One Quarter Villain by Cori Cooper – Review by Kerry Carr

One Quarter Villain by Cori Cooper
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really good YA fantasy adventure. I have read books by this author before and I have loved them all. This was such a good read that I couldn’t put it down.
The author has a great skill for world building and writing characters that you can’t help but be invested in.

When Maddy gets a DNA test kit of her gran for her birthday she isnt impressed but decides to do it anyway. Little does she realise the results will alter her life forever.
Turns out Maddie is one quarter villian. What does that even mean?
With her friend Leo they try to figure out what it means. When they both take the test to find out how bad they are Leo doesn’t take it seriously which then causes him the he taken to another world.
When Leo disappears Maddie has to face challenges and obstacles to try and save Leo but these challenges have her starting to question just how much of a villain she does have inside her.
Is Maddie really a villain? Can she save Leo?
This is an interesting look at good Vs evil and whether we are born that way or our choices in life make us that way.
With the fantasy/fairytale elements added in it makes the story and references easier to understand for younger audiences as well as older ones.
