Review: All Hallows’ Moon, Long Night Moon, and Grey Moon Rising by SM Reine Starting over after becoming a werewolf is hard to do if your hunter boyfriend and his family move to town. Rylie tries to make things work, but Seth’s mother is too set to destroy the wolf in town no matter what her son thinks or wants. Reines style again was an easy read. I enjoy a book that is easy to follow and the author answers all your questions as they come up. In this story Seth’s mother is the villain and to some extent his brother Abel. We are introduced to the villain at the beginning of the...

Review: Mind Readers by Lori Brighton Cameron has hidden her secret her whole life, but everything changes when she meets Lewis. He shares her secret and offers to tech her the truth- but is that what he really wants? This book started off and ended very similarly. It made the book feel complete. This is an excellent example how to craft the beginning and ending to leave a reader happy. In both instances, Cameron is telling the reader about her crappy ability, but the ending is more of a hint to what will come. It worked perfectly. This ending was one of the much better endings I have read that still...

Review: The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima Jack takes medicine to help his heart, or so he thinks. Instead he finds out rather unexpectantly that the medicine represses the warrior stone in his chest and he is now a chess piece in a game he never intended to play. This book is filled with what is now the norm cliché for YA books. Unknown hero in small town suddenly has powers- his nerdy friend and sporty friend cannot be told the truth, but his ex-girlfriend tries to sell him to the highest bidder and his new love interest is not everything she pretends to be. That being said, this book was...
