My Review~~~
I have not read the first two super hero books in this series. With that being said, I love this book!! I love that it is a positive outlook on girls and my daughter loves them. I love that girls can do great things when they put their mind to it as shown with Batgirl. She has no super power yet gets invited to attend Super Hero High. I love that in Batgirl that you can be special and that you can help when you have the courage to do so. Lisa Yee has done an amazing job on her twist of the super girls. I actually like this version compared to the ones I grew up on as a child. My daughter will definitely continue to read this series and I'm going to get the first two and read them together.
Barbara Gordon, the daughter of Commissioner Gordon, gets invited to Super Hero High. It takes her begging to get her father to let her go. With SuperGirl as her friend, you would think that Hero High would be a breeze, but no such luck for our heroine. What can we expect in School? She is going to be pressured from classmates, make mistakes, and with her friends overcome any obstacle. I really like her encounter with the Killer Moth!! "You're All washed up!" Barbara called. It is that upbeat tone and fun through every encounter and every experience. Read it for yourself. It is a fantastic read!

The Suffering by Rin Chupeco
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read The Suffering by Rin Chupeco which is the sequel to The Girl from the Well. The Girl from the Well is amazing! I wasn't a Horror reader but I love this book. Just like the first the author entraps you in the Asian and otherworldly elements and delivers a knock out book! Tark and Okiku are on another adventure that takes you into haunted forests full of creepy things. I love the Japanese element and the references to folklore. This series is honestly one of the best series I have read! I'm dying for the author to continue on with this series. This is one book that I read in one setting and had gave me the most wonderful book hangover! I couldn't stop thinking about the characters, plot, story line, and the many twists. I plan on re-reading this book over and over! Check it out!

SM Blooding

Episode 1 Graveyard Dreams FREE June 6-7 My name’s River, and I’m a dream killer. The Sea of Dreams spat me out without any memories of who was or where I came from. I’ve spent years traveling Dreamland in our gypsy caravan, searching for clues. All I’ve discovered is that the all-powerful elders are collecting people like me—Dreamlanders who don’t fit in. Then I met a man who sails the Sea of Dreams, the one place all Dreamlanders fear. One touch of those ocean waves could shred the soul. Yet, he’s like me. He can hear the water’s whispers, touch her waves, and watch her dreams. My answers are out there—on his ship, on that sea. Somewhere out there is the graveyard of dreams. Episode 2 Eyes of Stars FREE June 8 - 9 We’re under attack. The elders and their runners are grabbing as many people with unique gifts as they can to determine why Dreamland requires them. Why give birth to a basher with the ability to create? Why allow a cleaner the gift of healing? What is her design? Her intent? They’re not the only ones looking to use these specially gifted individuals. The mechanics and their army of hunters are capturing them as well, but with a different intent. They unleashed a virus, a virus of dreamers. Yes. Dreamers are attacking Dreamlanders. Dreamland has sent a savior, a mechanic capable of healing anything and anyone, one who’s stronger than any master mechanic we’ve ever seen. She didn’t do this to save Dreamlanders or your precious land of dreams. No. She sent us a cure to save me. She needs me. I don’t want to know why. Episode 3 Captain Tightpants ON SALE $.99 June 10-11 Everything is better than ever. The graveyard is healing. The creatures are propagating and assisting the trapped dreamers. It seems as though my job is done. Seems so. That is until the dreamer trapped in my net shows up with strange stories about unicorns roaming around Denver. Our fold of reality is melting in Earth's. When Cable, the riverboat captain, steals the net, intent on destroying my dreamer to power his boat, Dreamland reveals a new secret. I know who I am, and it's not at all what I thought
