Sapphire Blue by: Kerstin Gier

*CAUTION DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE READ RUBY RED BY: KIRSTEN GIER*

Back Cover: Gwen’s life has been a rollercoaster since she discovered she was the Ruby, the final member of the secret time-traveling Circle of Twelve. In between searching through history for the other time-travelers and asking for a bit of their blood (gross!), she’s been trying to figure out what all the mysteries and prophecies surrounding the Circle really mean.

At least Gwen has plenty of help. Her best friend Lesley follows every lead diligently on the Internet. James the ghost teaches Gwen how to fit in at an eighteenth century party. And Xemerius, the gargoyle demon who has been following Gwen since he caught her kissing Gideon in a church, offers advice on everything. Oh, yes. And of course there is Gideon, the Diamond. One minute he’s very warm indeed; the next he’s freezing cold. Gwen’s not sure what’s going on there, but she’s pretty much destined to find out.

Rating: 4/5

This sequel to Ruby Red was really good. It leaves you hanging the entire book and you never really know who to trust. It's great! It could be a little annoying at times though because Gideon and Gwen could both be ridiculous at times. This sequel left you wanting the next book desperately!

Four: A Divergent Collection

". . . becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it, that's the point."
-Four: A Divergent Collection, Four

Where She Went by: Gayle Forman

**CAUTION DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE READ IF I STAY**

Back Cover: It's been three years since the devastating accident. . . three years since Mia walked out of Adam's life forever.

Now living on opposite coasts, Mia is Julliard's rising star and Adam in LA tabloid fodder, thanks to his new rock star status and celebrity girlfriend. When Adam gets stuck in New York by himself, chance brings the couple together again, for one last night. As they explore the city that has become Mia's home, Adam and Mia revisit the past and open their hearts to the future---and each other.

Rating: 4/5

This sequel to If I Stay was so great! Set in Adam's perspective you finally get to see what happens after Mia decides to stay. When Mia and Adam "find" each other in New York it is magical in a way. They travel the streets that Mia has come to love and just talk.

This book was a fantastic story of lost love found again. I loved how it was in Adam's perspective so you get to see how he felt through the whole experience of Mia being in the hospital and how he reacts to Mia walking out on him. Throughout the entire book there are little pieces of Adam's songs that he wrote after Mia left. It's so beautiful in a broken kind of way.

If I Stay by: Gayle Forman


Back Cover: On a day that started like any other. . .
Mia had everything: a loving family, a gorgeous, adoring boyfriend, and a bright future full of music and full of choices. Then, in an instant, almost all of that is taken from her. Caught between life and death, between a happy past and an unknowable future, Mia spends one critical day contemplating the one decision she has left---the most important decision she'll ever make.

Rating: 4/5

The story follows Mia after she and her family get in a massive accident. While Mia is an a coma she has an out of body experience where she is able to walk around the hospital and see everything that is happening while she is asleep. Now Mia has to make the biggest decision in her life. Should she stay? Or should she go?

Since this book is now a movie I decided that before I saw it I HAD to read the book! I still haven't seen the movie but the book was so great! When Mia's parents are killed on impact during the crash it brought upon me a shocking realization that life is so fleeting. Within a moment you can go from having everything to nothing. I feel like this book revealed to me that you need to live every day like your last because you never know when the people you love will be snatched away, or if you'll be snatched away. The author portrays perfectly the inner struggle in Mia that I believe all of us would go through if we had to decide whether we wanted to stay on the world or pass on the something else.

This book was a little slow and there were definitely no action scenes, but if you're a fan of The Fault in Our Stars you will fall in love with If I Stay!
