Thirteen Days to Midnight

If you could have one superpower... what would it be? A book by New York Times bestselling author Patrick Carman.

Summary: YOU ARE INDESTRUCTIBLE. These are the words that transfer an astonishing power to Jacob Fielding... and they change everything. When Ophelia James, the beautiful and daring new girl in town, suggests they use the power to save others, Jacob readily accepts. But with every heroic act, the powers grows stronger and soon feels more like a curse. After all, how do you decide who lives and who dies?

Jacob has only thirteen days to harness this terrifying power... and to answer a chilling question: What if, in order to save the girl her loves, he has to kill her?

"Patrick Carman is really, really good." James Patterson, bestselling author

My Review: This book I picked up for six dollars at a closing Borders, and loved it. It's a book you don't want to put down until you're finished. Though very dark, it did have its light and funny moments that made it enjoyable and not so scary that you can't read it at night without giving yourself nightmares. It was witty and the characters are all pretty like able so that's a plus. The only part that annoyed me was when, near the end of the book, Jacob the main character began reading a journal entry written in italics that was maybe three or four pages long. I found that bit hard to read due to italics. Otherwise a wonderful book. I'd recommend it for both boys and girls from ages 12 and up.

I know I've said this a million and one times before but I'm going to say it again until it sinks in, I can't due this whole reading revolution thing by myself. I NEED help.

Maybe you have a book you'd like me to read and review, let me know! You can also share your thoughts with me on twitter @Teen_Reads_Ref.
