Booked with Abby

 Audrey Rose Wadsworth and Thomas Cresswell are in America. New York is nothing like London but when people turn up murdered, it seems too much like the Jack the Ripper case. Audrey Rose and Thomas follow this new serial killer all the way to Chicago only to find this killer is unlike anything they've faced before. Capturing him will be much harder than they expected. Capturing the Devil was a great conclusion to the Stalking Jack the Ripper series. It was impossible to put down. No one creates plot twists like Kerri Maniscalco. The killer's identity was pretty easy to figure out compared to the previous books. The clues were so obvious and scattered everywhere throughout the book. Capturing the Devil  managed to repair how horrible Audrey Rose was in Escaping from Houdini . I was so mad when Mephistopheles showed up in this book. I will never understand why people like him especially after he tried to ruin Audrey Rose and Thomas's relationship. Thomas and Audrey Rose are s...

   Tilly's mother disappeared almost ten years ago. Ten years later, Tilly starts to experience strange things. Anne of Green Gables and Alice from Wonderland have started appearing in her family's bookshop, Pages and Co. to make things even weirder, Tilly finds she has the ability to travel into Anne and Alice's stories. Tilly's new discovery is fun at first, but danger lurks at every turn... This book was so much better than I thought it would be! I couldn't put it down. I wouldn't describe this book as gripping, but the plot certainly moved fast enough to keep me interested.  The Bookwanders  was so lighthearted and after recently dealing with all the politics in  War Storm  and  Broken Throne , it was a nice break. The plot was nothing new: an orphan who discovers a new world and that she has magical powers. I've read dozens of books like that before, but  The Bookwanders  had its own special twist on things. Everything that happened with...

Percy Jackson just got kicked out of another school. He always seems to get into trouble. After a road trip with his mom goes south, Percy finds out that he is a demi-god. He travels to Camp Halfblood with his friend Grover where they meet Anabelle, the daughter of Athena. The three are sent on a quest to recover Zeus's stolen lightning bolt.     I really liked Percy Jackson . There's this whole thing about whether Percy Jackson or  Harry Potter  is better. After reading both books I would 100 % go with Percy Jackson .      I definitely will be continuing this book series. There was never a boring moment and I enjoyed the book. Rick Riordan did an amazing job with this book and I can see why everyone loves his books so much.     I saw the movie for this book two years ago in my history class and it was okay. The book was much better. If I hadn't seen the movie, I think I would have been really surprised by some of the stuff that happened. I a...

 Sadie couldn't handle it when Mattie died. That's when she went missing. Now, West McCray is producing a new podcast called The Girls . At first, he doesn't want to do the show. Girls go missing all the time. Why would there be anything special about Sadie? When West finally does travel to the small town of Cold Creek, he's determined to find out what actually happened to Sadie. Wow. Sadie was really hard to digest. I feel like this one will be one that sticks with me for a while. I'm not going to say I enjoyed Sadie  because it's not the type of book one would enjoy reading. I could never imagine going through the same types of things Sadie went through. It's something that no girl should have to face. Still, all those troubling instances didn't stop this book from being gripping. I read Sadie  within two days. I started it Saturday afternoon and finished Sunday night. I couldn't stop reading. It wasn't just addictive because I wanted to know w...

 In the Kingdom, happily ever after isn't just a promise. It's a rule. Ana is one of the Fantasists, engineered princesses designed to make dreams come true. When Ana meets Owen, she starts to experience emotions beyond her programming. Love. But her fairytale takes a turn as Ana is accused of murdering Owen. Why hasn't there been more hype surrounding this book? It was so freaking good! I couldn't put down this. At first, I didn't plan on finishing it as quickly as I did. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop.  The Kingdom  is a very fast-paced book. It was so original too. I've never read anything like it! The Kingdom was basically Disney but cooler... and evil. Just the entire aspect of this theme park is amazing! There were so many cool aspects of this book! I loved that part of the book we're told through court transcript. Though the story basically followed two different timelines, it was very easy to keep track of everything happening. I also lo...

 A year after Citra was supposed to kill Rowan, he lives on the run as the infamous Scythe Lucifer. He kills the corrupt scythes in the scythedom, but his acts have placed a giant target on his back. Citra does her duty day by day as the honorable Scythe Anastasia. But someone is targeting Citra and Scythe Curie. Someone who means to end their lives. This book was so good! I loved Scythe , but Thunderhead was so much better. I never wanted this book to end and I was so not ready for that ending! The worst part is that Thunderhead  ended off on a cliffhanger and I don't have  The Toll  yet! I love the characters in this book so much. Citra and Rowan are so amazing. I am was so emotionally invested in this story. I couldn't put it down because I was so eager to see what would happen to these two. I feel like all the characters in this series have so many sides to them. At every moment, I feel like I was learning something new about each and every character. THAT ENDING...
