The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, Book 1)
The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, Book 1)

Review:This book has all the ingredients of a great read. Well written, great story, terrific characters and unexpected twists and turns. Basically it's about 4 boys from an elite high school studying ley lines (supernatural energy highways) in search of a lost kings burial cite. Along the way they meet a girl from a family of psychics who, while not psychic, is full of energy and helps the boys enhance their search. Lots of twists regarding some of the boys, secrets and revelations. This is not a ... Read more

The Eye of Minds (The Mortality Doctrine - Book One)

Review:This book is a great technical thriller and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout its entirety! I loved how the author used a virtual reality world that was intertwined with reality somewhat to change up the plotline. Read more

and Gray Moon Rising - All Hallows' Moon
and Gray Moon Rising - All Hallows' Moon

Review:For a YA werewolf collection, these books weren't actually too bad to read. I enjoyed most of it, although I do have a few complaints.
My biggest complaint was the lack of awareness about canine/lupine biology. There is no need for the human knees to turn backwards. Canine legs may look different, but they have knees that face the exact same way ours do. Dogs and wolves walk on their toes. The backward part of the legs is the equivalent to our heel. That annoyed the hell out of me every time ... Read more

School of Deaths (The Scythe Wielder's Secret Book 1)
School of Deaths (The Scythe Wielder's Secret Book 1)

Review:I was pleasantly surprised on the story of this book. It contained themes that were easily relate-able to me and possibly to others such as bullying and the feeling of loneliness, etc.. The main character, Suzie, was one that I enjoyed seeing this strawberry-smelling land of a world through. She didn't grate my nerves on how she dealt with the hand she was given. She persevered through harsh times with the help of some friends she meets right away. I was grateful for the genuine relationship bet... Read more

Hunter
Hunter

Review:Hunter by Eden Summers is an entertaining book that will have you hooked from the first words until the last. The plot is engaging, well written and the characters so well written that a connection is almost instantly formed. Once you start reading this book, it's practically impossible to put it down. In what can be considered a monotonous world of romance, Eden Summers brings a fresh, gripping, up beat and at times heartwrenching perspective that is reinvigorating and exhilarating.

I vo... Read more

Ink (The Paper Gods series, Book 2): 1

Review:Combining a stranger in a strange land, ancient mythology and oddly morphing sketches this was a book that was filled with action and description, all setting the stage for what will be an enthralling series.

Katie's mother has recently died, and the will states that she is to live with her aunt in the city of Shizuoka Japan. Struggling with her loss, learning a new city and language, and being wholly gaijin in a city without many foreigners, Katie is lonely, depressed and understandably... Read more

Goliath (Leviathan Book 3)
Goliath (Leviathan Book 3)

Review:I have greatly enjoyed Scott Westerfeld's "Leviathan" trilogy. It breathes new life into an often-overlooked historical event -- the first World War -- and uses its steampunk and biopunk elements to serve the plot and build a richly realized setting rather than using it as a cheap gimmick as some "steampunk" novels are wont to do. Both the previous books, "Leviathan" and "Behemoth," were fascinating and vastly entertaining, and I had high hopes for the final book in the series, which I hoped w... Read more
