Mysteries & Thrillers
Review:I sped through this book in a matter of hours because I was dying to figure out who A was. I gave up on guessing about A's identity around book 6, so I was finally happy to figure out who was behind all the madness. I was also glad that even though this is the last book in the series, the author still found ways to include a whole bunch of new twists and turns. I wish the twists had a bit more time to develop because there were some HUGE things to get used to, but I was so caught up in the book ... Read more

Review:There has been a lot said about this novel so I will just post my thoughts on the novel. I liked all the secrets that everyone was harboring. It’s not only that they were the only individuals who were in the room when Simon was killed, there are other motivators that make these teens the likely suspect. It’s all the ghosts in the closets that everyone felt they are hiding but in reality, Simon knew. When all the ghosts start showing their faces, a finger could be pointed at any of them. I e...

Review:This book was yet another classic from the Tamora Pierce we've all come to love. The reunion of all the characters is nice, even if it's not completely necessary to the story and Aly is such a fun character. Personally I found that the lucky she exerted was a bit much in finding masters both kind and unabusive, but as fate would have it, gods had a hand in it, so it's answered nicely before I got too annoyed by the unlikelyhood of it.My only real qualms about this series is that there will only...

Meg got a scholarship to University and Cody's biding her time raising funds to eventually join Meg.

Review:My Thoughts: Geez, I thought I would love this one, seriously. Usually I like these kind of novels even though it seems like there are a lot of them. Girl stuck between two boys where the boys are on different sides.
Well, we are introduced to Lorelei who lost her parents a while ago. They went missing and nobody knows why/where. Lorelei lives with her grandparents now.
A new boy comes to town and takes an interest in her. His name is Jared. But this also draws the attention of Cam... Read more
Review:This book is gives a realistic perspective of events than are happening around us today. As an educator, I would use this for a literature discussion for 8th grade and up. Tells both sides of a story. I couldn't put it down Read more
Review:This book is breathtaking. I just finished it about five minutes ago and am having a hard time organizing my thoughts because this book is just so incredible on so many levels. The prose, for starters. Toe-curlingly good. I caught my breath a few times. The characters are well-drawn and quirky in the best possible way and just so living and breathing and aching that you can't help but feel for them. The story is incredibly original, the magic makes me feel like I'm a little kid again swimming ar... Read more
