But where the flock goes, erasers are sure to follow! Even more troubling, though, is the voice that's begun whispering in Max's head. Is it really her destiny to save the world? I simply devoured this! One of my favourite series as a graphic novel, I was straight down to my library to borrow it, and it certainly did not disappoint. I LOVE the covers in the graphic novel series, they truly capture the description James Patterson provided of our protagonists; just look at them all: I feel they truly add a magical touch to the novels! This will be a review purely based on the graphic novel and not the story of which I will be writing reviews for soon. The images really captured how I

But when she discovers that one of her most-trusted allies is a rogue double-agent, Cammie questions her trust in her classmates, her teachers - and her own heart... The Gallagher Girls series still remains to be one of my favourite espionage series ever! Expertly written and entertaining they will instantly draw out your inner spy. I have tried to space out reading these novels so they last longer… I am failing miserably; they are just so addictive! The covers I love! The UK covers are my favourite as they always contain a main aspect from the novel

You choose. For as long as she can remember, Sabine has lived two lives. Every 24 hours she shifts to her 'other' life - a life where she is exactly the same, but absolutely everything else is different: different family, different friends, different social expectations. In one life she has a sister, in the other she does not. In one life she's a straight-A student with the perfect boyfriend, in the other she's considered a reckless delinquent. Nothing about her situation has ever changed, until the day when she discovers a glitch: the arm she breaks in one life is perfectly fine in the other.   With this new knowledge, Sabine begins a series of increasingly risky experiments that bring her dangerously close to the life she's always wanted. But if she ca

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart Published by  Random House on 13th May 2014 Pages:  240 Source:  *Received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review* A beautiful and distinguished family.

And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE. A beautifully written novel that will truly blow you away! The cover is mysterious and blurred feeling as though it represented the lies and memories that have been pushed together, making them unclear. This is an interesting and one of a kind novel, being incredibly surprising and different from anything I have ever read before it truly blew me aw

Perfect Lies by Kiersten White Series: Mind Games #2 Published by HarperCollins Children's UK on 30th January 2014 Pages: 302 Source:  *Received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review* First they made me kill. Then leave behind the one person I love. Now I’m getting even. Annie and Fia have battled to survive within the sinister Keane Foundation for years, using their powers to defend each other. Now the sisters have allies; friends who might help them escape. But Annie's visions of the future are never certain and Fia's flawless instincts can't always tell her who to trust. With only each other truly to rely on, their extraordinary gifts may not be enough to save them… This novel was incredibly peculiar, I was unsure as to whether I liked it or not. It was impeccably different and strange, but it kept me reading. I feel the cover truly reflects the plot of this book, alongside Fia's battle with her feelings and what she knows
