Goodreads Info:

Can there truly be love after death?

Drifting in the dark waters of a mysterious river, the only thing Amelia knows for sure is that she's dead. With no recollection of her past life—or her actual death—she's trapped alone in a nightmarish existence. All of this changes when she tries to rescue a boy, Joshua, from drowning in her river. As a ghost, she can do nothing but will him to live. Yet in an unforgettable moment of connection, she helps him survive.

Amelia and Joshua grow ever closer as they begin to uncover the strange circumstances of her death and the secrets of the dark river that held her captive for so long. But even while they struggle to keep their bond hidden from the living world, a frightening spirit named Eli is doing everything in his power to destroy their newfound happiness and drag Amelia back into the ghost world . . . forever.

Thrilling and evocative, with moments of pure pleasure, Hereafter is a sensation you won't want to miss.

My Thoughts:  (I have this book 5 Stars)

First to let you know I found this book to be truly breath-taking. I so immensely enjoyed reading this book that I was thinking of the story long after I read it. The story-line was brilliant, fun, and ever so much a hunting tale to leaves you wanting more.  Author, Tara Hudson wrote such a impeccable story with so much charm and pose in her writing style. I was blown away by how intriguing Hereafter was, and loved the character's. I love when I can fall in love with a character in a book simply by how the author describes there actions, words, and traits. This was one of those books where if you put the book down your always wondering what will happen next. The whole aspect of this book was a fun, refreshing, and outstanding read. Everything about Hereafter was so prefect and I really enjoyed reading it. This is a story of a girl named, Amelia and not of her life but her death. Only after waking up from a horrible drowning she knows she is no longer alive but dead and keeps having to relive her death only to wake up in the graveyard were her body is now buried. Two things Amelia now knows are true, is one she does not know why she died, and two Joshua is able to see her. After seeing him by the river as he drove his car into it by accident and watching his almost drown she comes to find out that he is able to see her but why? Who said you can't have a friend in the afterlife?! Amelia and Joshua become more than friends as they begin to uncover the reason for Amelia's death, but someone else who is also not of the living begins to turn her away from what she is likely to find. Eli, a spirit  has other plans for Amelia, more of the frighting nature.  Amelia now has to face the truth about her dead and with who and where she should spend her afterlife with... good or evil? One thing she does know is Joshua loves her dead or alive, but will that be enough to stay with him even know he is among the living. Later Amelia struggles with Eli and his plan to drag her to the ghost world for a very hunting and horrifying new life. The ending of Hereafter will leave longing for more. I want to thank the author Tara for writing such a charming and outstanding book. Your book makes me happy to be reading. Hereafter would be one of my favorite books of 2011 and I would definitely recommend this book to a reader who wants to dive deeper into the paranormal YA genre.

This weeks question is: 

Q. Do you have a favorite series that you read over and over again? Tell us a bit about it and why you keep on revisiting it?

My Answer: Well I used to have a couple books and series I would re-read over and over again until I got more into the book world and now I find myself wanting to read new books all the time, instead of reading the books I love over and over. But a few books I used to read a lot was the Twilight series, a few R.L Stine books and Pride and Prejudice.

Goodreads Info:

Grab some garlic and start sharpening your mother's wooden spoons because there are vampires living in the most unlikely of places.

I’ve always wanted to meet a vampire. Not to stake some poor bloodsucker as he sleeps in his coffin or have some sexy vampiress bite me on the neck, but just to see a creature so rare and infamous. What can I say? Some people want to sail to Easter Island, others want to fling themselves out of an airplane, I want to shake hands with a vampire. Well, maybe I should prioritize getting a girlfriend first, but a vampire sighting is pretty high up on the list. Trust me, a lot of kids my age dream about it. Like my two best friends, Rini and Xander. We spent half the summer searching the most notorious cities in the United States for the undead, but so far, no luck.

That’s why it came as a total shock to discover a living, breathing vampire in our hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. (Okay, so he’s more undead and not breathing, but you get the picture.) At first we were kind of excited, but then pretty freaked because it turns out our new fanged friend has a hold on the city's teenage population and a specific thirst for their blood. Which, in a word—bites.

My Thoughts: ( I give this book 4 Stars )

Let me first start out by saying this book was given to me by the author Adrianne Ambrose for my honest review and I was not sure if I would like the book because I am more used to reading vampire books where the vampire falls in love with the heroine. Fangs for Nothing was not one bit like that and it was refreshing and very fun to read from a male POV. The book starts out where Herbie (a very insecure guy) and his friends Xander and Rini are going to different cities and states around the US looking for proof that Vampires do in fact exist. With no such luck they head home back to there normal lives only to find out one night at a party that there is a Vampire living in there home city all along.  So they finally get to see a Vampire in which they were in search for but soon they will find out more than they bargained for. The Vampire, Vincent  has been offering trades to the young teens in Cleveland, Ohio which Vincent calls "The Chosen".  Herbie and his friends find this out and soon fall within Vincent's charms and start to consider his trade. But would you trade a few pints of your blood to be beautiful and loved? You soon find out that Vincent's offer was to good to past up, and one of Herbie's friends is now in trouble. This Vampire needs to be stopped, young teens are turning up dead and this being blamed as a suicide. Well Herbie knows better and is willing to sharpen some wooden spoons, buy tons of garlic and steal some holy water all to save his friend, and in hopes to rid his city of this evil. 

I found this book to be such a fun, humorous, light read. The story-line was exciting, and very enjoyable. At one point in the middle of the book I could not stop laughing. I literally had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. Adrianne gives the reader of her book a fun mystery with great laughs along the way. I am so happy that I was able to read such a great book and found myself really enjoying the light-heartiness of the story-line. Herbie was such a lively character to read about and bring this book a entertaining and unique hero. I would recommend Fangs For Nothing to any age group, it would be a great little read for tween's. On a different note, the only reason I gave the book 4 stars and not the full 5 stars is because I did notices a few spelling errors along the way and a few sentences were a little off which made it a little harder to read. Other than that I really enjoyed this book and look forward to seeing more work from the Author, Adrianne Ambrose.
