Book Reviews of Blue is for Nightmares
Book Review: One of the Greatest Books I Have Ever Read!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this book as a Chrsitmas present, and it was my favortite one!My Mother works with Laurie Stolarz's husband, and he got it signed for me. I really enjoyed the book and read it on Christmas Day.
I am a avid reader, and have read many, many books in my life, and this is in my top 3.
Stacey, a young Wiccan, was someone I could relate too. She goes through problems, and I found her has a 3-D character. Sometimes she seemed 2-D, but that was wuickly erased when you found out more about her.
The ending really surpried me! I thought that I knew for sure who was the killer, and, before the girl died, I thought I knew who it was. I was wrong on both. This book keeps you guessing. I would highly recommened to anyone who like to read!
Book Review: Cast a spell on me
Summary: 5 Stars
Secrets -- there seem to be lots of them at Hillcrest boarding school. Even Stacey has one. Since the start of the school year, she dreads sleep because she's been having nightmares about her roommate, Drea. But that's not her secret. The real reason she performs a ritual with candles and sage before bed is not so much to make the nightmares go away, but to make the bedwetting stop. Yup, that's right. In the midst of these nightmares where she's desperately trying to find Drea, 16-year old Stacey wets the bed. Combine that horribly disgusting secret with the fact that the last time she ignored her nightmares, a little girl wound up dead, and you've got a real sense of urgency within a carefully crafted maze of a plot. You see, Stacey is descended from a long line of witches, or Wiccans -- as in followers of the Wicca religion. She knows card reading, potions, and spells, passed down from her grandmother. And she knows the nightmares and the bedwetting are happening for a reason. Even the cards spell out trouble for Drea, who eventually confesses to getting strange, anonymous emails, phone calls, and messages. So Stacey knows she has to pay attention to her dreams, in spite of the miserable bedwetting. When the same lilies that appear in her nightmares show up in the girls' bathroom, Stacey and Drea know that the stalker's not out there somewhere, but right nearby -- in school. Yet their attempt to find out the stalker's identity with the help of their friends, only leads them in circles. In the middle of it all, another student is murdered. From then on, Stacey's nightmares take on an even greater urgency. And everyone's paying attention. Which is a good thing when it comes to keeping Drea safe, but a bad thing when it comes to the bedwetting.
As is the nature of secrets, they are eventually revealed, and it seems like even their closest friends have something to hide when it comes to the unfortunate dead student. Could someone they eat lunch with and gossip with, someone they sit next to in class, actually be capable of murder? Through Stacey's spellbinding race to save Drea's life, she unravels the string of secrets and understands everything -- even the bedwetting.
Lovers of the hocus-pocus, Harry Potter style of witchcraft might be disappointed. But lovers of the spiritual side of Wicca will be in heaven. Into this real life mystery, Laurie Stolarz weaves an education about true witchcraft combined with a lesson in dream interpretation. She truly has a gift for lifting witchcraft out of the shadow of the broomstick and into the modern world. "Blue is for Nightmares" cast a spell on me.

If you want a good mystery about teenagers, then this is it! It starts out with a girl named Stacy, and she is reading Terot cards for her best friend Drea. She ends up pulling up the death card. Soon Drea is getting strange phone calls and recieving lilies, and for those of you that don't know, that is the flower of death. Not that being stocked and threatened wasn't enough Stacy is falling (or already tripped and fell on her face) for Drea's ex-boyfriend Chad. Soon there is a big Sherlock Holmes thing going on while Stacy tries to save Drea's life, and her own.This is a very good book and I would suggest it to anybody even if you don't like mysteries, because it has more than just mystery there is also romance, and...well thats basically all you need, right?
So if you are looking for as god couch suggeling book here it is.

Summary: 5 Stars
This novel is a mix of Nancy Drew and Poltergeist: The Legacy. Take an average bunch of teens attending a boarding school (okay, so most "average" teens don't attend boarding school, but why quibble about the small stuff?), add a dash of little-understood psychic phenomena and stir well, add a dash of psycho-stalker and young love. Serve. What you have is a wonderfully gripping novel which, although aimed at teens, resonates with everyone.
