Choice Summer (The Nikki Sheridan Series #1) by Shirley Brinkerhoff

Life for Nikki Sheridan has always been the same no surprises, no scrapes, no crises, no escapes. This summer will change all that.
"Sure enough, honey-"
Her hollow words reverberated off the cold, antiseptic walls of the examination room, and inside my head. I stopped listening.
How could this have happened to me?
More accurately, how will I ever forget? Especially now that there's this little reminder to think about. What am I going to do?
Telling my parents - I don't even want to think about that! And Grandma and Grandpa would be so disappointed. No. It's just like the nurse at the clinic said I can have it taken care of, and then my life can just go back to normal.
But I have to do it right away, before anyone finds out, before I start gaining weight-
Her worst fears confirmed, Nikki's plans come to a screeching halt when she realizes that, for the first time in her life, the choice is hers to make. What will she decide? And can she follow through with it?

This is an excellent coming of age story with a great message. Each book in the series talks about and deals with a different situation that normally affects teenagers. I highly recommend this series! But, readers should be warned that it deals with sensitive topics.

Language: Very mild.

Adult Stuff: There is a bedroom scene that is part of the main story but it is written very tastefully and without many details.

Violence: None.

Overall Age Rating: 13+

Book Review Of The Vampire Stalker by Allison van Diepen

This book had SO much potential and I feel like it only scratched the surface. It was refreshing to have characters with personality, and depth. Overall it was a fun and easy read. Language: None Adult stuff: Just a few light kisses but nothing inappropriate Violence: A few descriptions of vampire kills but not graphic Overall Age Rating: I'd say a ten-year-old could read it and be fine

Against his will Alex is drawn into the struggles of Carey's slaves--and those of his stepdaughter, Joanna Carey.
