Wow! I almost passed this up and I am certainly glad I didn’t! I got so sucked into this story that I forgot the friend group was in a whole different world that wasn’t their own. The whole time I kept wondering why they were not more frantic to find Eliot or demand answers. That would terrify me to have my younger sibling lost. This world they are thrust into, Parsa, is so fantastical, with mages and magic, and the uniting of the north and south kingdoms. It is interesting to see how each person, Alice, Emily, Jordan and Jamie are all basically spit out through a portal into different parts of the kingdom, and are treated differently and have different experiences than the others, all the while trying to figure out a way to get back each other. Yasmin seems like a wonderful royal, she is a good friend to Alice but, it seems like her uncle, The Royal Mage, has her loyalty and has brainwashed her but, something seems off about him. Prince Darien also seems to be hiding something from everyone. I am saddened by Yasmin and Darien’s loss, by the way Javed seems to be treated and frustrated that they keep begging Alice to stay in their world with them, like why would she stay? She has a whole family and life back home. I really look forward to what comes next!

J. Evias – Review by Carrie Reed
Holland Morriss is a young woman whose family has just had to move midway through the school year so that they can care for her grandmother, so she is super nervous on her first day at school.

It turns out that he is an assistant in the front office and can help her with everything she needs, she also finds out she has a class with him, but when he invites her to have lunch with his friends, they make her feel at home straight away.
As she is mulling her first day over in her mind, she gets to her locker and finds that she can’t open it, just another embarrassment to add to her collection, however, the most perfect looking, male model type guy walks up as she is venting all her fury and helps her to open it. However, when he asks her out, she is stunned and stutters a yes, but the problem is that his friends are there as well, it’s a home movie night and although he is holding her hand, his friends make her feel uncomfortable and so she leaves early.
These two events lead to confusion and mixed emotions as she finds that the two crushes she has are not only gorgeous, but they know each other, well! Now she has to make the choice between them, but will she choose the hotter than possible, or the smart one who is only ever so slightly less hot? This is a sweet coming of age story where nothing is as complicated as first crushes and hormones collide in this comedy romance of the high school variety.

A Tale of Two Crushes is such a sweet romance. Holland is the new girl in school and meets two different guys in her first two days at her new school. Little did she know that her two crushes were twin brothers with completely opposite personalities. Holland is a huge book nerd, who loves eating healthy, natural foods, and wants to be a nurse once she finishes school, which she hopes to do on a fast track. Asher, the first twin she meets is so similar to Holland that he seems like the perfect guy until he doesn’t respond to her messages. Chandler, the guy she meets the next day is cute beyond anything she could imagine, but he seems to be very self-centered, hates books as well as vegetables, and recently broke up with his snobbish girlfriend. The twins have had a constant battle with one another since they were very young, so when they both realize they both have their sights on dating Holland, the war begins, and she’s in the middle. Which boy will Holland choose to be with, or will she choose to go with neither due to their constant battles? You’ll want to read the book to find out what’s going on with both of these boys and who Holland chooses. Happy reading my friends, this is a great young adult book for all you romance fans who are looking for a soft romance. @Brandy Rymer 10/2024

Holland Morriss has recently moved to Prescott, Arizona after her grandmother was hurt. Her parents decided that they needed to be closer, hence why she now resides there. On her first day of school she meets Asher and instantly starts crushing on him. It seems as though the feelings are mutual so they exchange numbers. However, that all comes to a screeching holt when she texts him and never hears anything back. Why is he ghosting her all of a sudden? A few days later she is having a not so quiet argument with her locker and meets his twin, Chandler. She unwittingly ends up crushing on him as well not knowing that he is her other crushes brother. As she and Chandler get to know one another things come to a head when he invites her to the lake with his family and she comes face to face with Asher who is crushed. From there things between the boys get heated. They have always had a rivalry, but Holland has never had two guys vying for her attention. At first she enjoys all the attention but realizes that it isn’t doing them any good as things slowly escalate and things turn to chaos. She takes the opportunity to sit down with the twins and figure out if she wants to be with either of them. No matter which one she chooses, they other will be hurt. Will she choose to date one of them or choose to be single for the rest of her high school career?

This is a great book for anyone going to college or that has a job. If you feel yourself getting overwhelmed or stressed with everything this gives you some great tools to navigate all of it. It wasn’t as easy to read as a regular book but it’s very useful and pragmatic.

I loved the story line and all the quirky characters in this book, I highly recommend giving it a read! It was very well written and descriptive, it made me feel like I was right along side the characters. Losing yourself in a book like you’re watching a movie doesn’t tend to happen often, but it’s totally worth it when it does. The main character moves to a new town and starts a new school. This book is her story.

This is a cute little book for kids. It discusses what somebody that’s bullying someone might actually be going through. I read this book to my 5 year old. She really enjoyed reading it with me. She was able to read quite a lot of it on her own. There’s a lesson for kids and also one for parents. I think Dagmara did an amazing job of bringing the world these characters live into life and there was definitely character development in this book.

Spook Squad by Allan Evans is an intriguing YA paranormal story that was difficult to put down until the very end. This story has a bit of everything- paranormal, thrill, adventure, friendship, mystery, humor and more. Abbey is a young teenager with a special gift that makes her far from normal. She can see and speak to spirits and supernatural beings. She has her own little ‘Spooky Gang’ of friends who support her despite her quirkiness, and work along side her on her paranormal adventures. This story is a part of a series, however, I had no issues reading this as a standalone. The writing was fantastic. The story and characters were well-written and given just enough depth that the story flowed perfectly without the feeling that it was dragging on. Overall, this was really a fun, spooky and enjoyable read! I look forward to going back and reading the other stories of Abbey as well!

This was such a cute, romantic teen story! Starting her junior year, Holland moved to Arizona from Colorado. Growing up in the same town all her life had its advantages of developing friendships like with Alicia but as far as romance, it was nonexistent. As she starts her first day, she starts taking in all the differences from her old school. She bumps into Asher, who is so kind and helpful on her first day. Extra points for him being cute! They have their own ups and downs and they test their interest in one another. Then there is Chandler, who helps her in her time of need. She starts getting to know him. Then after a family gathering, she discovers Asher and Chandler are fraternal twins. What are the chances? Now you have to read to see where her intentions will lead to. Such a clean cut, adorable teen tale!

This was an adorable book! A very relatable heroine, and two wonderful boys who come into her life. Anybody reading this will have a dream guy/gal described in it!

As a graduate student navigating the demanding landscape of academia, I approached Hillary Rettig’s *Productivity is Power* with a blend of skepticism and hope. In an age where academic pressure can feel overwhelming and the competition is relentless, I found that Rettig’s book offers a refreshing perspective on productivity tailored specifically for college students.
Rettig identifies the myriad challenges that students face today—not just the usual suspects like procrastination and perfectionism but also the pervasive distractions of social media and the weight of societal expectations. What sets this book apart is its recognition of the unique pressures faced by students in an unforgiving economy, where grades and internships are paramount for future success.
The book is structured around five liberating practices that aim to empower students to overcome their barriers and enhance their productivity. Rettig’s approach is both empathetic and practical, focusing on actionable strategies that can lead to immediate improvements in a student’s academic life.
Throughout the book, Rettig delves into common issues such as indecision, perpetual research, and the fear of submitting work. Her solutions are practical and tailored for those who often feel overwhelmed. What particularly struck me was her emphasis on coping with criticism and setbacks—a crucial skill in today’s hyper-competitive environment.
As a graduate student, I found several insights that I wish I had discovered earlier in my academic journey. I would recommend this book not only to undergraduates but also to graduate students, educators, advisors, and anyone involved in student support. With the right tools, every student can access their potential and find joy in their academic pursuits.

Shades of Watership Down! Set sometime after the year 2117, there is a new world order. Man, thanks to his ignorance to climate change, and to massive disease outbreak has been annihilated – at least within Million Acre Woods somewhere in Canada. The woods are now populated with a new world order. According to the History of the Known World, “at the end, the woods were full of animals. But the same winnowing that took the Dead Gods [Humans] took many animals too. Only six kinds of creatures are left for canids: deer, raccoon, rabbit, squirrel and moose.” War Bunny’s focus is on the survival of rabbits. In the opening chapters we are introduced to the Blood Thorn Warren, in which our protagonist, Anastasia dwells. The runt of her litter, she is inquisitive, questioning, disobedient, has a touch of OCD “is not right in the head” and is barren. Instigated by her own mother (Olympia) and father (Darius), her perceived shortcomings become a cocktail for eviction from the warren. But is that the real reason for casting her out? As her story progresses, we are introduced to a rigidly structured belief system, akin to human religious hierarchy. A system, dominated by the males of her species. In this system, “Dah” has written the rules for proper societal behavior. A rabbit must, at all times, be prepared to experience “the Giving” [surrender] and accept “Glorification” [death] to the “Blessed Ones” [Fox, Weasel, Hawk, Coyote] to enter “The Lucky Fields” where he/she will be able to romp forever. “There is no outrunning the mercy of Dah”, she is told, and yet Anastasia questions and wrestles with this and other truths she has been taught since she was a kit. Once ostracized, Anastasia establishes a “warren” of colorful characters who both help and hinder her as she wrestles with the meanings of self, sacrifice, truth and faith. There is plenty of war, love, acceptance and action within War Bunny’s pages, as one little rabbit turns the entire rabbit world as they know it, upside down. Anastasia’s story is compelling, deeply thought provoking, and had me captivated until the very end. Christopher St. John’s rich allegory is filled with nuances of politics, power, feminism and organized religion. It is book one thus far, of a trilogy that includes the books Summerday and City of Oom.

Honestly at first I thought the book was a little cringy. Now I did feel that her and Asher did have a good connection but still cringy. Do not let me saying that push you away from the book because it gets better! The characters are great; seriously the friendship was the best, Tenley was my favorite. Holland was a great main character, it was great that she could admit she enjoyed getting attention from both boys, who wouldn’t. I loved that she agreed about them acting like idiots, I was glad their “hotness” didn’t blind her in that area. And then I was so happy for her when she finally started to think about her own wants. Runway careers is such a cool idea, I wish my high school did something like this. Overall the it’s a great read for younger readers/ya readers. It’s humorous, ambitious characters and a little romance. 100 percent recommend.

A Tale of Two Crushes by Cori Cooper is a great romance book
Holland Morriss has never really met a guy she could crush on. It makes sense. She lived her whole life in the same town with the same people. It’s just really hard to have a crush on someone you’ve seen eat crayons in kindergarten. Then at the start of her junior year of high school, her family makes a sudden move to a whole different state. Holland’s new life plan is to keep her head down and graduate early so she can hightail it back to Colorado and start college with her best friend Alicia.
Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down

Cooper’s writing is fresh, witty, and filled with humor, making it impossible to put down. The story not only explores romantic dilemmas but also themes of self-discovery and friendship, with lovable characters that you root for the whole way through. A sweet, fun, and utterly charming YA romance!

Holland is new to school and is running late on her first day. Luckily she runs into Asher who is able to help her find the office and then he gives her a tour of the school. Chandler comes to her aid when she has issues with her locker. Finding out that Asher and Chandler are fraternal twins further complicates things.

This was the first book I had picked up by this author, and it was a magically pleasant surprise! It’s an exhilarating dive into a world brimming with enchantment and intrigue. My favorite character throughout the story is Alice, an archer with a fierce desire for autonomy. The pacing of the narrative is commendable! It’s fast-paced yet allows for moments of reflection that deepen Alice’s character. It picks up as Alice and her friends cross into an ancient realm full of magic and danger. The author excels at world-building, painting vivid imagery that pulls you into the experience. Every character is well-developed, each with their own motivations and secrets that add depth to the narrative. The author’s knack for expertly crafting relatable dialogue and moments of levity balances the darker elements of the plot.
This is a marvelously promising start to The Intrigue of Magic series! It captivates with its blend of relatable characters, powerful enchantments, and relentless action. Fans of YA Fantasy will undoubtedly find themselves swept away in Alice’s adventure and eagerly awaiting the next installment. If you’re ready for a journey filled with mystery and magic, this book is a must-read!

Having read a previous book by this author, I was excited to see what she had to offer specifically for college students who were struggling with their schooling and homework. I thought the author did a wonderful job in breaking down the five practices along with sharing anecdotes to make it more relatable for the students. I would recommend reading it in order, but if you are looking for a specific topic, you can definitely jump to that section. I think this would be a great book for new and veteran college students, as well as anyone else who is struggling with procrastination. The book is well organized and easy to read and follow. I look forward to checking out more books from the author.

“Spook Squad” by Allan Evans is a thrilling supernatural adventure that expertly blends ghostly encounters with high-stakes danger. Fourteen-year-old Abbey’s unique ability to communicate with the dead thrusts her and her friends into a dangerous hunt for powerful relics, guided by a mysterious federal agent. Evans crafts a fast-paced narrative filled with suspense, as Abbey and her “spook squad” navigate some of Minnesota’s most haunted locations while being pursued by a sinister force. The richly detailed world-building, combined with well-developed characters, brings both the supernatural elements and the emotional stakes to life. “Spook Squad” is a captivating read for young adult fans of paranormal mystery, offering a fresh and engaging twist on ghost stories. I will also add that this is the third book in the series, and I have not read the first two. This was an easy-to-pick-up read that was easily able to be read without reading the prior two.

War Bunny is the first book of the War Bunny Chronicles. Humans have been extinct for 300 hundred years, and animals control the world. When a young bunny starts to question the role of rabbits in the natural order of things, she is shunned by her warren. What happens when you are the prey and lose the little protection you have in life? War Bunny is a post-apocalyptic story examining the roles of ” animals ” in society. The story is a clever look at society and how those who buck against what is expected from them. This can be enjoyed by a teen audience, but with the warning that there are some deaths. I liked that the author used animals to discuss societal questions that plague the world. The themes are common and will be understood by a broad audience. I enjoyed the book and am curious about the next book in the series.

A Tale of Two Crushes had me rolling with laughter from start to finish. I really loved it, and am trying to get my teen daughter to read it too (She isn’t a reader, but I know if this was a movie/show, she would be all over it). Even describing the story to her, SHE was cracking up. I love the little details the author added to let us get to know each of the characters. Holland is just as unique as her name. She is quirky and fun, and her mom’s imposed diet is unique as well. She moves to a new city (which I love is in Arizona, because like the author, I live in Arizona) and soon starts crushing on 2 boys. Then, in the funniest (to us, awful for her) twist brings a whole new level of hilarity. Asher is such a sweet boy, and Chandler has his moments… but I was Team Asher all the way. I don’t know if the runway careers project is real or not, but I absolutely love the idea and want it to be real. Highly recommend this book. Probably one of my favorites of the year.

In a post-apocalyptic world humans have been extinct for 300 years. The animals have all begun to have more human attributes. Anastasia, a curious rabbit, begins to question her elders which results in her banishment from the Warren. Out in the wild and alone she begins to meet other outcasts and they band together in a revolution. Can rabbits and foxes coexist in peace?
An original and refreshing concept that is for the most part well executed. The concept of predator and prey is explored and how it mirrors human behavior. I found the start of book a little slow but methodical and it quickly morphed into an action packed story full of world building, drama, and some humor as well. Looking forward to the next books in the series.

This was an amazing story. I really liked the fast pace to it. The whole premise to the story was well done. It had a nice flow. The switch between times went smooth. I really liked the nice variety of characters and how they fit in. I really couldn’t put this one down. I can’t wait to see what’s coming next in book 2.

J. Evias – Review by Shelly Kittell
Loving this series. Abbey and her squad have their hands full with this one. I get little goosebumps reading this. I love this author’s writing. It’s wonderfully creative and I think it’s just right for his target audience. Deliciously spooky with wonderful teen characters. Being a GenX, I love the 80’s references. This is another winner in my book. Keep them coming.

A Tale of Twp Crushes is a fun and clean YA romance. Holland Morriss is the new kid in school who finds herself with not one but two crushes. This was a fun story to get into. I could easily relate to Holland having been the new kid several times. The characters were entertaining and the relationships were great. The story was well-written and easily drew you in. This book is great for those who love YA and remember their high school crushes/experiences.

This book was good. I didn’t realize there were two others and I wish I read them before this. I liked the main character and thought she handled her obstacles well. The overall plot kept me engaged. I did read it from the lens that it was YA which is important if you’re looking for certain things within this genre. The 80’s references were good!

This story, War Bunny, is totally a different spin for me of what I normally read and I drifted out of my comfort zone as I definitely was intrigued by both the cover and the synposis of this book. I was surprised, in a good way, that this was an enjoyable story. Predator/Prey, survival of the fittest, love and getting past fear especially when you are made to leave your family due to being different and thinking in a different way.
In a post-apocalyptic world animals rule, but there are no humans…Anastasia happen to be the one that was ousted out of her own Warren, forcing her to start new. Why should a bunny become prey and feel the need to be ok with it. When an unexpected fate happens when prey overcomes and saves them-self over a know predator, what can possibly happen next. You know Mother Warren will be displeased believing you should be prey….
War Bunny is a story of growth, courage, fight for what right to overcome, and how society may see you even if the story based on animals. I am intrigued of what is to come in this series…

This was a hefty book at over 500 pages long. It felt a little daunting before I started. The plot had me super interested though. VERY quickly after I started reading, I was hooked. I read this book much faster than I thought. I just couldn’t put it down. There is SO much in this book. So much detail, magic, drama, and the characters are wonderfully written. It is quite intense at times, but in such a good way. Despite being fantasy and including magic, it feels very real. You are transported into the characters world. What more can you ask for from a book, but to escape into it? I can’t wait to read future books in this series.

J. Evias – Review by Crystal Brehant
War Bunny by Christopher St. John is an action-packed fantasy book with animals. This book reminded me of Redwall by Brandon Jacques. The book takes on war against rabbits and foxes. The humans are also Extinct. I love how this book focuses on how nature also hurts each other and how the world can be cruel. I love how Christopher wrote the main characters and how they are portrayed. This book is great for people who love apocalypse books but also action-packed fantasy books. Warning this book also has animals that die in it so if you don’t like animals dying, I do not recommend this book. So, grab some snacks maybe a drink and enjoy this page-turner of a book if you like it there are 2 more books in the series. Stephen Rymer 10/2024
