Nine children came to Earth as survivors of a war that killed their planet. Their enemies have followed them to Earth and are hunting down the nine one by one, only the children have to killed in numerical order. Each time a child is killed, a scar appears on their ankle to warn them. This has happened three times and "Daniel" knows he is next. Henri, his guardian, and Daniel try to stay one step ahead but they know one day their enemies will find them. That day has come and "Daniel" must fight for his life because the remaining six must stay alive to help reclaim their world, defeat their enemy, and save Earth from the same fate.
Fascinating, fast-paced, and the beginning of the Lorien Legacies series. Great characters with a wonderful story. This book has already been made into a movie by the same name to be released in February 2011. Can't wait to see the movie and get my hands on the next book in the series.

Virals by Kathy Reichs
Secluded island, secret research on a virus strain that isn't supposed to spread from dogs to humans, murder of a young girl, strange new abilities, and the niece of Dr. Temperance Brennan. What you have is an action-packed, fantastic first YA novel from the bestselling author of the Temperance Brennan books and the FOX TV series BONES. Absolutely loved it and I can't wait for the next one.

The Necromancer by Michael Scott
Josh and Sophie are really in a mess. They haven't learned the magics to protect themselves. Dr. Dee is still hunting the twins. Now they don't know if they can trust Nicholas Flamel because he has kept things hidden from them - bad things. Scatty and Joan have disappeared and are nowhere to be found. Nicholas and Perenelle are rapidly aging because the Codex is in the hands of Dr. Dee. Dr. Dee still doesn't have the last two pages of the Codex but he has figured out a way to rule the world - just raise the Mother of the Earth from the dead and release the monsters on Alcatraz Island.
The Necromancer was just as action-packed as the other books in the series. I am getting tired of Josh being weaker of the twins - he always seems like the one who makes matters worse. I am ready for him to be an equal of Sophie's. There is definitely another book in the series probably titles "The Warlock".
