Roadside Assistance Review

                I have finished reading Roadside Assistance by Amy Clipston. I loved this book. The conclusion was well-written and the problems were resolved very well. If you have read this book you know that even though Whitney isn't a main character, she is a round character. She develops and changes throughout the story. At the beginning of the story Emily, the main character, describes Whitney as a snobby, rich girl who gets everything handed to her. She doesn't like her Aunt or cousin and hates that she has to move in with them.

               At the end of the story, Whitney and Emily's Aunt come around and prove to be kind, loving people who just want to make Emily happy. All of the things they did that Emily thought was out of pity was really out of love and generosity. Zander and Emily get back together which, if you read the book makes you happy. At the very end of the book when Emily finally gets back to her faith and everything is coming to a close, an unexpected twist occurs.

             When her dad is at work, he slices his arm with a tool in the car shop and almost dies from blood loss. Emily was very scared and upset while her father was in surgery. The doctor was worried he would lose function in his arm but after some rehabilitation Emily's dad will be fine. I think the incident actually made Emily closer to Christ which is a very good ending to this amazing story. I would recommend you read it if you haven't.

Roadside Assistance Continued...

         I have continued reading Roadside Assistance by Amy Clipston. I am really enjoying this book. On my last post I said that I was more interested in who "the boy next door" was. I have found out more about his character. He has extremely blue eyes that contrast with his dark hair. He loves to work on cars just like Emily. He is cute and polite and his name is Zander Stewart. Emily likes him but is nervous to talk to him.
        
          So far in the book, Emily Curtis, moves into a huge house with her snotty rich Aunt and cousins (Logan and Whitney). Whitney is a popular, cheerleader, social butterfly. Emily is the opposite. Her and her dad love to work in the garage on cars and Emily isn't popular or social. She rights in her diary. She doesn't write "Dear Diary". She writes "Dear Mom" instead because she died of cancer.

          She's leaving for the first day of school and almost crashes into Zander when pulling out of the driveway. When Whitney picks up her friend Kristen they gossip about school and also think Zander is really cute. The way the narrator describes Zander foreshadows that they will fall in love throughout the story. I wonder what will happen next...

Started Roadside Assistance!

           Roadside Assistance, by Amy Clipston, seems to be a very good book so far. I don't usually read realistic fiction because I usually don't like realistic fiction, but this book is really good. It's also romance and the only other romance and realistic fiction book that I have thoroughly enjoyed is The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green. But who hasn't read and enjoyed that book? If you like this genre I would definitely recommend this book.

         I just started reading Roadside Assistance. The author gets straight to the point and you don't have to read a ton of boring introduction in the beginning. The characters are well developed. The main character is a girl who doesn't like to stand out. She is kind of anti-social, she loves working on cars and she is a little depressed because her dad doesn't have a job and her mother just died of cancer. This is a good character because she has a personality, a hobby, and has struggled with loss in the past.

       I am excited to learn more about "the boy next door". Emily (the main character) and her dad move in with her Aunt and her cousin, Whitney, who are a little bit on the snotty rich side. The only positive thing about the move is the boy next door. So far I don't know much about him, but I can tell he is going to be what makes this book a romance novel. I can tell I am going to like this book. :)

The Secret Vampire (The First Book in the Night World Series)

             I read The Secret Vampire by L.J. Smith. This amazing author has also written the series, The Vampire Diaries, which is another great book series that you may have heard of. This series  has also actually become a very entertaining TV show. I love this book because I love the genre. "The Vampire Craze" lives on in my mind. I got into all the vampire books a little late. For example, I just read the Twilight series this past year and I loved it! Since then I have read other vampire books and have really enjoyed them. So if you like fantasy, romance and anything involving vampires and witches, I would suggest you read this book.

             This book is about a girl, named Poppy, who is diagnosed with terminal cancer. She had absolutely no chance of survival until her best friend, James reveals his secret, He is a vampire! So he decides that her only chance at life is to turn her into a vampire. There is only one problem. She must fake her death, because no one can know she is a vampire. It goes against the laws of the Night World-the world of vampires, witches and werewolves. Since vampires don't age, people will eventually figure out she is a vampire. So with the help of James and Poppy's brother, Phil who finds out about vampires, Poppy fakes her death. When she wakes up she is thirsty for blood but doesn't know how to feed without stopping, which could kill the victim. Throughout everything, Poppy and James have fallen in love and they are soul mates, until James' cousin comes to town. His name is Ash. He rips Poppy from James when he tells her that she is putting James in danger by being around him because she is an illegal vampire, So they run away leaving James behind. If you want to know what happens next, pick this book off the shelf!

              This book is very well written. I love all the characters and their personalities. James, the good guy who will do anything to protect Poppy. Poppy, the innocent girl who just wants to make everything right. Ash, the unpredictable bad boy and Phil, the overprotective yet annoying brother. This book grabs you and pulls you in with all of it's twists and turns. Read and enjoy! :)
