Needby Carrie Jones
Bloomsbury USA, 2008
320 pages
Summary: After the death of her step-father, a bereft Zara moves to a small town in Maine to live with her grandmother. Zara's life changes dramatically, her new friends are not what they seem to be, she is being stalked by the supernatural, and she uncovers a family secret tied to the disappearance of young men in the area.
Review: A young adult novel with Twilight commonalities, Need is a fast and fun read. The author, Carrie Jones, creates extremely likable characters and a great romance between our heroine and her hero. My only concern was the action packed ending, where I found myself confused over how the plan was implemented. I just chalked it up to my lack of knowledge in regards to railroad materials. Overall, a paranormal young adult novel that I recommend reading. Rating: ***1/2 out of 5.

I don't think I'll read this, but I like the title and the name Zara.
That cover is unusual. Hope you enjoy the book Jess.
I've had this out from the library a few times but never got to it. I'm not in too much of a hurry.
The cover for this book is one that caught my attention when I first saw it. I don't think I'll be reading it soon, though, as my TBR list is starting to overwhelm me.
Jess: I've given you an award. You can pick it up at my blog.
