A YA novel about a young Goth girl who sees a ghost in school and then starts seeing her imaginary childhood friend come to life as well. Evil is coming after her, and she needs to find a way to avoid the darkness. The story was a bit complex, and I liked it, but I got a bit confused as well.

Another appealing story. I like Jack and his hero complex  a lot. The heroine’s sister was a bit exasperating and distracting, but the romance grew nicely. (MTH)

I enjoyed the relationship between Luke and Irene here—and his determination not to let her out of his sight! The suspense was strong and overall the story was very solid. I liked the interaction of the characters and if felt smart and fast paced. (MTH)

I’ve enjoyed the author’s Dr. Rhea novels, and she makes a brief appearance here. The story, though, revolves around the Chadwick family and Ashlee’s involvement with a serial killer who seems to choose his young victims by a connection with the Chadwicks.

Another story in the Blackbird sisters series. Nora is dealing with a broken relationship, a friend’s perils and her parents return—and that is just half of the story! Though not necessarily my favorite of the series, it was fun. (MTH)

I really enjoyed this story, though some of the past “scandal” seemed a bit overdone. But the characters had plenty of passion and strength between them, and the story also covered numerous countries. (MTH)

The second in the Mortal Instruments series. A number of the characters had some unexpected things happen to them, and I loved seeing Clary’s powers come into focus a bit more. One major plot point is still left unresolved, but I have some more hope that it might work out the way that I want it to!

The story was quite complex and had a couple of twists and turns I wasn’t expecting. I liked the interaction between the characters, the hero’s realization that his revenge wasn’t justified and the delayed resolution to the ending. (MTH)

Another Taki story. I liked it, though perhaps not as much as the other one I read. However, it did deal more with the consequences of those around you who live in sleeves and what memory and experience really is.

International is quite true here! A fun romp going through a couple of countries. The hero won’t believe the heroine didn’t throw herself at him, but that doesn’t stop their passion. Between a pretend engagement, twins and mistaken identity and lots of drama, it was an appealing story. (MTH)
