A Little Less Girl by Tess Oliver

Genre: YA
Publication Date: August 18, 2011
Format: ebook
Source: Bought
Rating: 5/5 Stars!!

Goodreads Summary:
Everything has always come easy to Jake West. But when Amy, the girl obsessed with him, commits suicide, the entire town of Raynesville is quick to blame Jake. Now Amy's cousin, Dani, has moved into town. And suddenly Jake has an obsession of his own.
Dani Spencer has always dreamed of a home and normal life. When her beloved cousin and grandmother die, her wild, impetuous mother inherits their house in Raynesville. With Amy’s diary in hand, Dani intends on finding out what happened to her cousin. And there's an obvious place to start . . . Jake West, the guy who broke Amy's heart.



My Opinion:
Totally enjoyed it! The alternative point of view between Dani and Jake was refreshing. Characters were great. Jake is a total nice guy and Dani's a great swimmer. I find myself liking Dani's mom and her interaction between her and Dani. I kept wanting to know who killed Amy throughout the book. Was it Jake, as everything had thought? You have to read to find out! It's a good read. 5 stars for a little less girl! Join her on her quest to find out the truth about her cousin's death.

Camille #1 by Tess Oliver

Genre: Fantasy YA
Publication Date: October 24, 2010
Format: ebook
Source: Bought
Rating: 3/5 Stars

Goodreads Summary:
At a time when society conforms to the strictest rules and most proper etiquette, sixteen-year-old Camille Kennecott and her guardian, Dr. Bennett, live a most unconventional life. They hunt werewolves.When unwitting victim, Nathaniel Strider, wanders into one of their full moon pursuits, Camille and Dr. Bennett believe they have found a specimen for their study. Finding a scientific key to unlocking the mystery of lycanthropy would end their late night excursions. Yet beneath the irresistible exterior, Nathaniel is transforming into a flesh-tearing monster, and as each experiment fails, Camille loses another inch of her soul to him. In a month’s time, she must face the prospect of destroying the boy who has stolen her heart.


My Opinion:
An interesting easy read about Camille and a boy named Nathaniel Strider who was about to transform into a werewolf from a vicious bite.

I easily followed through the story through Camille's point of view. The story was well written though I would say it is somewhat lacking on the action part. In this book, we get to read how Camille and the doctor tried to find a cure for Nathaniel while rushing for time.

Overall, it is still worth reading.

3.5/5 stars for Camille.

I forgot to mention about the cover! It's one of the reason I bought a copy of the book! Pretty!
