Book Review: Fence volume 4 C.S. Pacat

Fence, Vol. 4: Rivals

Fence, Vol. 4: Rivals by C.S. Pacat

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


December 31

The team at King’s Row must face the school that defeated them in the fencing state championships last year, but first Nicholas and Seiji must learn to work together as a team…and maybe something more!

FOILED AGAIN?

Just as Nicholas, Seiji and the fencing team at the prodigious Kings Row private school seem to be coming together, a deadly rival from their past stands in their way once more. MacRobertson is the school that knocked Kings Row out of the State Championships last year – but unless Nicholas and Seiji can learn to work together as a team, their school is doomed once again! And maybe those two can learn to be something more than teammates too… 

Review : I enjoyed this volume they get to fence against another school . I enjoy seiji and Nicholas friendship. Nicholas is trying to get better and he tells Seiji that we are a team and he needs to believe that . Eugene subs in for adien cause he was put on a date . Eugene gets super nervous but Seiji in his ways somehow encourages him . They end up winning. Can’t wait for the next one .

Book Review: Teen titans beast boy Kami Garcia

Teen Titans: Beast Boy

Teen Titans: Beast Boy by Kami Garcia

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


December 30-31
Garfield Logan has spent his entire life being overlooked. Even in a small town like Eden, Georgia, the 17-year-old with green streaks in his hair can’t find a way to stand out–and the clock is ticking. Senior year is almost over. If Gar doesn’t find a way to impress the Chosen Ones–the social elite at Bull Creek High School–he will never know what it’s like to matter. Gar’s best friends, Stella and Tank, don’t understand why he cares what other people think. They miss their funny, pizza-loving, video game-obsessed best friend.

Then Gar accepts a wild dare out of the blue. It impresses the Chosen Ones and his social status soars. But other things are changing, too. Gar grows six inches overnight. His voice drops and, suddenly, he’s stronger and faster. He’s finally getting everything he wanted, but his newfound popularity comes at a price. Gar has to work harder to impress his new friends. The dares keep getting bigger and the stakes keep getting higher.

When Gar realizes the extent of his physical changes, he has to dig deep and face the truth about himself–and the people who truly matter–before his life spirals out of control.

Review: I really enjoyed the second book in this series this is about Gar aka beast boy . Gar has these plans for his senior year and he hasn’t don’t any and he can’t seem to bulk up until he finds out his supplement his parents have been giving him have that effect he stops taking them and weird stuff starts happening. He eats a hot pepper and doesn’t feel the effect. He ends up posing with the snake mascot and finds out the school is doing animal testing and has his friends help him out . He ends up keeping a monkey he names it kong . He finds out when he was little he almost died so his parents injected him with vaccine and thats why he has these side effects and can shape shift into an animal . I can’t wait to read the next one where he meets raven.
