Fledgling by Molly Harper

I reviewed the first book of the series below: On reading back the review for the first book I realised afresh how much I enjoyed the series! I think the titles of the books do the content a mild disservice mostly because these are generic in a way and have many similarly-named books floating around…

Snug Harbor Stories: A Wallace the Brave Collection! by Will Henry

I reviewed another book by the author:Wallace the Brave by Will Henry and looked forward to getting into this one. The first few panels were nothing special and I have to admit that I was a little disappointed but then the story picks up pace. There is not much of a linear progression in terms of…

S.T.A.G.S (S.T.A.G.S #1) by M.A. Bennett

I saw this book on a random pass past the YA shelf (I was actually just taking my copy of The Raven King (The Raven Cycle #4) by Maggie Stiefvater) and realised I had seen this book reviewed extensively when it first came out. I did not remember much about the reviews but decided to give…

The Red Labyrinth by Meredith Tate

The thing I liked best about this book was that the first thought I had in terms of review content was that I finally found a book that seemed appropriate to fit in the YA category. The people seemed to act their age despite the dystopian setup. Normally, the YA fantasies I end up reading…

Although the story begins at a funeral, there is a clear indication of the level of intelligence of our lead character (and a twisted sense of cynical humour). Sydney's father died in an accident and she is…

Changeling (Sorcery and Society #1) by Molly Harper

There are days when you cannot find the right book to settle down with, it is never the books fault-just the day's. Further perusals of the books rejected on such days at a later time usually indicates a decent book if not a hidden gem. Today was one of those days. I had the time…

One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus

There was a time I saw this book everywhere! People were talking about it, comparing it to a more complicated version of the movie The Breakfast Club. There are references made during the book itself. The glowing reviews and the blurb pushed it on to my to-read queue. I found out quite by accident last…

The Benefits of Being an Octopus by Ann Braden

There are times you can read a story that is not new because of the way it is being told. This is the story of Zoey who has three siblings and a mother to call her own. She has an opinion on her current living situations and she is not very popular in school(for reasons…
