Die for Me
(Revenants Series #1)
by Amy Plum
Publication Date: May 2011
Young Adult Fiction, Paranormal Romance
Print: 352 pages
Verdict
Mesmerizing, romantic story set in Paris. Good use of vocabulary for the intended age group. I was a bit disappointed in the ending; I know it is a series, but the ending was sort of blunt. Overall, a terrific read! Amy Plum is a wonderful storyteller and I can't wait for Until I Die (Revenants #2). Keep up the good work, Amy!
Good Reading!

Meridian (Fenestra Series #1)

Young Adult Fiction
Pages in Print: 320
NOOK Book pages: 216

It was a little dark for my taste in the beginning, but soon becomes a story of good vs evil with the main characters on the side of good, of course. Ms. Kizer is a wonderful storyteller and it comes through beautifully in this book. The storyline was unpredictable and kept me guessing what would happen - which I loved. Another point to make is that while there is a love interest, book 1, at least, does not develop an overly romantic theme. The only advice I would have for Ms. Kizer, is to get a better editor, because the writing seems choppy at times due to poor sentence structure and the vocabulary should be at a higher level for the age group it is targeting. Overall, however, Meridian is a fantastic read for fans of the Young Adult genre.
Good Reading!
