The House of Paranormal YA

Everneath by Brodi Ashton

“I had been in his arms, but I hadn’t seen his face for a century. It was the same…. ‘You… you’re still the same Nikki. You survived…. I mean, I’ve searched for you—for someone like you—for thousands of years…. You have no idea what this means. This. Never. Happens. Nik, you don’t have to go to the Tunnels. You can stay with me. Become an Everling.’” (Page 5)

Nikki is a seventeen-year-old girl, wrenched from her normal world into Everneath, where she must stay for a century with a guy named Cole. Everneath is a place in-between earth and hell; in this place there are immortal creatures who are called Everling. However, in order to stay immortal they must feed off the energy of humans. Most of the humans, though, do not survive, being fed off, and go to a place called the Tunnels where the humans must spend eternity suffering. However, Nikki survived, because she has special ties to the Everling. After Cole fed off her, she was given a choice: stay with Cole and become an Everling or go to the Tunnels.

Smokeless Fire by Samantha Young

Book Review on Marked by P.C. Cast and Kristen Cast

*May contain spoilers!!!

“Zoey Montgomery! Night has chosen thee; thy death will be thy birth. Night calls to thee; hearken to Her sweet voice. Your destiny awaits you at the House of Night!” He lifted one long, white finger and pointed at me” (P.C. and Kristin Cast 3).

Marked by P.C Cast and Kristen Cast is about a sixteen-year-old girl named Zoey who, on top of being a teenager, has to deal with a huge change in her life: being marked as a vampyre. After being marked, Zoey must leave her family and friends to go to a boarding school called “House of Night” where all of the marked teenage vampyres must go to be educated and trained on how to live if they survive the “change.” This change is when fledging vampyres become full, adult vampyres and unfortunately some are killed in the process.

Book Review: Mercy by Rebecca Lim

“There’s no discernible pattern to the Carmes, the Lucys, the Susannahs that I have been and become. All I know is that they stretch back in an unbroken chain further that I can remember – I can sense them all there, standing one behind the other, jostling for my attention, struggling to tell me something about my condition.” (Page 30)

Mercy is the story of girl/ angel who has fallen; she has no memory of where she came from, she has no body of her own, and the only thing that she remembers are her physical features. Since she does not have her own body she is forced to dosomethingunnatural: inhabit other people’s bodies and sort of take over their lives. While she is the body of the stranger, that person has no idea what is going on, and, when they come back, have no recollection of what happened — in other words it is as if they are asleep. She has no control over what person she will inhabit next or for how long. The only thing that remains constant in Mercy’s shifting life is Luc. A guy/angel that appears in her dream, she loves him. Luc keeps telling her that she should find him but she does not know how to do that, or where to start.
