The Warlock (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel)
The Warlock (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel)

Review:This is my favorite book in the series. Another reviewer said that the series is even more addictive than the Harry Potter series, I couldn't agree more. I loved everything about it, my only problem was that Scott finished where he did. I mean I like the surprise and all when, sorry I can't say who shows up, all I can say is that it is the biggest surprise of the series, so it should have been saved for the last book's begining. That's my opinion. But otherwise I loved it. Scott really makes you... Read more

The Sorceress (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel)
The Sorceress (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel)

Review:Michael Scott does an excellent job with continuing this saga. As in previous books, it is non-stop stress / action as Flamel struggles to keep the twins alive and safe. Sacrifices are made. Additionally, Perenelle finally turns the tables. But there are loses some of which may be difficult to recover. Read more

The Unexpected Everything
The Unexpected Everything

Review:My favorite part of this book was Andie's relationship with her dad. So many YA and middle grade books stick their characters in boarding school or summer camp or a parentless dystopia (because parents ruin adventures). With parents, sometimes it seems there would be no plot, since nothing dangerous or life changing would ever be allowed to happen.

But in The Unexpected Everything, Andie's politician dad is suddenly at home, and so, unexpectedly, is Andie. She's never had a real parental ... Read more

Vampire Kisses
Vampire Kisses

Review:Vampire kisses is a quick (emphasis on quick - I finished this one in like 3 hours)and very fun read. The Vampire Kisses series is most likely my personal guilty pleasure. I've never judged this series as hardly as I judge others, mainly because I don't take it as seriously, but on the last two installments I have found myself trying very hard not to roll my eyes with the recurring setting of each of the Vampire Kisses books. In every single installment, someone new arrives, it represents some k... Read more

Double Cross: Book 4 (Noughts And Crosses)
Double Cross: Book 4 (Noughts And Crosses)

Review:As usual the ending is unpredictable! I like the way Patterson wraps up his stories - the endings are as thought out as the rest of the story. I always recommend the Alex Cross stories to other Patterson fans in my circle. Read more

The Fallen 4: Forsaken
The Fallen 4: Forsaken

Review:This was a great start to the series. It was a little violent and graphic for my tastes but good story. However I can't believe how expensive the fourth book in the series is. Luckily my local library was able to get it for me. Read more

White Cat (The Curse Workers)
White Cat (The Curse Workers)

Review:I liked that the book starts with action and humor right away, with Cassel waking up on the roof in his underwear while the rest of the students at his boarding school are watching from the courtyard, egging him on to jump. Immediately, the reader gets this bond with Cassel: he may be conning the rest of the world, but he lets the reader know how and why he's doing it. For me, character likability is a major factor in how I form an opinion about a book. As those who read my review of Megan Wh... Read more

Valiant: A Modern Faerie Tale
Valiant: A Modern Faerie Tale

Review:This uneven and meandering follow-up to Tithe has more of the same infantile adults (are there any other kind in Black's world?), misguided teen "rebels" and shocking content, along with a clunky attempt to address substance abuse.

Faerie drugs are bad, m'kay. We get it.

And, once again, most of the characters are so unlikable you don't really care what happens to them.

Somewhere in this mess of a story is a modern day Beauty and the Beast, only the beauty goes out of her w... Read more

A Novella (Kindle Single) (The selection) - The Queen
A Novella (Kindle Single) (The selection) - The Queen

Review:This is a great addition to the Selection series. I loved hearing the back story of the Queen and King; it provided some great insight into their personalities in the Selection series. It allowed me to have a little more respect for the King. I would definitely recommend reading this if you liked the Selection books! I just wish it was longer! Read more
