Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion Series: Warm Bodies #1 Published by Vintage on 28th October 2010 Pages: 240 'R' is a zombie. He has no name, no memories and no pulse, but he has dreams. He is a little different from his fellow Dead. Amongst the ruins of an abandoned city, R meets a girl. Her name is Julie and she is the opposite of everything he knows - warm and bright and very much alive, she is a blast of colour in a dreary grey landscape. For reasons he can't understand, R chooses to save Julie instead of eating her, and a tense yet strangely tender relationship begins. This has never happened before. It breaks the rules and defies logic, but R is no longer content with life in the grave. He wants to breathe again, he wants to live, and Julie wants to help him. But their grim, rotting world won't be changed without a fight... The Cover: It is simple in ways, but is very effective and gives a very strong presence of zombies. It easily captures

McElderry Books Date of Release: September 13th 2011 Pages: 395 Pearl is a sixteen-year-old vampire... fond of blood, allergic to sunlight, and mostly evil... until the night a sparkly unicorn stabs her through the heart with his horn. Oops. Her family thinks she was attacked by a vampire hunter (because, obviously, unicorns don't exist), and they're shocked she survived. they're even more shocked when Pearl discovers she can now withstand the sun.

If Pearl enrolls in high school, she can make lots of human friends and lure them to the King's feast -- as the entrees. The only problem? Pearl's starting to feel the twinges of a conscience. How can she serve up her new friends - especially the cute guy who makes her fangs ache - be slaughtered? Th

Summary: Evie's always thought of herself as a normal teenager, even though she works for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, her ex-boyfriend is a faerie, she's falling for a shape-shifter, and she's the only person who can see through paranormals' glamours. But Evie's about to realize that she may very well be at the center of a dark faerie prophecy promising destruction to all paranormal creatures. So much for normal. Title:  Paranormalcy Author:  Kiersten White Series: Paranormalcy- 1 Publisher: HarperTeen Date ofRelease: August 31st 2010 Pages: 335 Review: I LOVED THIS BOOK! It is possibly one of the best books I have read in a while. It was funny, sassy and overall a great book to get stuck into. My brother had to pry it out of my hands. Literally.

She loves Easton Heights due to the fact that she has never been
