Hunger and Lies

Michael Grant

Egmont 2010

I read Gone earlier this year and absolutely loved it. I initially wasn't going to review this series but have decided to do a mini review post on all three titles as it really is excellent.  

Angel
L.A. Weatherly
Usborne 2010
There are a lot of angel stories out there at the moment but the premise of this one seems to turn the usual mythology completely on its head.  Really looking forward to seeing how this new take on celestial beings pans out.

Entangled
Cat Clarke
Quercus 2010
I have been reading some really fantastic things about this title and was really pleased to receive (a lovely pink) copy through the post.  The starting point of a girl waking up in a white room with no idea where she is is quite sinister and a great way to begin what looks like a very intriguing book.

Finding Sky
Joss Stirling
OUP 2010
I totally picked this up because I loved the cover - so pretty!  However, the story also looks pretty good and I like that it's a paranormal title by a British author... not something you see too often.

Perfect Chemistry
Simone Elkeles
Walker 2008
I may possibly be the last person left who has not read this. I've been meaning to get to it for ages and jumped at the chance to have a look at it when it came up on UK Book Tours (who also arranged for the copy of Angel).  I have only heard good things about this but know very little about the actual story so am excited about finally sitting down to read it.

The Haunted
Jessica Verday
Simon and Schuster Children's 2010
I read The Hollow before I started blogging and enjoyed the very original premise. I also liked the protagonist but was less sure about the, quite frankly a bit creepy, Caspian.  Curious to see where this sequel takes us.




So that's me for this week.  I'm currently completely immersed in Jennifer Donnelly's Revolution - one of the best books that I have read this year - but looking forward to getting started on this lot pretty soon.  Have a great week!
