Fantasy Reading Challenge 2010

We read a lot of fantasy so when we came across The Royal Review's Fantasy Reading Challenge, we signed up. As their site says any type of fantasy counts. There are four levels (reprinted from their site): -- Curious – Read 3 Fantasy Fiction novels. -- Fascinated – Read 6 Fantasy Fiction novels. -- Addicted – Read 12 Fantasy Fiction novels. -- Obsessed – Read 20 Fantasy Fiction novels.  Can we reach the Obsessed level with 20 books read? We think so!

My Soul to Take by Rachel Vincent

Reading level: Young Adult Paperback: 384 pages Publisher: Harlequin Teen; Original edition (August 1, 2009) BOOK DESCRIPTION: S he doesn't see dead people, but... She senses when someone near her is about to die. And when that happens, a force beyond her control compels her to scream bloody murder. Literally. Kaylee just wants to enjoy having caught the attention of the hottest guy in school. But a normal date is hard to come by when Nash seems to know more about her need to scream than she does. And when classmates start dropping dead for no apparent reason, only Kaylee knows who'll be next... MY REVIEW: I liked how Vincent weaved her paranormal tale and grabbed me from the opening scene. Kaylee can see dark shadows around people and has the overwhelming need to scream. The problem is the last time she did give in to the urge, she was sent off to a mental hospital and medicated. Is she crazy or is something else going on? Of course, we know the answer to that.
