Books I Want From Barnes 'n Noble

Lord Loss by Darren Shan. I'm not one for horror novels, but after reading The Devouring and having a best friend who lives for horror and gore, I'm willing to check out the first book in the series to see if I'll like it as much as Chelsea did.

Synopsis:
Grubbs Grady has stiff red hair and is a little big for his age, which means he can get into R-rated movies. He hates history and loves bacon, rats, and playing tricks on his squeamish older sister. When he opts out of a family weekend trip, he never guesses that he is about to take a terrifying journey into darkness. Hungry demons and howling werewolves haunt his waking nightmares... and threaten his life.


A Living Nightmare by Darren Shan. Another horror series that is supposed to be good. Even Heidi's friend Eli said it was the best series he's come across. Plus they're making a movie out of it. It seems that the movie is based off the second book though..

Synopsis:
In the tradition of Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot,' Cirque Du Freak is the frightening saga of a young boy whose visit to a mysterious freak show leads him on a journey into a dark world of vampires. Filled with grotesque creatures, murderous vampires, and a petrifying ending, Cirque Du Freak will chill, thrill, and leave readers begging for more



Soulstice by Simon Holt. Of course I'm going to be getting the sequel to The Devouring. It's a necesity the next time I go to Barnes 'n Noble (because they don't have the darn book at Wal-mart).

Synopsis:
It's been six months since Reggie first discovered and fought against the Vours, malicious and demonic beings that inhabit human bodies on the eve of the Winter Solstice. The Vours still haunt Reggie, but only in her dreams-until one night, when an unexpected visitor turns her nightmares into reality.



Unwind by Neal Shusterman. I read the first chapter of this and I'm already hooked. It's another book that Chelsea likes and suggested to me after I suggested The Host to her.

Synopsis:
Connor, Risa, and Lev are running for their lives. The Second Civil War was fought over reproductive rights. The chilling resolution: Life is inviolable from the moment of conception until age thirteen. Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, however, parents can have their child "unwound," whereby all of the child's organs are transplanted into different donors, so life doesn't technically end. Connor is too difficult for his parents to control. Risa, a ward of the state is not enough to be kept alive. And Lev is a tithe, a child conceived and raised to be unwound. Together, they may have a chance to escape—and to survive.


Do any of these books appeal to you?
