This Book Kills by Ravena Guron

I am not sure what exactly had me reaching for this book. I am not always a fan of young adult thrillers, and at the time of picking this up, it had been a long while since I had done so.This is a simple setup. You have a scholarship girl in a fancy school, and…

Nothing More to Tell by Karen M. McManus

There is something about this author's writing that makes it easy for me to read. Although I am rating this lower than others that I have read by her, I think it is solely because of my previous experience that I am doing so.We have a pair of sisters who are high-achieving in their own…

Arliss Cutter #4,#5 by Marc Cameron

I have read and reviewed the previous books on the blog earlier:#1&2, #3 This is one of those series that consistently maintains characters development as well as situational changes to keep the reader engrossed.
