Pretty Little Liars + The Shutter Island (A Ilha do Medo)

Yesterday I finished Unbelievable, the fourth book from the Pretty Little Liars saga. I really enjoyed it, it's an easy read and has an interesting and well developed plot. The mystery is unfolded slowly and you get really curious to know what is going on! I talked more about these saga here, when I said that I got interested in the books after seeing the first episodes of a series of the same name, which I mention here. Now I know who A is!

Plot from the first book: Three years ago, Alison disappeared after a slumber party, not to be seen since. Her friends at the elite Pennsylvania school mourned her, but they also breathed secret sighs of relief. Each of them guarded a secret that only Alison had known. Now they have other dirty little secrets, secrets that could sink them in their gossip-hungry world. When each of them begins receiving anonymous emails and text messages, panic, sets in. Are they being betrayed by some one in their circle? Worse yet: Is Alison back? A strong launch for a suspenseful series. (Goodreads: 4.01stars)

Having read this first four books one story came to its closure, so I decided to go read something else... Now I started reading: The Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane. The Shutter Island was made into movies this year, and it was only after I've watched the movie that I learned that it was based in a book. Since I really liked the movie, and that I love reading, I got interested in the book and went after it...

Plot: Summer, 1954. U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels has come to Shutter Island, home of Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Along with his partner, Chuck Aule, he sets out to find an escaped patient. But nothing at Ashecliffe Hospital is what it seems.And neither is Teddy Daniels. Is he there to find a missing patient? Or has he been sent to look into rumors of Ashecliffe's radical approach to psychiatry? An approach that may include drug experimentation, hideous surgical trials, and lethal countermoves in the shadow war against Soviet brainwashing... The closer Teddy and Chuck get to the truth, the more elusive it becomes, and the more they begin to believe that they may never leave Shutter Island. Because someone is trying to drive them insane... (Goodreads)

Wicked, Killer and Burned

Yay! Now there is only one book from my order that haven't arrived yet, for 3 books just came in! They are:

Wicked and Killer

The fifth and sixth books from the Pretty Little Liars series (which I talked more about here)

Burned

The seventh book from the House of Night series.

The House of Night series is set in a world very much like our own, except in 16-year-old Zoey Redbird's world, vampyres have always existed. In the first book in the series, Zoey enters the House of Night, a school where, after having undergone the Change, she will train to become an adult vampire--that is, if she makes it through the Change. Not all of those who are chosen do. It’s tough to begin a new life, away from her parents and friends, and on top of that, Zoey finds she is no average fledgling.  She has been Marked as special by the vampyre Goddess, Nyx.  But she is not the only fledgling at the House of Night with special powers.

Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard

Today arrived the first 4 books of the Pretty Little Liars series here at home... *_*

I have been dying to read them ever since I found out that this new abc series I really liked (and that I already talked about here), also called Pretty Little Liars, is based in a series of books by Sara Shepard... But for now I still need to finish what I am reading at the moment...
