Ink Exchange (YA) (4/5)
Second book in the series that began with Wicked Lovely. In this book, Leslie is chosen by the King of the Dark Court to do an "ink exchange" where his blood is tattoed onto her so that he can feed off of her emotions. Leslie is drawn to another fairy, Niall, and needs to decide if she will let herself be used by the Dark Court King or if she will take back control of her own life. A decent read that HS girls especially would enjoy. I have #3 to read soon.
When I Crossed No-Bob (YA) (4.5/5)
Addy comes from a rough family. Her father takes off to Texas and then her mother leaves her behind to go after him. A schoolteacher and his new bride take her in and raise her. Pappy returns but he's bad news--he's involved in the KKK. Addy realizes that just because he's family, that doesn't mean she has to be like him or even like him. A good coming of age story and this book had good action.
Kiki and Gizmo are sleeping amid my piles of books. Kiki is a Maine Coon battling HCM and Gizmo is a seal point Ragdoll.
Finger Lickin' Fifteen (5/5)
The latest in the Stephanie Plum series, probably my favorite series of all. In this one, a chicken barbeque guru is decapitated and Lula is a witness. The killers are after her and she moves in to Stephanie's apartment, causing Stephanie to move into Ranger's apartment. The usual twists and turns (cars blowing up, Stephanie torn between Morelli and Ranger) and the usual laughs (love Lula and Grandma as a cooking team!)
Al Capone Shines My Shoes (YA) (5/5)
This is the sequel to Al Capone Does My Shirts. Moose is still living on Alcatraz and has to pay back Al Capone for doing a favor for him. Natalie is at a special school now, Piper's mom is pregnant and Jimmy is jealous of Moose's friend Scout. Good action in this one. MS and HS boys and girls would like this book.
Stolen Children (YA) (5/5)
Amy gets a new babysitting job and gets more than she bargains for when she and her little charge are kidnapped. Amy tries to leave clues in the ransom videos for cops. She's a smart girl. Good action in this book. MS and HS girls would really like this book.
The Rock and the River (YA) (4.5/5)
This book details the civil rights movement and the Black Panthers. Sam and Stick are two brothers whose father is involved with Dr. Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement. Stick, the older brother, becomes involved with the Black Panthers. This book shows the horror that African Americans faced during this time period and how desperate people were to make a difference. Good boy book especially.
