Asylum by Madeleine Roux

First thanks to HarperCollins and Edelweiss for allowing me to read an e-galley of this.  I’ve read another book by this author, Allison Hewitt is Trapped, and I enjoyed the zombie story.  So when I saw the info about this on Edelweiss, and heard it was going to be like Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar […]

Elegy (Watersong #4) by Amanda Hockiing

First, let me thank both Edelweiss and especially St. Martin’s Griffin for allowing me to read an e-galley of this book.  Now, can I start telling you how much I loved this book?!  I have to say what an awesome way to end a series!  There was action, there was still romance, there were twists […]

Underworld (Abandon Trilogy #2) by Meg Cabot

I actually received this book from the YA Book Exchange website.  It came from Sri Lanka, so took a little longer than expected to arrive.  But fortunately I got it in time to get it read before my e-galley of the final book in the trilogy, Awaken, expires.  And you can check out my review […]

Proxy (Proxy #1) by Alex London

First thanks to Penguin Young Readers and Netgalley for allowing me to read an e-galley of this book.  This is a dystopian type of thriller, one for boys, with the main characters being boys.  However, and though I have no problem with it, something that might be an issue for some people is that the […]

Replica by Jenna Black

I have to thank Tor Teen for the first time for allowing me to read this e-galley in April.  I think this was one of my first downloads from Edelweiss once I finally figured out how to do it!  And what a great choice to read!  I really did enjoy this book. At first the […]

The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau

First, thanks to Houghton Mifflin for letting me read an e-galley of this.  First let me say that this was a pretty good book.  It is one I will definitely recommend to anyone who enjoyed The Hunger Games and wants to read more stories like that. This is a future America after many horrible wars […]

Once (Eve #2) by Anna Carey

This is one of the books I actually paid for at the Romantic Times Convention Book Fair last Saturday.  I was lucky enough to get the first one that I’d read as an e-galley, Eve, at the Avon Red Slipper party the night before for free.  And then, I got the third and final book […]

Absent by Katie Williams

First I must say thank you to Chronicle Books and Edelweiss for allowing me to read an e-galley of this book. This was a good ghost story.  The main character is Paige, who has recently died from falling off the roof of her school.  She wakes up and can’t leave the school grounds, in fact, […]

Renegade (Ripper #2) by Amy Carol Reeves

I will start by thanking Netgalley and Flux Books for allowing me to read an e-galley of this.  I also got to read the first in the series, Ripper, as an e-galley.  I was very into the first book because it was supposedly about Jack the Ripper which is a subject that has always fascinated […]
