What kind of Alternate Universe is This!

          Hey Guys! I almost completely forgot about this book! I don't know why.... I just ordered a whole bunch of books! Seeing as we are going to get tons of snow, I don't have a clue when they will show up. Which is upsetting because I might be stuck in my house and unable to go to the library for a bit. I guess this would be a good time for a read-a-thon, or something like that.....Well before I go off topic an more, ON TO THE REVIEW!

              The Lazarus Machine (Tweed & Nightingale Adventures) by Paul Crilley
           It's 1895, Tweed and his father are up to their usual. Swindling people for their own good but also passing it off as helpful to the people. During their latest "séance" Tweeds father gets kidnapped by people in gas masks. He assumes the leader is Moriarty, who people think survived the fall over Reichenbach Falls with Sherlock Holmes. Tweed isn't the only one who is looking for their parent, Nightingale  has been looking for over a year for her mother. She knows that Moriarty took her, she just doesn't know where. By pure luck Tweed and Nightingale team up to get to the bottom of this mystery. Will they survive Moriarty's wrath? Or will they die by the hands of him or his lackey's?

        I rate this book a 5/5 stars. Ok, I must admit this was the strangest steampunk book I have ever read. I guess that's why it was such a good read. I also thought that the multiple twists it had kept it interesting. I can't wait to read the next book! Spoilers: It looks like they go to Egypt! Ok it's not that big of a spoiler because if you looked at the cover you could say that....

        Like I said before with the impending snowstorm I think I'm going to hunker down and have a read-a-thon type thing.  I don't know if I'll have power but that's what an endless amount of batteries and a book light is for! Think I'll start with finishing off  Fire Storm by Andrew Lane.... Talk To You All Later! -Kaitlynn

Your a Natural at What?

          Hey Guys! I wasn't expect to finish my book so fast! But I am seriously regretting not buying it. Before I drone on any longer.... On to the review!

                                             The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
               Cassie is anything but normal. She can tell you exactly what you like, how you live, and what you do. She been doing that since she was little, her mom had taught her what to look for. That was all until her mother was killed. Years later Cassie is asked to join a government program for people called Naturals. Naturals are people who are good at things like: statistics, profiling, reading emotions, lying, etc. This program uses Naturals to solve cold cases. Where does Cassie fit in? She's one of these Naturals. But she also has another reason for joining... She believes that if she joins she can solve her mothers murder. When Cassie joins weird things start happening. Is Cassie connected to these weird things, or is she just an innocent caught up in what's happening?

         I rate this book a 5/5 stars. I just loved this book! If I didn't have to give it back to the library I would reread it until the poor thing was falling apart. The only thing I didn't like is that the author is still making me pick between two characters, Dean and Michael. I like them both and by the end I couldn't chose just one to like more than the other! But it was a really good book, and it kept me guessing till the very end. Not very many books do that to me now days.

     I'm starting to regret not picking up another book from the library. I didn't think I would have the time, or like the book enough to finish it in one day. For now I guess it is on to Fire Storm by Andrew Lane. Hope that it lasts more than a day because if not... I'm in some serious trouble cause I don't have time to swing by the library this week. Talk To You All Later!- Kaitlynn

What Kind of House? (Also Spoilers, Kind of....)

         Hey Guys! Sorry I haven't posted in well..... what probably felt like forever. I got extremely busy and misplaced things. But now I back and hope to have more time! I apologize before hand if my post today just sucks because I am going to try to review the fourth book in a series and try not to completely ruin every thing. I'm sure I'll ruin something for you guys but I will try my hardest not to. So on to the review!

                                           House of Hades by Rick Riordan
               Percy and Annabeth are in underworld, the rest of the demi-gods are racing to the doors of death, in hope of reaching Percy and Annabeth in time. Both groups run into their own problems, may it be minor gods, strange creatures, etc. Will everyone make it to the doors alive, or will something go wrong?

           I rate this a 5/5 stars. Of course how could I rate this anything but a 5. I had been waiting forever to read it! I think it would be best if you guys read it. Cause I am not very good about describing things. (Also here is the list of characters or "demi-gods" : Jason, Piper, Leo, Hazel, Frank, and Nico. May have forgot one or two but those are the main ones you kind of need to remember.)

        I told you it wouldn't be a very good review. I had so many things I wanted to put in it but They would have ruined just about every thing if I did. Other than that, I am currently reading The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes and regretting not buying it. So far it has been a really good book, but how much you want to bet it is going to have some weird twist ending. That is something I'll have to deal with later. I must get going for now, hope to be back sooner rather than later but who knows when I'll find time again. So.... Talk To You All Later! -Kaitlynn
