This is the first book of Simon Green’s Secret Histories series. It is meant to be a kind of tongue in cheek fantasy version of the Bond stories. It does a pretty good job of pulling that off. Although I think, especially in the beginning, some of the story suffers …
This is the fifth (and supposedly last) novel in The Noble Dead series by Barb and JC Hendee. It was about what you would expect given the fourth novel. I would have given this four stars except that the ending really ruined everything for me. In this book Magiere and …
The fifth book in the Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix did not disappoint me. Leaf wakes up in a strange room in the hospital with a bunch of other sleeping people. The people are transported by Dr. Friday to somewhere in the secondary realms. Meanwhile Arthur gets …
This is the second book by Jones that features Dubric Byerly as the lead investigator. All in all these books are much more heavy on the horror than the fantasy. In this book Dubric and crew end up going to the Reaches to investigate the disappearance of a number of …
This is the first book in the House of Night series by PC and Kirstin Cast. I was interested in this series because it was recommended for people who liked the Twilight series. Zoey Redbird is leading a fairly normal life, when during school she is Marked. Being Marked means …

This looks to be the first in a new series by Eoin Colfer. I am not actually sure if a new series is planned but the way the book ends would lead you to believe the potential is there. Fletcher Moon is a certified detective that is pulled into a …
This is the second book in the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead. It was just as engrossing and griping as the first book. This is another one of those series that I just can’t put down, yet I am not sure why. In this book a violent Strigoi attack …
This is the third book in the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. I think this is the strongest book in the series so far; although it still didn’t blow me away with its quality and creativity. In this book Mercy is contacted by Zee to see if she can …
