WARNING: This book is pretty awesome,

it has the perfect amount of everything. Definite read.(summary from goodreads)

Violet Ambrose is grappling with two major issues: Jay Heaton and her morbid secret ability. While the sixteen-year-old is confused by her new feelings for her best friend since childhood, she is more disturbed by her "power" to sense dead bodies—or at least those that have been murdered. Since she was a little girl, she has felt the echoes that the dead leave behind in the world... and the imprints that attach to their killers.

Violet has never considered her strange talent to be a gift; it mostly just led her to find the dead birds her cat had tired of playing with. But now that a serial killer has begun terrorizing her small town, and the echoes of the local girls he's claimed haunt her daily, she realizes she might be the only person who can stop him.

Despite his fierce protectiveness over her, Jay reluctantly agrees to help Violet on her quest to find the murderer—and Violet is unnerved to find herself hoping that Jay's intentions are much more than friendly. But even as she's falling intensely in love, Violet is getting closer and closer to discovering a killer... and becoming his prey herself.

 

Violet...sensing the dead

I absolutely love this book, it was pretty awesome. When I was reading The Body Finder, I was like that's kind of creepy finding dead people, but that's why the book was good because in the book when Violet is struggling with her power and the tension  between her best friend since childhood  (Jay Heaton).

  I liked how the book kept you going, you don't even want to put the book down even for a minute and I liked how the book had a lot of ups and downs in Violets life, cause in reality everyone has ups and downs.

There was some chapters, that were creepy because those chapters were the point of view of the serial killer, so that was weird reading a part of the serial killer point of view.
 

 

When I was Reading The Body Finder, I kept thinking that Violet was going to become a victim and the serial killer was going to find her and then violet hero comes and saves the day (*SPOILER*) and YES, Violet hero comes and saves the day.

 
While I was reading the body finder I was like Jay isn't it obvious that Violet likes you and then there relationship starts becoming more then friends. The ending was a BLAST! it was awesome, when I finished reading the book I just wanted to read it again and again.

Plot

When Violet starts developing feelings for her best friend Jay Heaton and on the other hand she is disturbed from her power to "sense the dead" When a serial killer starts terrorizing her small town and leaving dead girls behind. Violet power is not a total waste when she gets closer and closer to finding out who the serial killer is.

 

I really, really enjoyed this book, so I hope you guys enjoy it too.

Review:

What I Feel.....

First of all I got this book by its cover.

Second of all the Title.

Third of all my older sister said it was a good book.

So when I went home to read Die for Me, I couldn't stop reading it. Because it was so unique and it has supernaturals that I ha never heard of. I thought this book was really epic. Already I have read this book over four times!

 

I totally swooned over this book. Usually you can't fing books that are taken place outside North America. This is a definite read so make sure you read this. It's so cool that this book was taken place in Paris and that there are revenants. This is the first revenant book I ever read or people like to think of it as ZOMBIE'S, but it's REVENANTS. Big difference people.

Kate and Vincent

In the beginning of the book, she was at the cafe where she first saw Vincent. It was kind obvious that Kate will be with Vincent, it's called destiny or fate. But it was different from other books, cause instead of being in the same school together or some guy saying "You remember me?" or some guy at a party saying "Hey, don't you go to the same school as me?" NO! Vincent is way different to strike up a conversation, especially when Kate leaves behind her book bag behind.

 First I thought Vincent knew Kate from somewhere, but he didn't know her, he just had a feeling. There was a part in the book where I went, "Why can't you guys just be together?" But Kate didn't want to lose her heart, especially right after her parent's accident. 

Later in the book when Vincent couldn't stand that Kate couldn't be with him, cause he has to die over and over again. So he starts watching her from a far distant just to see if she's okay. That was kind of creepy. But obviously there's always a happy ending. This book was a fast read. I enjoyed it a lot, and I hope everyone will enjoy it.

Plot

After a tragic accident that leaves Kate and her older sister orphaned, they move to France to live with their grandparents. Kate tries to hide her pain by escaping in the world of art and books. But soon after she meets charming, handsome Vincent. Vincent is not what she expected, he's a revenant who saves people's lives by dying over and over again. Kate scared that if she falls for him, that she will never save her heart again.

This book was awesome it's a definite read. make sure you check out the next review for the second book in the series Until I Die.

WARNING: It was a little too long but it was a breathtaking book with lots of detail which will make you be on the edge of your seat.

(Summary from Goodreads)

Cheerleader Isobel Lanley is horrified when she is paired with Varen Nethers for an English project, which is due—so unfair—on the day of the rival game. Cold and aloof, sardonic and sharp-tongued, Varen makes it clear he’d rather not have anything to do with her either. But when Isobel discovers strange writing in his journal, she can’t help but give this enigmatic boy with the piercing eyes another look.

Soon, Isobel finds herself making excuses to be with Varen. Steadily pulled away from her friends and her possessive boyfriend, Isobel ventures deeper and deeper into the dream world Varen has created through the pages of his notebook, a realm where the terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe come to life.

As her world begins to unravel around her, Isobel discovers that dreams, like words, hold more power than she ever imagined, and that the most frightening realities are those of the mind. Now she must find a way to reach Varen before he is consumed by the shadows of his own nightmares.

His life depends on it

Review:

Isobel and Varen's.... Dream?

When I went to the library to go book hunting, I was looking at books that caught my attention. When I saw Nevermore on the shelves in the teen section, I snatched it off the shelf and signed it out, the cover captured my attention. When I finished this book I was like speechless and the first thing I thought was "When is the 2nd book coming out?" I really am looking forward for the second book
 and the third book.

It did take Isobel a long time to find out what Varen was hiding and it did take a long time to find out that Isobel loved Varen. I thought that Varen hated Isobel the whole time and then slowly started falling in love, but Varen always had a crush for Isobel and Varen was not good at showing it.

Nevermore was really different from all the other books I read because this was nothing like the other books. Near the ending that really got me out-of-my-seat. But (finally!) near the ending they show what Varen is hiding, what he's doing and then......... I'm not going to spoil the book for everyone, so here's a idea why don't you guys read the book if you like fantasy, romance and (drum roll)........ paranormal. But I wish Isobel kind of found out Varen's secret earlier, not near the ending, actually it was not that near to the ending, over all I really enjoyed it! Can't wait for the next book! I have Enshadowed on hold, the second book in the Nevermore series. I can't wait till I get it!

Plot

Isobel didn't want anything to do with Varen Nethers and he made it clear he didn't want anything to do with her either, but when she finds out about weird writing in his journal, she gets the urge to find out what's going on with Varen and is determined to find out what's in his journal and is this anything to do with the famous poet Allen Edgar Poe or his death.

I really enjoyed the plot, if you guy's read it, you'll urgently be swept into the dream worlds or realms.
