Megan can see ghosts.  Well, technically she can only see her twin sister, Remy, who died when they were in second grade in a car accident. Her dad was injured in the accident but he never woke up from his coma. For the past 10 years he has been surviving in a nursing home with a feeding tube. Since the accident, Remy started showing up every once in a while, maybe once every two months. However, recently Remy has been showing up a lot with scary words like “she is going to die” and “hurry Meggy!” Remy shows Megan the future, and once Megan pieces all the clues together, will it be too late? Will there be time for a budding new romance? Will taking away her father’s feeding tube help Remy move on? Find out in this paranormal fiction book by Amanda Marrone.  My rating is 9/10 because it was very unpredictable. Amanda takes a Disney fairy tale and turns it into something scary; you never know how things will piece together until the very end.

The Romeo and Juliet Code by Phoebe Stone

The Romeo and Juliet Code
Phoebe Stone

The Romeo and Juliet Code is one of the many secrets in this World War 2 setting. When Felicity is shipped off to Bottle Bay, Maine to stay with her dad’s family that she has never met, she finds more and more secrets rather than answers. One of the main questions is “why is my dad sending letters to Uncle Gideon and not me”. When a secret person named Mr. Donovan shows up asking about the letters only to her uncle Gideon.

The writing of this book was done extremely well however, the plot leaves the reader with questions that made the book not really have an ending in the end. This book would be so much better if there was a sequel that tied up the loose ends of the book. Finally there the cover was very misleading to what the book was going to be like. My rating is 4 out of 10 because of the ending and the cover.

This book is about 16-year old Cara who is really kind of the loser at her high school. Cara dreams about her best friend, Zoe, whom she moved away from when they were in 5^th grade. But suddenly, Zoe shows up at Cara’s front door saying she ran away from home and she needed a place to stay. So while Zoe is hiding out in Cara’s bedroom, mysterious murders and disappearances are occurring to girls at Cara’s school. Is Zoe responsible? This book is fantastic; I read it on one night. My rating is 9/10.
