The Rise of Nine by Pittacus Lore

The Lorien Garde are finally banding together. On their separate trips, both Four and Six find more Garde members, and bring them together to face their enemy. Setrakus Ra, the leader of the Mogadorians, has come to Earth. Are the Garde reasy to fight him?

I am LOVING this series. I can't wait for the next one!

The Power of Six by Pittacus Lore

Number 7 is living in an orphanage in Spain with a Cepan who no longer believes in their mission.  She's miserable, has only one friend, and is obsessed with following a boy named John Smith on the internet. Number 7 is convinced he's one of the Garde. Can she convince her Cepan to come with her to find the others? Will the Mogs find her before she can leave?

I loved the second book in this series! I really like how this one focused on a different member of the Garde. I am already reading the third book, The Rise of Nine!

I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore

Constantly moving from place to place, always assuming a new identity, John Smith (at least that's what he's called for now) has lead a life on the run. With his guardian, Henri, keeping an ever-watchful eye on the news, he has to be ready to move at the first sign of trouble. When he feels the new scar form around his ankle, the one signifying that the third of the nine children from his planet has been killed, he knows it is time to go. Not only will the evil Mogadorians still be searching for him, this time they will be able to kill him because he is Number Four. When they settle in the little town of Paradise, Ohio, John finds many reasons not to leave. He makes his first real friend. He's falling in love with a girl who just may love him back. But the Mogadorians are moving ever closer and the fate of his planet and ours hangs in the balance.

While the writing style was a little dry, the story was compelling and the action was very suspenseful. Look for the sequel, The Power of Six, due out in August. There's also a movie based on the book due out on February 18.
