Gerard's:

I turned and Deveraux pulled up right alongside me, neat and smooth. A short moment later I was in her front passenger seat, with nothing between us except her holstered shotgun.

Jazz wouldn't let himself believe it. Not everyone has a killer inside. Not everyone is like me.

Karen's:

. . . all it takes is one moment for your entire world to turn upside down. One wrong decision, and it's over.

"I Hunt Killers" by Barry Lyga

I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga is about Jazz, the young son of Billy Dent, a serial killer.  Billy told his son all about his killings.  With Billy in prison, Jazz tries to help the cops catch a copy cat serial killer.  I enjoyed this book a lot.  Jazz is awesome and tells the story very well.  I'm not sure I would call this a page turner, but it moves along at a good pace.  Read and enjoy.

"Starters" by Lissa Price--Fun Read full of Surprises

Starters by Lissa Price takes place in the future but isn't too far out that it is unbelievable. After a war, people lived longer, 150 to 200 years old was common and Prime Destinations developed a way for old people to rent the body of a young person, usually a teen. I loved the idea of the old people getting a new body but keeping all their experience and knowledge. Callie decides to rent out her body for a big sum of money that would be enough to provide a home for her and her little brother who is also sickly. After three rentals, she'd get paid; however, the third rental didn't work quite right and she found herself in a terrible situation and is not sure who she can trust.

I enjoyed this book very much because of all the unexpected things that happen to Callie and the interesting concept. I thought it was a fun read and definitely recommend it! (Karen's review)

Starters by Lissa Price:  WOW!  You will meet Callie, a young girl whose parents are dead, and her 7-yr.-old brother, Tyler, is very sick.  Her only hope to get money is to rent her body out to old people to use.  She really doesn't want to do it but gives in to help her brother.  Everything goes fine at first, but then takes a turn for the worse!  I devoured this book in just two days; kept those pages turning to see what would happen next.  Can't wait for the second book to come out in December!

"What Comes Next" by John Katzenbach

What Comes Next by John Katzenbach is an outstanding and remarkable book!  Jennifer wants to escape her mom and her small town by running away, but her plan is foiled when a man and woman kidnap her off the street.  Jennifer is now number four and the kidnappers set up a website people can watch while they torture her!  There was one witness to the kidnapping, an old professor who is near death and speaks to his dead family members. 

I liked reading Jennifer's thoughts while going through this experience and the people watching it online.  This is an outstanding read that was very hard to put down!  I couldn't help but think to myself, "Would I be watching this if it were real?"  Would you?  What comes next is you reading this gripping novel--you will love the powerful ending!

"One Moment" by Kristina McBride

One Moment by Kristina McBride captures the intricacies of teen love and friendship and the heartache of an early death of a friend.  Maggie learns that "all it takes is one moment for your entire world to turn upside down.  One wrong decision, and it's over." (p. 116)  This story is about a close group of high school juniors who knew each other since kindergarten and promised never to rat each other out.  Even within their tight group though lies betrayal, jealousy and lies.  I enjoyed this book because of the mystery involving Joey's death and the truth finally coming out.  I really liked the ending!  If you like teen romance, I recommend this.
