The third installment of the Brothers Grimm mysteries. Off to the high seas for this one. A pleasant mixture of fantastical creatures and scurvy dogs. Defiantly YA but still a pleasant read. These are short and cute, but I would have liked a bit more of a twist in the ending.

A whole new “I see dead people…” Albeit I saw the twist at the end, I really did not want it. The writing is good and appeals to a mature audience. I will read book 2. I wish would would have had a little more insight to his talent (maybe book 2). I also wish…

A modern dragon tale. There is a significant amount of curse words and some parts of the plot that I wished had gone other ways, but it is a well paced novel. I like that it references Pete’s Dragon because it defiantly gives a nod to the boy and his dragon, however do not expect…

Are you ready for a fun Sci-fi? This is an exciting ride that takes you through the story journal entry style. It is a series of interviews and masterfully done. I am looking forward to reading book 2 and recommend it to anyone who enjoys aliens books. Are we alone?

Realizing that due to a mislabel I read the second book before this one. The books are fast paced and fun. People do wind up dead so consider that, but the image of Gretel (Hans and Gretel) as a private detective and her bumbling brother is entertaining to say the least, I am looking forward…

This is book 2 in the Cirque da Freak series. The novel is well paced and appropriate for older teens. Depending on sensitivity. The novel deals with death and albeit a horror novel it is darker than Goosebumps but definitely sit in the YA category. The book itself is a good read and I would…
