A Review for the Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull
The Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull takes readers back to the fantasy fiction stories like the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling and The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini. This story has enough twists and turns to make a roller coaster enthusiast happy. Fablehaven is a story of a world that died centuries ago in mankind's opinion. They were wrong. The creatures of myth and legend are alive and well and hide in plain sight. Fairies, trolls, ogres and countless other creatures come back to the front of attention. A series anchored in good humor, love, action, and redemption make this one of the best series of the decade.

A Review for The Hunchback Assignments by Arthur Slade
The Hunchback Assignments by Arthur Slade is an inventive tale. Think about the hunchback of Notre Dame and 007 rolled into one. This story is filled with twists and turns and life threatening violence. A Mad Doctor and a few cybernetic enemies make this book very entertaining. What makes this story stand out is its main character, Modo. His beginnings may have been dismal but thanks to a mysterious mentor and his bodyguard His future has never looked brighter. I recommend this book to anyone looking to spice up their day with a few thrills.

A Review for Storm Front by Jim Butcher
Storm Front by Jim Butcher is the first installment in the Dresden Files series. This book is a page-turning debut. Harry Dresden, the main character, is the self-proclaimed, only professional wizard for hire in America. He doesn't make love potions, but he is good at finding things and he has a real knack for finding trouble. This exciting beginning to the series is filled with action, suspense, and thrills and even a little romance for the clueless wizard. This story is a great read for teens looking to liven up their day.

A Review for Dirty Laundry by Daniel Ehrenhaft
Dirty Laundry by Daniel Ehrenhaft is a story about a girl, a guy or two, and a few villains thrown into the mix. This book is an interesting combination of mystery, romance, and suspense. Think of a detective mystery thrown in with a classic love story with a new age twist. The characters are easy to connect with even if they are a bit shady. The plot really pulls the reader in with its characters and setting. Anyone looking for another good mystery story to add to their "books I've read list" should make sure this one makes the list.
