Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer. A review by Hannah Bullamore

The most interesting incident in this book is when the three part book changes back to Bella’s point of view and she wakes up after being transformed into the undead… She wakes as a vampire and sees for the first time her newborn daughter Renesmee. Although Bella had only been unconscious for three days, and that’s how old Renesmee is she looks like a four month old! Her alarming growth gradually slows and that, although still worrying, is pushed behind Bella as she prepares to battle her worst enemies, the Voltori.

I loved the book and all of the previous ones too. It ended on a good note but left room for another book.

The most interesting character in this book is Renesmee as she is half vampire and half human, she can read people’s minds and show people what she wants them to see. She grows rapidly and looks at least twice her age.

The Haunted by Jessica Verday. A review by Hannah Ainsworth

The Haunted is the sequel to The Hollow. This book continues with the main character Abbey after she returns from her stay with her Aunt Marjorie. She had been away for a while, whilst trying to forget the hallucinations she was supposedly having. The most interesting part of this book is when Abbey goes to work for her Uncle at an ice cream shop. She works behind the counter with a girl from school named Aubra. One night Aubra’s boyfriend, Vincent, comes into the shop; they must have had an argument as Abbey could hear shouting. One night when Abbey got back from the shop she went up to her room and found rose petals on her bed. She thought it would be Caspian, but no, it was Vincent. He trashed her room and threw her around the room. Caspian came charging into the room but he was to late, Vincent had taken her.This shocks me as the book, like the hollow, leaves it as a cliff hanger. I hope there is going to be another book because I want to read what is about to happen to Abbey.

I find Vincent very interesting because the way he acts is quite scary. He scares me even though I know he is just a character from a book. At the end of the book it mentions that Vincent is the same as Caspian in many ways except everyone can see Vincent. They are mortal enemies.

The Hollow by Jessica Verday. Reviewed by Hannah Ainsworth

The Hollow is the first book of two, about a girl called Abbey living a tough life after her best friend, Kristen, disappeared. Although Kristen had never been found: her parents held a funeral to mark her death. At the funeral Abbey met a boy called Caspian. Several weeks after the funeral Abbey kept bumping into him and eventually they spoke. To Abbey, Caspian was a normal person who didn’t go to her school but he had a secret, he was a ghost. Abbey and Caspian carried on meeting up and eventually they fell in love. The most interesting part is when Abbey told her parents about Caspian being a ghost, they thought she was going insane, Abbey moved to her Aunt Marjorie’s for a while, until she could realise that he was really dead. The book ended on a cliff hanger.

I find Caspian the most interesting character because he is an illusion for Abbey. Caspian is described with white-blonde hair and a black streak standing out amongst his pale hair colour. Caspian tells Abbey he is there to help her get through life without Kristen but that’s not the only reason he is there for. He says no-one can see him apart from her which must mean something.
