Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports (Maximum Ride, Book 3) by James Patterson
There's one last chance to save the world in MAXIMUM RIDE: SAVING THE WORLD AND OTHER EXTREME SPORTS, the closing chapter of James Patterson's thrilling trilogy. The time has arrived for Max and her winged "flock" to face their ultimate enemy and discover their original purpose: to defeat the takeover of "Re-evolution", a sinister experiment to re-engineer a select population into a scientifically superior master race...and to terminate the rest. Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman, and Angel have always worked together to defeat the forces working against them--but can they save the world when they are torn apart, living in hiding and captivity, halfway across the globe from one another?When You Believe by Jessica Barksdale Inclan
Running from three thugs, Miranda Stead seeks safety, plunging through the first unlocked doorway she finds,into a place she should never have been able to enter.

He must now use the power of his touch to erase her memory of all she has seen that evening, but first he'll use his magical powers in another way.The Beautiful Being by Jessica Barksdale Inclan(ARC)
There is nothing but nothing. Everything is simply darkness, a black swirling hole in the middle of a void that is enormous, bigger than all the words that could possibly describe it. In this monstrous darkness, there is no light, no swirl of stars, no planets blinking in the reflection of a sun.
But as he looks more closely, as he stares into the nothing, he sees an eddy, a movement, a pooling of the black fabric of the nothing. The pooling intensifies, grows more vigorous, turns into a stream, a current beating against rocks, the shore, beating against the blackness. Becoming denser, it forms an orb, a circle of molten night, swirling against itself, until the colors begin to change, to shift. It pulses, flickers, flares black and red, pulses into being, spinning fast, a whoosh of matter. The orb grows larger, enough so that when it spins, it seems to pull the fabric of darkness with it, turning the darkness into colors—brown, green, blue, red, white—colors that now form and cover the orb.
Behind and around the orb, the darkness fills with light, first the tiny pinpricks of stars and then the glow of a much larger star, a star that must be warm, that must give life, the light hot and orange and bright. The slowing orb seems to absorb the light, taken in the warmth, slow into a regular spin, beginning it seems to orbit the large star.
He wants to go down to this world. He can imagine what it is like, teaming with animals and full with plant life. Enormous, dense forests, wide plains of grasses, mountain with snow caps. He can almost feel the salt tang of the many oceans, full of fish, of whales and seals and dolphin. Under the water there are more colors: aqua, indigo, vermillion, topaz, sunflower, pink. This world is perfect, pristine, lovely, and his, a place that he wants to take care of and honor and live on. All he wants is to be on this world, to run on it, roll on it, breathe in the sweet air, but just as he’s about to push himself there, the orb begins to change again, spinning slightly as it does. It’s morphing from an orb into a shape, and figure, a form. It’s still brown and green and blue and red and white, but it is now an hourglass, no a body, no a woman.
He stares at the shape, watching the colors slowly fade the neutral, to beige, to sun kissed taupe. The woman now has hair, hair long and blonde and flowing. As he stares at her, the woman looks up at him with eyes the color of warm earth. She knows him. She’s waiting for him. She wants him. She’s the world, his world. She’s what he wants, more than anything.
But as he moves toward her, this woman who is his world, the only world he wants, the dream breaks into shards, one azure eye caught in a shining reflection of glass and light. And then he is awake.

Red Dice is the third book of the Last Vampire Series. It was a short read, But still awesome. This book to me let me know more about Alisa/Sita. She thinks of her self as some evil monster, she wants to be human again and have her old life back. She has so much past, it has come to haunt her. She doesn't like to kill people, i guess death to her makes her seem more of a monster. She doesn't like blood because she's afraid of what it can do, the power it holds. Blood plays a BIG roll in the storyline.
Sita is very religious, she doesn't want to fall from Krishna's(her god) grace. But at the same time she has to do what she has to do, in hopes of Krishna forgiving her. Every time something good happens something bad happens in return. With Yashka's blood in her veins it has granted her more power and stregth. She has grown attached to her human friend Simon, her other half. He has like these "visions" about her. In Black Blood in High School Sita cured him of Aids.
Alisha/Sita meets someone from her past, that just adds to the mix and loses someone from the present. Red Dice is an awesome book.
I was cracking up a one part of the story because she is kick bleep, she just finish um.."slaying"(so she had blood on her clothes), she had to put an a mickey mouse shirt lol. It was so not her.
