  Scythe ( The Arc of a Scythe  Book 1)          Scythe , by famous dystopian author Neal Shusterman, is a book about the ethical consequences of death, and human nature when given the power to control it.

I especially love reading about novels set in places I have been, because I can understand most of the references, especially the landmarks. Here are some novels I have read set in cities I have been to! Istanbul, Turkey: Inferno - Dan Brown Before Istanbul, I had never been to any countries around that region. It was a wonderful experience to be immersed in a culture completely new to me. Every street was filled with the best local food, beautiful artwork, and extravagant views. Although I knew of the Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque, I mainly remained clueless on the notable site. However, there was one other landmark I knew from a book: the Yerebatan Cistern. Inferno by Dan Brown is a thrilling novel following the near-death adventures of the professor, Robert Langdon. If you have read any of my past blogs, you will know how big of a Dan Brown fan I am. ...

Although Jonah is surprised he passes it off as a joke and doesn’t think much of it. When Jonah’s friend gets a similar letter in the mail Jonah starts to question it but still doesn’t take it too seriously. Jonah learns that his friend is adopted so the two friends think the letters have to do with them being adopted. Jonah starts to take the letters as less of a joke so Jonah, his friend, and his sister try to figure out who is behind the mysterious letters.  After digging into the mystery of the letters for a bit, they soon realize there's a lot more to the letters than they had previously thought. They run into a woman who te...
