*REVIEW* Through Glass By Rebecca Ethington

THROUGH GLASS
BY REBECCA ETHINGTON
Everyone remembered the day the sky went black. The day the sun was wiped from the sky. They remember the wind as it brought in the darkness; the way the earth shook and everything changed.

Everyone remembered the screams as the darkness ate those who were out in the open, those who had surrounded themselves by light, and those who made noise.

Everyone remembered the voice from the sky and the way food disappeared.

At least, that's what I hoped. I hoped that there was an 'everyone' that would remember because I am not sure how many are left, how many survived. Or if anyone did.
I hoped that I wasn't alone.
I remembered that day.
I remembered because it was the day I became alone.
It was the day that everything was perfect until the monsters took it away. Then the house went silent and the birds stopped singing. It was the day when everyone disappeared, everyone except the boy, the only person I have seen in two years.

The boy I talk to through the glass.

Through Glass is book one of a series.
It is a Clean New-Adult Paranormal, Dystopian, Romance with Creepy and Un-Dead Themes. 
Language: Low to None
Violence: Moderate
Sexual Content: Low to None

  Have you ever had a book that scares you so much that you have to put it down..hide the kindle and go into another room? Yeah that was me with Rebecca Ethington's Through Glass.This is the story about what happens when the sky goes black and everything changes.People disappear and the only food is the food "they" give you.As im writing this review I'm shaking my head trying to figure out how to gather my thoughts on Through Glass.Rebecca's writing transports you to when the sun went out and it puts you right there with Alexis and Cohen.Alexis is the heroine of the story and Cohen is her best friend/crush.He returns home from college and Alexis is finally able to admit her feelings to him..and you think everything is Hunky Dory and BAM.BAM BAM BAM. The sky darkens.They come.You will see how and if they survive in Through Glass.

   This is truly some amazing writing by Rebecca Ethington.I've never actually been afraid of a book like I was this one.I mean the I have to shut it off and run to hide under my covers.Rebecca writes extremely realistic and its in your face.Its emotional,its chilling..Its you want to reach into the book and pluck the characters to safety.Highly suggest reading Through Glass by Rebecca Ethington. I do suggest you keep your lights on while reading..and dont forget...DON'T EAT THE FOOD.

*COVER REVEAL*Seizing Fate By Heather Van Fleet

Seizing Fate (Predetermined #2)

Young adult Paranormal romance

Seizing Fate blurb:

And you thought Emmy’s life was a hot mess before…

Jack’s gone off to Arizona with his brother, but for how long? Emmy doesn’t have a clue. In his place, though, is Zachary. The whiny, miserable, alpha wolf–boy who is more than ready to take on the duty of her mate/boyfriend — if she’d let him, that is. But the last thing Emmy wants is to deal with a boy who believes that the world should fall solely at his feet whenever he demands it.

But hey, at least her step–douche is gone, and her life is back to an almost normal sense, right?

Wrong again, Emmy’s life will never again be normal…

With her Uncle Prick in town and her best friend acting as secretive as ever, Emmy finds new challenges to overcome — challenges that no seventeen–year–old girl should ever have to deal with. For one thing, what is up with her dream–liaison status anyway? What does it mean, really? And why does her little brother have to go through it too? And then there’s her mom. The lady is acting a tad bit odd, to put it nicely. After all these years, she finally wants to step up and be a parental figure? Heck no! Emmy’s definitely not copacetic with that idea.

But with the bad, there’s got to be some good out there for her somewhere, right?

Add in the wolves, witches, drama, and lots of kisses and you get Emmy the Extraordinaire, the girl with strawberry–colored hair, and a chip on her shoulder. She’s finally on her way to finding out what her life and her future both have in store for her, even if the road to getting there is nowhere near as easy as she hoped it would be. But Emmy is tough, and more than ready to take on life with her bare hands.

It’s just too bad she’s madly, desperately, insanely in love with a boy who insists on making her life both a miserable hell and utter perfection at the same time.

Excerpt:

Pressure, fire, wetness, tongues — single words were all I could think as our mouths battled. God, I’d never been kissed like this before. Ever, and if we stopped, I’d die a happy woman from his lips touching mine alone. He tugged his hand into the back of my hair, pulling my chin upwards, yanking me towards him. I clawed at his shirt, ready to rip it from his massive body. I pulled at his jacket first, lowering it over his shoulders until it fell to the floor. The buttons jingled against the tile, scattering over our feet. Damn, if he didn’t care about his signature black coat falling apart, then I had to wonder what else I could get away with.

*REVIEW*Sunshine(The Sunshine Series) By Nikki Rae

Sunshine(Sunshine Series Book 1)
By Nikki Rae

18 year old Sophie Jean is pretty good at acting normal. Sure, she’s not exactly happy, but happiness is nothing compared to being like everyone else. She can pretend she’s not allergic to the sun. She can hide what her ex-boyfriend did to her. She can cover up the scars she’s made for herself. Ignore anything. Forget anything. Then Myles enters her life, and he has more than a few secrets of his own. When accident after accident keeps happening to Sophie, she can’t help noticing that he’s everywhere. That he knows too much. That she’s remembering too much.

It’s one thing covering up her own dark past, but does she really need to worry about people finding out just how much Myles likes her? Or that despite how much she doesn’t want to repeat past mistakes, she kind of likes him back? Not to mention the fact that she now has to conceal that Myles drinks blood-that he says he’s about four hundred years old.

She almost forgot about that part.

But Sophie has no plans to ruin the normal life she has created for herself. She can deal with this little glitch, no problem. Even if word has gotten around to the wrong vampire about Sophie and Myles, even if she’s putting the few people she loves at risk. Suddenly, those who were monsters before are just people, and the monsters? They’re real. Now being a normal human being is the least of her problems. Now she has to stay alive.

REVIEW

I was given a Copy of Sunshine for an honest review.

  Sunshine tells the story of Sophie who honestly does not have the best life.Her mom is this evil mother who has no love for her.Her Ex-Boyfriend hurt her quite badly.She has a huge issue.She cannot go out into the sunlight.She is allergic to it.Myles is the new guy in school who just happens to be there for Sophie ever single time she needs help.Every time.
  I was entrenched in Sunshine.Did not want to put it down.I was intrigued by Sophie.Her affliction.It made me wonder just what made her different and why she had that.My heart broke for her knowing everything that she had to deal with at such a young age.Myles is a character who I wish I had been able to get to know him better.Know his feelings.He was hard to read sometimes.
  I feel the writing was good.I think there were times when the story felt a bit slow but then other times when it was perfectly paced.There was an incident in the story that had me confused but once I was able to sort it out everything was fine.It just could have been clearer.The Secondary Characters were great!I loved getting to know them.Especially Jade and Stevie.
  The main goal of a book is for it grab my attention,keep me there and pull me into its world.Sunshine Succeeded in doing just that.I was glued to my kindle until it died.I admit I almost cried when it died.Yes i know that rhymed. Nikki Rae's Debut Novel Sunshine Rocks and is a great start to Her Sunshine series!Great Job Nikki!

*COVER REVEAL* The Butterfly Migration By Mia Castile

Synopsis

The worst day of Lacey Baxter’s life was the day her parents announced their divorce and her boyfriend Chase Livingston went into a coma. Scratch that. The worst day of her life was two months later, when he woke up and didn’t recognize her. Now, as he pushes her away, she clings to the hope that each day will be the day he remembers how much they love each other. Turning to her new BFF Byron and his circle of friends, she does whatever she can to cope with the changes. She just wants to be numb and forget about everything.

The headaches, the panic attacks, the pressure to be this perfect boyfriend are incredibly hard for Chase to bear. He doesn’t love Lacey, or at least he doesn’t think he does. Still, he doesn’t understand this strong attraction to her, or the jealousy he feels over every guy that talks to her. Losing two years of his memory means strangers think they know him and he’s not sure where he fits in. Will his memories come back over time or all at once? Should he even wish for them?

Finding each other again could be harder than either of them thought, especially when everyone knows their business and has an opinion about it.

*REVIEW* Impossible By Komal Kant

Impossible By Komal Kant
Publication Date: October 24, 2012
 

Ashton Summers is on her way to becoming the most popular girl in school and nothing—or no one—is going to stand in her way. Especially not Luca Byron, her freak neighbor, with his tattoos, loud music, and distracting green eyes.

Luca Byron has three goals in life: get through high school with a low profile, make sure his garage band becomes something more than a hobby, and try to forget about his insufferable ex-best friend, Ashton, who he can’t get out of his mind.

The last thing Ashton and Luca want to do is rekindle their friendship, but when Ashton takes a tumble down the social ladder, Luca—with his new makeover—is the only one who can help her rise up again by pretending to be her boyfriend. At first, being together is unbearable and annoying, but things start to change as Ashton and Luca discover the real reasons they drifted apart seven years ago.

Now, keeping their hands off each other seems impossible.


This book is recommended for Mature Young Adult readers 17+ due to language and sexual content.

REVIEW

5 STARS

 

  Impossible,Was a book I read ironically right after I read Falling For Hadie.Which shows you that you do not need to read them in order.I will admit I had a hard time liking Ashton in the beginning.She was mean.She was cruel.I said self..there is no way possible that you can like her.Well I was wrong.Because I did end up liking her once she made some major changes.Luca and Ashton both grew up together but grew apart during the years due to tragedy and them running with different crowds.Ashton is a very popular girl,Your essential mean girl  and she is knocked down a peg and is pretty much a social leper now. Luca is her neighbor.He is your essential rocker and dresses like a rocker does.Eventually Ashton and Luca see eye to eye after quite a bit of fighting.Once they do its amazing.

   I have said it before and I will say it again.Komal Kant knows how to write.Reading her work is amazing.Its the Unless the house is on fire or the kids have an emergency then do not interrupt me good.I look forward to Komal's next books.Seriously I'm not sure what anyone is waiting for.Read this.Move it on up your To Be Read list.Do it!It is so worth it!Another job well done Komal.

  

*Review* Glass Girl By Laura Anderson Kurk

Glass Girl
By Laura Anderson Kurk
Published April 1st 2013

The ice cold fear I’d felt, not knowing if Wyatt was alive, pressed into the wall with other girls and surrounded by guys who were unspeakably brave, hit my body again in a wave. This was trauma—the gift that keeps on giving.

When Meg Kavanagh finds herself in the unthinkable role of grieving sister, she discovers some harsh truths—parents aren’t perfect, life’s not always sweet, and the dead don’t write back. Worried she might have caused Wyatt’s death, Meg folds her heart into a box. Her famous mom grieves by slowly disappearing, and her dad copes by moving them to a small town in Wyoming.

What she finds in Wyoming blindsides her.

His name is Henry, and he’s a rancher’s son who pulls Meg into his larger-than-life world and shows her that being sensitive is not an excuse to sit this one out. Meg wants to be brave like Henry because the best things in life—like falling in love and finding mercy—require uncommon courage. And Henry has a secret that changes everything.

From YA author Laura Anderson Kurk comes an unconventional and bittersweet story of first love and family ties. Fans of Deb Caletti and Sara Zarr will appreciate Kurk’s authentically imperfect characters and emotional storytelling.

With characters who feel real enough to walk the halls of your high school, Glass Girl sheds light on tenderness, the rush of first love, and the miracle of mercy.
-----------
REVIEW
5 STARS

Its rare to find a book that touches your soul but when you do..grab hold of the book and track down the author. Glass Girl is one of those books.From the first page until the last you are sucked into Meg and Henry's world.It touches on first love,death,grieving,grace and overcoming pain.Glass Girl takes you on the Journey of Meg and her family as they move to Wyoming.Meg is a junior and at school meet Henry who works on his fathers Ranch/Farm.I see alot of Sarah Dressen in Laura Anderson Kurk and that is a big Kudos to her.I honestly have nothing to critique about Glass Girl.Its simply a great read.I love the message and that there is a christian message in it.I have to hope many will take the time to read Glass Girl as its one of those books that after you read it you might smack yourself and go why did I wait so long to read it?Perfect Glass the Sequel to Glass Girl will be out June 2013.It will be in Henry's Point of View.Please Laura Anderson Kurk give yourself a pat on the back...do a happy dance..or even a squirrel dance.You Rock!!!

Exclusive Excerpt Never Before Seen before From Frosted Over By Amy Rachiele!!

 

Frosted Over By Amy Rachiele

Releases April 2013 

 My recent turmoil is nothing compared to the shocking state I am in now. I pull in an icy breath that scratches my throat where a scream sits waiting for my brain to allow it to escape. Droplets of moisture pool at the edges of my eyes. My nose stings with the bitter wind and the urge to cry. In my lifetime, I could never imagine such a horrible and grotesque fate as the one standing menacingly in front of me. My jumbled thoughts wonder why this wolf wants to attack me.
~ Libby

Without the forewarning of the noise and earth trembling like before, snow barrels into Cassie and rips her away. I can’t believe it, one second she was there reaching for me with her fur collar caressing her cheek, the next she was gone.
~Kyle

Freezing temperatures.
Blinding snow.
Trapped with people you barely know.

Libby, Allie, and Cassie go skiing every year. This year is different. They decide to try cross country skiing, but they get run off of the road. In the near accident, they meet Randy, Kyle, and Alex. Can their new friendships survive a hostile blizzard?

Young adult (YA) A Survival Romance.

Coming April 2013

 Exclusive Excerpt:

A survival novella

Randy never got a chance to answer me because the snow came and rained down on us from everywhere. Up and over the boulder, down the sides, and around to where we are crowded together. My eyes are squeezed firmly shut and tears leak out the sides. Randy’s grip is strained and tight, forcing the breath out of me.
“It’s okay. It’s okay,” Randy reassures me in my ear as the snow keeps coming.
The crashing and thudding echoes in the riot of the unnatural blizzard that surrounds us. The waves of snow continue on and on, violently.
When it appears to have stopped, I finally looked out at our buried surroundings. Luckily, the boulder had created a barrier. In the small area below it, we survived. The rock didn’t crush us, and the snow didn’t bury us.
I notice though that snow is still coming, thick and fluffy. The sky has become very dark, confusing daytime and evening.
“Is that residual from the avalanche?” I ask Randy with an unsteady voice.
“No, I think it’s starting to snow.” He peaks around the boulder checking out the area.
Fear from the avalanche is still lodged in my veins. I rub my hands over my arms hugging myself.
“Dirk told me they were expecting a bad snow to storm tonight.”
“Well,” Randy says looking at the sky. “It didn’t wait for tonight.”

While Cassie loves being in love, she's never really been in love, and neither has Legend.

                                                               By Amy Harmon

                                                       Publication Date :March 27 2013

Blue Echohawk doesn't know who she is. She doesn't know her real name or when she was born. Abandoned at two and raised by a drifter, she didn't attend school until she was ten years old. At nineteen, when most kids her age are attending college or moving on with life, she is just a senior in high school. With no mother, no father, no faith, and no future, Blue Echohawk is a difficult student, to say the least. Tough, hard and overtly sexy, she is the complete opposite of the young British teacher who decides he is up for the challenge, and takes the troublemaker under his wing.

This is the story of a nobody who becomes somebody. It is the story of an unlikely friendship, where hope fosters healing and redemption becomes love. But falling in love can be hard when you don't know who you are. Falling in love with someone who knows exactly who they are and exactly why they can't love you back might be impossible.

Selling Scarlett
      By Ella James 

        Expected Release Date is April 12th 2013

Scarlett DeVille doesn't belong at a party like this: one where the gowns cost more than her Camry and the cigars are worth more than her grad school textbooks. Dragged by her best friend to the home of a playboy bourbon heir, Scarlett is merely playing dress-up, rubbing elbows with the California elites that banished her troubled family years ago.

After ten years of nonstop debauchery, Hunter West has finally managed to screw himself. One night three months ago, Hunter was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and when something awful happened, he was too damned drunk to stop it. With the FBI on his tail for a crime didn't commit and a blackmailer in his bed, Hunter is in noose-deep; his hands are tied—behind his whip-sore back.

When Scarlett stumbles into Hunter's den of vices, she's a light in the darkness, a flame in the void. And, just like everything else he touches, Hunter mars her in a record time. To rectify the damage done, Scarlett needs money she doesn't have, and she's come up with a foolproof way to get it.

Follow Scarlett to the lush Nevada brothel where she'll auction her virginity and risk the only thing that's not for sale: her heart. The highest bidder is a familiar face, with wicked hands and the devil's mouth—and a secret so dark that it could cost her life.

This Love of Mine

By Amanda Bennett

Release Date April 18, 2013

Synopsis:

I needed an escape. An escape from my momma, a woman who cared more about herself than her own daughter. A woman who couldn't stand the sight of me since my father left. A boyfriend who was nothing but trouble. Trouble that I couldn't say no to.

Unfortunately, leaving them both would prove to be either the best decision I could ever make, or the biggest mistake of my life.

My plan was to escape to the one place I always felt safe. A place here life is simple and quiet, and a place where I could finish my senior year of high school unscathed. Abernathy, Texas was my second home, and my grandparents were the parents I aways wanted. There was no one around this one horse town to complicate my life any further, or at least that's what I thought. That was, until I met Madison Raine.

He held the power to turn my peaceful escape upside down and inside out with just one look. He was beautiful, in every sense of the word and with that beauty, came trouble. There were a million reasons why I should stay away from him, but none of them seemed to matter when I caught sight of those emerald green eyes. It was becoming clear that staying away from Madison would be harder than I had anticipated.

A past like mine never fully disappears, until you find yourself faced with the irreparable truth that sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands, consequences be damned.

Kayla James (KJ) was everything I never knew I wanted. This was the last summer I would be on the farm before I headed off to college, and meeting her was the last thing I expected. I didn't know what had brought her here, and I honestly didn't care. I had my own things to

deal with and a relationship wasn't one of them. Little did I know that this girl, would wind up being exactly what I needed in every way possible.

Life hasn't always been easy, and telling my grandparents that I was going to college in another state was going to be the death of me, but it was something I needed to do. I needed a life outside of Texas, one where no one knew who I was or what I had lost. Between baseball and my band, I thought I had it made.

All it took was one look into those baby blues and I was a goner. I ended up needing her like I needed air to breathe, and everything inside of me wanted to be with her regardless of the outcome. How do you choose between love and life, and convince the one person who trusts no one, to take a chance on you?

(This is book #1 of three in The Raine Series. It contains mature language and situations)

*REVIEW* If You Find Me By Emily Murdoch

If You Find Me By Emily Murdoch
Publication Date: March 26, 2013

There are some things you can’t leave behind…
A broken-down camper hidden deep in a national forest is the only home fifteen year-old Carey can remember. The trees keep guard over her threadbare existence, with the one bright spot being Carey’s younger sister, Jenessa, who depends on Carey for her very survival. All they have is each other, as their mentally ill mother comes and goes with greater frequency. Until that one fateful day their mother disappears for good, and two strangers arrive. Suddenly, the girls are taken from the woods and thrust into a bright and perplexing new world of high school, clothes and boys.

Now, Carey must face the truth of why her mother abducted her ten years ago, while haunted by a past that won’t let her go… a dark past that hides many a secret, including the reason Jenessa hasn’t spoken a word in over a year. Carey knows she must keep her sister close, and her secrets even closer, or risk watching her new life come crashing down.

I have been waiting for If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch for what felt like forever.Seriously.I considered going to her facebook page for a short while and begging for it to be released early.If You Find Me did NOT disappoint.In Fact it went above and beyond what I was expecting and then some.It is the Story of Carey and her younger sister Jenessa who are left in the woods by their mother.A social worker and their Father find them and bring them out into the world.Unfortunately living in the woods with a mother like Carey's is going to leave scars.They know nothing about the outside world and have some pretty bad emotional scarring.This is a MUST read.I literally sat down and did not want to be interrupted for anything while reading this.It is simply amazing.This WILL be on Le'BookSquirrels TOP 2013 Reads List at the End of the Year.Emily Murdoch,You are amazing and Give yourself a high five.I am definitely looking forward to your next work.I'm just hoping I don't have to wait to long to see it!

Blurb:

As if in slow motion, the world spun. The front fender of the truck slammed into us from behind, and everything lurched forward. Bags, arms, clothes, sailed by my head. The muffled sound of screams were lost somewhere in a tumultuous roar as the van hit a pothole, and we began to roll. Cold metal crushed in on me, and the splintering sound of gunshots echoed in my ears...

*Review* Saving June By Hannah Harrington

                                                             Saving June 
                                   Release Date:November 2011
                                                     (Cover is different on Amazon)
‘If she’d waited less than two weeks, she’d be June who died in June. But I guess my sister didn’t consider that.’

Harper Scott’s older sister has always been the perfect one — so when June takes her own life a week before her high school graduation, sixteen-year-old Harper is devastated. Everyone’s sorry, but no one can explain why.

When her divorcing parents decide to split her sister’s ashes into his-and-her urns, Harper takes matters into her own hands. She’ll steal the ashes and drive cross-country with her best friend, Laney, to the one place June always dreamed of going — California.

Enter Jake Tolan. He’s a boy with a bad attitude, a classic-rock obsession and nothing in common with Harper’s sister. But Jake had a connection with June, and when he insists on joining them, Harper’s just desperate enough to let him. With his alternately charming and infuriating demeanour and his belief that music can see you through anything, he might be exactly what she needs.

Except June wasn’t the only one hiding something. Jake’s keeping a secret that has the power to turn Harper’s life upside down — again.

REVIEW
5 STARS

   Hannah Harrington is a superb Author Saving June had me from the beginning until the very end.Saving June is the story of Harper Scott Who is trying to deal with the death of her older sister.Jake knew June and Harper has no idea how they knew each other.June always wanted to go to California so Harper,Jake and her friend Laney take her ashes on a road trip.Along the way they all do a bit of growing up and soul searching.
   I was pretty much blown away by Hannah's writing.This is my first book by her and W-O-W it did NOT disappoint.I was going through a small reading funk and Saving June pulled me out of it.I loved Jake and Harper.Kudo's on picking Harper's name for the main character as you do not hear it to often.Jake I imagined a young Adam Levine.This entire book is a winner.Read it.Love it.

It had been awhile since I have read a Werewolf Trilogy that grabbed me and kept me interested for so long.The Mayfair Moon is Book one in this series by J.A Redmerski.This is definitly not your normal shifter type book as the shifting is a bit different.I was enthralled with Adria and Isaac.Adria has to leave home to go to Maine to live with her Aunt and Uncle.Her sister follows as well but things that happened prior to them leaving affect Adria's sister pretty badly.Adria Meets The Mayfair family and finds out things are not always as they seem.Werewolf politics will be shown  and fights will be had.In addition to all that some pretty darn good Romance!I loved the Main Characters as well as the Secondary Characters.Definitly a book I would recommend to any that enjoy a good Paranormal/shifter type book.

*Author/Book Spotlight!*Witness By Maria Rachel Hooley

 

Author:Maria Rachel Hooley

Publicaton Date August 2012

         
 What happens when you witness the unthinkable?

For two years, sixteen-year-old Cee Cee Montgomery has had a crush on David Johnson, and she’s been waiting for him to notice her, and he does—at a party that Cee Cee wasn’t supposed to be at. But she is. She’s there when David is stabbed and no one calls for help. She’s one of the silent witnesses who bears the guilt of his death, and it’s tearing her apart. Not even Stacy Eddings, her best friend, can help her through it.

Stacy is a silent witness of a different sort. He’s been in love with Cee Cee since he met her, but she never saw past David, and while at first he doesn’t know she went to that party, he does realize that something is wrong, that sometimes, no matter how painful, the truth has to come out.

EXCERPT

"What have we here?" the creep asked.  Stepping closer, his eyes darted back and forth between David and me.

"Trouble, that's what you've got," David said, somehow managing to keep his voice even.  "This isn't your party or your crowd, so you might want to think about leaving."

"And miss all the fun?  I don't think so."  He smiled at me, and I shuddered.

Although David didn't look at me, I know he must have felt me shivering as he gently guided me to hide behind him so he was in between the thugs and me.  Desperate, I kept staring beyond them at the bonfire, wishing madly that someone would come over.  I didn't care who it was.  I wanted to feel others knew trouble was brewing.

"Expecting someone?" the Adams jock asked, forcing my attention. 

"Lots of friends up there.  I'm willing to bet before long a few of them will be coming down here."  David was still cool, but the tension in his hand belied what he didn't say.

The creep laughed, and his buddies joined in, the sound of it hard and rough in the night.  "I don't think so, quarterback.  They're too busy getting drunk to worry about you two lovebirds." 

He sauntered around slightly to get a better look at me.  "You do remember me, right, chica?  I'm the guy you dissed earlier."

David shifted, making it harder to get close to me.  "Leave her out of it--and get the hell out of here."  His voice was cold, sounding of fury, but even I knew the odds weren't good.  The music was still blaring, and no one else was around.

"What did you say to me?"  The creep stepped closer, and that was when everything went south.

Beth suddenly appeared in the darkness, close enough to see trouble might be at hand, but not sure.  "Cee, is that you?"

"Get Scott!" David yelled as two of the others moved closer, one of them grabbing him.

The creep laughed, stepping closer to David's back.  I didn't understand what was happening, not until David made a sort of grunting sound, and I felt him tense several times.

"David?" I whispered.  He looked at me, his eyes confused, and I didn't understand, not until I saw a knife in the Hispanic  thug's hands, dark with blood.

"We're even now," the creep said, stepping toward me as David fell, his hand releasing mine.

David blinked two or three times as he staggered to his knees, wobbling unevenly.  His mouth opened as he grabbed his side, lifting his hand to find it drenched in blood.

"Cee?" he whispered, reaching.

I wanted to help him, but my body wouldn't move.  It was like the whole world had suddenly shifted into low gear.  In the distance, there was silence now.  David's lips kept moving, but I couldn't tell what he was saying.  He managed to grab my wrist with one bloody hand, smearing it all over me.

The creep was pointing at the blood running down David's side.  "It's beautiful.  You want some?"  He waved the stained blade at me.

In terror, I screamed and ran backwards almost falling.  He was laughing now; they all were.  It sounded so loud, and the world was tilting at funhouse angles, threatening to capsize with me in it.  He lunged at me, and I took off, afraid of what would happen next.

I couldn't see where I was going or if anyone followed.  I ran and kept running as the world turned to screams, probably most of them mine.  Ahead, I saw the sanctuary of trees, and I fled there.  My feet stumbled over raised tree roots, and I tripped, slamming my head against one of them as I hit the ground. 

Lying there, I saw the others converging where I'd left David, and all I could think was, somebody help him.  Somebody help me.  And don't let the others find me.

Then the blackness swept me away.

Le'BookSquirrel's Review

5 STARS

   This is the story of what can go wrong and happen if someone is hurt and everyone knows but no one helps. Cee Cee has a Crush on David and sneaks away to a party where something horrible happens to David.Cee Cee saw what happened but due to certain circumstances did not say anything.No one who was at the party said anything.
   I have always,and I mean ALWAYS said that the sign of an amazing Author will make their book seem way to short and that it ends way to soon.Maria Hooley has such amazing talent that I felt Witness was way to short!(It wasn't) But I did not want it to end.There are books that just pull you in and you look up from reading and realize hours have passed,but you were unaware since you were so deeply enchanted by what you are reading.I could have kept reading on about Cee Cee and Stacy(Stacy is Cee Cee's Best friend,Who is a guy).I felt for Cee Cee and what she was someone I could Commiserate with what she was going through.Overall I absolutely adored Witness.I strongly suggest it to all my YA lovers.It is one you definitely DO NOT want to miss!




Thank you Maria for being a part of This Author/Blog Spotlight!It has been an honor.Everyone go and Read Witness you will not be disappointed!Maria is simply amazing!
