Nose Down, Eyes Up

I read Walking in Circles Before Lying Down and thought it was so much better than this one. There wasn't enough dog here and the main character was an ass. I didn't like him. Go read Walking, it's much more satisfying.

Forest of Hands and Teeth


The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
I love zombies, and vampires, and supernatural stuff. They're fun to read. So I was drawn to this zombie novel for young adults. It started off really good. The idea of how this town of people had lived for generations was fascinating. As the story wore on I found the main character, Mary, to be terribly self-absorbed. To a point that I wanted to slap her. So it's a decent book, and there are more that follow (although I don't think Mary is the main character in the next one) so I may pick them up down the road. This was an easy and fast read.

Immortal

Immortal by Gillian Shields
Wyldcliffe Abbey School for Young Ladies is elite, expensive, and unwelcoming. When Evie Johnson is torn from her home near the sea to become the newest scholarship student, strict teachers, snobbish students, and the oppressive atmosphere of Wyldcliffe leave her drowning in loneliness.

Evie's only lifeline is Sebastian, a mysterious and attractive young man she meets by chance. As Evie's feelings for Sebastian blaze with each secret meeting, she begins to fear that he is hiding something about his past. And she is haunted by glimpses of a strange, ghostly girl—a girl who is so eerily like Evie she could be a sister. Evie is slowly drawn into a tangled web of past and present that she cannot control. As the extraordinary, elemental forces of Wyldcliffe rise up like the mighty sea, Evie is faced with an astounding truth about Sebastian, and her own incredible fate. (source)
