Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls #1) by Maggie Stiefvater


I liked the science behind the wolves. I thought that a few scenes were either slow or not needed. I don't know. That's probably just me. It also seemed like the characters weren't fully developed and that they flip-flopped a lot throughout the story. While reading it I felt like I was reading all the horror stories of high school drama. 
Language: Mild and rare.
Adult Stuff: Kisses, sometimes passionate. There is also a bedroom scene that kinda 'fades to black' but not really. A lot of the scene and descriptions didn't need to be added.
Violence: One of the characters had a horrific childhood and the main character gets.... hurt a few times with blood mentioned. There is also descriptions of how the shifting happens and a few fight scenes.
Overall Age Rating: 16+

Book Review of Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

DNF (did not finish)... This book had such a cool and fresh storyline that I was excited to read it! Until I stumbled upon the language scattered through this book about as often as the word "the" or "a". Oh well... :( Language: LOTS!  Multiple F-bombs and various other language is scattered throughout. Adult Stuff: I only got a few chapters in but the book discussed some adult content and the heroine is very blunt so it can be taken as rude. There is also talk that Rose and Lissa had a romantic relationship (which is not true). There is also.... tension between the Rose and Dimitri.  Violence: A few descriptions of how to kill Strigoi but not graphic. Overall Age Rating: Older teens in my opinion.

Book Review of The Nine Lives Of Chloe King by Celia Thompson and Liz Braswell

Having watched the Tv series first, I was disappointed in how the friendships were. I loved how Chloe and her mom were like friends in the Tv series but the book had them more like mom and rebellious teen. I only got a few pages in before I thought "I don't want the book to ruin how the characters are in the Tv series." So, if you've seen the Tv series then be prepared for disappointment. Language: There is some language, I'd say the same amount as in Vampire Academy. (Click  here  to read the review) Adult Stuff: Chloe goes to a club with an agenda of 'hooking up' with a guy, she gets close. Detailed but not graphic, if that makes sense. Violence: Chloe hurts a few people with her.. powers. Described and blood is mentioned. Youngest age to read it :  Later teens.
