Towering by Alex Flinn
Title: Towering Rating: Genre: YA / Fantasy Release Date: May 14, 2013 Publisher: HarperTeen Review: I’m a serious sucker for books that take the stories I loved as a kid and turn them into fantasy stories I can love as an adult. What the movie Ever After did to rekindle my love for Cinderella, so did Towering rekindle my love for Rapunzel. Though her prince didn’t fall into the briers and scratch out his eyes, the ending did take me into an unexpected twist. As a male YA protagonist, I liked Wyatt. I didn’t love him, but we got along … Continue reading

Wasteland by Susan Kim and Laurence Klavan
Title: Wasteland Rating: Genre: YA / Dystopia Release Date: March 26, 2013 Publisher: HarperTeen Review: I don’t like to start reviews in a negative way, but there wasn’t a moment during Wasteland in which I really got the story. There was so much exposition that the story became sort of a mindless read and I never had an emotional attachment to Esther. The writing was great, but the story was definitely stuck in the world of young adult fiction; it couldn’t transcend the barrier and become an all-ages kind of read. For me, the book acted as if it was trying to … Continue reading

Imposter by Jill Hathaway
Title: Imposter Rating: Genre: YA / Paranormal Release Date: March 26, 2013 Publisher: Balzer+Bray Review: From this morning’s post, you know how much I loved Slide. And while I didn’t want to divulge too much information and ruin the story for you, I’m having a hard time reigning it in now. Normally, I want at least a three-book series. But Hathaway made the two books work and she rocked it. The ending is neat and tidy, though it didn’t seem forced. We get to watch Vee grow as both a teen and a protagonist. And we get a new twist: … Continue reading

Slide by Jill Hathaway
Title: Slide Rating: Genre: YA / Paranormal Release Date: March 27, 2012 Publisher: Balzer+Bray Review: Loved loved LOVED this book. Jill Hathaway’s style of writing is captivating and creepy and she does an amazing job of using all five senses to really bring each moment to life. Vee’s “superpower” is to slide into the minds of others, to see the world through their eyes. Slide was like a YA version of CSI for me and the thrill of the hunt, of finding out who the killer actually was, was the exciting part. Though I’m sad to say that I waited … Continue reading

The End Of Me by Tara Brown
Summary His death was almost the end of me. He was still everywhere, surrounding me.

In my arms, kissing my lips, on the name of the deed to our house. When his death didn’t end me, the proposal from the man who owned every moment of my life, did. My husband carried on in the places he wanted to be but I was gone the moment … Continue reading

RELEASE DAY! Title: The Silver Dream by Neil Gaiman, Michael Reaves, and Mallory Reaves Rating: Genre: YA / Sci-Fi Release Date: April 23, 2013 Publisher: HarperTeen Review: First, I have to be honest. I didn’t realize that The Silver Dream was a series novel until I was a few pages in and had no idea what was going on. That being said, I didn’t need to have read the first book to understand it. Michael and Mallory Reaves did a great job of working in details from the first book without giving a play-by-play summary, which was great. The Silver … Continue reading
