The Girl Who Died by Wendy Dranfield

The Girl Who Died
Guilt consumes Hannah, it prevents her from leading a normal life. Her nights are full of nightmares and her days of remorse. But she deserves it, doesn't she? She's done something unspeakable, something she cannot change.
Making poor decisions as a teenager is part of the growing process for most people and Hanna is no exception.

At the beginning I read voraciously, wanting to know what, when, how and why she had done what she did. Eager for answers. Then the book slowed down a bit and I got my responses which unfortunately didn't satisfy me a hundred percent. I understood the situation and although it was plausible, some parts were certainly a bit difficult to believe.

I would not recommend this novel to young readers because there are some issues in the book that may upset sensitive people. They made me skip several pages because I just cannot deal with reading about certain topics which involve hurting children.

How to Live and Die in Crescent Rock by Bree Wolf

How to Live and Die in Crescent Rock (Crescent Rock, #1)
If you think you are done with books about vampires, werewolves and similar creatures, think twice. This book may make you return to the genre and put a smile on your face.

It's not perfect though, it made me roll my eyes several times and it's full of clichés. However, the characters are likeable even when they are annoying and there are surprises you won't see coming.

I recommend this novel to fans of the genre who thought they had read it all.

How to get to Kuala Lumpur Chinatown & Central Market

It is a must to visit KL Chinatown if you want to taste some street food while you shop for fakes and Chinese gifts to take home. If you want quality crafts the Central Market is the place to go. You can access both using KL Monorail: get off at Maharajalela station and go down the stairs, on your right you will see two temples which are small but nice, just keep walking and you will see the Petaling Street sign, which is the entrance to Chinatown.
 After walking along the street just keep walking a little bit more to the left and you will soon see the sign Kasturi Walk at the entrance of Central Market. Take into account that there are some stalls outside the market but the nicer ones are inside.
