This book really surprised me. I don't expect to be amazed when I read YA novels. Yeah for the most part they are okay but they have to much angst which tends to get on my nerves. This book didn't have any of that. We have two brothers, Nick and Alan who are especially close, fighting demons and r...
Review originally posted here.Why I Read It: Since its publication in 2009, I've read almost nothing but positive reviews for this book and its sequels. Two years ago, my then 18-year old brother, who is a VERY reluctant reader (in that he never read before then ever unless it was for school), had r...
Brilliant. I loved this book. It's Rob Thurman for teens. Although I figured out what was going on fairly early in the book, I don't know that the target audience, who haven't read the dozens of urban fantasy books I have, would figure it out as quickly. the pacing was perfect, I couldn't put it dow...
Probably more like 3.5 stars, but not quite four.I have to admire the author's courage in choosing to have a protagonist such as Nick. 25% into the book I really couldn't stand Nick. 30% into the book and I seriously considered giving up on it, because I really couldn't stand Nick. It was only thank...
Nick is dark, quiet, and exudes danger. Alan is friendly, open, and puts others before himself. The brothers back each other up no matter what. For years they've been hiding from Black Arthur and his minions, trying to keep their mother and the charm she stole from the master magician safe. They...
I liked the writing just fine, and the paranormal set-up was okay. But the big mystery at the heart of the book was one I saw coming from about page one. So, eh. I'll read the second book to see if anything interesting develops there, and I'll happily try other things by the author Team Human!Librar...
Dear readers, I had a wonderful review planned, but then I did some searching around and found out that the author does not like to see her books compared to a certain television series. Had I written this review in the way I originally intended to, I would have made about a thousand comparisons to...
Wow. This book really snuck up on me. I wasn't sure at first, because the writing seemed as though a lot had been cut out initially. I didn't think I was getting the whole picture. I honestly think that this book was not written for the YA market, but it ended up as one because of the younger age...
Wow! What can I say about this book apart from that I loved it and go read it now! :DI got drawn into this story so much and I loved the characters...and oh my goodness the twists and the turns (many unexpected) just kept me guessing and left me gasping with disbelief. I have rarely hated distractio...
Reread; see original read for full review. I still like this a lot, though I'm somewhat less forgiving of its flaws after having read the sequels--things I once excused as "a little rough, but it's a first novel; it'll get cleared up in later books" now mostly just make me sigh about what could have...
