Author : Holly Black Category : Science Fiction Format : Hardcover (325 pages) Publisher : Margaret K. McElderry (5 April 2011) Language : English ISBN-10 : 144240339X ISBN-13 : 978-1442403390
Goodreads Description : Curses and cons. Magic and the mob. In Cassel Sharpe's world, they go together. Cassel always thought he was an ordinary guy, until he realized his memories were being manipulated by his brothers. Now he knows the truth—he’s the most powerful curse worker around. A touch of his hand can transform anything—or anyone—into something else.
That was how Lila, the girl he loved, became a white cat. Cassel was tricked into thinking he killed her, when actually he tried to save her. Now that she's human again, he should be overjoyed. Trouble is, Lila's been cursed to love him, a little gift from his emotion worker mom. And if Lila's love is as phony as Cassel's made-up memories, then he can't believe anything she says or does.
When Cassel's oldest brother is murdered, the Feds recruit Cassel to help make sense of the only clue—crime-scene images of a woman in red gloves. But the mob is after Cassel too—they know how valuable he could be to them. Cassel is going to have to stay one step ahead of both sides just to survive. But where can he turn when he can't trust anyone—least of all, himself?
Love is a curse and the con is the only answer in a game too dangerous to lose.
My Thougth : After the ending of White Cat, Red Glove starts with Cassel and his mom running scams on other people. After what his mom did to Lila, Cassel tries to avoid Lila until the curse fade away. Cassel returns to Wallingford and he's so surprised when Lila also goes to Wallingford because she can't stay away from him.
The things getting more complicated when his oldest brother, Philip, is murdered by someone who wears red glove. The Feds come after him to solve the case. At the same time, Lila's father want him to work for him. With his friend's help, Cassel tries to solve all of the problem.
After read White cat, I really can't wait for read this one. Red Glove is a great book, and the ending is shocking. Red Glove is better than White Cat. Cassel is amazing. I love him even more after read Red Glove. In this book, we can find a perfect mix between crime, mystery, mob, magic and romance. If you like White cat, you would enjoy Red Glove. I highly recommend Red Glove.
Goodreads Description : One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.
Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.
The cover for insurgent was revealed. If the cover for Divergent has Dauntless symbol, in this cover we can see Amity symbol along with the tagline "One choice can destroy you". Based on the interview with Veronica Roth in Entertainment Weekly, we know that the factions there were not featured in Divergent will have a more prominent role in Insurgent. From the interview and the cover, I think Amity would have a big role in Insurgent. Overall, the cover is great. I love it.
I'm so excited to read the book and learn more about the other factions and Four's past. I can't wait for the book to come out. What about you ??? What do you think about the cover ??? the picture, the tagline

Goodreads description : I met someone who changed everything. Matthias. My autistic sister's guardian angel. Honest. Inspiring. Funny. Hot. And immortal. That was the problem. What could I do? I did what any other girl would do-I fell in love with him. Zoe's sister darts in front of cars. Her brother's a pothead. Her parents are so overwhelmed; they don't see Zoe lost in her broken life. Zoe escapes the only way she knows how: partying. Matthias, a guardian sent from Heaven, watches over Zoe's autistic sister. After Zoe is convinced he's legit, angel and lost girl come together in a love that changes destiny. But Heaven on Earth can't last forever.
My Thought : Heavenly is a beautiful story about a girl who fall in love with an angel. The story not only about relationship between Zoe and Matthias, but also about Zoe's relationship with her friend and family. Zoe feels that her parents abandon her because they have to deal with her autistic sister, Abria. She also finds out that her brother, Luke, is a drug-addicted. To escape from her problem, she is partying and drinking. But when Zoe meets Matthias, Abria's guardian angel, she feels more peaceful. Accidentally, Zoe touchs Matthias and he becomes her guardian angel. And then she realizes that she falls in love with Matthias.
I got a review copy of this book from the author. From all of her book I've ever read, Heavenly is the best. I love how Zoe struggles to be better person and how she tries to save her family and friend. Behind all of the bad thing she do, Zoe is a good and caring person. She is very likeable. And I like how her family stick together to face their problem. I cried when I read the ending of this book. I highly recommend Heavenly.

Goodreads Description : Each night when 16 year-old London Lane goes to sleep, her whole world disappears. In the morning, all that's left is a note telling her about a day she can't remember. The whole scenario doesn't exactly make high school or dating that hot guy whose name she can't seem to recall any easier. But when London starts experiencing disturbing visions she can't make sense of, she realizes it's time to learn a little more about the past she keeps forgetting-before it destroys her future. Part psychological drama, part romance, and part mystery, this thought-provoking novel will inspire readers to consider the what-if's in their own lives and recognize the power they have to control their destinies.
My Thougth : London Lane is a teenage girl who can't remember her past, but can see the future. Even if she can't remember everything from her past, London tries to live a normal life. Every morning, London has to read her notes to remind her of her past because at 4:33 am London’s memory is wiped clean. When she meets Luke Henry, a new boy in her school, she instantly attracted to him. London feels like she know him but she can't see him on the future. London starts to have a weird dream about a funeral. With Luke's help, London tries to discover the mystery about her memory.
I really enjoy this book. Forgotten is written with a good pace. Romance and mystery in this book would keep us interesting. the romance in this book is really sweet. I like how Luke's and London's relationship blossoms. When I read the book, I think London is lucky girl because she can fall in love with Luke, but always feels like it's the first time. And the mystery makes me can't put the book because I can't wait to know the answer of all of the mystery. I highly recommend Forgotten.
