Title:Delirium
Description:This is Earth in the future, when love is classified as a deadly disease. They found a cure, and until you get it at age 18, you are not allowed to even be around any uncureds of the opposite gender. When a silent rebellion starts to leak into awareness, would you follow society, or go with your heart?
My opinion:I absolutely LOVED this book because of how descriptive it is, the surprising twists in the story, and how your heart aches for the forbidden romance to continue to live on. Oliver Lauren did a fantastic job in the way that the reader completely and utterly looses themselves in the story, to the point where the thought of putting it down pains you.

Genre: Paranormal/sci-fi(not sure really cuz it's definitely super natural but some people consider these things scientific), YA, RomanceTitle: Dark Visions/L J Smith
Description: Kait has a power. A power that has always terrified her and her surroundings. She can draw the future.
She's psychic. But she isn't the only one. And one day a woman shows up at her school, offering her to meet other psychics- the top five psychics in the country- for a study, and then get a scholarship to a college of her choice and a large amount of cash.
There she meets Rob. Sweet, innocent Rob. But she also meets Gabriel, a mysterious boy who has been in prison, who is dangerous but is immediately attracted to Kait.
Now Kait must choose. Because her choices could mean the death of her friends, and the boy she loves... But which boy is he?
My opinion: I LOVED this book. LJ Smith is an awesome writer but she really outdid herself this time. It was written well, and even though the end could have been a bit more satisfying- there was no epilogue[ it was very good nonetheless. And it was just a very good book- an EXCELLENT book.

This book was simply amazing. Amazing, no doubt in my mind about it. The way the chapters are written, "then" and "now" was brilliant, and kept me interested as the book flowed along. You''ll find yourself screaming, "Then? But what about now! I want to know more about NOW!" and then as soon as the "then" chapter ends, it will be, "No, I want to stay! What happens? What happens?!"
Like I said, brilliant. The characters are well developed, and Lauren does an incredible job with giving you a love-hate relationship with some of the new characters, filling you with as much internal struggle as our protagonist Lena has to deal with constantly.
Read it. You will not regret biting into this juicy and suspenseful plot.
It has come to my attention that several of you requested a recommendation folder... a little topic where poseurs and poseurs alike can share their favorite titles, authors, and series. And I can honestly say that is a very, very good idea indeed, so here's how it's going to work:
Genre:Firstly, insert the genre, so that people can know right off the bat if the book your recommending is a fluff read verses a deeply philosophical purple prose thingamajig. Two taglines would be appreciated (e.g. Drama/Romance or Horror/Humor)
Title: Relatively simple. Just put the title here.
Description: Throw in the synopsis here so we can get a basic feel for the story. If you look up the book on GR and copy the description, pasting it here will work fine, too.
And, lastly, Your Opinion: Tell everyone else WHY you're recommending it, and what you like verses what you didn't like.
[SAMPLE]
Genre: Horror/Paranormal Romance
Title: Zombie Kiss
Description: Claire wasn't looking for love... but when her undead neighbor showed up at her door, she found herself unwillingly attracted to him. Now she has to decide whether its true love or if he just wants to change her to an undead, too... Find out in Zombie Kiss.
My Opinion: I really enjoyed Zombie Kiss because it had a lot of twists and turns... blah blah blah… I think the author created a very realistic environtment… blah blah blah… I like cheese... blah blah blah… I don't like the fact that Clair shoots the zombie in the end... blah blah. And so on. And so forth.
Alright! Now... recommend away!
