Q: Keeping with the Spirit of Giving this season, what book do you think EVERYONE should read and if you could, you would buy it for all of your family and friends?
O.k well I would probably say any of the books in my three all-time favourite series which are:
Twilight Saga - Stephenie Meyer
Harry Potter - J.K Rowling
The Mortal Instruments - Cassandra Clare
I could buy them for my family, but sadly I'm the only one that really reads.

Meridian (Fenestra #1)

Half-human, half-angel, Meridian Sozu has a dark responsibility.
Sixteen-year-old Meridian has been surrounded by death ever since she can remember. As a child, insects, mice, and salamanders would burrow into her bedclothes and die. At her elementary school, she was blamed for a classmate’s tragic accident. And on her sixteenth birthday, a car crashes in front of her family home—and Meridian’s body explodes in pain.
Before she can fully recover, Meridian is told that she’s a danger to her family and hustled off to her great-aunt’s house in Revelation, Colorado. It’s there that she learns that she is a Fenestra—the half-angel, half-human link between the living and the dead. But Meridian and her sworn protector and love, Tens, face great danger from the Aternocti, a band of dark forces who capture vulnerable souls on the brink of death and cause chaos.

My Thoughts.
From as far back as she can remember Meridian has attracted dead animals to her, waking up each morning to find dead rats, spiders and insects her backyard is like a cemetery.
On her sixteenth birthday as she's walking home there's a car accident and she experiences excruciating pain, her Dad bundles her into a car, drives her to meet up with a taxi which then takes her to the bus depot where she has a ticket to go to Revelation, Colarado to go stay with her Great Aunt Meridian (her namesake) while her family goes into hiding.
There she finds out she's a Fenestra (half -human, half-angel) and her job is to send people's souls on into heaven, her Aunt who is also a Fenestra helps to teach her as well as her protector Tens.
But there are evil forces trying to stop her called Aternocti and they want her on their side to lure souls into hell.
Of course there's a little bit of romance and I can't wait to see Meridian's and Ten's relationship develop in future books.
I did not want to put this book down it was so good and I even had a little cry, I'm now off to start the second book.
I give this 5/5

Last Breath (The Morganville Vampires #11)
by Rachel Caine
Publication: 1st November 2011
Publisher: NAL Hardcover
Pages: 335
Genre: Paranormal
Age Appropriate: Young Adult
With her boss preoccupied researching the Founder Houses in Morganville, student Claire Danvers is left to her own devices when she learns that three vampires have vanished without a trace. She soon discovers that the last person seen with one of the missing vampires is someone new to town—a mysterious individual named Magnus. After an uneasy encounter with Morganville’s latest resident, Claire is certain Magnus isn’t merely human. But is he a vampire—or something else entirely?
My Thoughts.
**Warning May contain spoilers if you haven't read books 1-10 In The Series**
I have to start by saying I love this series and I'm never disappointed.
So we're in Morganville and Eve and Michael are planning their wedding, a lot of human's and vampires are opposed to the engagement.
Vampires are going missing around town and Claire keeps seeing a mysterious man who's there one minute and gone the next and no one else seems to see him, at the same time Amelie has been given a letter with just one word 'run' and just that one word upsets her enough that she orders all vampires out of Morganville.
Without spoiling anyting this book had a huge twist you would never see coming and the reactions were enough to leave me in tears.
One thing I missed in this book was the interaction between Claire and Myrnin , Claire refuses to speak to Myrnin for most of the book after he was ordered to do something by Amelie that upsets Claire.
In this book not only do we have Claire's pov but also Shane, Eve, Michael and Amelie and it's great to see how Amelie thinks.
While this book doesn't exactly end on a cliffhanger what happens makes me want the next book in my hands right now!
This book is definately my favourite in the series.
I give this 5/5
