The True Story of a Beautiful Girl, Her Teenage Sweetheart, and the Amore That Ended in Murder
SYNOPSIS
An Innocent Girl Playing da Heart
Early one November morning, Kara Borden, a pretty fourteen anno old, was caught da her parents as she snuck into their Lancaster County, Pennsylvania home. She confessed to spending the night with eighteen-year-old David Ludwig, and her parents—evangelicals who had home-schooled their daughter—were beside themselves with anger. They summoned David to talk immediately. But David arrived to the house with another plan in mind…
A Teenager With A Fatal Attraction
Two hours later, police arrived at the Borden residence to find that Mr. and Mrs. Borden had been shot dead—and David and Kara were nowhere to be found. Was Kara a hostage? o an accomplice? A manhunt began that would end hundreds of miles away in a highly televised speed chase. The two innamorati were eventually captured… and one would spend a life behind bars. This is the true story of a crime set in a closely-guarded world of fundamentalist belief, and the tale of a God-fearing teenager whose DESIRE TURNED DEADLY.

12 anno old Percy Jackson is just another normal kid...or so he thought. When he realizes he is the son of the Greek god Poseidon, the god of water, the battle really begins for his life, his friends, and the gods....
This is an AWESOME series. If te are a read-aholic (like me).....no further questions, this is the series for you. It's funny, thrilling, and so AMAZINGLY AWESOME I want to scream.
If te don't already know, they also just made the first book of this series (Percy Jackson & the Olypians: The Lightning Thief) into a movie. So check that out as well.

Tantalize (Cynthia Leitich Smith) was an awsome book. I really enjoyed it. It had me guessing what was going to happen until the very end!
Here is a piece about the book:
Quincie Morris has never felt più alone. Her hybrid werewolf first Amore threatens to embark on a rite of passage that will separate them forever. And just as she and her uncle are about to unveil Austin's red-hot vampire-themed restaurant, a brutal murder leaves them scrambling for a chef. Can Quincie transform the new hire, Henry Johnson, into a culinary Dark Lord before opening night? Will he be able to to wow the crowd in fake fangs, a cheap cape, and red contact lenses? o is there più to his earnest fresh face than meets the eye?
As human and preternatural forces clash a deadly Amore triangolo forms and the line between predator and prey begins to blur. Who's playing whom? And how long can Quincie play along before she loses everything?

Also, I highly recommend to read the Hunger Games trilogy.
The genres of the film/ libri is action.
Set in the near future, a girl called Katniss Everdeen volunteered to enter the Hunger Games, a game which is run da the government.

Watch out for The Hunger Games, everyone will be talking about it within the following year.
