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 […]
Skandal By Lindsay Smith
The world of Skandal, while not in Russia anymore, was equally fascinating in this continuation of Yulia’s story. The setting of Cold War era Washington D.C. might not be the USSR, but it was still full of just as many dangerous plots, double-crosses, and political landmines. Yulia has been put into service […]

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 […]
Finding Mr. Brightside By Jay Clark
I enjoy love stories whose path is perhaps a bit unusual, and Finding Mr. Brightside fit the bill. While Juliette and Abram knew of each other, they didn’t really know each other, even after they were connected by tragedy. In one fell swoop, Abram and Juliette both lost parents and their […]

The Island Of Excess Love By Francesca Lia Block
The first book, Love in the Time of Global Warming, was a loose retelling of the Odyssey, and in The Island of Excess Love, we take a journey that somewhat follows The Aeneid. I am not as familiar with the Aeneid, so I can tell you that if you have never […]
The Boy Next Door By Katie Van Ark
The reason I picked this up was because when I saw the cover, all I could think of was the movie The Cutting Edge (It’s from the 90s, kids. You should watch it.) Although I have zero talent for ice skating, due to my terminal case of being a Texan, I have always […]
Stone In The Sky By Cecil Castellucci
I loved being back on Yertina Feray, and Stone In The Sky was a wonderful continuation of a book I really enjoyed. Once again, the world of the space station, with its multiple alien species and sometime dangerous blending of cultures, formed a world in which I could immerse myself. Tula survived […]
