So many feelings now that I've completed this series. Half Bad began this whole crazy adventure, Half Wild delved even deeper into the characters' motivations, and now Half Lost brings this epic story to a close. I applaud the author for staying away from the typical YA stories throughout the whole series. While the idea of witches has obviously been used in YA books countless times, Sally Green's approach was very original and highly entertaining.This...

Tiger Lily is a more grown-up, darker re-telling of the Peter Pan story. Tinker Bell is the narrator, and the book begins slightly prior to the traditional Peter Pan story. It is so neat to get to see more about Tiger Lily and her family, and to learn the origin of the lost boys and Captain Hook and why no one ages in Neverland.Yes! You learn about the aging-not-aging thing in Tiger Lily! You'll have to read...

The First Lie by Virginia King is a mystery unlike most others. This is not your typical cop, PI or Wannabe PI jaunt through a bunch of clues foisted at them. Yet, it is a mystery in the truest since.You can't beat the setting. Set in the beautiful and entrancing islands of Hawaii, there was plenty of rich imagery as well as history and mythology to dig into. The historical and visual are used a bit more sparingly than I would...
DISSOLUTION was an interesting dystopian novella that had great authentic ideas but lacked in detail and execution. I really liked the idea of corporations owning its employees and seeing them as assets to be traded and sold. However, the world building felt incomplete and the characters underdeveloped.Madeline has waited her whole life for her Auctioning. After 18 years of waiting, after countless hours of training, she's ready for the...
The Library at Mount Char was not what I expected, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I picked it up because of the word "library" in the title. Yup... I'm a sucker like that.Turns out the "library" at Mount Char is NOT your typical library and it's inhabited by folks who are NOT your typical librarians. Carolyn and her adopted siblings live in the library with a man they call Father and they spend their days studying thousands...
"Never judge a book by its cover" is an old saying that just does not apply to this book. The Adventures of Tom Stranger: Interdimensional by Larry Correia is exactly what you would expect from the look of the cover. the cover has an old time comic book look and feel to the artwork and that is not where it stops.As the title suggests, this book has an interdimensional setting. It...
