Review: This is W.A.R. by Lisa Roecker

Posted by on 06/24/2013 • 33 Comments

This is W.A.R.Lisa Roecker Genre: YA Mystery Publication date: July 2nd 2013by Soho Teen

This is W.A.R. begins with a victim who can no longer speak for herself, and whose murder blossoms into a call-to-arms. Enter four very different girls, four very different motives to avenge Willa Ames-Rowan, and only one rule to start: Destroy James Gregory and his family at any cost. Willa’s initials spell the secret rallying cry that spurs the foursome to pool their considerable resources and deliver their particular brand of vigilante justice. Innocence is lost, battles are won—and the pursuit of the truth ultimately threatens to destroy them all.

It’s going to be a short post this week as my mailbox was pretty lonely, but I did find a few good reads at the sales tables which I’m pretty happy about. Also if you missed it this week, I listed my top zombie books on this week’s Big Girls Don’t Cry – on the zombie subject, just got back from seeing World War Z and I though it was pretty awesome! The story and zombie lore were both so well thought out (note that I haven’t read the book, but I do hear it’s nothing like it). Anyways, there were also 2…

Review: White Crow by Marcus Sedgwick

Posted by on 02/25/2013 • 31 Comments

White CrowMarcus Sedgwick Genre: YA HorrorPublication date: September 18th 2012by Square Fish (Macmillan)

You or your Alt? Only one will survive.

Some secrets are better left buried; some secrets are so frightening they might make angels weep and the devil crow.

Thought provoking as well as intensely scary, White Crow unfolds in three voices. There’s Rebecca, who has come to a small seaside village to spend the summer, and there’s Ferelith, who offers to show Rebecca the secrets of the town . . . but at a price. Finally, there’s a priest whose descent into darkness illuminates the girls’ frightening story. White Crow is as beautifully written as it is horrifically gripping.

With its creepy cover and synopsis, I…
