JF: The Third Lucretia (YA) 4/5

JF: The Third Lucretia (YA book) (4/5)

Two girls are trying to solve a mystery involving forged artwork. Good art history and travel in this book. Sometimes felt a little young (main characters were in 9th grade but sometimes they seemed younger). Decent read.

JF: Halfway to the Grave (5/5)

JF: Halfway to the Grave (5/5)

The first in a paranormal mystery/romance series. The main character is a half human, half vampire who is a vampire slayer. Good action, good romance and good characters. Great read!

JF: Tears of the Tiger (YA) (5/5)

Andy was the driver in a car accident in which his friend was killed. Andy tries to deal with the guilt that he feels about the accident. This was a powerful book, told in alternating narration chapters, that I think young adult readers will really like. This was good, realistic fiction for both boys and girls.
