The Purple Emperor by Herbie Brennan
3.0
Really am enjoying this series. The chapters are short so the story seems to move a long. The author doesn't bother with too many descriptions, which is nice for a change. Blue would make a fun Halloween costume ;)
The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor
3.0
I was afraid that this book would be a lousy remake of Through the Looking Glass, but it is actually really good!
Alyss is next in line for the throne. Her aunt wants to prevent this from happening and Alyss, with the help of the Mad Hatter and other special ops friends escapes to our world. She meets Lewis Carroll who messes up her story (the one we have).

Beyond the Deepwoods by Paul Stewart, Chris Riddell
2.0
This was a different sort of tale and I still haven't decided whether I like it or not. Twig is an orphan raised by wood trolls. The catch: he doesn't know he's not a wood troll until he's a preteen and is told he has to find his own kind to live with (the sky pirates--humans). Along the way he meets the terrible inhabitants of the deep woods. The end is hokey and predictable, but the book was pretty adventurous in itself.
Tantalize by Cynthia Leitich Smith
2.0
About a teenage girl trying to balance running a new, hot restaurant and high school. New staff includes a vampire. A fun read.
Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier
5.0
I couldn't put this book down! Lots of suspense with a bit of romance, this title is a must for people who like these genres. And its a title I can recommend to my romance lovers who like "clean" books.
