I loved this book. Although it wasn't the first book, but reafing these book seperatle didn't make it less awesome. The book has three stories in there. Dark Angel, a story of Gillian Lenox, and how she dies while trying to save someone after hearing a cry for help. Before she can cross to the other side, Angel, her supposedly guardian angel brings her back to life. He will make her every wish come true. But is he really her guardian angel? And at what price? The second story, The Chosen, is about Rashel, a vampire hunter. After seeing her mom and little brother get killed by a vampire when she was younger, Rashel sets out to killnany vampire out there. But when she captures the legendary vampire Quinn, she finds herself unable to kill him after looking into his unbelievably gorgeous eyes. Turns out their soulmates, but can Rashel find it in herself to truly love him and hate him for who he is? The third book, Soulmate, is about Hannah who keeps having these reoccuring dreams of a man. Turns out that her past reincarnation, during the caveman times, fell in love with one of the oldest vampires of all times, Thierry. But she soon dies of circumstances, and is reborn again and agian to meet Thierry. But like all past reincarnations, she dies before she reaches 17. Will she die again, never to live her life out with Thierry, or will she have her happily ever after?

This is the second book to Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles, and sequel to Cinder. This book was kindok okay. I wouldn't claim it to be the best. The story is a retelling of Red Riding Hood this time, and also different point of views from Cinder after she escapes her prison. Scarlet, our narrator, comes home to find that her granny is missing. Desperate to find her, she pairs up with handsome and wolfish Wolf to find her granny. Not only does Scarlet find herself falling for Wolf, but finds out that her grandma may have been a part of sneaking Cinder away when she was young because Cinder was royalty. What she doesn't know is that Wolf was part of the plan to kidnap her grandma and lure her back to the hideout. Ok...getting too far ahead. I wouldn't want to tell you the whole story, right?

This book was the most depressing book I have ever read and analyxed for my class. Paul and his friends enlist for the German army during WWI, fooled by false patriotism, and soon realizes that war was not what they had been told of. Through out the whole book Paul goes through the war, and is the most down to earth out of all of his friends. He looks at nature, and how no matter how they destroy it, it always comes back. But when men dies, they just die. One after the other his friends die. Till the end, he realizes that he can not go back to society because he is transformed so much by war, that he is unable to return the same. Due to this, his generation was considered the Lost Generation. In the end, when his last and oldest friend, Kat dies, he just breaks. He dies by a bullet through the head, and you just have to wonder, that a seasoned soldier like him will make such a rookie mistake? Or did he just give up?
I would recommend this to: Everyone who like WWI and WWII books
