The Cinderella Society by Kay Cassidy

Jess Parker has moved so many times that she's used to not fitting in. At her new school, it's gone to a whole new level. Jess is hated by Lexy, one of the popular kids. It's not until Jess is invited to join the Cinderella Society that she begins to fit in and learn why Lexy hates her so much. Lexy is part of the Cinderella Society's enemies, the Wickeds. The Wickeds seem to be scheming up a plan to take control of all the normal kids around the world. Jess has to help the Cinderella society figure out the Wickeds' plan and to help stop it.

I really liked the book. When I first got it, I thought it was going to all fairytale-like because of the title, but it really wasn't. There's a sequel, The Cinderella Society: Cindy on a Mission, that is now on my list to read. It was a great story about standing up for yourself and for others.

Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann

The small town of Cryer's Cross has the traumatic experience of one of their teenagers going missing. As if that wasn't bad enough, a few months later another teen goes missing. This time it is Kendall's boyfriend, Nico. While neither bodies can be found, Kendall struggles to cope with the loss of Nico and searches for an explanation. Soon enough Kendall finds herself in a similar situation as the missing teens and finds out exactly where they went.

A chilling tale with a total twist ending. I loved it. I wish it were a series :p

The Dark and Hollow Places by Carrie Ryan

The third book in the Forest of Hands and Teeth series.

Annah has lived by herself for 3 years while she's waited for Elias to return. He finally comes home with another boy named Catcher. Unfortunately, the Unconsecrated are coming to the Dark City in hordes and it is no longer safe. Elias takes them to the Sanctuary where Annah is reunited with her twin sister Gabry. As time goes by, they begin to realize the Sanctuary isn't really as safe as they thought. They devise a plan to get off the island by hot air balloon. All they have to do is fly down the peninsula to an abandoned ship. If only it were that easy...

I think this is one of my all time favorite book series. Carrie Ryan had me hooked as soon as I started the Forest of Hands and Teeth. She really keeps you hooked. Several times I caught myself throughout the book getting upset for the main character and saying "ugh, she can't do that!" I loved it!

The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger

Andy wants more than anything to write. At this point, she doesn't care where. She needs a job. After interviewing at Runway magazine, Andy finds herself as the personal assistant to Miranda Priestly, the demanding editor-in-chief. Miranda is needy, impatient, and demanding and Andy hates her job, but knows if she puts in a year there it will open up many job opportunities for her. Andy stays with the job, until she can't take it anymore. After having a few choice words with Miranda, Andy leaves Runway and goes home. The story ends on a happy note when Andy is hired by Seventeen magazine and meets Loretta, who happened to have also worked at Runway.

I enjoyed the movie so I tried the book. The characters were perfectly portrayed, but I felt that towards the middle of the book I got sort of bored. It was a lot of just Andy complaining and about how she was unhappy. It picked up towards the end of the book though and ended on a high note. Overall, I did enjoy it and if you liked the movie then you'll like this.
