Crashed by Robin Wasserman

Crashed (Skinned, #2)Crashed by Robin Wasserman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Book Two of the Skinned Trilogy was high on excitement,suspense, and guessing who to believe. Lia Kahn is still living at Quinn's house with Jude, Riley, and Ani and the other mechs. She no longer lives at home,and has cut all ties with her family. Lia has become a dare devil knowing she can never die, she has also grown very close to Riley and some people are jealous. But it really hurts Lia that her old friend Auden is one of the leaders who hates the mechs and wants them taken out of commission. It is Savona and Auden's group that set up Lia and as she runs from evil, she tries to save herself and Riley. But will it work? I can't wait to get to Wired because the stakes are really high now for Lia.

Wired by Robin Wasserman

Wired (Skinned, #3)Wired by Robin Wasserman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


There were so many tense moments in this book and I Loved Lia and Zoe forging a bond and enjoying being sisters who got on each others nerves. I love the new Riley, then I missed him and Jude was as all knowing and annoying as ever. The BioMax threat, Lia and Zoe's parents, and Lia and her friend(s)having to always try to outsmart whoever was trying to destroy the mechs was awesome, scary, and sad because you never knew who was going to turn against them. Lia was really a character who grew, as well as her sister. Lia had opinions she voiced, but her inner stream of consciousness was always up and down, good and bad, and she kept the reader totally enthralled with the reality and the unreality of her life, the mechs future and their well being. I was totally unprepared for the ending....

I think now I will start Wasserman's Chasing Yesterday Mystery Trilogy. If it is good suspense, I know our reeucant readers will enjoy it if the reading classes do a mystery genre unit.

On another note, I will be heavy into reviewing my PSLA books, so there will be lots of nonfiction and Reference/Professional books coming in my reviews!
