Genre: Fantasy

Mallory and her sister have been trying their best to survive after their mother’s death, but unfortunately the magical gifts they inherited from her aren’t as lucrative as hers were. Mallory has the ability to see ghosts and her sister doesn’t even like talking about her gift, so they make due giving fake seances and tarot readings, and giving tours of the Saphir House to gullible tourists who are willing to buy anything. That is until Mallory gets caught by some police and must flee before getting arrested for fraud. Unbeknownst to her, one of the guests at her last house tour is actually the rightful heir to the Saphir Houses and lands and he ends up claiming she had permission to sneak onto his property to give these tours. In exchange, he wants Mallory and her sister to accompany him back to the country house in order to expel the ghost of Count Bastien, his murderous ancestor who supposedly murdered three of his wives before being killed himself. Since the ghost’s return, the ghost has been causing a lot of trouble which has led the house and vineyard to fall into disrepair as no one will work there. Mallory knows she needs to get out of the city before the police come looking for her again, but doesn’t believe she has the ability to banish a ghost. Meanwhile, she has become aware of some supernatural hunters who might be able to help for a price. Shortly after arriving at the country estate there is another brutal murder and she can’t help but feel like she knows exactly who the culprit is and it is not a ghost. Can she manage to help the current Count Bastien without revealing she is not as magical as her mother was? Will it be helpful that she can actually talk to the ghosts of the three wives that were murdered in the House Saphir houses that led to so many legends and myths to be spread about the family? Can they possibly break the curse that is holding the murdered ghosts in these ancestral houses? Will they be able to stop the murderer before more attacks occur?

This is another great story by Marissa Meyer. The retelling of Bluebeard is exciting, dramatic, and has many plot twists and turns that will keep readers intrigued. The characters are all really engaging too, especially the ghost Mallory meets at the House Saphir in town. The ending is full of surprises, but all the details make sense and feel satisfying. Readers of Meyer’s other series will enjoy this one as well. Recommended for fantasy readers.

The world has changed a bit and she’s struggling to find her way back into journalism when she is suddenly invited to an opening of a luxury Swiss Hotel. As much as she does not want to leave her kids for that long, it would give her a chance to stop by England and visit her mom as well. Plus, it’s a great way to start working in the travel industry again. When she arrives the hotel is grander than she even imagined, but on her first night she is startled to see a brand new mascara in her makeup bag that is the same one she borrowed from the mysterious “woman in cabin 10” in the last novel.

Even though it is late she decides to go anyway and meets a woman who claims she is being held against her will by the very millionaire who owns the hotel and needs Lo’s help to escape. Lo has a family now and does not want to put herself in peril, but she also knows she can’t let this woman suffer when there is something she could have done about it. Meanwhile, she desperately wants to interview that millionaire in the hopes of getting a story published. Is the woman who she says she is? Is her situation really as dire as she claims? Will the plan for Lo to help her work or will it leave Lo in a world of trouble?

This follow-up is fast paced and exciting in a new location.

The location sounds amazing and is a nice juxtaposition for all the shady people who are there enjoying it. There are many twists and turns as well as many people around Lo (both new faces and familiar ones) that she must decide who she can trust in order to get out of this safely.

Genre: Suspense/Mystery

Connie has risen to fame through her mother’s vlogs and the family has enjoyed the spoils of their internet fame, but it has come at a price. Connie has started feeling like someone is watching her after some unusual online comments and a few local girls who resemble her start dying. Despite her growing uneasiness her mother and sister, Isla, refuse to stop posting all of the details of their daily lives for fear of losing this lucrative career. When her mom and sister leave for a long college scouting trip, Connie is nervous to stay in their sprawling home despite the state of the art security system and police chief looking in on her from time to time. Connie does have a few good friends who are always there when she needs them, but she knows someone has been on her property and possibly in her house, which makes her terrified to be on her own but no one seems to take her worries seriously and she begins to wonder if it is, in fact, all in her head. Is Connie safe in her own home? Did they invite trouble by putting their lives on the internet for all to see?

Fans of suspense/mystery stories like April Henry will like this author and this title. The premise is intriguing in the age of people posting far too many personal details online, but the pieces don’t always fit together satisfactorily. The reader can definitely feel Connie’s growing anxiety and frustration that no one is really taking her feelings seriously, but it is hard to determine at first if someone is in fact trying to get her or if she has just become overly worried after some not so nice comments she saw online. The ultimate resolution seems a bit rushed and some fans will not find it satisfying, but it is still a great pick for reluctant readers who love a fast paced, exciting story.

Genre: Romance

In this prequel to the Inheritance Games, readers get to see when Toby and Avery’s mom, Hannah, met and what their relationship was like. It begins with Toby coming to the Hawthorne home with a few friends and engaging Hannah’s sister, Kaylie, at a local bar. Hannah immediately got a strange vibe from her first impression of these college boys and advised her sister to stay away, but Kaylie was a free spirit and found her way back to them. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when there was an explosion at the Hawethorne property and the only known survivor was Toby, who was plucked out of the water by a local fisherman. Since Hannah was training to be a nurse, he summoned her to help save Toby’s life because Hannah’s family would definitely be out for revenge if they knew where Toby was. Therefore, the story follows both Toby and Hannah’s perspectives on what happened when Hannah came to tend to Toby’s wounds. Hannah is very hurt and angry about what happened to her sister, but she knows her vocation is to help those who need it. Meanwhile, Toby is despondent and just wants to be left to die. Eventually they begin to form a friendship and possibly more…?

Fans of the Inheritance Games will greatly appreciate this story as it clarifies how Toby knew Avery’s mom and what exactly happened that led to a lot of the drama that happens for the descendants in the other books. It helps to put faces to the characters mentioned in the original series and introduces them to the reader in a new and more meaningful way. The format of the book is interesting with each viewpoint told from either side of the book. The story also helps to put a more personal, loving spin on a story that often focuses solely on competition and games. Recommended for fans of the series and fans of romance novels.

We Fell Apart by E. Lockhart

Genre: Realistic Fiction

In this companion to We Were Liars, Matilda discovers the father she has never known, renowned artist Kingsley Cello, has asked to meet her after all this time and invites her to his reclusive home by the sea. Her mother has always been a bit flaky and after moving to be with yet another new love interest, Matilda actually opts to stay with the previous love interest to finish high school. Besides, Saar Adler, the most recent boyfriend, has always been more of a parent to her than either of her real parents. Saar is concerned about Matilda traveling so far to meet someone who has wanted nothing to do with her until this point. Her mother also advises against meeting Kingsley but says if he offers her a painting she should take it and sell it.

When Matilda arrives at the airport she quickly realizes that the directions she has been given are very confusing and she has trouble finding a cab willing to take her. Upon arrival she meets her half brother she has never known, Meer, who welcomes her with open arms. A former child star, Brock, and a wild card Tatum also live with Kingsley and his mom in their beachside house, which appears to be crumbling around them. Kingsley is not there to greet Matilda, however, and they all tell her that he is a free spirit and often leaves with no notice of when he will return. They lock up her electronics without her permission and declare it is a screen free home. As much as Matilda does not feel comfortable or included, she is determined to make the best of this since she has traveled so far. As she gets to know the inhabits of this house it becomes clear that there are a lot of unsaid things between the inhabitants and she starts to suspect they are not telling her the truth about where Kingsley is.

This story takes place right after the events of We Were Liars, which is located on an island across the water from where Kingsley’s house is. Everyone is pretty shaken up by what happened on the Sinclair island, but all for different reasons. In this story, everyone does appear to be lying about a lot of things and it starts to become hazy why Matilda was invited here at all if everyone was just going to lie to her about everything. The characters do become more distinguishable as the story plays out and the final resolution will help everything come together. Lockhart has a way of creating unusual settings with unique characters that readers get pulled into and want to know more about.

In a post-apocalyptic Seattle, Fox and her sister, Rabbit, are trying to survive on the outskirts of the domed city. Everyone in the domed city has access to food and healthcare, in addition to protection from the volatile weather and deadly disease that is spreading from across the country. It’s hard to get inside, however, and Fox has tried to join a group working to get health supplies for those outside the dome. When her and Rabbit are sent on a mission to feign a medical issue in order to gain access to medicine they are required to provide a blood sample to get into the facility. Shortly afterward, Rabbit is whisked away by a select group of doctors and Fox is left to complete the mission. She gets back to the rally point before the storm hits, but Rabbit is nowhere to be found. After many hours, Fox realizes that something has happened and Rabbit is likely in trouble. Then, she sees Rabbit’s face on the tv as the new face of the upcoming vaccine that will supposedly save them all from a deadly spreading disease, but something feels off to Fox and she vows to get inside the dome to rescue her sister. The only way she can do that is by joining the trials to become a soldier. It is very grueling work, but she is determined to succeed and when she arrives at the trials she sees two of her friends have joined her as well. Can they all make it through the trials to become soldiers? Will they be able to find and (possibly) rescue Rabbit? Who is controlling all of the stringent government rules that leave many people without necessities? Do they know who is all on their side? What are they doing with Rabbit?

Fans of futuristic stories such as The Testing and Divergent will enjoy this title. The setting is unique, but described well so it’s easy to understand. The trials are exciting and dangerous and the longer they are there, the more they begin learning about what is going on inside the domes. There is still a lot they don’t know, however, and each time they try to find out more they are putting themselves in danger. There are several big twists in the story, but the last part is especially dramatic in more than one way. Fans will be clamoring for more in this exciting setting.

It doesn’t help that she doesn’t feel like she has fit in at all in her new school. She has been bullied and struggled to keep up academically. She just doesn’t belong anywhere. Meanwhile, she had spruced up her town’s website so that her classmates wouldn’t realize how run down it has gotten and that led to a classmate and his aunt coming for the Christmas holiday. Arthur was none too pleased when he figured out that much of what she bragged about was unfounded as he is from England and was hoping to show his aunt a traditional American Christmas.

Genre: Fantasy

** Special Review ** This exciting story will captivate both the avid readers and the reluctant readers alike. The story is primarily a fantasy, but with some mystery elements thrown in that really keep the action moving throughout. Olivia has been tormented by a ghost for awhile and she has had trouble getting anyone to believe her, but when she is attacked yet again and her mother is taken she knows that she needs to do something to stop this ghost once and for all. Unfortunately, she still has trouble finding any adults to help her. Her father does believe her, but is not in a position to help a lot despite his desire to. When a vigilante is caught by the police, Olivia gets caught up in the investigation and she realizes that there are others who have seen the ghost as well. They all work together in order to find a way to stop the havoc this ghost has caused once and for all. Can they stop the ghost before more people get hurt? Will Olivia be able to save her mom? How will Olivia be forever changed from this?

The characters are really the heartbeat of this novel. They are each unique and charismatic in a way that makes the reader care about them and their success. Olivia must also come to terms with the fact that she must become a super hero (complete with powers) in order to truly tackle this frightening ghost that has come for her and her family time and again. She must realize that she does in fact have the power to battle something that seems so much stronger and more powerful. Young readers will really resonate with Olivia because of the many feelings and doubts she has throughout this process. All young people question their abilities, goals, and future at one time or another, just as Olivia does, but it’s important to never stop trying to reach your goals. All in all, the story is fun, dramatic, exciting, and has a very satisfying ending. Highly Recommended.

Genre: Fantasy

Lovett is a silkwitch, which means she has magical powers in the strands of her hair. Each silkwitch is different and Lovett’s ability is that she can open any door no matter what. Lovett has been on her own awhile and gets by by stealing from the rich and hiding in the shadows so no one realizes she is an unwed silkwitch. If she does not find a weaver husband she will be forced to work in the cloisters. One day she walks into a trap set by the son of a weaver, Eliot Lear. Eliot offers Lovett an appealing offer. She must join the vainglory, or competition for the prince to find a bride. It is only for silkwitches since the prince must marry a silkwitch in order to maintain the family power. There was a vainglory the year before that ended in tragedy when Eliot’s sister was suddenly killed. He wants Lovett to infiltrate the competition to find out what really happened to his sister and in return he promises he will find her a suitable match so that she never has to go to the cloisters. Lovett isn’t used to being the one getting played, but ultimately agrees since this could save her future. Once she gets to the castle everything seems darker and more sinister. The prince is nice enough but the King is very intimidating and seems to predict her every move. Can Lovett find out what happened to Eliot’s sister without being found out for who she truly is? Will she manage to escape the cloisters? Will the prince take a liking to Lovett, which would be problematic because he doesn’t know who she truly is or what her motives are?

This fantasy story is exciting and has many twists and turns as Lovett gets deeper into this wealthy world. The other silkwitches all have secrets and special abilities just like Lovett which makes it hard to know who is telling the truth and who has ulterior motives as well. Eliot is an interesting character too. He clearly wants to know the truth about what happened to his sister, but it seems there are other secrets he is keeping as one of those closest to the prince. Meanwhile, Lovett finds there are many secrets to be unearthed in the castle, but it doesn’t take long before she gets warnings to stop digging or else. Readers will want to see more from these characters. Recommended for fantasy readers, especially fantasy romance readers.

His best friend has mysteriously run away, but no one seems to know where he is including his sister, Sierra, which Andre finds suspicious. His parole officer seems to be on his side, but there is another parole officer who definitely has it out for him and is frequently tracking him when he has no business watching him. Andre just assumed that everyone would who knows and loves him would know he would never have anything to do with any robbery, but he’s surprised to find that people seem unsure and wary of him now that he’s back. To make matters worse, he arrives home just in time for the onset of Covid 19 and that causes several problems as his family is one of the first to get it and his mom is a hospital nurse. Plus, Covid keeps him from reentering school, which is desperately wants to do. As they struggle through this terrible pandemic, Andre does spend some time with Sierra and her adoptive family that lives across the street. Sierra’s adoptive father has been especially helpful with Andre’s situation and even helped provide a lawyer for him. However, Andre suspects he knows more about his best friend’s disappearance and isn’t saying a word. Who can Andre trust? Will his family make it through the pandemic and everything that comes along with it? Will that parole officer try to pin more robberies on him and send him back to jail?

This book really makes the reader feel like they are in Andre’s shoes. It is written so that you can feel his frustration with his situation, his concern over his missing friend, his sadness over what Covid is doing to his family, and his mixed emotions toward the girl next door. It’s easy to identify with Andre’s emotions because everyone reading this now has experience with the pandemic and how that changed everything, but then you throw on everything else Andre is dealing with and it’s a very powerful narrative. The ending is both exciting and satisfying as Andre tries to find out what happened to his friend and clear his name. The ending is also believable in that not everything ends perfectly for everyone. The author did a fantastic job of conveying the many thoughts and feelings of a young person going through a very stressful time. Highly Recommended.

Genre: Fantasy

Aria Patel loves to study science because it is precise and predictable. Therefore, she is confused when her physics teacher gives the class a poem to study about different realities. More confusing still, is when she begins getting terrible headaches and proceeds to start waking up in different realities for herself. In each reality she lives in a different place, her family looks different, and even her interests seem to vary. However, that poem from her class and the boy, Rohan, she recently broke up with appear in each reality. As she desperately tries to get back to the life she knows she ends up staying in one reality for longer and begins to really fall in love with the family and Rohan she has in this reality, but as attached as she is getting she knows she does not belong here and must find her way back. Can she get back to the world she knows, even if it is not the most perfect universe of herself? Will she ever learn how she is sliding between realities? Will she ever find her way back to her beloved Rohan?

This book is interesting and fast paced as Aria’s reality changes so quickly. It becomes clear that she needed to see these different realities in order to give herself some perspective rather than only focusing her life on things that are probable or predictable. There are many things in life that do not always make sense, but feel right anyway. Aria needs to learn to focus on more than just the science behind everything. The ending is satisfying, but does not explain everything and might leave readers wanting a little more closure but that is really the point.

Amber thought she had time to do all the things she wanted with her life and she also thought she had time to fix her relationship with her sister. Amber also struggles watching how much her family has suffered, but seeing her does bring them some peace and the strength to make some changes in their lives instead of being forever burdened by her untimely death. Forgiveness is a major theme in this story and most readers will connect with one of the characters because they are all justified in their feelings but also need to find ways to forgive and move forward. Recommended for anyone dealing with a loss, but everyone will find themselves thinking about the characters even after the story is done.

They decide to break the tradition of only inviting wealthy, famous debutantes and take a chance on Piper Woo Collins. Piper has recently been dealt a setback when the benefactor of her college scholarship pulls his funding due to a disagreement with the university.

Meanwhile, Chapin Buckingham, the daughter of a rockstar and movie star, is feeling the pressure to be named Debutante of the Year even though she couldn’t care less about the title.
