Farah and Roc decided to work together to find out what happened to Crawly.While doing this they stumble upon things they can't believe are true one of them being Crawly lives. Crawly introduces them to many things ,he teaches them how to survive against evil creatures that want to take over the world. Crawly wants to bring George Washington back to life. He believes with the right magic and alignment of the moon and stars and buildings and such it will work and George will save America. Rocky fathers a baby with Bobbi ,Farahs best friend who gets turned into a vampire by the man who wants to rule the world. They have to take care of the half vampire /human baby which is very hard. Roc and Farah fall in love as they manage to take care of the baby. They go on dangerous capers and get attacked but seem to survive Now do they save the world? Maybe I thought this story was very well organized in time. Meaning extremely creative,linking vampires and the destruction of America back to George Washington. Of course there has always been magic but not that anyone has ever believed it or actually admitted it I really enjoyed the story. All the lining up of the stars confused me when they brought George back to life but I understand why. For me that;s all that matters. I'm hoping there is another book I didn't want it to end the way it did not knowing. Would love to know how Tink grows up. All the creatures out there we don't notice are hard to believe but I might walk a little faster past people with a shopping cart on 5th st.

Dare You To by Katie McGarry

Beth has had a hard life growing up , her Uncle Scott rescues her and tries giving her a better life. Beth is in constant battle with her feelings of love,trust and loyalty to her mother and her friends she left behind. She realizes she can actually live the Good life have decent friends that care for her and trust and love a male that won't hurt her. It takes a while but finally it all comes together . This book was really down to earth in lots of ways . The characters had feelings they just didn't go from page to page sitting there. They had real life situations that happen today . Reading this could really help someone their age realize they have choices and options if they take the time to sort them out. I will definitely read something else written by Katie McGarry. I stayed up late two nights but it was worth being sleepy at work.

Oh I just love it better than a movie at times. Wanting more Oh yes! Will we get it ? I hope so hmm let me write a letter to the Manipulator.
