New Book Reviews

Eternal by Cynthia Leitich Smith (Gr 6 - 8)

If you enjoyed Twilight and other vampire stories, you should give this one a try. It is better written and the storyline is suspenseful and exciting. Miranda is a young girl that is taken and turned into an "eternal", another name for vampire. Miranda also has a guardian angel that sees this happen to her and he is given an assignment to watch out for her. But Miranda is no ordinary vampire. She becomes the princess of vampires and lives in a castle with the most powerful vampire of all. This story is contemporary (Miranda's friend has a blog!) and is set in a world where everyone knows that vampires exist.
