The Dance Part 2

Everything is supposedly back to normal. Jessica, still grieving for her dead friend, Alice. Michael Olson is still searching for the killer of Alice and his main suspect is Clark, Alice’s boyfriend, who is now Polly’s boyfriend. Michael is also not convinced that it was suicide and the police doesn’t seem to do much about that except closing the case deciding it was murder.

Meanwhile Jessica realizes that she has fallen in love with Michael Olson but she isn’t sure that he has the same feelings for her and he is too-good for such a girl like her. So instead, she tries seducing the football quarterback, Bill Skater.

Now, the homecoming dance was coming soon and Jessica, Maria, Clair and another girl, Cindy. Unfortunately, somebody tampered with the float and it seems that there will be another accident tonight or even death…

The Graduation

With Maria in a wheelchair with her useless legs Jessica is nearly depressed since Maria accused her for the accident.

With Michael still searching for Alice’s murderer, he seems to be getting nowhere expect suspecting Clark all along.

During the late-night cruise party everybody is present Michael, Jessie, Sara, Polly…and Clark as well…will the cruise be a big mistake? Will any more lives be claimed?.

My ratings:

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

It was an amazing ending to the story. I wont tell you what happened otherwise I will spoil it but it had a really happy ending and a strange one as well especially Bubba’s ending and Clair’s.

It was amazingly written and the last moments in the boat was breathtaking and we finally know who is the killer…

Thanks for reading!

Final Friends- A Book Review

I am so sorry for writing this late. I had my Art homework on collage and it took me FOREVER to complete it and I haven’t even finished it! It is on the theme, Wakashio boat so it is a bit complicated. The choice of colours is very time consuming. AND I have a small test for Social and Modern Studies on Thursday and I had to revise. I don’t even know why I started revising so late! BTW our teacher told us just last week. I have so many notes to revise and I have to memorize all of them! Duh!

So I think you can understand…let us start directly with the review.

Name: Final Friends (Volume 1) The Party and The Dance Part 1

Author: Christopher Pike

Genre: YA, Horror fiction, Mystery

The Party

Jessica Hart and her friend Alice McCoy decide to throw a party to get to know all the new guys and other people at their new school, Tabb High. Jessica and Alice could never have expected that anything could go very wrong…as wrong as murder…

Each of Jessica’s friends were given half a dozen of invitation cards. Having invited six friends each, the party begins…

Was the party a terrible mistake?…

The Dance Part 1

Michael Olson, Alice’s friend is determined to find her killer. Michael suspects Clark, this super mysterious boy who nobody knows about him, who is Alice’s boyfriend.

Is Michael right or is he wrong?

Michael gives Polly, Alice’s big sister, a form that will allow him to view the contents of Alice’s autopsy but Clark takes it away from his new girlfriend, Polly.

Will Michael be able to find what he is searching for?

My ratings: 4/9

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

This book was really a catching story. I was very right about reading this book😄. I love stories where you have a lot of suspense and crime. The bad news is that my next review won’t be on Book 2 of Final Friends because I didn’t find it at my school library and instead, I borrowed Deception Point, by Dan Brown in French. So that will be the next review.

Thanks for reading,

This book was fabulous! I highly recommend reading the two volumes. It seems like even after a first book, the author was still full of amazing ideas to add to it. I loved the story, it was absolutely thrilling! This book is just really gripping and you quite get hooked on it. I still remember completing the story on the same day I borrowed it😀.

Cheers!

The only problem is that Shari Cooper, now in the body of Jean Rodriguez, doesn’t even remember that she was once dead and is now back on Earth among the living…

My ratings: 4/9

Rating: 5 out of 5.

If I have to describe this book, there are so many words I could use to describe it. But for now I will only say that it was beautifully written and AMAZING!! I will definitely read other books by Christopher Pike. I was planning to read Final Friends yet but I guess the book in my school library seems to be borrowed by someone else before I even get there! Anyway, I still have to read Part 2 of Remember Me and as I said in my previous post, my book is still where I have hidden it, as long as other students don’t go peeking in the abandoned bookshelf I hid it in. It was the best place I could find and I was shocked myself to find out that somebody else had used my hiding place to hide one of the Twilight series book, Eclipse, there!

Maybe I should end there itself or otherwise you will all die of boredom. One thing I am sure of is that whenever someone talks to me about books, I end up speaking a lot more than listening to what they have to say😂.

See you again soon!

My favourite book series

Hello everyone,

So today I am rather posting something different that my usual English and French book reviews as I am going to share my favourite book series. The idea to post this just came to me out of the blue for nearly no specific reasons but it is true, I love telling everyone what I like and what I don’t like.😁

Okay so let’s start:

Series Number 1:

Harry Potter by J.K Rowling

Definitely…of course!

I remember when I was 8 years old, my mom borrowed Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone for me to read and I simply hated it. (Yes it is true😮)

And when I saw my cousin with the book series, I asked him if I could have a look and I don’t even know how, but I was totally immersed in the book. I was like,” Well, I thought I hated the series…”

Since I didn’t have the books at that time, I read the series online on my phone twice. Yes…twice. As soon as I finished reading the last book, I restarted it again.

And I read it again for the third time and another time after a week but unfortunately I was on the third book I still remember on Page 151…. If you want to know the story, click here:

https://readingforfun5.home.blog/2019/11/20/intro-2/

If you have clicked on the link up and read everything, you would see what were the consequences I had to bear. It was for about 5 months.

Okay…let’s move on,

Series Number 2:

A Song Of Ice And Fire by George R.R Martin

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is image-2.png

I think I heard about the film before but I didn’t even know what it was about.

A few months ago, I discovered the book on my phone when I was scrolling through an ebook app on my phone. I don’t even know why but I felt as if I had to read the series. Incredible, I never read a book without knowing what it is about but I think some instinct made me read them. I was totally right, I was hooked on them I even downloaded the books on my phone in case I lost them. I was just reading and reading and reading.

Series Number 3:

Thirst by Christopher Pike

So well, I discovered this book by the purest of accident and I never knew I was interested in vampires.

Here is the story:

I was in my school’s library, the place where I hang out most often, alone because I don’t have many friends, I like being alone, and none of my friends share my interests.

So I found this book. I found the cover interesting but I didn’t read it and also because you only had book 3.

I found out that my enemy was reading it. Since I wanted to know what it was about and fortunately my desk is just in front of hers, I heard her talking in hushed voices about the book but fortunately I could hear.

At home, I googled the book and I found it so interesting I read it on the spot, downloading it and devouring it.

Well, so I think that all. Ooops, I think I forgot. Anyways all of my favourite book series are rated 5/5 stars and I highly recommend them.

Cheers,

Hermione
