In a small New England town, over half a century ago, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers. Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister.

With Jamie, the Reverend shares a deeper bond based on a secret obsession. When tragedy strikes the Jacobs family, this charismatic preacher curses God, mocks all religious belief, and is banished from the shocked town.

Wed to his guitar from the age of thirteen, he plays in bands across the country, living the nomadic lifestyle of bar-band rock and roll while fleeing from his family's horrific loss. In his mid-thirties -- addicted to heroin, stranded, desperate -- Jamie meets Charles Jacobs again, with profound consequences for both men.

Am I dead? No. Not dead, he told me.
But surely not quite alive, either. How could I be? I remembered my name-Mara. But, standing in the ghostly place, still shuddering at the memory of the creeping yellow mist that had awoken me in that strange, silent land, I could recall nothing else about myself.

Movie Review 1: The Maze Runner

The Maze Runner Movie Review
Hello everyone!!! The Maze Runner is a book-to-movie adaptation movie if you don't know, and I really enjoyed reading the books by James Dashner.
There are quite some changes in the movie. Like how the telepathy between Thomas and Teresa is not shown on screens, I am quite disappointed with that. However, that's is the only change that I didn't really like, the rest of the changes actually goes quite well with the movie and I really love them.
I would recommend the movie to everyone!! It is really entertaining and fun to watch. 
I rate it 4/5 stars!!! ;) 
If you have watched the movie and haven't read the books, GO READ THEM!!! THE BOOKS ARE SO FREAKING GOOD!!! 
Hope you guys like this review. Follow me if you like the contents, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Mortal Danger By Ann Aguirre
LOOK AT THAT COVER!!! ITS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
This book is really interesting, I am about 100+ pages in, and it is really amazing. I recommend it to everyone. I would be doing a review on it after I finish reading it.

Summary: Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Edie Kramer has a score to settle with the beautiful people at Blackbriar Academy. Their cruelty drove her to the brink of despair, and four months ago, she couldn't imagine being strong enough to face her senior year. But thanks to a Faustian compact with the enigmatic Kian, she has the power to make the bullies pay. She's not supposed to think about Kian once the deal is done, but devastating pain burns behind his unearthly beauty, and he's impossible to forget.
In one short summer, her entire life changes, and she sweeps through Blackbriar, prepped to take the beautiful people down from the inside. A whisper here, a look there, and suddenly... bad things are happening. It's a heady rush, seeing her tormentors get what they deserve, but things that seem too good to be true usually are, and soon, the pranks and payback turns from delicious to deadly. Edie is alone in a world teeming with secrets and fiends lurking in the shadows. In this murky morass of devil's bargains, she isn't sure who—or what--she can trust. Not even her own mind...
