• Raising the Horseman Review

  Another book for the October season, the town of Sleepy Hollow revolves around All Hallow’s eve and hauntings all year round thanks to the town’s illustrious Van Tassel family and the legend of the Headless Horseman. It’s a small town, and a bit of a tourist trap not the natives like outsiders much despite relying…

• An Illustrated History of Notable Shadowhunters & Denizens of Downworld

  This illustrated history promises to give you a behind the scenes peek into your favorite Shadowhunter and Downworlder characters from Clare’s hit fantasy series. Which it somewhat succeeds. I’ll admit the amazon summary may have oversold it as I was eagerly flying through the pages to see a complete Shadowhunter family tree as I am…

• Heartless Review

  Meyer steps away from the sci-fi landscape of Luna society and Earth to step into a world of magical realism where Victorian-era human characters chat with talking candles and animal beings in this tale of hearts stolen and broken.

• The Lunar Chronicles: Wire and Nerve Review

• The Lunar Chronicles: Winter Review

  Now it might be typical for me to say that a YA book about a ordinary girl becoming the face of a revolution reminds me of The Hunger Games. But it does. It’s a testament to Meyer’s skill because like Collins’ Hunger Games trilogy she doesn’t sugarcoat the ugly aspects of war and revolution. Poor…

• The Lunar Chronicles: Cress Review

  I really enjoyed Meyer’s take on the classic Rapunzel tale in Cress, giving further insight to the turncoat shell and hacker, Crescent Moon as well as giving Thorne some spotlight as well.

  Meyer creates a spooky horror atmosphere in her sophmore adventure of The Lunar Chronicles that continues the adventures of fugitive Cinder and takes on the Red Riding Hood tale.

• Twisted Tales: Almost There Review

  The latest Twisted Tale is here and asks “What if Tiana made a deal that changed everything?”New Twisted Tale writer, Farrah Rochon starts dramatically enough with the climatic scene in the catacombs as Tiana crushes the talisman in front of Dr. Facilier. Well, she was about to crush it when the Shadow Man offers the…
