It took me a little while to warm up to this book. I love Lauren Oliver, so I was a little surprised when this started out as the story of a typical shallow party girl. I didn't like Samantha at all for the first few chapters, but then I slowly began to warm to her. By the end, I was almost cry... - Reviews > Hot New ReleasesHonestly, how much time can a girl spend gushing over one series? Apparently never enough, because I have nothing but good things to say about the fifth installment in the Darcys and the Bingleys series by Marsha Altman. This one starts off a little slower than some, with hints and foreshadowing ...
- Reviews > Hot New ReleasesThis book is stunningly beautiful.From the writing and characters to the flawless blending of myth and reality, it is perfect.

- Reviews > Hot New ReleasesI read this book twice in a row before I sat down to review it. The first time, I just got caught up in the story and didn't put it down until I finished it. Then, only a week or so later, I picked it up again and read it a little slower, more carefully. I enjoyed it just as much, if not more, ...

- Fiction > Fan FictionI clutch the tiny silver whistle tightly in my hand. It’s all I have left of my childhood. I can remember the day my mother gave it to me, the way she folded my fingers around the cold metal. “Take this with you, to remember us by,” her voice cracked a little, and I could see tears behind h...

- Fiction > Sci-fi/FantasyIt is so cold. The heater broke down hours ago, and the temperature has steadily dropped. I hug my knees to my chest and tried to squeeze further back into the corner as if the icy white walls can keep me warm. On the right side of the room students are huddled together, trying to conserve warmth...
- Fiction > Realistic FictionYou know the cartoons? The old ones, where the baddie goes 'bang, bang' and every shot misses. The ones where heroes and villains alike die again and again only to pick themselves up again, dust themselves off and live to fight again. Life isn't like the cartoons. The baddie goes &...
- Fiction > Thriller/Mystery“Please state your name for the record.” I jolted; I had just been studying Detective Colin Seward with an eye to borrowing some of his characteristics. That gorgeous head of grey-streaked black hair would be perfect on a lighter-weight, more Mediterranean man. And then there was that delight...
- Reviews > Book ReviewsHmm, what to say about this book...overall, the word that comes to mind is 'dull'. From beginning to end, this was a dull story set in a dull, grey world with dull, grey characters. It took all of my staying power to actually finish it. Rose, the heroine, was tired and depressed and not...
- Reviews > Book ReviewsOK, to be perfectly and completely honest, I wasn't expecting to like this as much as Lacey Weatherford's Of Witches and Warlocks series. So far I've loved everything she's ever written, but I generally prefer fantasy to contemporary. So, I expected to love it, just not quite as ...
- Reviews > Book ReviewsThis book was...okay. It's pretty much a classic zombie survival novel; the main characters spend most of their time fleeing from or fighting the zombie-like 'Weepers', who are people infected with a particularly violent form of rabies. The world has gone to heck in a hand-basket to s...
- Fiction > Realistic FictionIt pounded in my blood. The sound of water against rocks. It was a vicious drumbeat that drew me closer to the edge. Will I jump? Will I fall? Will the water pull me in? These thoughts circled with dizzying speed as I touched the railing. Did I want to go? The spray caressed me as ...
- Fiction > Realistic FictionIt was a lovely day as the Singers trickled in for rehearsal.

- Fiction > RomanceI was dying. The doctors said I was broken; I only had hours left. I thanked them politely and pretended to sleep. I had no family to call. When they left, I made my escape.

- Fiction > Sci-fi/Fantasy“You know I have to go.” Noah’s eyes burned with a tempestuous blend of emotions as he looked at me. I saw grief, fury and a helpless despair.

- Reviews > Book ReviewsThis is awesome! This series had been recommended to me many times, first by my brother and then by many online friends, so I finally gave it a shot. I'm not usually big on comics or graphic novels, but I went through this series in four days. Ten years worth of mad scientists, zany monsters, ...
- Reviews > Book ReviewsI feel like the series is finally getting somewhere!
