I’m sure you’re going to feel uneasy like Lexi in this story, when her 13 year old little sister Kasey starts to act pretty weird in their old house they’ve just moved into. Lexi hopes it’s just the basement, that is horrifying. She’s so wrong. ‘Bad Girls Don’t Die’ isn’t so scary, that you can’t go brush your teeth alone in the bathroom after reading, but it’s pretty damn creepy and really well build up. The series consists of completed stories, and even though this book is easy to read and perfect for young teens with English as their second language, the plot is great and not childish at all.

‘The Perks of being a Wallflower’ by Stephen Chbosky
‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ is the story about the sensitive 15-year-old boy, Charlie, who starts in High School. As a reader I felt like I had a bigger role in this book because of the personal writing style and that is something I have never experienced before. But at the same time I cannot say that ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ has reached my list of favorite books. (mere…) -
‘Alice in Zombieland’ (White Rabbit Chronicles #1) by Gena Showalter
I cannot stress enough that ‘Alice in Zombieland’ is not a retelling of ‘Alice in Wonderland’! But nonetheless, I loved how the zombies were this kind of spirits, which you had to fight in spirit form, because it’s something I’ve never seen before and it worked great. In addition all the persons in this book felt so genuine and I wanted to be Alice because of her confident and strong personality, and also so I could get her lovely friends and family. (mere…) -
‘Twenty Boy Summer’ by Sarah Ockler
In ‘Twenty Boy Summer’ Sarah Ockler creates magic through her beautiful writing. While reading, I became Anna and that really made me enjoy this book. Besides that, then this wasn’t just another predictable love story. I liked how I had no clue about what direction the story was going to take, and that made me eager to read the book. (mere…)

‘Watchers’ by Dean Koontz
‘Watchers’ was my first favorite novel ever. I read it when I was 15 and thought it was absolutely lovely and horrifying and the same time. Now I felt it was time for a reread, because ‘Watchers’ isn’t just any mystery/horror/thriller-novel. It’s actually characterized as Dean Koontz best novel, by readers all over the world. (mere…)

‘Wintergirls’ by Laurie Halse Anderson
‘Wintergirls’ is not just a really good and realistic novel about a young girls complicated relationship to her parents and vice versa. It’s also a kind of a crime/mystery, because Lia in the secret wants to find out how Cassie died. This combination made it both a pageturner and unforgettable.

‘The Shining’ by Stephen King
‘The Shining’ isn’t scaring in the blood spattering way, it’s scary because you have this strong urge to dissociate from Jacks darkest and most insane feelings and thoughts, but King makes you realise, that you have them in you, yourself. WE ALL HAVE!

Boganmeldelse ‘Legend’ (Legend #1) af Marie Lu
Day og June bor i The Republic, der er opsplittet i distrikter for henholdsvis de rige og de fattige. Hele systemet med kontrasten mellem de fattige og rige, Day og June, der langsomt finder ud af, at The Republic gemmer på store hemmeligheder, lød som det perfekte setup, men alligevel levede historien i ‘Legend’ bare ikke op til mine forventninger.

‘Legend’ (Legend #1) by Marie Lu
Day and June are living in the Republic which is split into districts with the poor and the rich. The whole system with the poor and rich, together with Day and June who slowly finds out the Republic’s secrets, seemed to be the perfect setup for a book but ‘Legend’ did not live up to my expatiations.

‘Let It Snow’ by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle
‘Let It Snow’ with the subtitle ‘Three holiday romances’ is a novel from 2008, where three separate novellas mix into each other, storywise. The two first stories were so well written, deep, unpredictable, funny and thrilling, and the last one was a lot worse that just so-so. But overall, ‘Let It Snow’ still deserves four out of five stars. (mere…)
