    It's a genre I honestly am quite new to. I am quite curious. I usually prefer romantic/contemporary stories. But, it's fun to change things up.

    Yes, I do read dystopians. If the writing is good it and there is a twist in the reasoning behind the world they can be pretty awesome. I just finished with The Hallowed Ones and thought it was pretty good.

    I read them, although I like those that fall more within the category of urban fantasy. Many of the traditional dystopians seem too formulaic. They are so very predictable, unless there is something of the supernatural/paranormal element involved. Thanks for the great giveaway.

Reading level: Young Adult Hardcover: 272 pages Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers (September 1, 2009) Book summary: The terrifying, nail-biting, and grossly intriguing sequel to The Devouring.  It's been six months since Reggie first discovered and fought against the Vours, malicious and demonic beings that inhabit human bodies on the eve of the Winter Solstice.  The Vours still haunt Reggie, but only in her dreams-until one night, when an unexpected visitor turns her nightmares into reality. My Review: Soulstice was the first book I finished for the new year. Holt has created a gripping, realistic horroriffic fantasy with likable characters, a female heroine we can root for, and a truly evil protagonist.

Reggie is back, wondering what the Vours are doing in the quiet time since the incident with Quinn and her rescue of brother Henry six months earlier. The peaceful break do
