Soundless by Richelle Mead

In a silent world, people have to sign to communicate.  Fae wakes up to sound one day and that sets her on a journey.    The story is fine for high school libraries.  I just thought the story was rather slow and had some hiccups in the story line.

Dead Reckoning by Mercedes Lackey, Rosemary Edghill and Jane Hodson

I liked this story.  I hope the author's write another story.  The characters are entertaining and each character has a rich backstory.  This story is fine for any high school library.  I haven't seen the Walking Dead series but if you like an entertaining zombie story set as a western, then enjoy.

Charmed Life by Diana Wynne Jones

I'm a fan of Diana Wynne Jones, this story is a new series to me.  I like the dynamics of the temper tantrum Gwen and innocent younger brother Cat.  Find out why he's nicknamed Cat.  It's a good story and fine for any school or private library.  Enjoy.

Blood Rose Rebellion by Rosalyn Eves

Pretty intense story with lots of political power and fighting for the power with the use of magic.  It's fine for any high school library.

Unearthly: Hallowed by Cynthia Hand

The story continues.  Filled with adventure, romance and a bit of survival in the war of angels.  It's not easy being a teen but to have unusual background makes it that much more interesting.  It's a fine story for high school and will add to my high school.  Enjoy.  Oh and audio book also very good.

Unearthly by Cynthia Hand

I thought oh, pretty girl in pretty dress on cover.  I was happily surprised that I enjoyed this book.  I listened to the audiobook and thought it worked well.  Yes I would buy this book for the high school library.  It has a good sense of balance and drama.  Dusted with a bit of romance and it's a good read. Enjoy.

Alex & Eliza: A Love Story by Melissa De La Cruz

True story of history put in a young adult book.  A must for any high school library especially now that the musical Hamilton is out.  The audio book also very good.  Enjoy.  lots of tension in this story.

The Whole Thing Together by Ann Brashares

This is a book that is set in contemporary time and is about family dysfunction and how it can get out of control.  It's also a book about sisters and brothers.  It's a great read and I would get for the library. Enjoy.  Also audio book is very good.

The Book Jumper by Mechthild Glaser

This is translated from German.  It is brilliant and well written.  Fantasy at it's best for any reader to enjoy.  Meet the characters from famous children's books and enjoy.  Find out who the dangerous people are.  It's magical.  Enjoy.  Audio book also very good.

How to Hang a Witch: Haunting the Deep by Adriana Mather

This story works.  What's interesting is that the story really comes from the author's family story.  She actually had a relative that survived the Titanic sinking.  With family stories and journals and letters, she creates a fictional account that is part historic and part fantasy.  Enjoy.  I'll get for my high school library.

How to Hang a Witch by Adriana Mather

I didn't know that I would like this series.  It's good.  And I ended up reading the second book.  Actually I listened to the audio books.  What's interesting is Adriana Mather, the author is actually a relative of Cotton Mather.  Many generations later but she created a story.  It's pretty cool.  I'll probably get this for my high school library.  Enjoy.

Three Dark Crowns: One Dark Throne by Kendare Blake

Seriously if you are a fan of Game of Thrones this is a series that will appeal to teens who are into the  show.  It's pretty intense.  Enjoy.

If There’s No Tomorrow by Jennifer L. Armentrout

When at first I started reading I thought where is this going and why should I care about these characters.  But I stuck with it and will now buy this for my high school library.  I think every teen should read this.  It's solid.  An important read.

Small Medium at Large by Joanne Levy

It's a sweet story and fine for upper elementary and middle school libraries.  Enjoy

It's a good story for middle and high school.  Enjoy the series.

There’s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins

This is one teen horror book. A serial killer is on the lose.  Would I buy it for my school?  Probably not. The story had some good points but overall I would skip it.

Jane, Unlimited by Kristin Cashore

This is one very interesting story.  I love and adore Kristin Cashore.  Met her at CSLA 2017 and heard her speak.  This story is very different.  Let's just say if you are a Doctor Who fan, you will get this book.  I liked the book but I'm thinking it's not for every read.  There are alternative endings to this story.  Enjoy.

A Million Junes by Emily Henry

This is a great story.  A little bit of paranomral and a bit of love story for teens.  Fine for any high school library.  I have in my high school library.  Enjoy.

The Alice Network by Kate Quinn

This is an intense story.  The audio book is also good.  There was a real spy network of women fighting the fight.  This historical fiction works well, very believable and the page turner.  It should be in high schools so students and adults understand the sacrifices that were made.  I would say for older mature readers some of the women are tortured and also forced to have sex.  Again this is a good book.  It's historical drama at it's best.  It's a good read.

The Land of Stories: Trollbella Throws a Party by Chris Colfer

Just as charming as all the other books.  It's a short story, fine for any elementary library.  Audio book also charming.  Enjoy.  Great illustrations as well.

Agatha Raisin: The Witches’ Tree By M. C. Beaton

Agatha Raisin is a fun read.  or listen too.  Go to Britain and visit the small town and meet the characters that are friends of Agatha Raisin.  Enjoy.

Great book and the audiobook is a great listen.  Looking for improvement and also understanding of habits.  I would listen to this book again.

The Diviners: Before the Devil Breaks You by Libba Bray

Oh must get for my high school library.  This is one intense book and Libba Bray is not afraid to make you scared.  The audio book is well done.  Ghosts, lies, government cover up and murder is just the beginning of this story.  Wait till you get to the end!  I'm looking forward to book 4.  Enjoy.

Sarah Booth Delaney: Rock-a-Bye Bones by Carolyn Haines

I do love a good murder mystery and I'm hooked on this series.  It's funny, dangerous, sexy and sleuthing.  Enjoy a good southern story.

Ruined: Avenged by Amy Tintera

The story continues and the intensity just builds.  Fine for any high school library.  The audiobook also good.  Enjoy.
