Great.
The Haunted Heart which was by one of my favorite authors Cherie Bennett was a excellent book. The ghost-love story was very interesting. The only thing that I didn't really like was how sometimes the author got off the subject. This was the first Enchanted Heart book I read and now I am on the 4th.
Oh My Gosh,I Couldn't Put This Down!!!!!
I love this book!!! I have read a lot of young adult romance novels and this is one of the best I have read in a year!!!!The way you never know what is about to happen,it just kills you to put it down.You really get into the book after the 2 chapter so don't think it is bad because it isn't it is wonderful!

Be careful what you wish for......
Callie Bailey is used to living in her older sister Laurel's shadow. But it's not what she wants. She wants to be beautiful and popular. But most of all she wants Laurel's boyfriend Jake. Then one night Callie gets the LoveRock. That night she puts the LoveRock under her pillow and makes a wish. And then her wish comes true. Only problem is that in the course of this she almost loses two of the most important people in her life.
This was a great book. Make sure to read the rest of the Mirror Image books!
Great YA Romance/Learn Your Lesson story
I thought it was a good spin on the classic "be careful what you wish for" ploy. It's interesting and romantic, too Calle starts out as a geek, becomes popular and steals her sister's boyfriend, realizes she doesn't like him, and goes back to her regular self all thanks to a meteroite. Good story. I'm looking forward to reading more of this series.
My favorite book

This book is my fave!
This book is great! Cisco is sent to a boot camp on earth to help a horse-killer named Caitlin. It's hard, but Cisco succeeds. If you like the other Teen Angel books, you'll love this one.
Great book!
I thought this book was great!If you want a book that's great bed-time reading, go no farther!Heaven help us is one of my favourite books.Once I started I couldn't put it down.Five stars!
It was great!
This book is a definate page-turner. I didn't want to put it down! I think Cisco handled her mission well. This book teaches that everyone can change, and to give everyone a chance. Even Caitlin the "horse killer" can turn her life around

Where's the rest of the series?
Hey~I read this series in 7th grade, I will now be going into 11th, and I haven't found a new book in the series! Help! I love Cherie Bennet because she tells the truth. Her newspaper column for teens used to be in my local paper, but halfway through the year they discontinued it. I was mad because I liked how she made her point, blunt and to the point. I really wish if anyone had any news on if the series ended or if there are more books that you could tell me. Thanks.
It is a grate book to keep a girl from comiting suicide.
I loved the book Love Without End.It is probably the best book I have ever read.I think it reminds parents that when someone dies that you should pay alot of atention to the kid whose brother or sister died because if you don't then they could start hanging around with the wrong people and might comit suicide.
A very sweet book!
I loved this book! Nicole learned a lesson on not getting caught up in other things while down on a mission. And Shelby was so sweet, I knew the reason she acted so tough was because she was hurting inside. The end was so touching. I would reccomend this book to everyone

This was a great read!!
The teen theme of this book is about being fat and how other people treat you, even your parents, if you are overweight. Lara, the main character, had a "perfect" life......great friends, popularity, a handsome boyfriend and she just won Homecoming queen. THEN suddenly, her perfect life drastically changes. She goes from weighing 118 to weighing 218! She doesnt understand whats happening! She doesn't know what to do. She tries different things...diets, making herself throw-up, laxatives...she evens tries to go without eating. Nothing works. Making thing worse is, she dumps her boyfriend Jett, her best friend Molly used to weigh more than her and now she weighs MORE, and her parents are having marital problems. She is no longer one of the "cool" kids. Finally, her doctor tells her that she probably has the syndrome, Axell-Crowne. This disease causes you to gain weight no matter how much you eat. She moves to Michigan and begins her senior year at a new school. She ends up making friends with the so-called "geeks". But she feels ok. Some of her new friends are different, too. She starts to feel better about herself. She starts to like her life more and even starts losing weight. The disease might be wearing off. She is visited by Molly and her ex-boyfriend, and that makes her feel even better. In the end I think she's feeling alot better about herself, but it took alot of saddness first.
This story is so real. I would recommend this book because it really explains how people and society feel about you if you are fat. Once Lara was popular because of the way she looked then she was unpopular because of the way she looked. It was sad to read about what people do to you if you fat.........even what you'll do to yourself to make yourself "thin".

Finding out it's not about size when your own gets bigger.
Lara Ardeche has it all-popularity, a cool boyfriend, a great best friend,and a size 1.Things are great-that is until she gains weight-and not just 1 or 2 pounds. Not only that but it won't stop. It's every teen's worst nightmare come true. Join Lara as she learns about how life is-in the Fat Lane.This was a great book.The characters are realistic and believeable.I found that all the characters were like people that you meet in every day life, they could be you, someone like you or someone you know. Lara is who every girl wants to be and at the same time how every girl should learn to be without having to have a tremendous weight gain.It's a perfect example of how our society is unaccepting of people with weight problems.This book really makes you think twice about how you treat people because tommorow it could be you.Sometimes people forget that and this book is a good reminder.When I read this book it remeinded me a lot of how my school is,from Patty Asher-the school'! s overweight girl that everyone makes fun of to Molly the slightly overweight girl who is pressured to lose weight even though she's perfectly healthy to Lara and the in crowd who makes it hard for everyone.I would recommend this book to anyone because it helps you to see that size is only a number.
True, but not Heavy
I realy enjoyed reading Life in the Fat Lane. In fact, it is one of my favourite books. Basically, it is my worst nightmare. The cutest, most popular girl at school, Lara Ardeche, begins to gain weight for an unknown reason. The cause is later found to be Axell - Crowne Sydrom, which makes the person retain water and gain weight. SInce there is no known cure, Lara's life must go on, even as she balloons up to 218 pounds. Lara soon discovers things about her family that she never knew, and realizes that even when she was thin and a beauty pageant winner, her life was not perfect. What I like about this book is that while it deals with a serious subject, it is often funny and does not preach. As Lara's views begin to change, it is clear to the reader what she thinks and feels. I recommend this book.

A disastrous wedding in smalltown Stanfield, New York
A perfect bride+perfect groom= a perfect match. Right? WRONG! First of all there's Fawn Miss Perfect, who isn't as perfect as she seems. Then there's Austin who seems to enjoy the company of his sister-in-law more than that of his bride-to-be. Last, but certainly not least, are the bridesmaids. Lexi, who's head-over-heels for her sister's fiance, Juliet who's been in love times too numerous to count, and the wonderfully verbal Paris, who just happens to be a junkie..and doesn't know it. The story's a little too farfetched and corny in my opinion,but it'll keep you occupied: a Jerry Springer episode just waiting to happen.
Fun to read
This book is very funny. It is a bit unrealalistic but very fun to read. There is a least one character that everyone can relate to. It is a good book.

This book was excellent!!
This continues the Club Sunset Island Series by Cherie Bennett. I haven't read all the books about Club Sunset Island but I plan too. I really like this book because Cherie Bennetts characters are easy to relate to. i.e Patti Chernick at first you really really dislike her but when you find out about her home life and see how other people treat her you feel awful for her. It's a really great book.
It was a well written book!
...I thought it was a really great book...Even though it was writ ten several years ago the book was still intresting. Cherie Bennett is a great writer and all I can say is 'keep on writing Cherie!'

Review of Nightmare in Heaven
hey i thought that this was a great book because it enforces trust in relationships, also the hurt when someone you love loses that trust in you. 3 years ago i found this book in the library and would recomend it to anyone who is willing to learn a lesson in trust.
An awesome series
I loved Nightmare in Heaven (Teen Angels, No 5) by Cherie Bennett and Jeff Gottesfeld. I think it was an outstanding book, as well as the other books in that series. I just recently picked up all six of the Teen Angels Books at the library, and I read them all and loved all of them. For two or three days I was completely engrossed inthese remarkable books. I went back to the library upon completing the books, and I was incredibly disappointed to note that only those six books were available. I think this whole entire series is outstanding, and I highly recommend it to any teenage girl, whether this is your "type" of book or not. As I said, I absolutely adored the series, and I strongly encourage Cherie and Jeff to continue using their apparent talent in these books. As a "book-aholic" I absolutely have to know what is going to happen to Nicole, Cisco, Melody, Scarlett, and all the others. Please don't let me down!!!!!!!! I love these books, and I believe that Cjerie and Jeff are incredibly talented writers. Whether they choose to continue this series or choose to use their talents on other stories, I wish them all the best!!!

a fairly good book
This book had a good storyline, but wasn't written very well. The author lacked good adjectives and sentence combining structure. Other than the poor writing, this book kept me wired to it and you literally couldn't tear me away. I had never read any of this author's books before, but I just might read another!
This book rocks!
This is the best of the Pageant books. With the addition to the "cast" of Christy, who is mascarading as a teen to write a tell all about the pageant, the plot is even more interesting. How the girls, especially Heather, Alexis and Lisa fold into Christy's plot, and make her betrayal more painful for her, is very interesting. The overall camadarade of the girls, and the sub plots, such as Fawn and Tyler, Alexis and Justin and all make for a great read!
a really great book
This was one of the best books I've ever read. I've also read the first three in the series, and you'll love all of them. It's full of mystery, having you wonder who will be the six finalists, plus who will be the big winner. This is truly a great book that I'm sure everyone will enjoy. A word of advice: read the first three first, just so you'll know what's going on.
