“No, it was never a game…It was a bet on us. I wasn’t about to let us go, don’t you see? No matter what happens, this brazen, brilliant friendship is going to survive the rubble.”

"Wise girl," he said. "You didn't always think I was wise." "No, I thought you were a pest, but I know better now." He dropped a kiss on top of her head and went out the door, still carrying his tulip.

“Come one, come all, and try your hand at the YA quote quiz of the decade. It is time for you to ask yourself: How many of these YA book opening lines can you identify? A good opening line gets a reader to sit down and pay attention. An excellent opening line hooks you and reels you into shore. With books, first impressions can be everything. The book cover, paratextual material, and opening lines are just a few important first impressions books use to sell their stories. This quiz tests the mettle of your favorite YA books by seeing what opening lines you can still remember.“

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

I carried their stories with me - Mary Ellen and Ann, Julia, Rachel and Mandy. They were less of a weight and more a reminder that the truth could be hard to hear, but was the only thing that brought us together.

Hunting Prince Dracula
By Kerri Maniscalco
Spicy 0/5
Romance 2/5
This is the sequel to the series Stalking Jack the Ripper, and I loved it because this is one of the few second-series books that don’t have second-book syndrome meaning it still is captivating even after the first book. We get a lot of angst between Thomas and Audrey, and the tension keeps you on the edge of your seat because you want them to hurry up and get together by the end of this book. This takes place around a month and a few weeks after the first book, and I recommend if you haven't read the first book, read it before starting this one. Spoilers are ahead, so read the following sentences knowing the first book will be spoiled.
Audrey Rose is going to a forensics academy in Romania with Thomaswell. While on the train ride over, a body is discovered murdered and impaled, and a whole new career murderer is on the loose, stabbing and draining victims of their blood. While navigating being the only female student at the academy and trying to unravel this mystery, she must cope with the loss of her brother and process the fact that he committed the murders to bring their mother back to life.
Even though this book series is YA and I tend not to read as much as any more than when I first started reading, I expanded my horizons and decided to complete reading this series because Kerri Maniscalco is such a good author and, in my opinion, is such an underrated author.

"I don't know what you're talking about." The blue-haired boy's tone was pained but surly. "He means other demons," said the dark-haired boy, speaking for the first time. "You do know what a demon is, don't you?"
