Book Review: The Girl in the Clockwork Collar by Kady Cross

Wildcat turned her attention to Finley. “I know you. You’re the one that was here with the Irish witch.” “She would prefer to be called a scientist” came Finley’s drawled reply. “I’ll give her your regards.” The dark girl turned back to Jasper. “She’s almost as much a smart-arse as you. She all you brought?” […]

Strong female protagonists: we love them, we admire them, and we want more of them! Give us more Buffys and Xenas, more Katsas and Katnisses, more Trises and Tallys, and more like our beloved Keladrys of Mindelan. We want our girls to be active, fighting for their lives and the lives of their friends, to […]

Book Review: The Goddess Inheritance by Aimee Carter

February 15, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS

I struggled to take a breath. She wasn’t listening. She didn’t understand- or maybe she did, and she just didn’t care. “What about my son? He’s Henry’s too, you know. And he’s your grandson. His name’s Milo, and he’s not even a week old. Why does he deserve to be raised by Cronus?” Rhea said […]

Book Review: The Girl in the Steel Corset by Kady Cross

February 15, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS

“What have I done? she whispered. What you had to do. She felt his neck for a pulse, relief engulfing her as she found it. She hadn’t killed him.  At least she wouldn’t hang. But she had still attacked the son of a peer of the realm and there would be consequences. Three jobs in three months and they’d all ended with […]

Listen to Your Hearts

February 14, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS

Conversation hearts: that chalky sweet reminder of Valentine’s Day that lingers (in your molars) long after the chocolate has melted away. Their phrases are by turns charming and mystifying, but we love them just the same. So much so, that it’s time we do a little Reader’s Advisory love match for these desperately seeking sweets. […]

Book Review: Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter

February 14, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS

I didn’t remember falling asleep, but when I woke up, Ava was gone and Pogo snored in the indent she’d left in the pillow. Sighing, I took inventory, pleased that at least some of the pain had dulled. Even if it did still hurt to move around, I was determined to grin and bear it.  But the […]

Book Review: The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter

February 13, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS

“I didn’t agree to any tests.” I paused. “What happens if I pass?” He stared at his hands. “You will become one of us.”“Us? Dead, you mean?“No, that is not what I mean. Think – you know the myth, do you not? Who was Persephone? What was she?” Fear stabbed at me, cutting me from […]

This or That? With author Louise Rozett

February 13, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS

Confessions of an Angry Girl I get asked all the time if Rose—the main character in Confessions of an Angry Girl, and the upcoming Confessions of an Almost-Girlfriend—is actually me. I think authors who write in first person get asked that a lot, which makes sense. So today, Rose and I are going to play […]
