Shadow & Flame by Mindee Arnett
This book is the gripping sequel to Onyx & Ivory and starts off with an action-filled prologue leading into an epic fantasy. The main character, Kate, and a prisoner named Clash find themselves entwined in an epic conflict and are both faced to make difficult decisions. This book is an instant classic and is hard to put down.
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
Ninth House was interesting and it slowly revealed things about the characters’ back stories until we could see the full picture. About Yale and different secret societies and a girl from L.A. who can see the ghosts on campus.

Meggie and her father, Mo, get sucked into the conflict in the book, a desperate battle against the men of Capricorn in a world where fantasy and fairy tales go wrong…

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling
It was an interesting book. It wasn’t really boring like some books. I feel like there is maybe something better, but it was good. It has great characters and good plot. Overall, it was just a really good book.

Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy
This book start out sad but gets very exciting very quickly. It is also outrageously funny as Skulduggery is soooo funny. he's got a great sense of humor for someone who's been dead for a few hundred years. This book is action packed and is an all around great book.
Keeper of the Lost Cities (series) by Shannon Messenger

The Assassin's Curse by Cassandra Rose Clarke
I rate this book a 5 because it was a really eventful and climatic book. This book is about a girl named Ananna and she was supposed to get married off to another pirate clan but instead, she runs away. The other clan sends an assassin to kill Ananna but instead, she saves his life and he gets a curse that says he has to protect her because she saved his life.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling
It is the last book from the Harry Potter series and it is positively amazing. It is a fantasy with amazing plot twists and great characters.

Harry Potter (series) by J. K. Rowling
It's a very imaginative series that is captivating to all ages, and is a fun but challenging series. Gets a little confusing towards the end, though. Still has role-model characters for young readers to look up to and follow.
