*SPOILER ALERT*

+Uhmmm.. Back in 2015, I rated this book as 5 STARS! WTH?! Seriously? Maybe my mind is out of place at that time. LOL! 😂

+NOW, rereading this: Boring. Redundant. Hilda keeps on passing in and out. Too much romance. As if she doesn't really know who she really likes. Annoying. Duh, let's just focus on ghosts. PLEASE. Ewww.. *rollingeyes* 😒😂 2 stars for Caleb or The Malones. 🖤

+But I still want to finish this series. We'll see. Hope it WILL get better. Haha (cross fingers) 😉🙂

P.S.

BEEN FOOLED BY THE BOOK COVER AND SYNOPSIS. 😜

SYPNOSIS FROM GOODREADS :

At seventeen, Mattie Hathaway has survived her mother attempting to kill her, multiple foster homes, and a serial killer. Oh, and she sees ghosts on a regular basis too. You’d think Fate would give her a break right? Umm…nope, not Mattie.

Dan Richards is the only person in the entire world Mattie trusts, but then the boy goes and breaks her heart. Mattie does what she does best, she runs and lands herself slap in the middle of a haunted house full of ghosts turned vengeful that want Mattie to join their ranks. 

The only bright spot on all this? Eli Malone – the gorgeous boy with the beautiful aqua eyes that makes her feel things she’s never even imagined before. She’s not sure what to do with him, especially when Dan shows up glowering at him. 

She’ll figure Eli out if she can survive the house. The ghosts are bound and determined to kill her so she’ll be one of them. Now if she can just figure out how to survive them and the demon stalking her, she might be able to decide what to do about her feelings for Dan and Eli.

That is if she can survive the night in the house.

GENRE: Thriller, Suspense, Paranormal, YA, ROMANCE?! 😒😁

+Rereading this, because the 5th installment is out. Excited to read the whole series! 😉

+Recommended to those people who love to be scared by ghost stories! 😊

SYPNOSIS FROM GOODREADS :

Blossom lipstick: check 

Smokey eyes: check 

Skinny jeans: check

Dead kid in the mirror: check 

For sixteen-year-old Mattie Hathaway, this is her normal everyday routine. She’s been able to see ghosts since her mother tried to murder her when she was five years old. No way does she want anyone to know she can talk to spooks. Being a foster kid is hard enough without being labeled a freak too. 

Normally, she just ignores the ghosts and they go away. That is until she sees the ghost of her foster sister… Sally. 

Everyone thinks Sally’s just another runaway, but Mattie knows the truth—she’s dead. Murdered. Mattie feels like she has to help Sally, but she can’t do it alone. Against her better judgment, she teams up with a young policeman, Officer Dan, and together they set out to discover the real truth behind Sally’s disappearance. 

Only to find out she’s dealing with a much bigger problem, a serial killer, and she may be the next victim… 

Will Mattie be able to find out the truth before the killer finds her?

Piecing Me Together - Renée Watson

+First book from this awesome author! Definitely not the last! A MUST-READ! Highly recommended!!! 🌠🙃

Genre: Realistic fiction, YA, African American Interest

SYPNOSIS FROM GOODREADS :

A timely and powerful story about a teen girl from a poor neighborhood striving for success, from acclaimed author Renée Watson.

Jade believes she must get out of her neighborhood if she’s ever going to succeed. Her mother says she has to take every opportunity. She has. She accepted a scholarship to a mostly-white private school and even Saturday morning test prep opportunities. But some opportunities feel more demeaning than helpful. Like an invitation to join Women to Women, a mentorship program for “at-risk” girls. Except really, it’s for black girls. From “bad” neighborhoods.

But Jade doesn’t need support. And just because her mentor is black doesn’t mean she understands Jade. And maybe there are some things Jade could show these successful women about the real world and finding ways to make a real difference.

Friendships, race, privilege, identity—this compelling and thoughtful story explores the issues young women face.

+Couldn't care less rereading these awesome series yearly! *wink* Baaah! 😁

+A great book to own and/or read. I love Greek Mythology and UNCLE Rick Riordan manages to revive the mythology in a perfect way for kids while giving everything its own modern spin.

+Highly RECOMMENDED for all ages!

SYPNOSIS FROM GOODREADS :

Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse—Percy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him. When Percy's mom finds out, she knows it's time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place he'll be safe.

She sends Percy to Camp Half-Blood, a summer camp for demigods (on Long Island), where he learns that the father he never knew is Poseidon, God of the Sea. Soon a mystery unfolds and together with his friends—one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena—Percy sets out on a quest across the United States to reach the gates of the Underworld (located in a recording studio in Hollywood) and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods.
