Review: Winter’s Awakening by Karen Luellen Meg, along with her brother’s find out the reason they were homeschooled and kept from the world. For their entire lives, they have been hunted by a lab that created them to be super humans. Their mother saved them, yet now it is time to return the favor. This book was different in that all the chapters jumped around from different points of view. There was the view point of Margo, Meg, Mr. Williams and they switched between first person with Meg to third person with everyone else. I was a very different style book that took some reading to get...
Review: Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater Grace had been watching the wolves behind her house for years. When a naked boy with a gunshot wound arrives on her steps, her suspicions are confirmed.

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: Midnight City by J. Barton Mitchell In this sci-fi dystopian world, all of the adults are gone and the children are left to run the world. Holt is a bounty hunter with a price on his head but with a way out- if he can actually catch and keep the wanted Mira. Unfortunately, along the way, Holt and Mira find a child that changes everything. Now can they actually accomplish their goals to be free and keep the child safe at the same time. This book is a well thought out world. The author piles down layer after layer in this future world filled with aliens and children. There are complicated...
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...
