Don't Let Me Go by Janet Trumble

Reader Eternal, January 27, 2013

I can't say enough to recommend this stunning revelation of a novel. J.H. Trumble writes with compassion and grace about a contoversial subject. I absolutely devoured this beautifully written book. The characters are so real and became so dear to me. I was smitten from the very first paragraph. This bold and brave novel moved me to tears. We need more books like this one. Even if it isn't the kind of book you usually read, I would challenge anyone to read it and remain unmoved and unchanged.

The Treachery of Beautiful Things by Ruth Long

Reader Eternal, October 13, 2012

This is faerie with teeth and claws. Ruth Frances Long gives stunning life to old legends--the Green Man, Queen Mab, Puck, Titania and Oberon--skillfully weaving them all into a story that is both terrifying and utterly gorgeous. No cute, harmless pixies here--this is faerie as it was of old, when people feared the Wild Hunt and the wrath of the Sidhe. It's dark and threatening, magical and mysterious and menacing. I got chills more than once while reading. This is a book to get lost in. Highly enjoyable and highly recommended.

Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson

Reader Eternal, October 13, 2012

This novel is a fascinating re-imagining of the story of Peter Pan. The story we all know from childhood is deftly expanded with a lush backstory that makes it completely new and compulsively readable. Tiger Lily is a beautifully complex character--fierce, independent, and wholly compelling. By turns wistful, dark, hopeful, and tragic, this is an enthralling read that will stay with you long after the final page.

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

Reader Eternal, September 22, 2012

This book is a revelation. It's a stunning combination of spectacularly good writing and a storyline that will grip you from the first page. By turns heartbreaking, terrifying, and darkly funny, this is the kind of novel that will keep you up turning pages until three in the morning. I was so moved by this book that upon finishing it, I turned it over and immediately began to read it again. One of the best books I have read this year.

On the Island by Tracey Garvis Graves

Reader Eternal, August 18, 2012

This mesmerizing novel is truly an indie gem. Self-published by the author and now a New York Times bestseller, this book is a wonderfully unique and refreshing read. I devoured it and will most certainly read it again. I am very eager to read the next effort from Tracey Garvis Graves.
