A Book Review for The Hollow: Horseman and Drowned by Christopher Golden and Ford Lytle Gilmore
The books Horseman and Drowned by Christopher Golden and Ford Lytle Gilmore are part of The Hollow series. These books are a new twist on an old classic. This series is a new telling of the Sleepy Hollow legend created by Washington Irving. An explosive beginning sets the mood for the story. The characters are new and interesting additions, while some characters sound awfully familiar. Enemies from the past and new denizens of evil make an appearance. This series is definitely worth reading. I give this book 5 decapitated horsemen out of 5.

A Review for Fire by Kristin Cashore
Fire by Kristin Cashore is a companion atory to her novel Graceling. This book is a great addition to the world in Graceling. The author uses details and certain features from the first novel to create a different but similar parallel world. This rich new world adds a new cast of characters and new twists on the world. This story is filled with danger, suspense, a mysterious boy with eyes of two different colors and a little romance in the mix. This novel is a great read for teens everywhere.

Review for The Demonata series by Darren Shan
The Demonata series by Darren Shan is a horrifying and gruesome masterpiece. This series is filled with plenty of gut churning injuries and enough action scenes and violence to placate even the most sadistic of readers. This series is filled with plot twists, strong characters, and great imagery. These are just a few things that make this series addictive. Once you start reading you will want to read until your done with the last. This series is worth reading for any fan of horror movies or action fans. Not to be overshadowed, this story also has some teenage angst and romance mixed in. Is this series worth reading? In the spirit of Halloween I give this series two severed thumbs up.

A Review for The Mortal Instruments trilogy by Cassandra Clare
The Mortal Instruments trilogy by Cassandra Clare is an award winning series in the fantasy genre. The three books City of Bones, City of Ashes, and the City of Glass are all worth reading. City of Bones, the first book in the series is a South Carolina Young Adult Book Award (SCYABA) nominee. This series is filled with action and romance and well timed humor to keep the pages turning. This story is home to several very interesting characters that will draw the readers attention with their witty conversations and dynamic personalities. By the time you finish the third book you'll wish there were more. This series has been praised by authors and teenagers from all over. I highly recommend this series to everyone.

Review for I Heart You, You Haunt Me by Lisa Schroeder
I Heart you, you Haunt Me by Lisa Schroeder is written in an interesting and fun way. The classical story about a girl that finds a boy, a girl that loses a boy, and the twist of the boy that comes back. This may sound like the every day love story but it isn't. This story is a new twist on an old classic. The poetic styles throughout the book are refreshing and new for the everyday novel reader. This story will leave you with a smile. I recommend this to all the teenage guys and gals.
