Book Review: Dream

20654232

Title: Dream

Author: Kyra Selby

Genre: YA romance


Book Blurb: 
The last thing seventeen-year-old Ava Evans needed was boy trouble. Moving from the bustling New York City to a small town in Oklahoma, all Ava wanted was some peace. Not the glare of certain dark eyes. But this wasn’t just any typical teenage boy trouble. This was downright bizarre and though she would never admit it aloud, intriguing. 
And charming and popular and not too bad on the eyes. Yes, eighteen year-old Miles Greyson seemed to be your typical All-American boy, beloved by his many friends and the residents of the small town he lived in. And he got along with just about anyone and everyone. 
…Except Ava. Their first disastrous meeting ending in a bloody nose and a trip to the hospital leaves Ava thoroughly confused. Because Miles seemed to hate her even before all that. Upon first glance to be exact. 
Trying to navigate the nefarious world of high school with mean girls, new friends, and awkward unrequited crushes, Ava begins to slowly unravel the mystery that is Miles Greyson while doing her best not to get distracted by Miles himself. 
All the while Miles is unraveling her, leading them both to a startling revelation that changes everything. Impossible dreams, enchanting feelings, and the whisper of a magical wish..

Reviewer: Amanda

Review:

After they realize that they have mutual friends, the shock wears off and they become best friends, and are later inseparable.

Book Review: Dark Flame Rising


Title: Dark Flame Rising

Author: J. A. Pedersen

Genre: YA fantasy

Review:

Dark Flame Rising, written by J A Pedersen, is kind of like a modern fantasy book (urban fantasy?)  Keegan, the main character of the book, is quite the computer whiz so she's naturally surprised to find out her parents practiced the art of the Wisdom--a form of magic that involves working with the energy of the universe.  Keegan's parents died in a fire when she was young, so she has been raised by her grandmother (who happens to practice the art of fortune telling to make a living).  Throughout her entire life, she has moved around countless times--she stopped questioning her grandmother why they did so after not receiving any answers.  Oh, and one more thing about Keegan--she doesn't believe in magic. She's a sciencey kind of person.
