First off, this book was nothing like I expected! Going by the cover and by the synopsis, I thought it was going to be a ghost book (which is why I downloaded it in the first place). However, it has no ghosts in it. It's about a parallel universe/alternate reality.

Saying that, I did love this book. I found myself staying up at night just to read the next chapter. The characters are well formed and so is the plot.

There is a love triangle which is kind of annoying since they seem to be in every book at the moment. I also found Julia a bit annoying at the end of the book which I won't elaborate on because of spoilers.

However, for the most part, this book does make you believe that an alternate reality could exist. I'd definitely recommend this book to all fans of YA.

Do you LOVE learning about the world around you? Well, then I have the book for you. The Future of Buildings, Transportation, and Power by Roger Duncan and Michael E. Webber was so interesting to read. I enjoyed the chapter layouts and how each subject flowed neatly into the next; plus, I liked how at the end of each chapter they did a little summary. Roger Duncan and Michael E. Webber’s explanation of things like the future of AI and graphene (a new building material) were some of my favorites to learn about; although there were many more I enjoyed reading about as well

I really enjoy Steve Harvey as a comedian, but this book just didn't do it for me. Maybe the book would have been helpful when I was still dating but now that I am in a relationship the advise seemed obvious. Even if I was still dating I think most of his advise is common knowledge on how to conduct yourself as a lady but I guess some people need help in that area. The first chapter was the most helpful for me. After that I just read to finish the book. I really wouldn't recommend this book to anyone I know,but it could be helpful to some single women out there.

Border Bandits: Hollywood on the Southern Frontier

This book primarily focused on films set on the border of California and Mexico, specifically in Los Angeles and San Diego. Again, it was interesting to see how films document or change real life in their creations. Immigrants who want to get into the industry are often type casted and not given many opportunities to do much else. Some of the films discussed touched on that subject. This book focused less on the crossing of borders than what happens after. Fojas wanted to inform her readers about the struggles immigrants continuously have to deal with even after they get across the border. The chapter that was most interesting to me would have to be chapter four because it made me think more about how films mirror the issues going on today more than I had expected.

Loved the book it it kept me hooked for the entirety.

I loved the way you saw the story from everyone's point of view. Each chapter opened a new door on the memories that Rachel couldn't quite remember, even if the chapter wasn't hers.

Throughout you hope that things didn't end the way they do.

The only bad bit I found was the ending due to the suspense throughout once you worked out the killer it had a bit of a drag. It also had such a dull end which is a shame as a whole the book is fantastic and kept me gripped. This is my personal opinion on the ending as I have spoken to others who loved it so maybe it's like marmite: you either love it or hate it.

Still minus the end it's a five star thriller.
