Margaret K. McElderry, 2008
Courtesy of Teens Read Too
+ A satisfying conclusion to a complex, detailed, and thrilling fantasy series
NOTE: This is the third book in a trilogy, just in case you were unaware, and if you can make sense of this story without having read the first two... You're either amazing or scary.
Merle, Vermithrax, Junipa, and, of course, the Flowing Queen, have just barely escaped Hell and Lord Light with ...

The Stone Light (Dark Reflections) 5 reviews Kai Meyer
Margaret K. McElderry, 2006
Most wonderful book I've read for a while.
+ Its many unanswered questions and cliffhangers + Courtesy of Teens Read Too
I'm not sure which number this was but I totally loved the whole series. It is a great story well up until the end but that is to be expected. Seems like all novelists decide to completely ruin the series with the last chapter. I'd recommend you don't read past the defeat of supreme evil dude. ...

Legend: An Event Group Thriller 17 reviews David Golemon
Thomas Dunne Books, 2007
Not Just a Legend this Event
+ Cussler and DuBrul Club has new member
Legend, the second installment of the Event Group series is in many ways very different than the first book. The first installment is very fast paced, lots of snappy dialog, the action non-stop, and it is one hell of a rollercoaster ride. Also, EVENT scared the bejeezus out of me. The style of ...

Bestiary 24 reviews Robert Masello
Berkley, 2006
Good, But There Were Loose Ends
+ A new twist on the beasts of myth
This is the first book I have read by this author. It seems like a really good story that goes along enjoyably, but then doesn't really come together well in the end. The potential to be a one of a kind, fantastic book was lost in the last few pages.
