The Winner’s Curse was one of my very favorite books last year and so I was both excited and little nervous to start The Winner’s Crime. Almost immediately, I was thrown back into the dangerous political game that Kestrel was playing and any worries I had about whether this book would be as good as […]

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 […]
I’ll Meet You There By Heather Demetrios
There is a lot to love about I’ll Meet You There. Set in a small, fairly isolated town in California, this story pulls you in and completely envelopes you in the lives of two young people who are both facing big changes and big decisions. Skylar has worked very hard to set up a […]
Cut Me Free By J.R. Johansson
Cut Me Free begins with a girl who you can tell right away has survived something traumatic. What you find as you read this book is that she is rebuilding her life after surviving horrible circumstances. The descriptions of abuse are pretty detailed, so they could be triggering for some readers. Charlotte’s character, despite being […]
Blog Tour: The Ghosts Of Heaven
The Ghosts of Heaven is a unique and amazing book that I really enjoyed. It’s one that will stay on your mind long after you read it. I was really excited to have a chance to ask Marcus Sedgwick a few questions about The Ghosts Of Heaven. I love hearing how stories begin […]
The Ghosts Of Heaven By Marcus Sedgwick
I never know quite what to expect when I read a Marcus Sedgwick novel, and once again, he has written a book that I really enjoyed, but have a hard time explaining. The Ghosts Of Heaven is written in four parts that are interconnected and all have a common thread, if you will. That […]
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 […]
Evidence Of Things Not Seen By Lindsey Lane
What I thought was going to be a mystery about a missing teen turned into a story that wasn’t quite non-linear, but wasn’t quite linear, either. The disappearance of Tommy Smythe has confounded the small Texas town where he lived. The story is told in first person, one sided conversations with law enforcement, scraps of […]
The Vault Of Dreamers By Caragh M. O’Brien
Although it is set in the future, The Forge School, and its attached reality show, sounds like something we could find on TV right now. I think that is what first drew me to the story. As a main character, I really liked Rosie, who is part artist, part sleuth. Her humble background and […]
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 […]
