Last October, Alice Ogilvie’s ex-best friend, Brooke Donovan, was killed—and if it weren’t for Alice’s unlikely alliance with her tutor, Iris Adams, and her library of the complete works of Agatha Christie, the wrong person would almost certainly be sitting in prison for the crime. The Castle Cove police aren’t exactly great at solving crimes. In fact, they’re notorious for not solving crimes.

Which is why, on the night of Castle Cove High’s annual Sadie Hawkins dance, Alice takes the opportunity to explore Levy Castle—the site of one of Castle Cove’s most infamous deaths. Mona Moody—­the classic film star—died there almost a century ago, and Alice is pretty sure the police got that invest­igation wrong, too. But before she can even think about digging deeper, she walks right into the scene of a new crime. Rebecca Kennedy, on the ground in a pool of blood. And standing over Kennedy? Another one of Alice’s ex-friends—Helen Park.

The Castle Cove Police Department thinks it’s an open-and-shut case, but Alice and Iris are sure it can’t be that simple. Park isn’t a murderer—and the girls know all too well that in life, and in mysteries, things are rarely what they appear to be. To understand the present, sometimes you need to look to the past.

Castle Cove is full of secrets, and Alice and Iris are about to uncover one of its biggest—and most dangerous—secrets of all.

There’s something going down and it’s up to the Agathas to figure out what.

I loved the first book in this mystery series, The Agathas. I liked the inventiveness of two teen girls, totally opposites, being brought together by their love of Agatha Christie and solving mysteries. The first book had all the hallmarks of a great mystery–twists, turns and I couldn’t figure out the ending.

This book has many of the same hallmarks–there’s a mystery and intrigue, but I had a few issues with it. The characters seemed to sound a bit the same after a while. I liked that it’s told from Iris and Alice’s POVs, but they tended to sound the same. Now that’s not totally bad because best friends tend to talk alike after a while, but it made it hard to keep straight who’s POV I was in. I also had an issue with the sheer volume of characters. It took some work to keep them straight (Like it would in an Agatha Christie book).

The characters are good. Iris has some issues and Alice is a bit snobbish. I’d hoped Alice would help Iris a bit as Iris has been abused and needs someone to be there for her. I didn’t like that the issue of child abuse and the after-effects weren’t really handled. Iris just sort of bucked it up, but not very well. I also thought Alice regressed a bit and got snobbier through the book. I liked Iris, but I wanted to root for her and Alice, but it wasn’t always easy with Alice.

The mystery is good, but almost comes second to the bumbling of the police department. It’s like the girls should be the ones in charge and the PD should go back to school. I don’t know if that was intentional, but I wanted to see the cops respect the girls a bit more and for them to work a bit harder.

Still, this was a good book and those who like mysteries, it’ll satisfy. There are enough twists and turns to keep things interesting. Give this book a try.

Review by: Cholla

Velveteen Monroe is dead. At 16, she was kidnapped and murdered by a madman named Bonesaw. But that’s not the problem.

The problem is she landed in purgatory. And while it’s not a fiery inferno, it’s certainly no heaven. It’s gray, ashen, and crumbling more and more by the day, and everyone has a job to do. Which doesn’t leave Velveteen much time to do anything about what’s really on her mind.

Bonesaw.

Velveteen aches to deliver the bloody punishment her killer deserves. And she’s figured out just how to do it. She’ll haunt him for the rest of his days.

It’ll be brutal… and awesome.

But crossing the divide between the living and the dead has devastating consequences. Velveteen’s obsessive haunting cracks the foundations of purgatory and jeopardizes her very soul. A risk she’s willing to take—except fate has just given her reason to stick around: an unreasonably hot and completely off-limits coworker.

Velveteen can’t help herself when it comes to breaking rules… or getting revenge. And she just might be angry enough to take everyone down with her.

Revenge can be so much fun. Just ask sixteen-year-old Velveteen Monroe. Murdered by a local serial killer, her sole ambition in the afterlife is to exact justice for what he did to her. Trouble is, Purgatory is crumbling around her, leaving it up to her – and her team of experts – to stop the shadowquakes before they tear it all apart.

Velveteen Monroe is gothy, snarky, and generally unlikeable… until you get to know her a bit. Although some of her rougher characteristics are still evident, she’s much more likely to let her softer side show. Which, between you and me, drives her just a bit crazy when it happens. I really like Velvet, despite her rather grumpy exterior. She’s honest to a fault and has a larger mission on her mind. Not just justice for herself, but for the others that have or might have to go through what she did with Bonesaw. Velvet is also a born leader, one who commands attention with little effort and earns the respect of all those that serve with her.

Nick is something else altogether. After Velvet and her crew free him from imprisonment in a crystal ball, he’s a mess. He’s lost, he’s frightened, and he’s more than a little disoriented. However, in true hero fashion, it doesn’t take him long to get it together and become a real part of the team. Not to mention falling completely for Velvet, abrasiveness and all. His effusive personality and well-timed humor only serve to make me adore him more.

While Velveteen isn’t laden with offensive material, I’d still recommend it for an older audience, at least 14+, due to some graphic violence and the budding romance between Velvet and Nick.

Velveteen is a highly enjoyable story chock full of colorful characters and enough twists and turns to keep you on your toes. I loved the way Mr. Marks envisioned Purgatory in this novel. It became just a bit more bleak and terrifying than I had ever pictured it, giving it new life. The afterlife hasn’t ever been so much fun – or so dangerous – until now.

Nearly two years after Suck It Up, all Morning McCobb wants is to complete his training at the NY Fire Academy and to stay head over heels in love with Portia for as long as the chronology-crossed lovers can, given that she’s now eighteen and he’s stalled at sixteen.

It’s nearly the first anniversary of American Out Day, the historic day on which the Leaguer vampires of America began going mainstream without going bloodstream on their fellow mortal citizens.

The tension between Morning’s wish for a simple, out of the spotlight life, and Portia’s cinematic obsession with historic events escalates to the breaking point when a super-sinister vampire rises from the grave with a powerful thirst, for revenge.

Vampires fighting for the right to become full American citizens? Utter craziness! And yet, that’s just what’s happening in New York on this first anniversary of American Out Day. Although, things never quite go as smoothly as planned, do they? Enter our hero, Morning McCobb and his band of crazy friends, ready to step up and save the day… er, night?

All Morning McCobb wants to do is graduate from the academy and become one of New York’s firefighters. But unfortunately, things are never quite that simple, are they? Especially when you’re a teenage vampire forced to be the figurehead for the Vampire League. However, Morning does a great job of not letting the fame and notoriety go to his head. His easy sense of humor and dedication to his EB – eternal beloved – Portia come together to steer his focus onto other things, the kinds of things your average teen would be focused on. Morning is probably one of the most likable vampires I’ve ever come across.

Portia’s sights are set on her art – filmmaking. Even if she manages to push her boyfriend, Morning, to the side, the show must go on or else she might fail to graduate. Because of this, she does have a tendency to put Morning second and her film du jour first. Despite that, she’s an enjoyable character and very fit to be by Morning’s side all the way. When it counts, she is there for him and has complete faith in his abilities. She brings stability to his sometimes flighty moments.

Suck It Up and Die is an entertaining and laugh out loud funny novel of vampires fighting for their rights to be part of the crowd. The author keeps you reading with plot twists I didn’t expect and a very unique take on the vampire myth, coming up with a kicker that caught me by surprise. With its cast of zany side characters and action packed plot, there’s a little of something for everyone inside its cover. So pick up your can of blood substitute and come celebrate American Out Day with Morning and his friends!

Calder White lives in the cold, clear waters of Lake Superior, the only brother in a family of murderous mermaids. To survive, Calder and his sisters prey on humans, killing them to absorb their energy. But this summer the underwater clan targets Jason Hancock out of pure revenge. They blame Hancock for their mother’s death and have been waiting a long time for him to return to his family’s homestead on the lake. Hancock has a fear of water, so to lure him in, Calder sets out to seduce Hancock’s daughter, Lily. Easy enough—especially as Calder has lots of practice using his irresistable good looks and charm on ususpecting girls. Only this time Calder screws everything up: he falls for Lily—just as Lily starts to suspect that there’s more to the monsters-in-the-lake legends than she ever imagined. And just as his sisters are losing patience with him.

Calder White is a man lost among women. Or rather, a merman surrounded by mermaids – angry, vengeful, bloodthirsty mermaids. When he’s called home early to the cold waters of Lake Superior, he’s reluctant, to say the least. But when his sisters inform him that the man responsible for their mother’s death has been found, he has no choice but to return and seek out his revenge.

I think that I’m just a little bit in love with Calder. He’s charming, he’s handsome, and he tends to put his foot in his mouth. While that last part’s not normally something a woman looks for in a potential date, it shows that he has a strong human side battling with the merman exterior. Calder’s also very adept at swallowing his true feelings to make peace with his three sisters, something that might just come in handy later in life. He’s an extremely complex character who grows and learns an awful lot about himself and his history throughout the course of the story.

Lily Hancock is every man’s dream come true. She’s beautiful, poetic, and a truly free spirit. Her easygoing nature really helps to balance out Calder’s more natural unease and restlessness. I like how different she is from other young heroines I’ve come across. Lilly has a love of the past, vintage clothing and Victorian poetry, and she has old-fashioned values, too. She’d give anything to keep her family together and whole.

Lies Beneath is an intense and fast-paced trek into the real lives of the merpeople. This decidedly dark twist on a familiar theme will make you reevaluate everything you thought you knew. The author does an amazing job of twisting reality and fantasy and making into a seamless whole. So, what are you waiting for? Come dip your toes into the water and see what you find.

Olivia Bean knows trivia. She watches Jeopardy! every night, and usually beats at least one of the contestants! If only she were better at geography, she would try out for kids’ Jeopardy! Not only could she win bundles of money, she could go out to tape it in California where her dad, who left their family two years ago and whom she misses like crazy, lives with his new family.

But one day Olivia’s friend-turned-nemesis, Tucker, offers to help Olivia bulk up her geography knowledge. Before she knows it, she’s getting help from all sorts of unexpected sources: her almost-stepdad, superannoying Neil; her genius brother, Charlie; even her stressed out mom. Soon she’s breezed through the audition rounds and is headed for the taping in Hollywood. But will the one person she wants to impress more than anything—her dad—show up to support her?

What is family? Ask Olivia at the beginning of this book and she would say her mom, Little Bother (uh, brother) and her dad, who happens to live several states over with his new family. It would NOT include Neil. No way, no how!

If only life was as structured as a game show. Olivia Bean is smart. Really smart. Could-win-at-Jeopardy!- if-she-could-just-earn-a-spot-on-their-kid’s-week-show smart. Best of all, she would make her dad proud and he would come see her, and maybe Neil would go away and maybe her little brother would be less of a Little Bother…if only.

Children think on such simple terms. If only this one big thing could happen, the rest of the world would fall into place and things would be perfect. Olivia Bean: Trivia Queen is a coming of age story for 12 year old Olivia. At a very pivotal point in her life, her world, as she has known it, is totally turned upside down. Sure her mom and dad fought, regularly, but she never imagined there would be a time that she wouldn’t get to sit down with her dad and watch their favorite show together.

I really liked how Ms. Gephart created this character. I have a ten year old daughter and it was so easy to relate to how Olivia viewed the world. I could see/hear my daughter saying some of the same things Olivia said and with just as much attitude. Watching Olivia grow and mature as the book progresses was a joy. From the beginning where her goal is to avoid her mother’s live in boyfriend, Neil, and not kill her annoying little brother to when she realizes the true definition of family.

What is family? By the end of the book it was easy to see that Olivia had faced some tough truths and learned more about what’s important in life. She has an incredible support system right under her own roof and the very same person she thought she could never talk to, much less befriend, is the one who becomes her closest ally.

This was a really fun book. It was a story within a story that highlighted the value found in family (even an unconventional one) and friends. Young readers as well as adults who simply like to keep up with what their children are reading will enjoy this book.

There exists a secret society where one’s ability to travel through time is “gifted” to members only by blood. Those who try to enter the society quickly come to realize that time is a force not to be reckoned with. Alexandra Monir’s short story exclusive ebook, Secrets of the Time Society, sheds light upon the world created in her novel Timeless and forecasts the fate that lies ahead for its protagonist, Michele Windsor. Now that Michele is gifted, there are some who will do anything to take that power away.

What could such a scary and strange dream mean? Sixteen-year-old Michele wakes up startled in her grandparents’ mansion.

Secrets of the Time Society is a bridge, a short story, interesting on its own. It adds information and tension to the novel Timeless, answering some of the questions presented there. It also prepares readers for the next novel in the series expected to be published later this year.

This tale introduces a villain, Rebecca, an antagonist to match Michele. Readers now worry a bit more for the heroine. Rebecca is devious and selfish. She’s smart and could seriously hurt Michele’s chances of happiness. Her character is clearly drawn, making it easy to visualize her and her nature.

The fantasy setting of the Time Society’s headquarters is done well. It’s remarkable and descriptive. We meet other time travelers. What’s also attention grabbing for those who have read Timeless is the revisitation to a scene from that book, but from the perspective of the new antagonist.

It’s a good little story, and the new developments set things up for the next book in the series. While I would have liked to have had a chance to see a bit more of Michele and Philip, this story was obviously meant to introduce Rebecca. Readers will just have to wait to see if they find each other across time again. Having read the first book, the second novel is greatly anticipated.

For a ten-minute or so read filled with twists, check out Secrets of the Time Society. But I recommended you first read the wonderful novel that comes before it, Timelesss, to get a full appreciation of how this all came about and where it might be going.

There’s something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori.

Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price’s attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He’s the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move.

Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce—and goes out of his way to make that very clear—she can’t let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her.

Dangerously exciting and darkly romantic, Fallen is a page turning thriller and the ultimate love story.

Lucinda Price has a history. The bad thing is, she doesn’t remember it all. After a boarding school party ends in disaster, she and her faulty memory are shipped off to Sword & Cross – a last chance school for the bottom of the barrel. Luce knows that she doesn’t belong here, that she didn’t cause the tragedy that killed her friend, but she can’t prove any of it. What’s a girl to do? Besides find a new boy to obsess over?

I found Lucinda to be a fascinating character, if a bit overzealous at times. She has a good heart and really wants to do her best so she can return home to her family and her best friend. However, her immediate attraction – and later obsession – with Daniel Grigori, sort of pushes her over the edge as a relatable character.

At first, Daniel is a bit flat as all he does is avoid Lucinda at all costs. When he finally gives in to the inevitable and begins to let Luce into his life at Sword & Cross, you begin to learn more about him and, eventually, to like him. He makes himself so unavailable at first, that I started to root for Lucinda’s heart to go to his opposition – Cam – if only because he manages to at least show some interest in her. In the end, his silent strength and eternal love for Luce won me over.

Fallen wasn’t anything like I had expected from the blurb I read and for that, I’m thankful. There’s so much more to it than a girl who’s attracted to a boy she can’t have. This novel is fat with layer upon layer of story. However, now and again, all these layers become cumbersome as they interfere with the actual telling of the story. I found myself desperate to find out a detail – any detail – about Luce’s past or just who Daniel Grigori really was so that we could move forward. So, I advise a bit of patience with Fallen. The story doesn’t move as fast as you might like in some parts, but it is worth it in the end.

Fallen is a dark and enchanting love story unlike any I’ve read before.

He’s a weird-looking guy—goth, but he seems sincere about it, like maybe he was into it back before it was cool. She introduces herself after the set, asking if he lives in Cornersville, and he replies, in his slow, quiet murmur, “Well, I don’t really live there, exactly. . . .”

When Ali and Doug start dating, Ali is falling so hard she doesn’t notice a few odd signs: he never changes clothes, his head is a funny shape, and he says practically nothing out loud.

But that resonated with me once I really got into the book because I saw how sad she really was. She wanted a place to fit in, in a sea of cliques and snobs. I liked how this book shows teens that it’s okay to be different and it’s just fine to deal with what happens in life in your own way.

Although this isn’t a standard HEA, I must admit, I found the ending to be totally worth it and more than I expected. It showed the best in the characters and how even tough situations can bring out our true colors which don’t always have to be depressing.

If you want a book that will make you think and wonder, then you need to read I Kissed a Zombie and I Liked It. I give it 4 suns.
