.
May love always ease your pain
And kindness be all you know
May you never have a reason to complain
And the sun follows you wherever you go.
May God give you the lasting reward,
For the beauty of your heart and soul;
Your thoughts and views speak for you,
In this world, you have a distinct role.
May you always have an Angel by your side
Someone there to catch you if you fall
Encouraging your dreams inspiring your happiness
Holding you hand and helping you through it all.
Somebody cares if you’re happy today,
If your heart is cheerful and light.
Somebody cares if you’re feeling good
and everything’s going just right.
And somebody hopes this message will show,
in a warm little heart-to-heart way,
That you’re thought of, remembered,
And happily wished for a wonder day!!
May God grant you always
A sunbeam to warm you
A moonbeam to charm you
A sheltering angel
So nothing can harm you.
Laughter to cheer you,
faithful friends near you
And when ever you pray
heaven to hear you.
Have a perfect morning
And an even lovelier day...
May happiness surround you
Always...not just for today!
May God reach down & love you
In His own special way!
May you know you're loved,
each & every day!!
May you see, from God's dear eyes,
the value of your worth!
May His love show you the most
precious things on this earth!!
I'm elated! fan-girl moment here!! Thanks for adding me =D

I adore your books and I'm sure you've heard this before, but I adore Cat and Bones. I just finished Under Her Skin and I can't tell you how much I loved 'Pack'. Is Pack the beginning of a new series? If not, could it become one? I love how you portrayed the pack and their mining town. I want more!
I am addicted to your books, I can't seem to stop reading them! You're definitely one of my new favorite author! :)
I just read Once Burned and never had I met a characters as captivating as Vlad & Leila. Just when I think your books can't get any better, I find I am wrong when I read the next one.
Thank you for the approval! I absolutely love your books and thank you for sharing your world with us. :)
Thank you so much for adding me as a friend! I want to let you know that I absolutely enjoy reading you books. Your stories have the ability to grip you tight and pull you in. Cat and Bones have these wild adventures that are full of action and excitement and oh man the passion! I am a life long fan.
Hi i just wanted to say i love and have read all your books. I was just wondering if there has been a publication date out yet for Up from the Grave? For some reason i had the date February 26 2013 but thats obviously wrong.
Hello :) Oh I'm also waiting for Ian's book ;)
Thanks for friending me! I absolutely love love love your books. I cannot get enough of them! They are wonderful and please keep writing them!
I hope you aren't creeped out by my worship but I wanted you to know how much I love you books! And I am not creepy/stalkery --- just in love with your books.
It's just.. I only want say something..Jeaniene, you'd do Ian's book? Please!
It's my fantasy, ah. It'd be like.. WOW.
Ian is only.. AMAZING, CHEEKY, SIMPLY A PERFECT CHARACTER. HE'S SO LOVELY, I LOVE HIM SO MUCH, JEANIENE!
And one book of him, it'd be.. woow.
So, I'll hope that you consider it. Please!
I enjoy the stories you weave in your Night Huntress world and this other story, Night's Darkest Embrace that is in another direction.Happy New Year and I wish your muse well!

Thank you for accepting my friend request. I loved in Halfway to the Grave where you mention the five cemeteries (one of them the Simms cemetery) forming a pentagram. I'm an Ohio University alumnus and knew exactly where you meant. When I was in college, I loved hearing the haunted Athens stories. I even when to Alden Library to look at maps to see the layout of the cemeteries. I'm such a nerd.
Thank you for adding me I love your books looking forward to reading more of your books. Keep writing and I will keep reading them. :)
Thanks for the add Jeaniene, looking forward to reading your books :)
