You might enjoy the writing style and story in my book Bloodline. You can download a free preview from Amazon!

Bloodline (The Forgotten Origins Trilogy) by Tara Ellis

It is a clean, easy read but with a complex plot.

Do you have a kindle? Saving Mars (Saving Mars, #1) by Cidney Swanson is a good YA sci-fi and it's free on kindle at the moment, if you don't have a kindle you'd have to read it on your computer though.

I really liked this one as well, but it's more sci-fi/romance - These Broken Stars (Starbound, #1) by Amie Kaufman (gorgeous cover!)

Have you ever read The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. They're a great summer read and they should be at the library since they've been out for a long time.

message 541: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Any good sci-fi books/series? I don't want a love story with a bit of sci-fi, I want more like "real" sci-fi. It's okay if there's a love theme as well, I just want the main part of the book to be sci-fi centered :-)


message 542: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments No one knows any good scic-fi books? :-)


message 543: by Mei (new)

Mei (meijey) | 3810 comments Have you tried Across the Universe (Across the Universe, #1) by Beth Revis ? It has romance in it, but not heavily focused on.


message 544: by Heather (new)

Heather | 10157 comments Anyone know of any ghost books?


message 545: by Mei (new)

Mei (meijey) | 3810 comments This may be popular but have you tried Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna, #1) by Kendare Blake ?


message 546: by Heather (new)

Heather | 10157 comments No Mei lol I am trying to find a super quick read though


message 547: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments @Mei - I haven't, because I thought it'd be too focused on love. Maybe I'm mistaking? :-D

Hmm..what I meant was, it's lingering in the background, but the author still tackles about the world-building.

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments As long as it's not a contemporary, that's fine:-)

I agree with Mei, there is romance, but its not the main part of the story. That series gets really good ☺
