Gemini Night
Bonnie Hearn Hill

I've been a fan of Bonnie Hearn Hill since her first book. She has always been able to capture a reader's imagination no matter what genre she might be writing.

Gemini Night is a young adult. In the third book of the Star Crossed series, Logan McRae, is a junior at Terra Bella Beach High. A talented writer, Logan is thrilled to be working as an intern for a popular teen magazine housed in San Francisco.

Though this is a wonderful opportunity for the teen, nothing is moving smoothly from relationships with Logan's classmates, her schoolwork, her parents' divorce, and most traumatic of all, the fact that her boyfriend, Jeremy, may have fallen out of love with her.

A talented astrologist, Logan relies on the stars to help her figure out what she ought to do.

The author has done a great job capturing teenage angst as she tells the story from Logan's point-of-view. Gemini Night is a fascinating read with intriguing characters and plenty of twists and turns to keep any reader turning pages.

Gemini Night was definitely my favorite book in the Star Crossed series. I thought this story was so adorable! I could not put it down. Like with the previous books, I learned more about astrology than I could have ever thought to want to know. It was interesting to see how much of astrology applied to me through my sign.

In this book, Logan has earned an internship at a magazine. Using her astrology skills, she discovers that someone will be in trouble on the night of the huge costume party! The mystery in this book was so much fun to read. It had me guessing right until the end.

My favorite part of this book was the ending. It was so cute! Such a happy ending that I really enjoyed. I also liked how the characters continued to grow. Logan learns more about astrology and how to apply it to her life. She learns not to jump to conclusions, and she overcomes some boyfriend problems. Paige probably grows the most. She is not the quiet girl from the first book. She comes out of her shell in a great way!

Gemini Night is a fun book. I loved the story full of excitement and mystery. I really enjoy how Bonnie Hearn Hill writes. Her writing pace is just perfect. I am looking forward to reading her other books.

The Astro Girl is back in this third book of the Star Crossed series. And might I say, back she is and traipsing around San Francisco (always wanted to go there!). I think that this third book in the series was my very favorite. I'm sure it's because I knew all the characters better than in book one *duh* and the plot was fun and suspenseful. I always like a good turn of events and Hill has given me just that.

In this book, we get to see Logan in all her writing glory, but we also get to see some more of her friends Chilli and Paige. It was interesting to see their character development take off, especially for Paige. Plus, there was a whole new mystery for Logan to solve with the stars. It's funny how 3 little books could pull me in so much and actually interest me in astrology. Because I'm dead serious when I say I've never been into it.

But, Hill has done an amazing job of presenting it in a way that intrigues the reader. Plus, with all the new characters and plot twists, you won't expect what awaits on the path of the cosmos. Because with high maintenance singers, kidnappings, costume parties and maybe some love at last for our dear Logan, you'll want to pick up this book. If you haven't read the first 2 and you like YA contemporary fiction, I recommend the series for a light fun read that will make you laugh and maybe even remember what good friends are for!

I haven't read the entire book yet. I did read the first chapter on the Figment Blog: [...] It seems like a very interesting read and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds from there. The style of writing is very unique, kind of catchy. I like the way she incorporates astrology into YA fiction without making it too unrealistic. She sets up the perfect balance of what it's like to be a teenage girl and the magic of astrology.
