Hourglass by Claudia Gray
Summary:
After escaping from Evernight Academy, the vampire boarding school where they met, Bianca and Lucas seek refuge with Black Cross, an elite group of vampire hunters. Bianca must hide her supernatural heritage or risk certain death at their hands. But when Black Cross captures her friend--the vampire Balthazar--all her secrets threaten to come out.
Soon, Bianca and Lucas have orchestrated Balthazar's escape and are on the run, pursued not only by Black Cross, but by the powerful leaders of Evernight. Yet no matter how far they run, Bianca can't escape her destiny.
Bianca has always believed their love could survive anything--but can it survive what's to come?
Review:
Truly worth the year wait. I hate that I must now wait another year until Afterlife. The third book will leave you begging for more. Lucas and Bianca face many challenges in this book. I was surprised at how much their lives changed in such a short amount of time.
Claudia Gray has written a fantastic series. Any true fan of romance, or supernatural novels should run out and buy the entire series now. If you have not read Evernight, you are truly missing out an amazing new series that is sure to have everyone talking.

Product Description:
All Meg has ever wanted is to get away. Away from high school. Away from her backwater town. Away from her parents who seem determined to keep her imprisoned in their dead-end lives. But one crazy evening involving a dare and forbidden railroad tracks, she goes way too far...and almost doesn't make it back.
John made a choice to stay. To enforce the rules. To serve and protect. He has nothing but contempt for what he sees as childish rebellion, and he wants to teach Meg a lesson she won't soon forget. But Meg pushes him to the limit by questioning everything he learned at the police academy. And when he pushes back, demanding to know why she won't be tied down, they will drive each other to the edge -- and over....
Review:
Going Too Far is a must read. This story is truly unforgettable.
Meg goes too far one night and as punishment is assigned to follow John on night shifts for one week during spring vacation.
Both Meg and John have been effected by tragic events in their past. Each go to very extensive lengths to leave their lives in accordance to how their past has influenced them.
Meg has decided to live her life to the fullest and escape this small town she has lived in her entire life.
John intends to live his life by the law.
Both push the other to see the world from their eyes and by doing so push one another too far. The question is, will their love for one another with stand tests, or will they push each other too far.
This is one love story you won’t want to miss. I find myself reading this book again and again.
Jennifer Echols has written two characters that are full of strength and bravery. You will laugh, cry and find yourself routing for each character as they face each obstacle that they come up against.
