#7 The Alchemy of Forever by Avery Williams
Stars: *****
Genres: YA, Supernatural, Urban Fantasy, Romance
Seraphina is an Incarnate, a soul that can change bodies. She has been alive since the 1300 and she does not want to continue living any longer bacause for her to live, someone must die. Cyrus is the one who turned her into an Incarnate, he is also the person she once loved and the person whos till holds onto her with an iron grip. And one night, the night she is supposed to take on a new body, she escapes from him and vows to never kill again, even if she has to take her own life.
But something goes wrong and she finds herself in the body of sixteen year old Kailey, a girl who had been in a car accident. Sera goes on living as Kailey, feeling alive for the fist time in a long time and slowly falling in love with her new neighbour. But Sera knows that Cyrus will be back and those she has started to care will be in danger.
Before reading the book the story reminded me a bit of Beloved Immortal by Cate Tiernan and Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay. What the Alchemy of Forever had in common with Juliet Immortal is that both souls are able to go from one body to another, and what all three of them had in common is that all three girls are hidding from three dark immortal souls.But I was partley wrongand the story took a diffrent path.
What really suprised me was that when I was at the end of the book the story seemed to take one direction that I did not like, and I was starting to get a bit mad at the book but suddenly, at the last page, everything changed and I couldn't help thinnking what would happen next, wondering and pondering, almost going crazy. I can't wait for the next book in the series!

#6 Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann
Stars: *****
Genre: YA, Mystery, Horror, Romance, Contemporary, Suspense, Supernatural.
English---> Kendall Fletcher lives in a small town called Cryer's Cross where everybody knows each other and nothing interesting happens, but all that changes when Tiffany Quinn, a girl from Kendall's school, disapears.
Everybody looks for Tiffany but they never find her. Months pass and the school starts again and Kendall is exited to start her senior year, coming back to all her rituals and getting her mind out of scary thoughts. And with the new school year comes two new students, Jacián and Marlena Morales. Marlena is nice, Jacián is not.
And then one day, Nico Cruz, Kendall's boyfriend (and best friend since forever), disapears, leaving no trace (like Tiffany's disapearance) and the police and the press instantly connect the two disapearances.
Kendall finds friendship with Marlena and Jacián and finds herself with a new rootine, but that does not stop her discover what happened to her friend, even if it seems too unreal.
Español--> Kendall Flecher vive en el pequeño pueblo de Cryer's Cross donde todos se conocen y casi nada interesante pasa, pero todo eso cambia cuando Tiffany Quinn, una alumna del instituto de Kendall desaparece.
Todos buscan a Tiffany pero nunca la encuentra. Los meses pasan y el instituto comienza otra vez y Kendall esta excitada de comenzar su ultimo año, volviendo a todos sus rituales y alejando su mentes de pensamientos que la asustan. Con el nuevo año escolar vienen dos estudiantes nuevos, Jacián y Marlena Morales. Marlena es amable pero Jacián no lo aparenta, siempre callado y inexpresivo.
Y un día, Nico Cruz, el novio de Kendall y su mejor amigo desde siempre, desaparece sin dejar rastro (como la desaparición de Tiffany) y la policía y las noticias no tardan en entrelazar estas dos ocurrencias.
Kendall encuentra amistad con Marlena, y un poco mas que amistad con Jacián, comenzando una nueva rutina, pero nada la va a parar para descubrir que paso con su mejor amigo, incluso si las respuestas son sobrenaturales y todas la verían como una loca.
El libro me gusto mucho aunque da un poco de miedo (especialmente si lo lees en mitad de la noche cuando oyes ruidos raros que no sabes de donde provienen). No es mi primera novela de terror y no es la que mas miedo da de las que leído pero todavía estaba bien. El personaje de Kendall, que sufre TOC (Trastorno obsesivo compulsivo) era muy real. Conocí a alguien con TOC y no se si Kendall lo tenia aun peor pero era divertido ver como ese problema le afectaba en la vida cotidiana.
Pues si te gustan las historias de miedo te lo recomiendo.
