Genre: fantasy
Synopsis: (from Goodreads) Jacque Pierce was just an ordinary 17-year-old girl getting ready to start her senior year in high school in Coldspring, Texas. When a mysterious foreign exchange student from Romania moves in across the street, Jacque and her two best friends, Sally and Jen, don't realize the last two weeks of their summer are going to get a lot more interesting.
Review: This is a fast and easy read for those of you interested in finding something fun. If you liked Twilight, you'll like this. If you didn't like Twilight because you hated Bella, you'll also like this. In fact, while I'm not SURE about it, I think this could be a fanfic based on Twilight. There is a main lead, (Jacque/Bella) with two girl friends (Jen/Rose; Sally/Alice), and three boys (Fane/Edward; Decebel/Emmett; Costin/Jasper). If that's your jam, go for it. If it isn't, don't be turned away by this -- this is a good shapeshifting novel series that are all free on iBooks / Android library!
Reading Level: This book series is really easy to get into and follow. I'd recommend it to anyone in my classes.
