There is just something about revenge stories that fascinate me. Perhaps it is because revenge is something we all (admit it) fantasize about at some point, but rarely bring to fruition. Perhaps it is because it seems to always leave a path of destruction behind it. This is the case with Revenge, Ice Cream, […]

The Novice By Taran Matharu
The Novice takes cues from many books that are fantasy staples and combines them to create a story where class, money, and even some political intrigue build an interesting world. Fletcher’s beginnings are both mysterious and humble. The mythology of The Orphan with hidden powers is strong in this book and while his path to […]
Boys Don’t Knit By T.S. Easton
The best part about Boys Don’t Knit was that it was laugh out loud funny from beginning to end. Ben doesn’t really mean to get into trouble, but with his group of goofball friends and a very ill conceived plan to get alcohol for a party that they weren’t really invited to, things go […]
Shutter By Courtney Alameda
I am neither a horror fan nor a big urban fantasy reader, but despite that, Shutter really worked for me. From the first pages, you are pulled into Micheline’s world, which is a pseudo-military world full of danger, constant training, and the duty to protect. In Shutter’s world, the existence of supernatural beings, from ghosts […]
Mortal Danger By Ann Aguirre
There are few things I like better than a good revenge story. Mortal Danger had all of the right set-up elements for a good one: a hopeless teen, an irresistible offer, and a transformation that came at a steep cost. Edie’s experience with being bullied were truly awful and at the beginning of the […]
Trial By Fire By Josephine Angelini
Books featuring alternate worlds have always been my favorite, so when I read the jacket copy for Trial By Fire, I was in for the long haul. Josephine Angelini’s world creation was very good and I was immediately invested in not only the two worlds, but also the people who inhabited them. The Salem […]

Broken Hearts, Fences, and Other Things to Mend By Katie Finn
When I first picked up this book, I balked a bit because I had a pretty hard time feeling sympathy for a teen who is “forced” to spend the summer with her father in a fabulous beach house in The Hamptons, but I quickly discovered that this summer read had a lot going on. Gemma’s […]
