Book

Poison Ink (2008)

I originaly read this book when I was entering 5th grade. When I noticed it as I was browsing the shelves of my public library I was estastic, as I remembered greatly enjoying this book.

Book

Angel Souls and Devil Hearts (1998)

Absoloutely Brilliant! I was given the first book by the rep that we meet with at the store.

Book

Wildwood Road (2005)

When I see a new novel written by a guy who's mostly known for doing books based on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, X-Men, Hellboy, JLA, etc., I usually don't get too excited. Especially if I have sampled his work before and found it severely lacking (in this case, the Buffy novel "Immortal"). But St...

Book

Prowlers (2002)

Reviewed by Me for TeensReadToo.comAfter finishing PROWLERS, the first book in this series by Christopher Golden, the only question I have is why it's proclaimed to be a young adult read.
