Anything is possible in a fantasy book, but a 16-years-old girl that has never seen a sheet music in her life? Come on, the education at public schools in the USA cannot be THAT bad. What really get to me was the sheet music scene in Iron Daughter. This was obviously illogical and made her look stupid. All she had to do was to ask, there were several hints later. Sometimes it took her so long to get the idea, I got that "like to smack" feeling again :-)įor example: Robbie being in love with her (obvious since beginning), why was her boyfriend giving her a cold shoulder in Iron Daughter, using gremlins, and finding out the identity of the false Iron king. What was worse, the girl was often dumb as a brick. Especially as the girl leaves home for long time periods and never calls or sends a "I'm alive and O.K." message when she has the opportunity.īut since these books are probably intended for teenage readers, they can probably well identify with the character. At the beginning, she's your typical teenager (means "a whinning brat"), I really wanted to smack her a few times. What I had a problem with was the main character, Meghan Chase. Of course, there are some typical faults as in many similar books:Īncient beings speaking (contemporaly!) English, heroes surviving dozens of clearly deadly situations despite the odds, teenagers saving the world while the adults are totally innept, etc. Really, these books are anything but boring. In The Warden, a young nurse starts a new job at the Brookline asylum but soon becomes suspicious of its unorthodox procedures. In The Bone Artists, Oliver tries to make a little extra money for college by working for a seedy organization that traffics in human bones. In The Scarlets, Cal is drawn into New Hampshire College's twisted secret society-one with a deadly initiation. This collection also features bonus sneak peeks at Asylum, Sanctum, and Catacomb, the novels that first introduced the Brookline asylum's legacy of terror. Three chilling novellas set in the world of the New York Times bestselling novel Asylum, which Publishers Weekly called "a strong YA debut." For the first time, these three terrifying stories will appear together with new found photographs perfect for new readers or diehard series fans looking for new clues and insights into the thrilling world of Asylum. She does not know this mother and she will be leaving behind the one she has always thought of as her mother.

Sophie has led a reasonably happy life for a child living in a poor country rife with political unrest and violence. Sophie’s mother, carrying a shame she could not bear, fled to New York to escape a past that haunts her. Sophie has been raised in Haiti by her Tante Atie for the first twelve years of her life. These memories are carried within the women of this story and are passed through the generations where they persist and wreak havoc on the psyches of both mothers and daughters. The characters are weighed down with such misery and heartache as they shoulder the burden of nearly unbearable memories.

Norton, 2017), Lisa Wade analyzes its cultural roots: the evolution of courtship, our unrealized feminist revolution, Americas new business model of higher education, and the increasingly tenuous economic futures faced by young people. She discovers that the most privileged students tend to like hookup culture the most, and she considers its effects on racial and sexual minorities, students who "opt out," and those who participate ambivalently. In American Hookup: The New Culture of Sex on Campus (W. Using new research, she maps out a punishing emotional landscape marked by unequal pleasures, competition for status, and sexual violence. Rising above misinformation and moralizing, Lisa Wade offers the definitive account of this new sexual culture and demonstrates that the truth is both more heartening and more harrowing than we thought.Offering invaluable insights for parents, educators, and students, Wade situates hookup culture within the history of sexuality, the evolution of higher education, and the unfinished feminist revolution. Yet the drunken encounter we always hear about tells only a fraction of the story. The story of Santa and Pete is an old tale brought over from the Old World incorporating African and European legends. I liked the book since it was about family traditions and the real meaning of the holidays whether on celebrates Christmas, Hannaukah, Three Kings Days, Kwanzaa, etc. This is a book I intend to share with my family, and to re-read each year at Christmas time! Over the course of several Saturdays, the driver and passenger become a community of sorts, all looking forward to the next installment of the story. But he dutifully boards the bus - and discovers that most of the passengers know his grandfather, and look forward to his tales of old New York. The young boy isn't too pleased - he'd rather being flying kites with his friends. They decide he should ride the bus his grandfather drives, from Harlem to Greenwich Village and back, on Saturdays. In short, the young narrator's parents decide he needs to know his grandfather better. And the framework is a completely plausible intergenerational story. It is also a well-constructed tale of New York City's earliest history. Santa & Pete is the most interesting version I've heard to date of the St. After reading it, I congratulated myself of my purchase! I have a collection of Christmas books and this seemed a good addition. I came across this little book in the used book section of an antique shop.

Johnson's writing is solid, and if her plot unfolds a bit too schematically (the precise orchestration is supposedly due to the perfection of the villain's control), Vi's rebellion and process of change ring true.

A dominant but corrupt government is one of the most familiar tropes in dystopian fiction, and Johnson's debut novel sets up a dichotomy between "Goodies," residents of the Goodgrounds, where behavior is controlled via brainwashing and omnipresent technology, and the "Baddies," who live out in the Badlands. Lots of action, spice, secrets revealed, angst, and the usual terrific world building that I love from JLA. She works with the wolven, the draken, and Atlantian generals to lead them into battle for their King. Casteel is being held by the Blood Queen and Poppy is plotting how to rescue him. I’ll get to that near the bottom of the review since it’s spoiler-ish.ĭefinitely not a standalone, you have to read the other three books in the series, and it’s helpful to read A Shadow in the Ember as well. There’s been some controversy over this fourth book. It stunned me at first when Casteel spoke and low and behold it was a real guy! After the initial shock, I did really enjoy his voice. I think it was 25 hours!! I’ve listened to every book in this series- with two more to go- and the author changed this one up a bit with dual narration. Whew…The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. |
