For review:

The Island - Sarah Singleton

Otto, Jen and Charlotte are off to India for the trip of a lifetime. Arriving ahead of the others, Otto’s soon enjoying the beach paradise they’ve all dreamed of. But when he discovers a dead girl in the shallows, he’s suddenly thrust into the middle of a murder investigation.

And then he disappears.

As their dream holiday unravels, can Charlotte and Jen find their friend and prove his innocence - without putting themselves at risk?

From S&S. I really love the sound of this so I can’t wait to read it.

Hex Hall - Rachel Hawkins

When sixteen-year-old Sophie Mercer discovers she’s witch, she imagines life will be full of magic, fun and…well…broomsticks! But her first attempt at a love spell goes disastrously wrong and, as punishment, Sophie is shipped off to Hectate “Hex” Hall, a reform school for witches, shape shifters and faeries.

By the end of her first day among her fellow freak-teens, Sophie has quite a scorecard: three powerful enemies who look like supermodels, a futile crush on a gorgeous warlock, a creepy tag-along ghost, and a new roommate who happens to be the most hated person on campus and the only vampire.

Worse, Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students and her only friend is the number-one suspect…

From S&S. This sounds like such a fun book and the MC has a very cool name!

Hourglass - Claudia Gray

Bianca will risk everything to be with Lucas.

After escaping from Evernight Academy, the vampire boarding school where they met, Bianca and Lucas take refuge with Black Cross, a fanatical group of vampire hunters. Bianca must hide her supernatural heritage or risk certain death at its hands. But when Black Cross captures her friend - the vampire Balthazar - hiding is no longer an option.

Soon, Bianca and Lucas are on the run again, pursued not only by Black Cross, but by the powerful leaders of Evernight. Yet no matter how far they travel, Bianca can’t escape her destiny.

Bianca has always believed their love could survive anything…but can it survive what’s to come?

So excited for this! The ending to Stargazer was evil!

Never Bite a Boy on the First Date - Tamara Summers

When we found the guy and saw the holes in his neck, the cause of death was obvious.

“It wasn’t me,” I said. “I make one mistake and every little vampire attack is my fault? That’s so unfair!”

But it doesn’t matter how much I protest, unless I can prove my innocence I’ll be spending the nest decade in a padded coffin. So now I’m on mission to track down the real murderer. I’ve narrowed it down to three suspects.

Al acting suspiciously.
All boys.
And all very cute…

A present from my Dad. I haven’t read a vampire book in way too long so I’m really looking forward to this one.
