Output: review Insanity. There is no other word for this book, really. It completely blew my mind to pieces, and I swear, I will never fully recover from reading it! Insanity. There is no other word for this book, really. It completely blew my mind to pieces, and I swear, I will never fully recover from reading it! I liked the first book (The Hunt), though I had a few issues with the sketchy plot line (I think we all remember the armpit scene?). I really loved the second book (The Prey) - the writing improved a lot, the characters were developed further and with more care, and the plot line itself was action packed and completely breathtaking. But the third book (The Trap)? Lord, the third book rendered me speechless. After I finished reading it, I sat in my *reading chair* for hours, staring out the window with a dumb (SERIOUSLY dumb) expression on my face, and with my tea cold and long forgotten. I could not comprehend what just happened. I could not wrap my mind around the brilliant ending. I could not get over the genius of it all. Like I said. Insanity. It's no secret that the best twists are the ones you don't see coming. Andrew Fukuda is a master of these kind of twists. Not only did he do a fantastic job tying all the loose ends together and answering all the questions that we've been asking since book one in the series, but he did it with such ease, confidence and boldness.. I absolutely LOVED it. Not to mention that I totally did not see any of it coming (and I'm usually one to predict all the major plot twists and big reveals way ahead). Seriously, I can not stress enough how fabulous the conclusion to this awesome series is. I kid you not, it's the best final book in a series I've ever read. Since I don't want to spoil all the gasp-worthy surprises, I will not be discussing the plot of The Trap in detail. One thing I gotta say, though, is.. If you thought that The Hunt and The Prey were intense, action-packed and often times disturbing, brace yourself, The Trap is even more of a wild ride. I could not bring myself to put it down. My heart was pounding, I was shocked, amazed and totally addicted. I realize that I probably sound crazy, not to mention repetitive, but the plot of The Trap was honestly THAT good. And the ending, with the big reveal involving the Origin, and Gene and Sissy's connection to it.. and then the mystery surrounding Gene's dad.. gosh! The whole thing forced me to look back at the first two books and completely re-evaluate everything I thought I knew and understood. I thought I had it all figured out. I thought this was yet another fun yet stereotypical dystopian. I thought I'd put it down, forget about it and move on to other books. But NO! I have read it about a month ago and I am still reeling from it. I absolutely loved where the story went and how Fukuda handled the complicated relationship between Gene, Sissy and Ashley June. I particularly loved how much all these characters grew since the beginning of the series (especially Gene), how mature they've all become. And it's really no wonder, considering all the things they've been put through. In The Trap alone so much happens, they learn so much about the world and themselves, they lose people close to them and have to make decisions that forever change their lives.. I couldn't help but be amazed by how incredibly moving and emotionally affecting this book was. More than once I found myself on the verge of tears with this one. The Trap is filled with awesome action and twisty developments. It's a very entertaining and gripping read for sure. Above all, though, it's just such a brilliant, complex and thought-provoking story, I don't think I've ever read anything quite like it. Intelligent, well thought-out and intellectually stimulating, this is definitely my favorite dystopian series ever. I'm so glad I have joined Gene and Sissy on this incredible journey and I can't wait to see what else Fukuda has in store for us! ...more

Output: review Set in 1901 Cambridge, England, The Dark Between is a beautifully written and delightfully atmospheric Gothic murder mystery that follows the adventur Set in 1901 Cambridge, England, The Dark Between is a beautifully written and delightfully atmospheric Gothic murder mystery that follows the adventures of three extraordinary teenagers as they investigate the mysterious death of a friend. Sonia Gensler's new book is a magnificent work of fiction. I loved every page of it. Revolving around spiritualism and seances - two subjects I find extremely fascinating - The Dark Between is quite eerie and dark, but also very fun to read. And the fabulous cast of colorful characters makes this book even more entertaining and absorbing. Kate, Elsie and Asher are so very different from each other, and yet they make such an awesome team! I can't tell you which one of these wonderful characters I liked the most. One thing for sure, I connected with all of them. Kate's background story was probably the most heartbreaking one and I often found myself wanting to hug her, protect her, comfort her (not that she needed that, she was so tough and brave!). The beautiful and fragile Elsie was equally fascinating, though not nearly as strong and sassy as Kate. Asher was the perfect gentlemen - at least until you got under his skin - charming, protective and chivalrous. They all have dark pasts filled with secrets, they're all running away from something, and they're all real and three-dimensional. I loved watching them interact with each other and thought the dynamics of their relationship was crackling with sweet chemistry! I loved, loved, loved the historical backdrop, as well as the lushly described settings! Sonia incorporated enough period detail into her story to make you feel like you were there, right in the middle of it all, breathing the same air as her characters. At the same time, though, she kept the story fresh and entertaining by weaving in the paranormal elements and spooky situations (loved reading about the psychic phenomena and spirit photography, as well as witnessing Elsie's disturbing and blood-chilling visions!). I found the historical content to be portrayed realistically and accurately, without overwhelming the plot line or taking away from the pacing. Sonia herself admits that doing research for her books is her favorite part of the writing process, and it's really no surprise that The Dark Between's setting is so rich and flavorful. In other words, this story is a real treat! If you enjoy Gothic fiction, spooky settings and intricate plot lines, you'll definitely fell in love with The Dark Between. ...more

Output: review An ambitious, visually dazzling and completely breathtaking literary triumph - Conjured by Sarah Beth Durst is an absolute must-read for any paranorma An ambitious, visually dazzling and completely breathtaking literary triumph - Conjured by Sarah Beth Durst is an absolute must-read for any paranormal fantasy fan out there. This book makes for an extremely compelling, refreshing and emotionally engaging journey - one that you'll want to re-take time and time again. It's entirely unique. It's seamlessly plotted. It's dark and creepy, yet mesmerizing and magical at the same time. Hands down one of my top favorite books ever. Conjured is a gorgeously told story - one that explores themes of identity, belonging, destiny and love. Reading it was a truly magical experience. I was mesmerized and amazed every step of the way. I loved everything about this book - the luscious detail in which the carnival backdrop was described, the horror of Eve's dreams and visions, the hidden symbolism and the perfectly satisfying ending. This tale was both uplifting and heartbreaking, sad and wonderfully hopeful. Full of meaning. I loved how new and fresh everything felt - I've never read anything like it before! Every page of Conjured shines with creativity and uniqueness. The plot line itself was incredibly well thought out and gripping. I did not want to stop reading. I loved the mystery behind Eve's character and how it slowly unravelled through visions and dreams. Many aspects of this tale were downright scary - like the magician-turned-serial-killer who would cut his victims into pieces and then keep their remains in special boxes, or Eve's disturbing memories resurfacing while she was unconscious - but there were also other aspects of it that were incredibly beautiful, meaningful and moving. Some of them were positive and heart-warming, others.. simply tragic. The complexity of this story was at times overpowering (in a good way) and I felt heavy with so many feelings and emotions this story brought on. Durst' heroines are always fierce, tough, clever and persistent - like Pearl, the kick-ass vampire girl with a conscience who has to save an entire town from being slaughtered, or Liyana, the girl who has to sacrifice her own life and dreams in order for her tribe to survive. They're always three dimensional, intelligent, witty and relatable. You meet them, you get to know them and you end up caring for them, like they're not just characters in a book, but real life people. And Eve is no exception. She's a mystery to everyone, including herself - lost and scared, and yet determined to discover who she really is and why her memories are so important to the people protecting her. She's special and different, and there's a shocking secret in her past... Sarah Beth Durst is incredibly talented. I am a huge fan of hers - always ready to drop everything else to read her new book the moment I get my hands on it. Seriously, no one does it better. She doesn't rewrite old tales, she creates all her stories, settings and characters from scratch. Her world and character building skills are top notch and her books deserve to be loved, cherished and raved about. I can't wait to see what other stories she'll pull out of her magical hat! ...more

Output: review The Hunting is the second book in The Repossession series, and it picks up exactly where the first book left off. More than 36 kids had been kidnapped The Hunting is the second book in The Repossession series, and it picks up exactly where the first book left off. More than 36 kids had been kidnapped and used as guinea pigs in teleportation experiments performed by the cold-blooded scientists working for the Fortress. Majority of them lost their lives. Only a small group of kids managed to survive and escape, and now they're being hunted down, one by one, and taken back to the underground research facility to be used in yet more vile experiments. Genie, her boyfriend, Rian, and Rian's sister, Renee are on the run. Accompanied by the rabbit-chasing Mouncher, they managed to escape downriwer to Vancouver on a raft. But they're not safe yet. They survived the teleportation. They're extremely valuable. And the Fortress will do anything it takes to capture them. Teleportation devices, horrific experiments, sub-sonic waves, a corrupted (and evil) Reverend, supernatural powers and brathtaking action sequences - The Hunting has all that and more! It's a finely chiselled Sci Fi thriller that is dramatically driven with relatable characters and completely unexpected plot twists. Without a doubt, one of the best YA Sci Fi series out there. Science Fiction is a genre of big ideas and interesting premises, and Sam Hawksmoor is definitely a big concept guy. He does his research well and offers a very thorough worldbuilding and character development. The Sci Fi part of The Hunting, while totally mind-blowing and requiring a considerable degree of suspension of disbelief, is constructed in a way that actually makes you wonder if some of that stuff could one day be possible. The ideas are fascinating and exciting, but also kind of scary. Hawksmoor inspires you to ponder the possibilities and advantages of teleportation technology, but also invites you to consider all the dangers and consequences of it. He also raises many important questions, of both practical and philosophical nature. What's more important: the lives of a few dozen kids or technological progress that could possibly save the entire planet by stopping global warming? Where do we draw the line between "sacrifice in the name of science" and murder? What about the ethical principles and morality of scientific research? The Hunting is so much more than just a well written novel full of imaginative speculations and ground breaking concepts. It's also an action-packed, blood-chilling thriller and a poignant, meaningful story of survival, friendship, loyalty, love and finding one's place in the world. Complex, thought-provoking and emotionally affecting, it works on more than just one level, giving the reader something to think about, as well as something to get emotionally invested in. While not entirely rid of mood lifting, hopeful moments, The Hunting is (for the most part) very dark and disturbing. There's this omnipresent sense of danger and pursuit. You're always waiting for something bad to happen, anticipating the worst, preparing yourself mentally for the next attack. It's a truly heart pounding, nail-biting book that will keep you glued to its pages. I enjoyed all the twisty, jaw-dropping plot developments. Some of them made me cry, some made me want to pull out my hair, but in the end I came out of reading this book very satisfied and excited to see where the story will go in the next instalment. I especially loved the fact that we learned so much about the research facility and how it came to exist. We also learned about the person behind the entire project, the one funding it and pushing all the buttons. That was definitely very interesting! I enjoyed getting to know the supporting characters a bit better, especially the feisty red-head, Geenie and her genius love interest, Cary. There were times when Geenie really got on my nerves (she can be pretty annoying!), but she eventually grew on me. One thing for sure, I will never forgive Ri, the way he acted in the final chapters was unacceptable. I still don't understand what brought about such a dramatic change in his behaviour. I am, however, looking forward to see if Rian and Genee will be able to work things out! All in all, I loved The Hunting. It's a great story with a very cool premise. If you like your books fast-paced, thrilling, ambitious and thought-provoking, you'll definitely love this one! And be sure to have a box of tissues handy. The ending will break your heart. ____ ...more

Output: review Completely mind-blowing. As this is the third instalment in a planned four book series, I won't be discussing the plot in detail. I don't want to spo Completely mind-blowing. As this is the third instalment in a planned four book series, I won't be discussing the plot in detail. I don't want to spoil this awesome story for anyone, it's something you need to experience for yourself. I will, however, tell you just how extremely entertaining, action-packed and thoroughly jaw-dropping it was! You couldn't pry this book from my hands, it was THAT good. Merrick expanded the already rich and complex world even more, exploring different dimensions, adding new interesting characters and introducing us to new legends, stories from the past and information crucial to understanding and fully appreciating the story. However, while abundant in otherworldly creatures, magic, eye-popping fight scenes and vividly described settings, Release is still comprehensive and easy to follow. Release blends non-stop action and a journey to discovering yourself into one fascinating story, that is just as entertaining and breathtaking as it is moving and inspiring. If I was to describe this book using just one world, I'd pick EPIC. The writing is compelling and addictive, the characters are three-dimensional and truly unique, the plot twists are many and they are often shocking. And the humor! I just love the humor in these books! The dialogues are super fun to read, full of witty observations and biting remarks. And the relationship dynamics between all the characters are intensely enjoyable. Like I said before, both the plot line and the settings are top notch, ultimately though, it's the awesome characters that make the story for me. They are all realistically drawn and depicted in a way that makes you connect with them instantly. Each character has a distinct personality and possesses some sort of unique ability (supernatural or not). They're vivid, colorful, energetic, often snarky and badass, but they're also very human. Both Chase and Rayna are tough and fierce, but they're also emotional, vulnerable and soft on the inside. They try their best to do the right thing, but they don't always know what "the right thing" is, they make mistakes, they doubt themselves. They fall and then they get back up, dust themselves off and try even harder. That's what makes them so awesome. That's what makes me love them so much. They're not perfect. No one is perfect. But they fight for what they believe in, even if it's hard. Even when it hurts. Even if you don't know who you can trust and who your real enemy is. I thought that Chase grew a lot as a character in Release. He had to learn to control his abilities, which basically meant working on his temper and controlling his emotions. He had to search for the soul pieces, but he also had to do a lot of soul-searching within himself. He was an awesome character to follow in Exiled and Shift, but he was still very immature then. In Release he changes a lot, smartens up and learns a lot about himself. I loved that! As much as I loved Chase, Rayna, Willy and Tiki, I must admit I absolutely adored Willy's grandmother! What a fantastic, sharp-tongued, kick-ass character she is! All in all, if you're not familiar with The Protector series yet, you have some serious catching up to do. It's such a great series, filled with creative ideas, breathtaking action sequences and characters you'll quickly grow attached to. If you adore fantasy genre and enjoy stories that are complex, awesomely imagined and thoroughly entertaining - this is the series for you! ____ Also posted over at: ...more

In fact, I a Orleans is, hands down, the best book I've read this year thus far. I find myself at loss for words to describe just how much I loved it. In fact, I am still processing what I've just read, and the more I think about, the more amazed I become. The post-apocalyptic setting is absolutely stunning. The prose is so unique and intriguing - it elevates the story and puts you right in the middle of the disease-ridden environment. The premise is very original, there's no cheesy romance, the characters are one of the most interesting, realistically-sketched ones I've ever read about in YA lit, and the totally unpredictable, bold ending left me dumbfounded and with a hole in my chest. It's a story I won't ever forget. I wish there was more, I wish it wasn't the end. At the same time, though, this story is just perfect the way it is. I wouldn't change a thing.

Output: review Thrilling, disturbing, richly textured and breathlessly action-packed, Michael Grant's second book in the GONE series is absolutely phenomenal! It's Thrilling, disturbing, richly textured and breathlessly action-packed, Michael Grant's second book in the GONE series is absolutely phenomenal! It's been almost three months since all the adults disappeared and the forcefield - that is referred to as the FAYZ - encased the town of Perdido Beach, CA. And things are not getting any better. The food supplies have run out. The kids are starving. And no one has come to their rescue. At this point, it becomes clear that there will be no help from the outside world - there is no outside world, there's only the FAYZ. Sam and his friends are doing everything they can to come up with something to eat. They propose harvesting fruits and vegetables from the fields surrounding the town, but the kids refuse to work. They're just kids, they still expect others to take care of them. The already bad food situation gets even worse, when huge worms are found hiding in the cabbage patch that is their main supply of food. And they're not just any worms, they're mutated and very territorial, ready to rip apart anyone who comes close. Kids who turn 15 start disappearing without a trace. Poof and they're gone. One by one. And no one knows what happens to them, where they go, if they die or cross over to the other side. After one of the kids with supernatural powers (a "mutant") accidentally kills his "normal" friend, a group called the Human Crew is set up. Consisting of people who haven't (yet?) developed any supernatural abilities, the group refuses to follow the leadership of "freaks", believing them to be evil. It doesn't take long for the situation to spin out of control. On top of all that, there is also the Coates Academy crew to worry about, with Sam's twin brother, Caine, plotting to take over the nuclear power plant. And the Gaiaphage. Awake now. Getting stronger, more powerful. And hungry. So hungry... Wow, what an incredibly intense sequel that was! After the absolutely mind-blowing beginning of the series, I didn't think Michael Grant will be able to keep up with the action, tension and mystery, but he totally outdid himself ten times over with Hunger! It was even more gripping and eye-popping than Gone. Even darker, grittier and more heart-pounding. Grant managed to expand the world even further - we spend more time at the power plant, in the mine shaft and in the fields/forests surrounding the town - and introduce us to some new, fascinating characters. I really enjoyed getting to know all the supporting cast, especially Computer Jack, Brianna and Duck. All these characters - with all their awesome abilities - added a lot of flavor to the plot, their stories were all unique, their personalities - vibrant and distinct. At the same time, we also got to know the lead characters better, which was equally wonderful. I feel that they became more real and less fictional to me. I definitely care a whole lot more about them now, even about some of the "bad guys" from Coates Academy. Hunger is less black-and-white than Gone was. The things we learn about the characters and their past put things in a different perspective, which results in this book being even more captivating and emotionally engaging! I felt really sorry for Sam at times, he was chosen to be the leader and he eventually gave in and accepted this responsibility, but it didn't get any easier for him. Quite the opposite, he was even more desperate, cracking under all the pressure, afraid to make a mistake, not wanting to let anyone down. He really grew as a character, became mentally and physically stronger, more fierce and determined, but never less afraid. Never less scared. He did his best, but more often than not even his best was not enough to save everyone. His desperation was almost palpable. I definitely appreciated the fact that Grant didn't hold back or try to sugarcoat things, making them more YA-friendly. This series is on the mature side of YA. It contains scenes of graphic violence, torture and death. It also deals with some difficult themes, such as tolerance, discrimination and bullying, starvation and how it affects people, sacrifice and betrayal. It entertains you with the non-stop action, but it also gives you something to think about. You flip through the pages like a maniac, you root for the characters, you worry and cry with them, you mourn them when they die (and some of them ARE going to die), you occasionally chuckle at the witty remarks and clever lines. You live this book. It totally and completely consumes you. I can't tell you how much I love this series. I am so glad I finally got a chance to read it, as it's most certainly one of the best YA series ever written. Fans of dystopian literature are sure to fell in love with this one. It really packs a strong punch! ...more

Output: review There are certain things that readers might find scary or intimidating about Michael Grant's GONE series. The first thing would most definitely be its There are certain things that readers might find scary or intimidating about Michael Grant's GONE series. The first thing would most definitely be its length. Six books, well over 500 pages each. Yes, that is intimidating. The second thing? The detailed and quite elaborate maps of the FAYZ (Fallout Alley Youth Zone) included at the beginning of each book and the many different faces gracing the covers - both suggesting a complex plot line and rich cast of characters. Also quite intimidating. So if you are worried about it being too long, heavy, convoluted or overwhelming - don't. Grant's breathtaking and brilliantly executed series is completely captivating, suspenseful and intensely readable. You will be flipping through the pages with a lightning-fast speed and - like me - kicking yourself for not picking it up earlier. Plus, you are bound to have some really awesome arm muscles after all that heavy lifting! "They're gone. They all just... disappeared." "What about your teacher?" Edilio said. "She's gone, too." Astrid said. "Gone?" "Poof," Quinn said, not giggling, so much now, starting to think maybe it wasn't a joke after all. The plot of this incredibly well-thought-out dystopian science fiction novel centres around the town of Perdido Beach - or rather a group of kids and teenagers trapped in it. When one day every person 15 and older disappears without a trace, and those who remain are trapped under some sort of impenetrable dome (or energy barrier), the quiet and remote town quickly descends into chaos. The communication with the rest of the world is cut off - for all they know they might be the only people left in the entire world. There's no television, no cell reception, no internet. And weird and scary things begin to happen: people are developing strange supernatural powers, animals are mutating, food supplies are running low. A group of teenage kids - including Sam Temple, his best friend, Quinn Gaither, a school genius, Astrid Ellison, and a kid who only recently moved to the town, Edilio Escobar - try to make sense of it all. Sam becomes the unofficial leader of the town's kids, giving advices, helping those in need and trying to find answers. The kids must exert themselves to survive, but not all of them realize that yet. Tension rises, conflicts arise, and the situation begins to rapidly deteriorate as people fail to adjust to their new reality. Things get even worse when a group of students from the nearby Coates Academy shows up in town, trying to take over leadership. And like that wasn't enough, there's also an evil presence (also known as the Darkness), lurking in the abandoned mine shaft. "You're telling me there's a bunch of uranium under the ground and no one is supposed to think that's dangerous?" Edilio said skeptically. "A bunch of uranium and one dude's bones," Quinn said. "Welcome to Perdido Beach, where our slogan is "Radiation? What radiation?" What an utterly and irresistibly compelling story! Gone has everything I enjoy - and forever look for - in YA. It's a breathless adventure full of awesome characters, mind-blowing plot developments and heart-pounding confrontations. Grant skilfully and effortlessly blends action, drama, horror, science fiction and romance, creating a one-in-a-million, explosive page turner. It's quite a complex story, but thanks to Grant's excellent story telling there's no risk of getting lost or confused. I never - not even once - had any problem understanding or following the plot line. Moreover, the pacing was so good, and the mystery so exciting, it took me merely 2 days to get through this book! I thought the worldbuilding and all the characters were top-notch. The fictional town of Perdido Beach was really well described, I was able to visualize every little detail in my head. And the characters were even better. I loved the fact that Sam was not a stereotypical hero type. He was good looking, but not exactly a "hottie". He was brave and kind, but he also had his darker moments, and he didn't volunteer to be the town's leader, quite the opposite, he did everything he could to avoid this responsibility ("I'm not a leader of anything. I'm as scared as they are. I'm as lost as they are."). I thought he was a realistic and likeable character and though I sometimes found myself itching to slap him, I also thoroughly enjoyed following his adventures. Edilio and Astrid were both really great characters, too, but the one character I loved the most was probably Lana. Not only did she have a really cool and useful superpower, but she was very genuine and sweet. Plus, I absolutely loved her interactions with Edilio. Overall, this was just such a fun, extremely entertaining and intensely gripping story, I really regret not picking it up earlier. At the same time, though, I am glad I didn't, I don't think I'd be able to wait a year for the next instalment without losing my sanity. This series demands to be read back to back. It's addictive, fast-paced, clever, heart pounding, often shocking and emotionally engaging. Its content is definitely on the mature side - there's a lot of darker themes here, some truly violent and terrifying moments, and some absolutely heart-breaking and/or gut-wrenching scenes - but if you enjoy books that are powerful, gritty and completely absorbing - this is the one for you! ...more

Output: review Bold, powerful, and thematically daring, Rootless is a masterpiece debut novel from Chris Howard. This astoundingly compelling and immensely satisfyin Bold, powerful, and thematically daring, Rootless is a masterpiece debut novel from Chris Howard. This astoundingly compelling and immensely satisfying novel tells the story of Banyan, a 17-year-old tree builder and an artist, who dedicated his whole life to creating trees from pieces of scrap metal and electronic elements, and is now about to be launched on a wild quest to find his missing father and the remaining trees on Earth. They figured me too young for a tree builder. I could see it in their eyes. Bunch of rich freaks, staring at me like I needed to impress them. But I did need to. That was the problem. The world described in Rootless is completely mesmerizing. It's dark, ruthless, sad. Filled with misery and pain. Life is cheap in this world. People die from hunger, diseases, or from the hand of another. GenTech (a big corporation) controls the food supplies. Their genetically engineered superfood provides everything that a body needs, but people don't get enough of it. And there is nothing else to eat - all the animals are dead, plants are gone, and water supplies are short. The only thing that grows in this desert of a world is a genetically modified corn, but GenTech owns the cornfields and they'll kill anyone who tries to steal from them. And so people starve, their weakened bodies get sick, their lives are cut short. And even if you're lucky enough to get enough food, there are other things out there that can - and will - kill you. Like the mutated, flesh-devouring locusts. Or the pirates. It's a mad, mad world. Everyone's got to have something to believe in, that's what Pop always told me. He'd spent his whole life trying to make the world worth living in. And I was damned if I was going to let him die someplace alone. Banyan is a great, believable character. His motivations seem real, he often acts on emotions, but also displays a lot of compassion and courage. He's a survivor. He's smart, quick-witted, resourceful. He fights for what he believes in and is ready to sacrifice himself for the people he loves and cares about. At the same time, he's not naive, he doesn't let others manipulate him. He has a strong will and an equally strong moral compass. Sure, he makes mistakes - who doesn't? But he always tries to do the right thing, and that's all that matters in the end. I had no problem connecting with him. His feelings and actions were real, and they definitely managed to affect me emotionally. I found myself rooting for him, sharing his happy and sad moments, his victories and heartbreaks. That is one masterful character development on Howard's part! I stared at her. Wanting her. And I wanted to be more than just her means to some end. I wanted to be someone with which she'd become rooted and tangled. Banyan's creations symbolize so many things. They're not only pieces of art, built to please the eye and make life on the brutal, sun-parched earth slightly more bearable. They're also - or perhaps most of all - little islands of hope, bringing life, happiness and color to the darkest of times. They give people something to believe in, something to fight for. Banyan's tree-building work goes far beyond creating something from pieces of metal, plastic and electronics. He's not only a tree builder, he's also a soul-builder. His art has the power to inspire and transform, remind people of better times and push them to fight for their future. In that sense, Rootless is just as fun, entertaining and visually mesmerizing, as it is emotionally affecting, thought-provoking and poignant. Chris Howard created a thoroughly disturbing vision of the future, but also one that is not completely without hope. He succeeded in bringing the violent, desolate post-apocalyptic world of Rootless to vivid life. And he gave it purpose - to caution, educate and motivate. To inspire change before it's too late, before the terrifying reality of Rootless becomes our own. This novel is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally impactful. I was completely blown-away by all the aspects of it. All in all, Howard's debut novel is simply mind-blowing. An ingenious combination of ground-breaking biopunk science fiction, mesmerizing fantasy adventure, and a stunning post-apocalyptic vision. The environmental message is clear and powerful, the social commentary - absolutely and completely relevant. On top of all that, the unexpected twists, high-intensity blood-splattered scenes and mind-numbingly shocking developments will keep you right on the edge of your seat all the way through. Rootless is just as much food for imagination as it is food for thought. I can't wait for the next book! __ Posted at: ...more

Output: review Every Day is absolutely and completely extraordinary. It's unlike anything else out there. An excellent and brilliantly executed mix of contemporary r Every Day is absolutely and completely extraordinary. It's unlike anything else out there. An excellent and brilliantly executed mix of contemporary romance and science fiction - beautiful, powerful and utterly unforgettable. Brimming with intensity, wit and soulful depth, it's a bittersweet tale of love, identity, and the power of human connections. It's not just a book. It's one of the best YA books on the market. A must have, must read, and must share. “This is what love does: It makes you want to rewrite the world. It makes you want to choose the characters, build the scenery, guide the plot. The person you love sits across from you, and you want to do everything in your power to make it possible, endlessly possible. And when it’s just the two of you, alone in a room, you can pretend that this is how it is, this is how it will be.” The premise of Every Day is quite simple, yet entirely unique and fresh at the same time. Sixteen-year-old A wakes up every day in a different body. Sometimes it's a boy, sometimes a girl - there is no pattern or rule for that. The only thing that doesn't change is age - all his hosts are always the same age as he is. He doesn't get emotionally attached, he doesn't do anything his host wouldn't do, he's merely an observer, a passer-by. Until he meets Rhianna, a girl who happens to be the girlfriend of one of his hosts. Until he falls in love, unable to resists, move on and forget. Until the universe comes crashing down on his head and the life as he knew it gets flipped upside down and inside out. “I am a drifter, and as lonely as that can be, it is also remarkably freeing. I will never define myself in terms of anyone else. I will never feel the pressure of peers or the burden of parental expectation. I can view everyone as pieces of a whole, and focus on the whole, not the pieces. I have learned to observe, far better than most people observe. I am not blinded by the past or motivated by the future. I focus on the present because that is where I am destined to live.” Levithan artfully explores themes such as love, life, sexuality, equality, abuse and sacrifice. And he does it with unmatched cleverness, intelligence, honesty and sensitivity. Every Day is filled with inspiring, thought-provoking reflections and beautifully constructed, meaningful scenes. It's full of memorable quotes that are demanding to be read over and over again and then shared with your family and friends. The narrative voice is not only authentic and haunting, it's also - or perhaps most of all - strikingly and searingly intimate and personal. It's impossible not to be deeply affected by it. “It's one thing to fall in love. It's another to feel someone else fall in love with you, and to feel a responsibility toward that love.” I loved A. I absolutely and utterly adored him. Everything about him - from the darkness and coldness within him, to how smart, understanding, thoughtful and caring he appeared - was magnetic. He was such a fascinating character. Opinionated, intelligent, passionate. He resigned himself to his fate, accepted it and tried to make the best out of every day, making sure not to harm his "hosts" and the people around them. He understood the hopelessness of his situation - he did not go looking for love; love found him. And it was the truest of all true love - the one that inspires you to do good. Selfless love. Pure love. “People take love's continuity for granted, just as they take their body's continuity for granted. They don't realize that the best thing about love is its regular presence. Once you can establish that, it's an added foundation to your life." I love, admire and respect David Levithan. He is an excellent writer. His stories encourage deep intellectual and emotional engagement, they're not just something you read, put away and forget about. They stick with you. They make you feel and think. They change the way you see the world. They crush you to pieces and then glue you back together, leaving you all shaky and broken, but hopeful and satisfied at the same time. They're rare. Extremely rare. And Every Day is quite possibly the rarest one of them all. Don't miss it! ...more

Output: review With his signature wit, charm and cleverness, Rusty Fischer takes the readers on yet another fan-zombie-tastic, hold-on-tight-to-your-panties action-p With his signature wit, charm and cleverness, Rusty Fischer takes the readers on yet another fan-zombie-tastic, hold-on-tight-to-your-panties action-packed journey that is just as cool, nerdy and entertaining as it is gut-wrenching and emotional. The story picks up approximately three months after the events in book one (Zombies Don't Cry). To avoid being captured by the Sentinels, Maddy, Dane and Stamp have been forced to flee Barracuda Bay, leaving everyone and everything they knew behind. They are now "living" in Orlando, working at a local theme park in the Great Monster Makeover show, doing their best to stay under the radar and out of trouble. Well, at least that's what Maddy and Dane are trying to do. Stamp? Not so much. Ever since he and Maddy broke up, he's been partying every night, hooking up with girls (and Normals at that!) and enjoying the night life of Orlando to the fullest. As reckless and worrisome as his behaviour is, it isn't until he falls for a certain mysterious blonde that things really spin out of control, triggering a chain reaction that will put the after-lives of our zombific trio in great danger. Brace yourself guys, some seriously nasty brain-goo is about to be spilled! Zombies Don't Forgive was SO MUCH FUN! I loved everything from the sparkly dialogues, deliciously nerdy humor (for example: Maddy finds her brain-supplier on a website called Zombies 'R Us. Her own nickname there is Living Dead Girl. Total WIN!) to the non-stop action and jaw-dropping plot twists. From the moment Val stepped onto the scene, I knew she was going to be trouble. I really loved Maddy and Dane for doing everything in their power to protect Stamp, whether that meant dressing up as survey-takers and snooping around or risking their after-lives to save his skin. Their friendship had its good and bad moments - they were annoying the not-exactly-living souls out of each other while sharing a closet-size apartment - but they were always there for each other. Even having to deal with the painfully awkward romantic situation they found themselves in (I guess you could call it a Living Dead Love Triangle) didn't destroy the strong bond between them. I really like the fact that we got to learn a little bit more about the Sentinels in this book. On top of that, we were introduced to the Keepers (who are somewhere between the Sentinels and the Ancients). Rusty Fischer expanded the world we knew from book one, adding new, interesting aspects to it and therefore making the story even more exciting. The ending - as well as all the heartbreaking, gut-twisting events leading up to it - was totally unpredictable and eye-popping. I could not believe where the story went, though I must say it was such a brilliant development! In short, I was blown away (yet again), impressed and deeply satisfied. I laughed a lot while reading this book, but I also worried, got angry and bawled. And I'm pretty sure I growled a couple times, too. Yes, this book is a zombielicious fun fest - hilarious, entertaining and quirky - but it's also so much more than that. It's a sweet, warm and meaningful story of friendship, love, survival, revenge and sacrifice. Not some shallow paranormal romance filled with cheap jokes and brainless action, but rather something deeper, more thoughtful and emotionally engaging. Most importantly, Fischer's characters are blissfully angst-and-drama-free. Zombies Don't Forgive is no sullen-Cullen mope-fest, it's a cool, original story that will seriously rock your boat! In the end, despite the fact that all (or almost all) the characters in Zombies Don't Forgive are dead, cold and pretty stiff (literally speaking), the story itself has a beautiful beating heart. From beginning to the end, it's funky, fresh and full of incredible energy. And the only thing I could possibly complain about is having to wait so long for the next book in the series! _________________________________________________________ This review will be posted on Bookish (www.evie-bookish.blogspot.com) on April 5th 2013, as part of MEN in YA2 blog event. ...more

Output: review Two words: Russian folklore. I absolutely loved Dreaming Anastasia series, and Anastasia Forever - the third and final instalment - in particular. If Two words: Russian folklore. I absolutely loved Dreaming Anastasia series, and Anastasia Forever - the third and final instalment - in particular. If you're into folklore, myths, legends, spooky bedtime stories about witches and fantastic creatures that are out there to get you.. well, this is the series for you! Featuring rich Eastern European mythology, culture and history, Anastasia Forever is a breath-taking conclusion to a mervellous, enticing and beautifully-written YA Historical Romance about love, destiny, immortality, dreams, long buried secrets and freedom. A well-researched, absolutely fascinating and dangerously addictive story that I couldn't put down! As much as I would love to discuss the plot, I can't. This is the third and final novel, and therefore anything I would say would be a spoiler for those of you who haven't yet read it. But let me just tell you that this was one of the best, most exciting and satisfying final books I've had the pleasure of reading. Even more fast-paced and entertaining than the previous two books, even more fun and charming (with all the awesome supporting characters and their often-hilarious interactions), even more heartbreaking and mesmerizing. When I finished reading it, I immediately felt the need to sit down and re-read the entire series. It was that good. It's a story of three people whose lives are intertwined with each other in the most bizarre, intriguing way. Anne - a sixteen year old girl from Chicago - is connected through bloodline to some tragic and mysterious events from the past. When one day Anne accidentally collides with a handsome blue-eyed boy named Ethan, her whole world gets flipped inside out in a blink of an eye. Ethan tells Anne that Anastasia Romanov - the girl Anne has been dreaming about every night - is not dead. She's been captured and held captive by the Russian witch Baba Yaga. And the only person who can help free Anastasia is Anne. With that starts an adventure that is just as exciting as it is dangerous, and just as magical as it is romantic. An adventure that now - sadly - comes to an end in this extraordinary final book! Special powers, time travel, bizarre creatures Anne never thought existed outside of fairy tale books - our heroine will have to face all that and more.. Is she strong enough to help Anastasia? This series was - and I'm not exaggerating - totally mind blowing. I love mythology and folklore, and Russian folklore in particular has so much to offer! It's so rich in beautiful (often vividly depicted, creepy) tales and spooky stories. And Joy Preble did a magnificent job researching all that and then incorporating all the most fascinating information into the story. At times I was oooh-ing and aaah-ing, other times I'd get goosebumps, but I never felt bored or uninterested in the events that were unravelling before my eyes. The story line moved swiftly and was full of heart-pounding events. There were many jaw-dropping twists and turns, and in the end I was left breathless, but with a huge smile on my face, satisfied and content. All the characters in this series are wonderful. I found myself connecting with Anne and Anastasia in more than one way, and I couldn't help but to fall under Ethan's charm. They're all complex, likeable, realistic and strong. I especially loved the fact that our female lead was a strong, powerful character, who - even though she sometimes did make mistakes - was ready to face whatever life would throw her way, always finding a way to overcome all the obstacles. She was a fighter and I admired her. Not to mention that she was just so very easy to love - her personality was easy-going, likable, cheerful, and positive. All the side-kicks were great, too, especially Tess and Ben. For supporting characters I found them exceptionally fleshed out and their presence added a lot of flavour to the story. Joy Preble built an incredible world, filled with historical events (the Romanov and their tragic story!), mythical creatures, goosebumpy stories and characters you genuinely care about. On top of all that, her smoothly flowing, captivating prose was like a breath of fresh air! I was amazed how much I ended up loving this series, and am so very sad to see it come to an end. At the same time, though, I'm so excited to see what else this incredibly talented author has in store for us! ...more

Output: review Evergreen is the second book in Brenda Pandos' fabulous and gorgeously imagined Mer Tales. I absolutely adored the first book, Everblue, and was lite Evergreen is the second book in Brenda Pandos' fabulous and gorgeously imagined Mer Tales. I absolutely adored the first book, Everblue, and was literally counting the days to the release of Evergreen. Brenda Pandos' mermaids and mermen are truly extraordinary and insanely fun to read about. I knew I would love Evergreen just as much as I loved Everblue. I knew this book would be a huge treat. And I knew I would stay up all night reading it, desperate to soak up every delicious detail of Pandos' careful and magical world building. And yet I was still totally blown away when I finally sat down to read it. This book proved to be even better than the first one, even more action packed, exciting, swoon-worthy, dramatic, and addictive! Brenda Pandos made an even bigger splash with this excellent new addition to the series, and boy, did I love it! Evergreen picks up exactly where Everblue left off. Bound together by a powerful mer kiss, Fin and Ash are now forced to endure a long time separation while Fin and his family are on the run for their lives, trying desperately to figure out a way to free Fin's sister, Tatchi. They know that one day they will need to decide which one of them will convert to the other's life, what they don't know is just how soon that moment will come. The rotten, treacherous underwater Kingdom of Natatoria holds many more dark secrets then anyone ever expected. Secrets that will put Fin and Ash's relationship -- and possibly their lives -- in great danger! I said that before and I will say it again: Brenda Pandos world-and-character building skills are extraordinary. There are so many fun little details to the story, so many exciting plot developments, vibrant new characters, moments of absolute heartbreak and longing, amusing dialogues and blood-pressure-rising situations that this book is virtually impossible to put down mid-way. The narrative flow - alternating points of view between Fin and Ash - is so effortless and magnetic, you just can't bring yourself to pause. Whenever the story gets too emotionally intense or too serious, Brenda throws in a humorous back-and-forth between the characters, a hilarious situation, or a clever mermaid joke, and the tension instantly deflates, just so she can build it back up again few pages later! It's a wild roller coaster ride, and you'll need to hold on tight to your seats! Evergreen is even more action packed than Everblue. More is happening -- Fin has some serious problems to deal with, and Ash's life is not drama-free either -- and it seems that something evil is lurking around every corner. At the same time Brenda expands the fictional world -- introducing us to some wicked new characters -- and we get a way better understanding of the mer world, complete with the kingdom's politics and customs. We learn more about the magical bond created by mer kiss, as well as about what happens when a merman loses his fin. The plot is thick with secrets, lies, and longing. There's a feeling of urgency to the story, of time that is running out, of uncertainty about the future. Like I said, it's a pretty intense ride, but also one that is perfectly balanced and very enjoyable. As much as I loved Fin and Ash, I must say that two characters that really stood out for me were Galadriel and Collin. Both of them have very strong, vibrant, interesting personalities and there's more to them than meets the eye. Galadriel is a character that one loves to hate, though at the same time there is something very intriguing about her, a certain dark and dangerous aura that surrounds her, and maybe just a tiny bit cuckoo-crazy to complete the picture. She's strong-willed, bold, sassy, fierce, and often mean and ruthless. I was utterly fascinated by her wild personality! Collin, while trying to appear all manly, irresistible and unbeatable, was in fact quite adorable, especially in his interactions with Ash. I laughed so hard at his failed attempts to enchant Ash with his singing! I had so much fun reading Evergreen, it was a sweet, seductive, adventurous and enchanting novel. A wonderful addition to the series that once again leaves me counting the days to the release of the next book. If mermaid stories tickle your fancy, Brenda Bandos' Mer Tales are the books to go with! ...more

Output: review Written in beautiful, 19th century-sque language, full of visually sumptuous sceneries and vividly depicted, memorable characters, The White Forest is Written in beautiful, 19th century-sque language, full of visually sumptuous sceneries and vividly depicted, memorable characters, The White Forest is a gorgeous gothic novel that combines elements of historical fiction, fantasy, horror and romance. Set in Victorian England, this seductive and mysterious novel tells the story of one young man's sudden disappearance and the frantic search that ensues. The well-born son of Lord William Ashe, Nathan, goes missing. It happens not long after Nathan -- fascinated by the occult and metaphysical realities -- gets involved with the Temple of the Lamb. A daring and spirited soul, Nathan is always searching for answers, trying to look beyond what's instantly visible, experimenting, opening himself to the supernatural. Jane's extraordinary talents seem to have only deepened his curiosity for the otherwordly things. Now, Jane Silverlake, one of Nathan's closest friends, takes it upon herself to solve the mystery of his disappearance and - hopefully - get him back. Driven by love and guilt, armed with sharp intelligence and unnatural talents, Jane will not rest until she finds her dear friend. And soon she'll realize that she might be the only person in the world who can achieve that. The story starts off rather slow and at first nothing suggests that The White Forest is anything more than a good historical novel. That, however, changes within the first few chapters, as we learn more about Jane and her unnatural abilities, as well as the mysterious Ariston Day and his dangerous cult. The tension -- while practically non-existent at the beginning - slowly but steadily builds up to an almost heart-stopping crescendo of panic at the end. At first, I had some trouble getting used to the snail-like pace of the story, but don't let that fool you! It is not a slow-paced novel all the way through. You'll be surprised at how fast you'll be flipping the pages in the second half of it! The story flow is very gentle, almost dream-like. It allows the reader to fully immerse themselves in the plot and enjoy all the fabulously depicted visuals. I was amazed at how descriptive the prose was. Adam McOmber's writing style doesn't strike a single awkward note; it's sensual, mesmerizing, perceptive, and it engages not only your imagination, but also your senses. You can practically hear the soft rustling sound of leaves in the wind and you can feel the morning fog wrapping its cold, sticky arms around you. And, while the novel's pacing might feel just a tiny bit slow at the begging, the intensity of the gothic world will not make you bored or impatient. Adam McOmber places heavy emphasis on atmosphere, using eerie settings and rich but concise prose to build suspense and a sense of disquiet in the reader. The plot is build around a mystery of Nathan's disappearance, pervaded by the feeling of threat and unease, enhanced by the unknown. Unexplainable things are happening all throughout the story. There are omens, ghostly apparitions, disturbing dream visions and seemingly prophetic phenomenons haunting the main character, Jane. The story is full of dramatic events, insightful flash-backs (that -- while very important to the plot -- more often than not raise more questions than they answer), and emotional, almost too-intimate-to-witness moments between the characters. I loved the gentle but lustful prose. McOmber's vocabulary is rich and appropriate for the time period. It helps set the mood and creates an unforgettable, dark atmosphere that defines the gothic. The first-person narrative is dynamic, stimulating and engaging, and I found it nearly impossible to put the book down. At the same time, though, it is quite a demanding read that requires 100% of your attention. If you lose your focus, or try to skip a passage here and there, you'll find yourself going back to re-read certain parts in order to fully understand what's happening. This is, after all, an adult novel, and one that is not only thrilling and beautifully written, but also quite fascinating thanks to all the historical details it offers. I was especially excited to see the famous French detective, Vidocq, be part of the plot. His character added a realistic touch to the story, as well as a whole new different kind of threat to the well-being of our characters. All in all, The White Forest is a fabulous, richly imagined read, and one that is bound to make a huge impression on readers. If you loved Kenneth Oppel's This Dark Endeavor and Such Wicked Intent, you'll definitely enjoy devouring this book, too. It's a real treat for fans of anything dark, sinister, eerie and gothic. ...more

Output: review Brilliantly plotted, inventive, and outrageously fun to read, ReVamped is a book that rocked my socks off, made me shiver with excitement, and sent m Brilliantly plotted, inventive, and outrageously fun to read, ReVamped is a book that rocked my socks off, made me shiver with excitement, and sent me into dangerous fits of laughter. It's deliciously geeky, potent, beautifully imagined, emotionally engaging, and incredibly (and I mean INCREDIBLY) compelling. This is not your usual sucky vampire story. This is easily one of the most original, totally badass takes on the vampire world ever! Dawn is a vampire, and not just any vampire but a Born. She's the daughter of the US Vampire President, living in the Scarlet House (it's like the White House, only for the Vampire President and his family), and she's highly skilled in martial arts and combat tactics. On top of that, she's a trainer, responsible for teaching youngsters how to fight and defend themselves. The world is no longer afraid of vampires. Quite the opposite, ever since they announced their presence to the public, they've become more loved and more popular than human celebrities ever were. The two races coexist peacefully. There are certain laws and rules that both parties have to follow (like "no snacking on humans" and "no turning humans into vampires"). When rebel groups of vampires start popping up in various areas of the country, and the human population is suddenly in danger, Dawn's father sends her on a special mission to Angel Creek. She is to gather a group of vampires living there and train them to become guardians. The only problem is... those vampires are absolutely and utterly clueless and they suck at being vamps! Dawn not only has to train them in martial arts, but she basically has to teach them how to be proper vampires.. she has to revamp them. Like that's not enough, Dawn soon discovers that there is way more going on in the small town of Angel Creek than what everyone originally assumed, she stumbles upon an evil plot to take over the world (why start small? go big or go home!) and she finds herself right in the middle of a dangerous intrigue. I loved everything about this book, really. The plotting was skilful and thorough, down to the very last detail. The world building and the premise were simply masterful, I loved how original a world Ada created. I can't rave enough about the fascinating society, complete with all the social structures and politics. It was cool, unique and completely believable (despite its paranormal aspects). The characters were just awesome. Dawn was down-to-earth, kick-ass, smart, smoking hot and just sooooo sweet! She was also very strong, brave and a great leader. I loved her sense of humor and occasional sassiness. Both Sebastian and Ethan were great love interests. Obviously, I loved Sebastian more - he's gorgeousness impersonated, and I totally dig his "I'm so mysterious, baby, you don't even begin to comprehend it" act. He also seemed wise, experienced (hey! no dirty thoughts there!) and emotionally mature, though slightly damaged by his tragic past. A very complex and intriguing character, indeed. The villains were exceptionally fleshed-out, too, and I certainly appreciated the back story behind their evil plottings - it's a nice change to see bad guys that are not just evil for the sake of being evil, but their nasty behaviour (while it's still not acceptable) is somewhat motivated by the past events and experiences. While it's a greatly entertaining and fun story, ReVamped is also so much more than just that. There's some family drama involved, social issues weaved into the plot, convincing romance (no insta-love, no "I love you to death" after 10 pages, just the beginning of something that could potentially turn into a serious relationship), ingeniously plotted intrigue, tension, and a whole lot of unexpected developments. It's an unputdownable book, and one that you'll simply love and remember for ever. I quickly grew attached to all the characters and really enjoyed observing the dynamics of their relationships. Ada Adams' writing style is unexpectedly amazing (I say unexpectedly because it is, after all, her debut novel), and I was amazed how interesting and deep a story she created. All in all, ReVamped is an excellent YA debut novel, and one that I will be coming back to time and time again. I said that before and I'll say it again: to me, Ada Adams is Rusty Fischer on high heels. If you liked Fischer's Vamplayers or/and Zombies Don't Cry, you will fall head over heels for ReVamped. If you like your books entertaining, action-packed, sassy, intelligent and with a healthy dose of humour - this should be your next read. Trust me, you absolutely can't afford to miss it! ...more
