Darkness Before Dawn
The first couple of pages alone grabs you and makes you think ALL the way back to HIGH SCHOOL Graduation, a very significant mark in everyone’s lives young or old.
With this I did a lot of thinking on my goals that I set after I graduate high school and many were filled and others were ignored. Like here other book makes you people your own life in perspective, whether you like it or not. Now back to the book, before she even makes her speeches she gives us a glimpse of her life in vague hints. She also seem to be having anxiety attack by having to say breathe. With her overwhelming emotions with Andy and as she progresses in her inner thoughts you can feel there is something else infuriating those emotions.

Forged by FIRE
If I had to re-tell this story I would only change the end. Other than that the story was great. Even though it’s great that MR. SPARKS (FORGED BY FIRE sooo ironic) is gone but I wish should would went a little further in Angel life at least one year later. Telling how she has this controlling boyfriend or something!!! Also to see a turn around in Monique to show that she is actually a mother and not some junkies looking for love. Now about Gerald, I think everyone wants to see him succeed in whatever he does because he's such a strong person and has gone through so much to keep his 'family' together. These books are very compelling to read and keep your attention throughout the novel or should I say series. Sharon Draper always leaves you wanting more, just to know something else about her fascinating characters lives.
