1st- Witch and Wizard The Gift by James Patterson
This book becomes more and more predictable with each passing page. Whit and Wisty escape from The One, or escape from jail, and then Whit and Wisty go somewhere to help someone else, or to find their parents and then get put back in jail or caught by The One. The cover of my Nook book describes this book as "Harry Potter meets Hunger Games." This isn't really very true. At all. Although this book reminds me a tiny bit of The Hunger Games- in that it is a very dystopian novel- this series reminds me of nothing of Harry Potter- the magic isn't the same, the overall plot line of the book isn't the same, and so far (and I don't see this changing anytime soon, the happiness and magical factor that gives the Harry Potter series such an incredible aspect that keeps the readers reading J.K. Rowlings books over and over again- just simply isn't in this book at all. I can honestly say I am not as excited to move on to the next book in this series like I was after the first book.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

2nd- The 13th Reality The Hunt for Dark Infinity
Another fun read. James Dashner is a great story teller. This book is a must read for young readers that struggle getting into reading. (Although make sure you have them read the first book in the series first!) This is a book that I would love my children to read.
3rd- Witch and Wizard The Fire by James Patterson
This book/series turned into a bit of a disappointment for me, especially here at its end. It's not that I didn't like it, it's just that I didn't like it a whole lot. It was too predictable and at times vague with the "M" that is going on throughout the story. It bothers me that from the beginning of the story it seems that magic is the problem, yet The One must most certainly be a wizard, right? And then, suddenly (in my opinion) the magic or "M" changes in that literature, music, poetry, and dance all seem to be where the read power comes from? Kinda? I felt that this was kinda corny. I really don't have much else to say about this book except that I'm a little disappointed I spent money on it.
***Please excuse the super stupid formatting in this post... I have no idea what happened and by the time I realized something was wrong I decided it was not worth it to type EVERYTHING all over again. I tried my best to fix the problem... spent more time than I would like to admit, but this is the best it's gonna get.
