My rating for this book is a 4 because the book is pretty good but I don't really like the "horror" part of it.

Summary:

This is about a girl named Barbra Gordan. She was shot and is paralyzed from her hips down. She is admitted into a rehab facility which is pretty suspicious. She can hear voices in the walls and once patients start going missing she starts investigating.

Rating: 2

My rating for this book is a 2 because the book is bland in my opinion and does not have intensive detail. This book failed to get my interest and I believe the main reason was not enough detail and the plot was very predictable.

Summary:

This is about a girl Lola. Her father is missing and everyone says that he died. Lola in disbelief starts trying to find him. She then has a story which is created that will be unique throughout her life.

Rating: 4 My rating for this book is a 4 because the book had a great plot line and it was well written. I also think that the book was using too much suspense at times which is why this is not a 4.5.
