Book #2 of the Secret Hero Society does not disappoint. Fans of Study Hall of Justice will not be disappointed. Book 2 begins during Ducard Academy's summer break. Our favorite hero, Clark, Bruce, and Diana have all received invitations to attend the Evergreen Adventure Camp. This camp is...

I have always been a big fan of the horror genre. While I tend to be the type that hides their eyes behind open fingers at the movie theater, I am a true horror fan when it comes to books. One thing that is for sure is that Kim...

I have been on a true crime kick lately. With multiple snow days, I have found myself listening to podcasts and binge watching true crime stories. Who Killed Christopher Goodman by Allan Wolf fits right into my newest obsession. What struck me right away is that it is loosely based...

The Girl from Everywhere is one of my favorite reads from December. I have one disclaimer that I was immediately drawn to the premise of the book due to the fact Nix was born in Hawaii in 1868. My mother was born in Hawaii and her family is native to...

What caught my attention first was the wonderfully creepy cover. Having a need to fill my need for a Gretchen McNeil type book, I instantly gravitated to The Women in the Walls. What I liked best: The Women in the Walls hooks the reader instantly. Amy...

I read Orbiting Jupiter after getting a great recommendation from the school media center. This short book at first might seem like a short novella of sorts, but it packs a powerful punch. I was warned that once I read the first page, I would find myself stuck in my...

The prologue of Harmony House had me hooked on the very first sentence. Overall the book is a fast read and has twists and turns to help give that "spooky" story feel. The plot kept me intrigued and kept me guessing through a few parts. What...

A true and moving account of a WWII B-17 Bomber crew in 1942. I have to admit, while I read a lot of WWII fiction and nonfiction, and have taken a few courses on the time period, this is one story I was not aware about. I had heard...

E.C.Myers does not disappoint in this sequel to The Silence of Six.Just like SOS #1 this book is action packed, but now the stakes are even higher. After taking a short 6 month break from his cyber antics, Max Stein is back. While many questions left from the first book...

Once the leaves start to fall and the weather gets the chill in the air, I love to grab my favorite Chai Tea (French Toast) and curl up with a book ready for a scare or a thrill. Unlocked by Margo Kelly is the perfect fit for fall. ...

The Possibility of Somewhere is definitely one of those stories you just can't put down. Julia Day's debut novel will make you cry and laugh out loud. It is a hug a book kind of book. In The Possibility of Somewhere, Eden and Ash are...

I confess I read this book in one day. For This Life Only is thought provoking and an engaging story. It was great to finally see a story told through a male's point of view in all its vulnerability and doubt. Jace is realistic and relatable....

I am a big fan of Jordan Sonnenblick and all his novels. Falling Over Sideways hit me in the heart. Having witnessed the same medical emergency as Claire- I was 22 and my mother collapsed in front of the family, this one made me tear up a bit. ...

We all know the Red Queen is evil.But what is behind all that rage? To top it off, why do men risk their lives and die for just one bite of her famous baked goods? There is so much to say about Heartless! I was fortunate enough...

Ghost is a beautifully written and illustrated story. Raina Telgemeier's best yet. I received an advance copy during San Diego Comic Con. I picked it up on the flight home and couldn't put it down. Cat and Maya feel like familiar friends and even family members. Cat and Maya's...
