Read about the places our patrons have traveled to on the page, including the underworld and the ocean. 

The Library of the Unwritten by A.J. Hackwith

Although this book had a slow start with a little confusion of where it was going, it soon became a book that was hard to put down. In fact, I almost feel as if that fogginess at the beginning was just a way to put me in the right state of mind-between stories and realms. Every time I thought I knew where the book was going to take me, the characters had a different idea and took me down another path. Hackwith keeps the reader guessing until the very end, fleshing out each character with each new revelation. I look forward to the next book in the series.  ~Colleen J. 

The Siren by Kiera Cass 

The siren was a good book. Nice twist on the legend of sirens. I love Kiera Cass! 

~ Jasmine A. 

The Stepsister's Tale by Tracy Barrett

A retelling of Cinderella focused on the stepsisters and the simple pleasures and joys of life. ~ Eun Sol L. 

Dearest Ivie by J.R. Ward 

A short but sweet story set in the world of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Recommended for those who are interested in trying the series and want a preview of Ward's writing style and the vampire world she created.  ~Tara J.
