Nic E., 13Infested is about a boy named Manny who is told that he and his family are moving out of state. When they arrive at their new home, Manny and his dad have a lot of work to do. After they find the roaches, everything is different. This is an overall good book, though the cussing is a little extreme. Yet it is unfortunately accurate with how people are. The plot is exciting and intense. I would recommend this book to anyone who can hold their stomach and/or is older than thirteen. The reason why is because there is a lot of cussing, so it could possibly be considered inappropriate. REFERENCES

Nic E., 13Bite Risk is an amazing horror about a thirteen-year-old boy named Ansel who lives in a world where werewolves are widely known and feared. Everything is normal as can be in Everglade until Ansel’s mother breaks free of her cage, after that everything is different. A fascinating book that is impossible to put down and will have you on the edge of your seat. I would recommend the book to anyone who likes horror with werewolves. REFERENCES

Loren F., 184/5 Stars Synopsis: In Ilvernath, seven major families battle for dominance over powerful high magick, with each one more brutal and cunning than the next. Every twenty years, during the Blood Moon, each family sets forth a champion to compete in a tournament to the death. But this time around -- the champions of this year's tournament are done playing by the same old rules. As they build alliances and face painful betrayals; the truth behind the cursed Blood Veil and its tournament begins to unravel...and it is twisted and darker than you could imagine. The Hunger Games + dark magic + incredible storytelling? Sign me up! This book had it all, a truly unique magic system, extremely well-written characters with depth and fascinating backstories, and a fast-paced writing style that kept me engaged the whole way through. Each chapter was told from the different POV of each main character (all while staying in the third person narrative) which really allowed us to see into the minds and hearts of each character and learn more about their struggles, fears, and desires. I also really enjoyed how the authors' writing styles seemed to blend together seamlessly, all while telling a compelling and creative story. Merciless, dark, and intriguing; "All Of Us Villains" is the perfect blend of suspense, excitement, and mystery that will leave you yearning for more. With shocking twists and a ton of "OMG" moments, I can definitely say this is one of my favorite reads of the year, and will surely be a huge hit when it is officially released. I can't wait for the sequel, as this book definitely ends on a bit of a cliffhanger! --- For more book reviews from Loren, checkout her Instagram: @reading.with.frances! REFERENCES

Hannah H., 16A Peculiar Peril, by Jeff VanderMeer, fills the readers’ head with an oddly wonderful tale full of heroics and friendship. When Jonathan Lambshead first steps onto the eerie estate that he has inherited from his late grandfather, this young man suspects that something unusual is afoot. Abnormal and mysterious, the strange house hides more than just oddities. A hidden world known as the Aurora has been unlocked for Jonathan and his friends through this mansion, and what adventures and evils will they unearth? From talking vegetables and animals to incomprehensible threats, this novel is truly a page-turner and, at times, rather frightening. Incredibly lengthy--yet satisfying, VanderMeer’s two-part work provides an excellent story line, but some chapters definitely don’t add much to the overall arch of the book. Overall, this tale was a horrifying treat to read, and I would recommend it to any teen with a taste for fantasy, science-fiction, or horror stories. REFERENCES
