The Dark Heroine by Abigail Gibbs

I read somewhere once that this girl was nineteen when she wrote this (or younger and it got published at 19). That has to be a huge thing for any author. Yes she may only just be getting into it, yes she has years till she become great but the point is that at nineteen she still had a huge fan base. (enough to get published!) I've read a few reviews where people say allsorts of bad things. In truth at that ages most novelists can not get published. I say good for her. At least she's gone with her dream. At least she put in the effort. Eventually the more she writes the better she will become.... I really enjoyed this book, yes it has it's flaws but so do people. Once I picked it up I had to pry it from my hands just to sleep for the night. The action starts from the very beginning which I thought finally. Violet Lee is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Trafalgar square. Where she ends up hidden (after a night out) while Vampires kill Hunters.

True Fire by Gary Meehan

This starts off with a girl sixteen years old, pregnant. Sneaking out of her house where she lives with her grandfather and twin sister Gwyneth. Parents long dead. Her name is Megan and her plan is to meet the father of her baby Wade, who ran off when she told him she was with child. (JERK.) She met Wade because her sister was with hid brother (Holt) and coerced her into being with him. While she's with him near the corn fields basically arguing they hear loud cries (must be fighting at a tavern) Alas no It is the whole village screaming. Wade makes her hide and goes to see what's happening (although I'm pretty certain he hide her on purpose because he knew something and was scared for her) A man in black armour cuts his head clean off with an axe. *ARGH WTF*
