Summary
For 17-year-old Emma
Wong, spending a summer in England should be a dream come true. Gorgeous
scenery? Check. Lots of hot guys with accents? Yes, please.
Throw in an estranged mom, annoying new stepdad, and drooling baby half-brother, and it's a disaster even her favorite cherry red leather jacket can't fix. Even worse, there's (hot) live-in research assistant Josh to contend with. The only thing more embarrassing than drunk-kissing him hours after they meet? Knowing he'll be witness to her family's dysfunction all. summer. long.
But when Emma meets a mysterious girl who happens to be a Druid, her vacation suddenly promises to be far more intriguing than she anticipated. Powerful rituals, new friends, an intoxicating sense of freedom...and Simon, the sexy foreign stranger she was hoping for. It's all a perfect distraction from dirty diapers and awkward family dinners.
Trouble is, intriguing doesn't often mean simple. And Emma is about to discover just how not simple her life really is.
By Blood is a novel about the ways that blood can bind us to others - or tear us apart.

You're life is no where near as perfect on the inside as it appears to be on the outside. Your mother cheated on your father while they were married and had a child. She divorced your father. He's the only person you trust now. You lose yourself in clothes and self- defense classes. Your mother takes you off to her new husbands house and has you babysitting your baby step brother the entire summer. The only up? The really ( and I mean really) hot guy who is the leader of Druid ceremonies. Only, he has a few secrets of his own. No one is who they seem and the perfect guy may have been right next door (literally) all along.
Who are you? Your Emma Wong, of course!
This is a book about accepting what been given to you and seeing that things aren't always as they seem.
Over all this book was decent. Not at all like I expected it to be and not my usual book. i don't think I've read anything with Druids in it before so that was nice.

Summary
Coming August 2013!
Before Emma's adventures in Oxford, her best friend Diana came face-to-face with a killer...
Diana Calvert is so over high school. Who cares if Olivia hates her? And David needs to forget about having a crush on her STAT. Even Emma’s crazy fashion choices can’t keep Diana entertained. All she can hope for is a dance scholarship to a college as far away as possible from too-small, too-boring, too-nothing-ever-happens New Freedom, PA.
Then Diana meets Nicholas Woodhaven. He’s pale, angry…yet weirdly charming. The more time they spend together, the more she wonders who – or what – he really is. Because he isn’t anything like the other guys she knows. Not with the whole only-going-out-at-night thing. And living with his creepy aunt. And not going to school.
Just when Diana thinks she’s got Nicholas all figured out, people in her small, nothing-ever-happens town start dying. She has to wonder – can she trust him? And even more alarming – could she be next?
A murder mystery with a paranormal twist, Moon Child is best read under the covers with a flashlight...if you dare!
