Flora's Dare was a great book. This story portrays perfectly the fear, happiness, anger, and confusion in Flora's life.Flora Fyrdraaca is fourteen (an adult in her world) yet still lives with her mom, dad, and banished butler. She is pushed around when all she wants is to expand her vocabulary (allowing her to do "magick"), face her possessed best friend, and save her city. Because of a curse, a giant squid is being held captive under her city. The squid is causing earthquakes by trying to free herself. Imagine being her.
Afterlife is a truthful story. It tells the truth about hurt feelings; how Bianca dies and rises again as a ghost; and of Lucas, a former vampire slayer. Bianca and her true love, Lucas promise each other that they would be together forever and that no forces could tear them apart. But when Lucas is murdered by a vampire to protect Bianca, Bianca must make the choice of the century: end Lucas forever beyond death, or grant him immortality as the one thing he spent his entire life hunting and killing - a vampire.
