Patron Book Reviews by Angie

Angie's Reviews

Best Friends Forever by Jennifer Weiner    
This was a good book. A little Thema & Louise mixed with a girl getting revenge on a boy and best friend adventures.

Sisterland by Curtis Sittenfeld    
Kate & Vi are twins that share psychic powers. Kate suppresses hers and Vi openly shares her predictions. Vi predicts an earthquake, yet Kate’s world is the one upended. I liked this book.


The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith    
Mma inherits enough money to open up a detective agency. This is the first book of a series of all her detective work. I was not inspired to read the rest of the series.

Four by Veronica Roth    
I loved the Divergent series and wanted to read Four’s perspective of Dauntless and of Tris. It was a very easy read and made me want to watch the movie again.

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell    
I loved this book. Two twins go off the college to become their own person, but soon realize they need each other. First love, heartbreak, friendship, and college life.

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys    
This is a historical fiction of the Soviet invasion of Lithuania and what the deportees went through in order to survive the labor camps. The deportees went through so much horror to survive

Kim's Reviews:

The Crimson Crown (Seven Realms Bk #4) by Cinda Williams Chima
It was a riveting story. Being the fourth of the Seven Realms series, it ended it beautifully. Very worth the read.

Grim edited by Christine Johnson (Contains stories by many popular YA authors)
Excellent collection of short stories. Good variety of humor and literary works.

Catching Fire (Hunger Games Bk #2) by Suzanne Collins 
Well written. Very gripping story. Wish I had read before I saw the movie.


The Mockingjay (Hunger Games Bk #3) by Suzanne Collins 
It seemed as though the writer had lost the desire or was pushed to finish the story. It was very disjointed and difficult to read.

Lorrie's Reviews:

Illusions (Wings bk #3) by Aprilynne Pike
Super great – book 3 in a series and left me hanging…but an exciting fantasy series.

Destined (Wings bk #4) by Aprilynne Pike 
Exciting conclusion to the “Wings” series. Good books – lots of action and suspense. 

Think Like a Freak by Steven D. Levitt 
How to think outside the box to creatively solve problems and have enlightening inspirations. 

Under the Never Sky (bk #1) by Veronica Rossi  #1 of a series. Very action packed. Looking forward to the next 2 books. 

Through the Ever Night (Under the Never Sky #2) by Veronica Rossi 
#2 of the series – The plot thickens and lots of excitement and surprises. I can’t wait to read book 3.

The Mermaid’s Mirror by L.K. Madigan 
A teenage girl finds out she is half human and half mermaid. The book tells how she finds out where she belongs. A great read!
