bad girls don't die by katie alender

I just started reading this book like 3 weeks ago. This girl named Alexis thought she led a typically dysfunctional high school existence. Dysfunctional like her parent' marriage;her doll crazy thirteen-year-old sister,Kasey;anti cheerleader attitude. When a family fight results in some tearful sisterly bonding ,Alexis realizes that her life is creeping from dysfunction into danger. Kasey is acting stranger than ever: her blue eyes go green sometimes; she uses old-fashioned language; and she even loses track of chunks of time ,claiming to know nothing about her strange behavior. Their house is changing, too. Doors opens and close by themselves,water boils on the unlit stove , and an unplugged air conditioner turns the house freezing cold, enough so that you can see your breath in. I can't wait too finish the book.

Then The Protectors books:Max,Fang,and Angel.
The School that I'm talking about is a crazy lab where they where made. This book is a fantasy that is a fun read for young adults.And if you like three teenagers and three younger kids with avian DNA then,you'll like this book.Max (she's the 14 year old leader of the flock) and the rest are pretty much always on the run.Or should I say on the fly?The book is told from Max's perspective.Well I strongly recommend you read this series.These pages fly (Or fly by because you'll want to keep reading).

It is about a teenager in high school who is having quite an adventure such as, getting attacked by zombies and befriending vampire like people, called dark hunters. As these weird events go on, Nick starts learning that he is not fully human. He starts learning that he is a destructive monster. I would recommend this book to anyone since it is never ending danger and just plain exciting.
