Review: The Between by LJ Cohen Lydia finds out that she is a faerie – and a powerful one at that. Now both Oberon and Titania are trying to get her to join their side. While it would be easy to assume light is the good guys and shadow are the bad guys, things are always more complicated in faerie. Luckily for Lydia, although she doesn’t understand how to control her power, some things come naturally. This book had a good pace to it. The beginning quickly grabbed your attention. Lydia was being chased and a creeper (Clive- who turns out to not really be a creeper) is following her. You...

Review : Inescapable: The Premonition Series by Amy Bartol Evie’s first year in college takes a lot of twists and turns after she meets not only one, but two love interests.

Review : Brightest Kind of Darkness by P.T. Michelle Nara has lived her life knowing exactly what her next day will bring- that is- until she decides to change the outcome. Now fate has to try to redo what was meant to happen. Fate does not know that in doing so it pushes Nara closer to Ethan, someone who is almost as different as Nara as he hides his own secrets. From the beginning it had me intrigued. I cannot picture what I would do if I could see the future a day in advance. Nara kept me reading all along wondering what she would do next. Also I am curious to read more and find out more of Ethan’s...

Review: The Veil by Cory Putman Oakes After seeing things that should not be there, Addy discovers that although she might not be crazy, as she had first thought, she might actually not be completely human. Soon she finds that even though it is great to have a explanation to her new insights, she might not actually be safe- since there is a law forbidding humans to see Annorasi. Addy Russell is your typical not very popular but not a reject teenager and Luc is the archetypal mysterious hunk. The characters I enjoyed the best were Gran and her ten burly men as that left a memorable image in my head....

Review : Artemis Rising by Cheri Lasota Eva is heading home to the Azores Islands. Eva finds herself pulled into two different myths with two very different boys vying for her. Eva must choose which myth is stronger and hope she gets the outcome she is looking for. While the plot does not include a ton of physical action, there is more subtle action that drives the story forward. It progressed well throughout the book. It was easy to follow and enjoyable to read. I was a little confused the first time there was a dream sequence but then figured it out afterwards; I needed to reread it to better get...
