At lunch today I was reading Morrigan's Cross. This is the first in a three book series by Nora Roberts. Some vampires, some magic, all good things. I'm about halfway through this book and have #2 of the series in my TBR pile.

CR: The Host
I am currently reading The Host. I'm about halfway through and am enjoying it so far. I really liked her Twilight series so I wanted to read this book.
Review of The Underneath (YA)
The Underneath (YA)
This book tells the story of a hound, a calico cat and her two kittens. There is a parallel story of an almost Native American nature as well. I enjoyed the part with the hound and the cats but didn't really follow the parallel story much. There was some animal abuse parts that bothered me and I could see being disturbing for younger readers.
I rated this book a 3.5/5.

JF: The Streams of Babel (YA) (5/5)
A YA book about a bioterrorist attack on a water supply. 3 young adults are affected by it and 2 adults die from it. In this book, young people take an active role in fighting back against the terrorist. Gripping--keeps you reading.

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.

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)
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.
