But two problems quickly arise when environmentalists rally to protest the development and the slope-side condo owners suffer a rash of seemingly unsolvable burglaries. Enter Joe Gunther and the newly minter Vermont Bureau of Investigation. Summoned by the embattled local sheriff, Joe doesn't take long to find out that the most likely thief has mysteriously vanished- leaving behind his dead girlfriend- or to discover that some of the protesters may have more on their agenda than protecting the environment.

Werewolves Dead Moon Rising

In the book there are several short stories written by all different authors,; but they all revolve around werewolves. In one of the short stories called skin belt by William R. Halliar, the main character has been changing into a werewolf on the full moon. He decides to get help and finds an old man. The old man gives him something that will stop his changes, and it works! But the old an wants it back, and is willing to do almost anything to get back his creation. What will the main character do?! I really like this book because of all the different writing styles put together into one book. All of the writing styles gives new side or idea to the werewolf legends, and the fresh new takes makes me want to read more. Also most of them go really far into characters like their looks and feelings, especially when they transform, which gives it really good imagery. I recommend this book highly; but not to younger kids. It has some inappropriate references and some foul language.

The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting

Violet Amberose is grappling with two major issues: Jay Heaton and her morbid secret ability. While the sixteen-year-old is confused by her new feelings for her bet friend since childhood, she is more disturbed by her "power" to sense dead bodies--or at least those that have been murdered. Since she was a little girl, she has felt the echoes the dead leave behind in the world... and the imprints that attach to their killers.

Violet has never considered her strange talent to be a gift; it mostly just led her to find dead birds her cat left for her. But now that a serial killer is terrorizing her small town, and the echoes of the local girls he's claimed haunt her daily, Violet realizes she might be the only person who can stop him.

Despite his fierce protectiveness over her, Jay reluctantly agrees to help Violet find the murderer--and Violet is unnerved by her hope that Jay's intentions are much more than friendly. But even as she's falling intensely in love, Violet is getting closer and closer to discovering a killer... and becoming his prey herself.

How to train your dragon by: Cressida Cowell

How to train your dragon is a great book. I love it. Its very exciting and thrilling and i cant take my eyes off of it. my favorite part is when hiccup (thew main character) gets thrown into the mouth of a dragon. the setting is in viking time with dragons. My favorite character is hiccup and his dragon toothless. The whole reason Hiccup, Fishlegs, Dogsbreath the duh brain, and Snotlout, get a dragon is because they have to or they will get shipped off to cannibal island. I like Hiccup and his dragon because they both are extraordinary and have fun adventures, while toothless is just adorable.
