The Rise of Renegade X by Chelsea M. Campbell

Sixteen-year-old Damien Locke has a plan: major in messing with people at the local supervillain university and become a professional evil genius, just like his supervillain mom. But when he discovers the shameful secret she's been hiding all these years, that the one-night stand that spawned him was actually with a superhero, everything gets messed up. His father's too moral for his own good, so when he finds out Damien exists, he actually wants him to come live with him and his goody-goody superhero family. Damien gets shipped off to stay with them in their suburban hellhole, and he has only six weeks to prove he's not a hero in any way, or else he's stuck living with them for the rest of his life, or until he turns eighteen, whichever comes first.

To get out of this mess, Damien has to survive his dad's "flying lessons" that involve throwing him off the tallest building in the city—despite his nearly debilitating fear of heights—thwarting the eccentric teen scientist who insists she's his sidekick, and keeping his supervillain girlfriend from finding out the truth. But when Damien uncovers a dastardly plot to turn all the superheroes into mindless zombie slaves, a plan hatched by his own mom, he discovers he cares about his new family more than he thought. Now he has to choose: go back to his life of villainy and let his family become zombies, or stand up to his mom and become a real hero.

I love superheroes so I'm very excited to read this one. I've only heard great things.

Infinite Days by Rebecca Maizel - Thanks publishers!

I release you, Lenah Beaudonte. 
Believe...and be free.
Those were the last words I could remember. When I awoke, I immediately felt a cold surface on my left cheek. An icy shiver rushed down my spine. "Rhode!" I screamed. He had to be here. There would be no world without Rhode. A door somewhere near me opened and closed. Rhode loomed over me but he was a blur. Even in the haze of that moment his icy-blue eyes pierced me, down to my soul. 


After centuries of terrorizing Europe, Lenah Beudonte, with the help of the handsome Rhode, has been able to realize the dream of all vampires - to be human again. Now, as a raven-haired, sixteen-year-old, Lenah believes her greatest challenge is fitting in at her new school. But the challenges have only begun. The vicious coven Lenah once ruled is threatening the newfound pleasures of her human life, including the one guy who makes her feel most alive, Justin. Can this ex-vamp survive in an alien time and place or will her past come back to haunt her...forever?


Gosh, this book sounds incredible! Apparently the first in a series so I'm excited! I wish I could begin reading it but right now I must try and put all my attention towards studying for my final this coming Tuesday. I'm nervous.

Read the FIRST TWO CHAPTERS at Rebecca's blog.

Trades:

Tremors 1 (with KEVIN BACON auuu I louuuve him!), 2, 3 and 4


This really brings me back to my childhood. Loved this movie as a kid and still do. Still love me some Bacon too (hehe sorry I had to). The other ones were so bad but they came with the movie so w/e.






The Descent




I hear this is a surprisingly good scary movie. I like my horror movies to be good. Hopefully it won't let me down. If you guys have seen it let me know what you thought.

One of my all time favorite horror movies! I had to buy it. Wanted to get it in blu-ray but it was so cheap so I couldn't help it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! It's directed by Danny Boyle the director of one of my other favorite movies, Slumdog Millionaire.

Death Proof


I LOVE this movie!! Also one of my favorites. Totally had forgotten about April March's Chick Habit. Go listen to it. It's so awesome and catchy. Watch the movie first though if you haven't already.







Planet Terror

Also one of my favorites :)
