Review:I selected the book based on the strong rating and description in the short synopsis, but was disappointed. Bit too chatty and too thin for my literary taste. Did not hold my interest. Took long time to develop the story. Stopped reading after chapter 9. Coming to Rosemont Read more

Review:Thirty-four year old Dr. Greta Helsing has her hands full. It's not easy dealing with the "differently alive"--vampires, ghouls, banshees, mummies, and the like--who need discreet medical attention from a sympathetic practitioner. Various creatures regularly visit Greta's Harley Street clinic in London to seek cures for whatever ails them. Dr. Helsing does not get rich from pursuing this unusual vocation, but she does have the satisfaction of knowing that her patients appreciate the empathetic... Read more

Review:Clever idea, something of a letdown in the execution.
In typical hypocritical fashion, towards the second half of the book we learn that one character hates guns, another bemoans the availability of guns, and we are then treated to an extended action sequence where guns are used about as much as in a Rambo movie. I would have preferred my Scooby Doo without the author's politics.
Still, there are some parts that are well done. The general layout of this alternate Scooby world is pretty goo... Read more

Review:"Lydia heard the distant flap of paper wings as the first book fell from its shelf." (p 1)
"And though she wanted to close her eyes and feel the promise of this moment, she couldn't help but look beyond his shoulder, hoping to see for one last time the girl he'd just erased from the screen." (p.326).

Review:The book had a great description of the store that was described as an Ikea knock off, but I didn't find the book gripping, it was just alright. I liked the idea of the book but it could have been better and ended differently. Read more

Review:Fans of Peter Pan will relish this inventive back-story. We all know who James Hook is and several other writers have attempted to create his back-story, not all with success. Christina Henry has done a fine job with LOST BOY in showing how a very young Hook started out idolizing Peter Pan and the events that turned that love into resentment and eventually hatred-fueled obsession.

Review:I came across this series after I read the Hunger Games. As much as I love the Hunger Games, I've re-read each of these books at least three more times. It's so insightful, and compelling. I find new details each time I read them. If you or your kids enjoyed the Hunger Games, this is an excellent series and will bring up some interesting topics of conversations of family, technology and priorities in life. Read more

Review:Loved seeing what happened to the characters. The author successfully creates a world that seems believable in another place and time. We are reminded of how good we have it with technological advancements, modern appliances, time for sports & entertainment, not to mention clean air and fresh water! Read more

Review:Very well written, but realize this book is a sequel and you must read the first two to understand this one ( I also recommend those two books ) but this storyline is great with how the previous parallel novels come together in this book. ....the perfect balance of romance and action.
