A loEighteen-year-old Stan Duncan (who loves sci-fi/pulp comics) falls for beautiful Serafina, who claims she is from the galaxy Euphoria, or is she? A lovely and unusual read with warm characters and an absorbing storyline. I liked the old-fashioned feel of the book. Serafina was quite a mysterious heroine and I was curious to see how everything would work out in the end. Another great read by Bobby Underwood....more

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I really loved the Hawaiian setting, I felt like I was there. Most of the characters were likable, and the bad guys sinister. I was wondering what Takeo was up to with his mysterious project/experiments. I was worried about Michael and his friends when they got ill. I liked Katherine, she was a good female lead, as she tried to figure out was what going on with her son. I also enjoyed the exciting conclusion.

I really enjoyed this short-story. It was very engrossing, strange and different from what I usually read. I was curious to see what was going to happen, and I had a hard time putting the book down. This is my first read by Blake Crouch and I look forward to reading more by this author. ...more

The story mostly deals with a girl named Samantha who is cataloging plant samples to take before she leaves with the final people on the Ark. An interesting and different story. It would've been nice if it was a little longer to see what happens to the people in the future who are on the Ark.

A fellow student (MarThriller about high school teenagers (mostly the ones on the football team and cheerleaders) who are beginning to act strangely. A fellow student (Mary) guns some down at a party, claiming they are monsters. Her best friend Angela thinks Mary is losing her mind, but later on, she starts to believe her.
This was a very captivating and well written book. But I ended up not liking the main character (Angela) and I found her and her attitude annoying, which spoiled my enjoyment of the story. I also wasn’t happy with a lot of characters I liked getting killed. An okay read by Christopher Pike....more
