The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
November 23, 2013In Carrie Ryan’s debut novel, The Forest of Hands and Teeth, Mary is a teenaged girl who lives in a small village surrounded by a metal fence, all that stands between her village and “the forest of hands and teeth,” Mary’s name for the seemingly infinite flood of undead which besiege the fences day and night. […]
Zombie Blondes by Brian James
November 18, 2013When Hannah and her father move into the town of Maplecrest, Hannah finds herself into the familiar role of the “new girl”. Hannah notices that the popular group in her new school are a set of blonde, blue eyed cheerleaders. Lukas, a school misfit, warns Hannah that the cheerleaders are dangerous creatures that hold sway […]
Awakened by P.C. and Kristen Cast
November 16, 2013Remember how Zoey has a ton of super special powers and is THE Chosen One for the ancient Vampyre Goddess of the Night Nyx? I’m asking because you might have forgotten in the last few books since they dealt with Zoey’s soul shattering and Heath dying and Kalona and Neferet trying to take over. So […]
Burned by P.C. and Kristen Cast
November 11, 2013Burned follows Tempted, almost immediately. By now we’re head long into the soap opera Nights of Our Lives. Or maybe As the Tattoo Turns. Zoey’s soul has been shattered, which no priestess has ever, ever come back from. But Zoey will, of course, because her menz love her. So much so, that two of them […]
Tempted by P.C. and Kristen Cast
November 9, 2013Ugh, ugh, ugh. What to say about this book? I didn’t like Tempted at all. There is no way I can rant about this without spoilers, but if you’re into the series you should know what happens in Tempted by now. Zoey is the reincarnation of A-ya?? Based on Grandma Redbird’s story I thought A-ya […]
Last Breath by Rachel Caine
October 9, 2013Last Breath is the eleventh installment of Rachel Caine’s popular Morganville Vampires series. It picks up where book 10, Bite Club, left off, following the fate of heroine Claire Danvers as she tries to survive in a town run by vampires. In this book, the vampires of Morganville are disappearing one by one, after being seen in the company […]
Hunted by P.C. Cast and Kristen Cast
October 4, 2013As a stand alone book, Hunted is quite lacking. The fifth book of the House of Night series Hunted is the kind of book that wraps up some story lines, introduces others and does little else. A place holder book Hunted has some major irks, but not nearly as much eye-rolling author intrusion as the […]
Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins
October 2, 2013What started off as “Harry Potter goes bad girl” jumps ahead from Magical Reform School drama to Major Magical Uprising in this second book from Rachel Hawkins. In Hex Hall, main character Sophie Mercer learned she wasn’t really a witch, but a demon, when she had to battle her own summoned grandmother. In Demonglass, Sophie […]
Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins
September 27, 2013Sophie knows she’s a witch, but that’s about all she knows. She’s never met her warlock father. Her human mother tries, but can help her very little. When Sophie tries to help a classmate with a love spell–and it goes horribly wrong–she is sent to Hex Hall by the Council that rules the Prodigium, which […]
