 This criminal he’s up against isn’t just the regular type. This one, abducts beautiful young women, and keeps them locked up under his roof. Let me tell you, the details aren’t so pretty.

 Alex must stop this madman who calls himself “Casanova”. But Alex soon finds out that Casanova isn’t easy to catch. Alex is just about to give up when Casanova abducts Alex’s niece! Now, it is up to Alex, and his partner, Sampson, to catch Casanova, and find the women. Will Alex and Sampson catch Casanova? Will they find the other women AND his niece? The answers to all these questions and more… will be found! Just read, Kiss the Girls, by James Patterson.

 My Rating:

I would give this book a 9 out of 10. I really loved the book and the plot. It was just that the details weren’t so… “kid friendly”. But I’d recommend this book to young adults and adults. Both women and men.

Thanks for Reading!

When Wanderer was driving to see someone to talk to about her constant dreams, the voice that was Melanie’s inside Wanderer’s head said, “Jared and Jamie are close by.  Go find them.”  Before Melanie had a soul inside her, she lived with Jared at Uncle Jeb’s house in the desert.  The desert where Jared still lived was close by.  After long hiking days in the desert, Wanderer gave up.  She laid down on the desert sand, closed her eyes,and waited for herself to die of thirst and hunger… but then, some liquid touched her lips.  When Wanderer opened her eyes, she saw Melanie’s uncle, Jeb, giving her water and saving her!

Uncle Jeb took Wanderer to his house and he was the only one who respected her because the rest of the people who lived in his house were humans, when people like wanderer were taking over the universe.  A lot of people wanted to kill her, including Jared!  The longer Melanie stayed, more people started to respect her and talk to her about all her adventures.  When Jamie, Melanie’s little brother asked,”What is your name now?”  Wanderer replied, “My name is Wanderer.”  Jamie started to call her Wanda for short.  Later on, Wanda became her name.

Living with all of Melanie’s friends are a blast, but they are many ups and downs.  Some people want Melanie back, and the only way there is, is to have a doctor take the soul out of her body.  Many people want Wanda to stay with them and help the whole house out.  What decision will Wanda make?  If you want to find out what happens, read the book the host, by Stephenie Meyer.

This book took me a while to read.  It was a fantastic book and I would rate it a 9 out of 10 10 being the best.  I would also recommend this book to boys and girls, ages 11 and up.  Thank you for reading my blog and I hope you enjoyed it!

There are no possible words in the world than can explain my passion for this book!! I think it is the best out of the four but, others think it is too wrapped up around Renesemee. I wish the series would go on FOREVER, now that the series is over, I’m breathless. There’s nothing around to read….NOTHING! Though, I’m finding some pretty good books, nothing will be like my obsession for the Twilight Saga.
Stephenie Meyer really captures your heart, stings it, and then lets it go with the obsession of wanting more in this particular book.

But, think about it, If you could live forever……..what would you live for? At least you know what Edward and Bella CULLEN would live for, each other. =D

I loved this book so much. There are only about 3 or 4 innappropriate parts but, it’s awesome! I totally recommend it for girls more than boys. There is also some language that shouldn’t be said. I think that the author, Sara Shepard, wrote this book with passion and creativity. I loved it!
ENJOY!
