My favorite book is the series of The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting. I loved this book because it always kept me on my seat and you never expected anything to happen. The main character Violet was always doing adventurous things and was not afraid to do things, even if she knew that it might get dangerous. She was able to sense dead people, so things always were mixed up
My favorite genre of books is realistic fiction because those books are the easiest to relate to. When I know something cannot actually happen in real life, I have a hard time being able to relate to how to character is feeling about something.
The book I am currently reading is called Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult.  In the book, the main character is a woman named Nina who is a lawyer for kids that have been abused. She deals with these cases everyday and does not think anything more of them until it happens to her own child. She is determined to find out who did this to her child, which causes her to do crazy things. On top of that, her son Nathaniel will not talk. His doctor has to try to get him to speak through sign language. That is when they find out he was abused by his father. Nina goes off the edge and files restraining orders on him, but does not get why Nathaniel keeps signing that he wants his dad back. They find out he meant to sign for father as in priest not father as in his dad. Nina now is determined as ever to find out which priest it is. As time goes on Nathaniel learns to speak again and identifies the abuser as Father Glen. Patrick, a close friend of Nina has, goes to ask the priest questions, and later arrests him without getting a real confession. When the priest goes to court, Nina shows up a little late. This is very unusual because the priest is on trial for killing her son.  That is when once the trial is going on; Nina pulls out a gun and shoots the priest in the head. The courthouse goes into a wild rampage and she is forced down to the ground by Patrick. She is taken to the holding cell where she is now on the other side of the table. Now she is being charged with murder. Nina has been asked many questions that she is normally the one asking. This is confusing to her because she wants to be the one in charge but she is not.
