Revived ~Cat Patrick 2

So I have finished my book Revived by Cat Patrick. This book is basically about a live saving drug that will save you once you are dead. But it won't work on sicknesses like cancer. I really liked this book and there wasn't any parts that I felt it was too slow to read. I was always on the edge of my seat. It's a soap opera book. Every single thing going on makes you gasp and makes you feel like it can't be fixed but it can and will somehow that you would have never thought of. And what seemed to be impossible; is possible. Like the TV show Castle:



I think the kind of people who would like this book are people that really like the idea of impossible things made possible. People who like a good drama, romance, and fiction rolled up in a book.

Revived ~ Cat Patrick 1

This author has a very creative mind. With this book there are a group of kids that got in a bus crash. They were rescued by a group of scientists who were testing this medication called Revive. What Revive does is it brings people back from the dead. When they used it on those kids it worked. So the kids became the scientists "guinea pigs". Now when I say it like that, it sounds really mad scientisty. It's not. The scientists take a kid and pretend like the kid's parents. In a way they are. The kids really love them and have grown up with them. One of these kids is Daisy. She has died 5 times. Right now she is 15. Every time she has died she has gotten a new name, new place, new identity. She is used to not getting attached to any place, not to make any good friends because if she does it would be harder to keep Revive a secret. But then she meets Audrey McKean and her gorgeous brother, Matt. Let's us just say she goes against all of her instincts and she gets attached.

Now, I am not done with this book yet. So the most fun thing to do is to make a prediction of course! :)

My first prediction is that Daisy will end up telling Matt about Revive for reasons that only you'll know by reading the book. And after she tells him he will get mad and they will get in a really bad fight but of course like in any romance novel they will find a solution and will make up and live a happily ever after!
" 'I really like you,' Matt continues. 'You're like this good thing that showed up in the middle of the bad. You're sort of helping me remember that there actually is positive stuff out  there.' "(132)

*SPOILER ALERT*

My second prediction is they use Revive on Audrey because she is going to die of cancer. The only reason she hasn't done it yet is because first of all they are supposed to keep it a secret and second of all it won't work on cancer because the body has to die healthy but from a sudden death. With cancer, you always have this illness that you die from. But I predict that they will(and this sounds violent; don't judge) make Audrey die a sudden death before she dies from cancer.
" 'How long did they give her?' I ask.
'Three years,' Matt says. 'It's been two and a half.' " (109)

I have to decided not just to put a prediction but make a connection based on my prediction! I have made text-to-text connection. In the book, Daisy spots Matt in class and immediately thinks he is "flat-out, undeniably, unbelievably, hot."(34) And this happens almost exactly in another book. Can you guess which book I am thinking about? Yep! Twilight!! When Bella sees Edward in the lunchroom, she saw him and thought that he was gorgeous too. And like my prediction they of course get together and live the happily ever after.

In the video is the first time Bella sees Edward and his family.

James Potter and the Hall of Elder's Crossing ~ G. Norman Lippert and Johnny Atomic

One of the book series I'm currently on is in the wizarding world, but it's not Harry Potter. I mean Harry is in it, but not how you would think.

*I just want to tell you right now, if you haven't read the Harry Potter series or watched the movies ALL the way through and you really want to, you might not want to read this blog. It's a sort of a spoiler.*

Harry is a father.

Now if you did read the Harry Potter series or watched the movies all the way through, you might be able to remember the 19 years later epilouge where Harry and Ginny are married and they have 3 kids. James, Albus, and Lily Potter. James is the eldest so he went to Hogwarts first of the three.
This book by G. Norman Lippert and Johnny Atomic. The books starts off when James is getting on the train to Hogwarts.

When James gets there he makes friends, he gets sorted, he tries out for the quidditch team; basically following in his dad's footsteps. But that is not working for James. There is no way that he can follow in his dad's footsteps, like the whole wizarding world expects him to. The footsteps are just too big to fill so he decides to do his own thing but so many prejudices are thrown at him this year that it is a realy hard thing to do.

The book is about James and his adventures at Hogwarts, so if you don't want to leave Hogwarts, then this series is definitly for you.

“The scariest people in the world are not always the ones who are bent on evil, James. Sometimes, the scariest person is the one who mistakes their own lies for truth.”
― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing

Incarceron ~ Catherine Fisher

In Incarceron, Finn led a very hard life. In this bleak world, he is a very rare kind. He is cell-born which means he showed up in a cell with no memories of anything. He was in there for who knows how long and finally he saw a door and opened it. He eventually found his way to where he is now, with his oathbrother.They try to survive. He goes on and adventure trying to get out of Incarceron with his oathbrother, his Sapient, and his servant. He starts as a liar, a person who does stuff only to help himself. Like in the very first chapter he plays the sympathy of a woman just The Comitatus can raid their trucks. This is when Finn was "tied down" on a track to fool the Civicry.

"'No! Please! Please get me up.' They were silent and no one moved, so he took a breath and said tightly, "The Scum raided our Wing. They killed me father and they left me like this for anyone who passed.' He tried to ease the agony in his chest, clenching his fingers on the rusty chain. ' Please. I'm begging you.'"
"Finn moved. He flung the man with the cutters back, Kicked the false bolt off, and wriggled out of the chains."

Finn was pretending to be trapped the whole time so the Civicry would stop so the Comitatus could raid the trucks. Finn does chang throughout the book. While they are trying to escape Finn stops to save one of the servants from the guards that are trying to stop them. He then takes her with them to escape.

"In the uproar and crashing alarns and falling steel he looked back and the eyes of the leprous slave watched him. But it was the Maistra's eues he saw, her voice that spoke inside his mind.
I will never dare show kindness to a stranger again.
Instantly he stooped, hauled the creature onto his back, and climbed."

As you see, Finn felt the guilt about the Maestra's death and decide to save one of the slaves lives and take her with them to the Outside.
