Book Review: 13 to Life

New Book Review: 13 to Life

When darkness takes over your life and makes it impossible to breathe, all you want to do is let it. Jessica, on the other hand, decides to do something about it and tries to escape the clutches of the dark. 13 to Life by Shannon Defancy is easily described as a suspenseful, romantic love story which absolutely any girl would enjoy. Pieter moves from Russian High to Junction High trying to hide from the Russian Mafia. He has to be careful not to give his real, true identity though. Jessica is chosen as a peer mediator to show the new, attractive, and foreign student around. Soon every girl is falling for this so called ledged including Jessica’s best friend, Sarah. Sarah and Jessica met after a horrendous event that happened on a night of grief and despair. 13 to Life had me scared out of my pants in certain scenes, but also heartbroken from the infinite love between characters. Making you feel pressure of hard events and decisions and making you feel as if you were the character were huge strength of this book. I honestly loved this selection because it’s a forbidden love story in which you get lost in like magic.

Book Review: Divergent

Divergent, by Veronica Roth


In the book Divergent by Veronica Roth, the author does a great job at putting a futuristic twist on Chicago, by breaking it up into five factions: Abnegation the selfless, Candor the honest, Amity the peaceful, Erudite the intelligent, and Dauntless the brave. Sixteen year old Beatrice (Tris) has always grown up in Abnegation, but she’s to the age where she must choose which faction she wants to live in. Tris knows she doesn't belong to Abnegation because she’s not selfless enough. So when she heads to school one day to take a test that will help her choose a faction, the results come back as Divergent which in this government is dangerous. A test result that can end with her death. A day later she must choose to either stick with her family or leave. She chooses Dauntless the brave, but she’s not simply part of their community yet. No, her and many other sixteen year olds have to be put through a test of bravery. She later learns only eleven people become Dauntless; the other are factionless. She has a difficult time until Four helps her. In the end, the author throws a curve that has you speechless.

All in all I have no complaints about the book, and I love how she mixes romance, danger, and suspense together to form a vivid love story. Over all the book is excellent, and I highly recommend it to any teen or adult that loves romance novels.
