Words cannot even begin to explain how wonderful this debut novel is! I could not put this book down. Taking place in the futuristic Manhattan, it weaves in the tale of Romeo and Juliet with all the romance and deception and mixes it with a bit of the mystical...
This is the first book in the Conquered Earth series, and although I cannot wait to read the next installment, it took me awhile to get into the story. Midnight City is a bit of dystopian mixed with the alien invasion genre. The story has a sense...
Dead Cat Bounce was an unexpected read. Although the first half of the novel was heavy of the banking and trading issues, Nic Bennett kept it fresh and fast paced. Dead Cat Bounce focuses on the Financial Crisis of 2008, a crisis still affecting the world today. ...
Mickey Bolitar is only 16, but he is smart and understands more than most people think. He has managed to solve one mystery and is instantly thrown into another in this second novel. In Seconds Away, Mickey Bolitar searches for the truth about his dad, the crazy bat lady and...
Amber House contains some great elements of a Gothic novel. Once Sarah finds herself at Amber House, she hears the faint laughter of children- who aren't there, visions in mirrors, and a faint sense that someone is always watching her. I loved the history behind the house...
I might never look at fast food the same way again... The Infects pays tribute to the classic zombie tale with a unique twist. Sean Beaudoin has a style that is all his own. The story stays true to the purity of the zombie novel while...
Phew! What a roller coaster of a read. The Turning, a modern day retelling of the Turn of the Screw, is a thrill ride full of twists and shadows. I picked up the book one evening and could not go to sleep until I knew how it would end! As...
The Paladin Prophesy keeps you on the edge of your seat! Fans of I am Number Four and The Bourne Identity will be fans of The Paladin Prophesy. Right from the very beginning the action draws you into the book. You instantly feel a connection to Will and...
Ever since I finished Dust and Decay, I have had my heart on reading Flesh and Bone, I missed Benny, Nix, and Liliah. As always, Jonathan Mayberry does not disappoint. There is non- stop action, but there is a depth to the story that goes beyond the typical zombie genre...
Ten is an " on the edge of your seat thriller". I was thrilled to hear talk of Ten being a modern day telling of And Then There Were None. Similar to the novel, ten teenagers are picked off one by one. The true mystery being- who is the murderer?...

Origin brings the reader into the world of Little Cam with ease and a flawless description. The plot is original, filled with action and romance. It builds suspense as readers delve deeper into the Amazon with the heroine, Pia. Pia, is immortal, and at 17 has the world on...
Take a handful 1980s John Hughes teen flicks throw in some snarky British humor and a load of zombies and you have the "funtastic" thrill ride of Undead. I love Kirsty McKay's writing style. The story is fast paced and easy to read. Bobby, our narrator, is...
The Kill Order takes place thirteen years prior to the initial time setting of The Maze Runner. This is before Thomas and the Glades, even before WICKED was created. This is the story of Mark and Alec and their group of survivors after the Sun Flares. For...
This is Not a Test is not your average zombie book. It is action packed and leaves you on the edge of your seat, yet the zombies tend to lurk on the outskirts of the story- tiptoeing in the shadows of the story. This Is Not a...
