"Lullaby" by Amanda Hocking

Lullaby by Amanda Hocking is the second book in the Watersong series.  This just continues the fun fantasy series about Gemma, a teen girl who becomes a mermaid.  In this book she finds out she made a big mistake and seeks to find a way to get back to normal and protect those she loves.

Overall, this is an entertaining read with interesting action near the end.  This book left me with some loose ends and questions that I hope get answered in the next book, Tidal.  I look forward to reading it to find out.   The first book was a very fun read, Wake.

"The Unlikely Hero of Room 13B" by Teresa Toten

In The Unlikely Hero of Room 13B by Teresa Toten, Adam Spencer Ross, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, has problems.  His parents are divorced, his mom has a stalker, his brother is a pain and now for the first time he has a major crush on a girl.

This book had me from page 1 because Adam is a great character and so is his love interest.  It is so fun to see their relationship grow.  I also enjoyed the other story lines and those characters too.  I LOVED this book--my best of this month so far!  I highly recommend it!

"All the Rage" by Courtney Summers - Better Than Expected!

All the Rage by Courtney Summers is told by Romy, a young teen girl who was attacked by a boy who was well known in her town and well liked so no one believed her.  She goes to a party and has no recollection of anything the next day, but a close friend of hers is missing.  Does she know something about this?  If so, will anyone believe her?

I liked this better than I thought I would.  Give it a try, you might be pleasantly surprised too!

Teaser Tuesday: Five Today!

Gerard's:
  
When I pull my hands out, they're covered in blood.  For a second I think it's mine.  But it's not mine.

Last night I spent some time sharpening the broken plastic fork.  I only had my fingernails and teeth to work with, but I think I did a pretty good job.

For her he would master his most troublesome rituals and offer up what was left of his sanity.
"Greetings, Robyn, and welcome!" said Dr. Chuck Mutinda, nodding first at her and then into a raggedy file folder.

Karen's: 

"This is just how my life goes," Alex said.  "I have enough trouble dating girls, and now I have to figure out how to date a mermaid."

 From page 180 of Lullaby by Amanda Hocking.

I thought that was really smart.  Get all of us in one place so the aliens didn't have to waste a lot of ammunition.

From page 31 of The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of A Daily Rhythm. Anyone can play along, so I thought  I  would play for fun! Just pick two sentences from the book you are reading.
