“For years I’d kept an audio diary of my own that dated all the way back to 2005. I was just a nine-year-old kid when I started, back when I loved to hear my own voice.” Will Besting This book was a different type of genre book read for me and I had to give myself a few days to wrap my head around ...

This was a neat book -- a quick read with an interesting twist at the end. A group of seven teenagers gather together at what's supposed to be a week-long "camp" to cure them of their debilitating fears. I enjoyed following the main character, Will, as he discovers what's really going on at the ca...

Although Dark Eden sounds pretty amazing (I was pretty excited about it) I was left feeling rather disappointed. The story as a whole was rather dull, surprisingly not much happens, the plot twists are rather predictable and the big secret at the end was just... silly. I started the book with high h...

Oh how I love to be shrouded in cryptic conversation, that hints at what awesomeness is to come...That was my first thought as I started reading Dark Eden. What? I take notes, okay? Dr. Stevens is tirelessly trying to convince Will that Fort Eden, a place that specializes in helping kids overcome th...
