Review of 'The Prophecy of the Stones'

               Today, I finished reading 'The Prophecy of the Stones' by Flavia Bujor. It was an exciting read and a complete change from the last book I read ( 'Alphas').

               It is about three young women who are tied to stones. Its like Amber is tied to the stone amber,and if she dies the stone would also be destroyed. Amber,Opal and Jade.They are the ones who have to complete an ancient prophecy. They embark on the quest to destroy The Army of Darkness and bring peace to the land of Fairytale. Its not an easy quest. A practically impossible one at that. Untold evil lies ahead of them, where anything or anybody could kill them on sight. At the same time, in a parallel world, Joa fights for her life where her survival depends on Amber,Opal and Jades quest.

             It is quite an exciting novel where surprise and thrill is frequent. Girls and boys 10+ can read this book.

Review of 'Alphas'

      Two days hence,I finished reading the 261 paged novel 'Alphas' by Lisi Harrison. It is published by Little,Brown and Company and is a fun and casual read.

      This book revolves around five girls who get a chance at The Alpha Academy, which is an institution reserved for the most talented hundred girls in the world.

      The girls are very excited to get in the academy but they all have their own share of problems.While Skye is neck deep in false accusations,Allie has committed identity theft.Charlie has been offered a last minute position too,but is asked to dump her boyfriend in exchange. Triple finds her out of this world, and is criticized for it. Reenee has trouble appreciating others and can't resist flirting with boys,which is considered illegal in the school. While the girls juggle with their problems, they also have to adjust in their all new classes. Who will last? Out of hundred exuberant but mean girls, who will survive? Who will  become the alpha?

     This book is an interesting and fun read for girls (strictly girls!!) and is very gripping. All girls 12 and up can curl up with this in hand and enjoy a nice day at home!!
     Don't forget to catch up with the second book in the series!
