OMtotheG! - Wings

Wings by Aprilynne Pike is the story of a young girl named Laurel who suddenly discovered that her whole life was a lie. She was a faerie. And she had a huge flower growing out of her back.

This is a pretty good story and a fun and very light read. I feel the need here to point out that I am not a fan of Twilight. There are many similarities between the two stories, but I feel that Wings is what SMeyer wanted Twilight to be. My brother described it as Twilight minus the suck.

Wings rating: Cheesy, but not too bad.

OMtotheG! - I Am Not A Serial Killer

I Am Not A Serial Killer is a book by Dan Wells. And I'm going to review it. Hutcha!

John Wayne Cleaver is a 15-year-old boy in Nowhere, USA. He is determined to not become a serial killer. His chances of success are slim.

One of the reviews on the back cover referred to the book as "unputdownable." I would have to disagree, but only because "unputdownable" is such a silly word. This book is well written and addicting. I stayed up ridiculously late to finish it in one night, and I was very glad my teddy bear was easy to find when I finally finished and tried to go to sleep.

This book is riveting! Dan Wells obviously did his homework and researched carefully. The characters are fascinating and the story is nothing if not unique.

I Am Not A Serial Killer rating: Top shelf!
