Professional athlete of the future turns superhero

December 30, 2014 by teresaelectro 3 Comments

This is my last review of the year (and the day)! By some miracle of will power, I met my half-cannonball goal despite only starting reviews last month. Must do better next year, for realz. My final post is for Mara, a YA graphic novel set in the future where professional sports is an even bigger business.

Alas, a killer has to prey on her obsession with the classified section and leave a bunch of clues, then a bunch of bodies, that all point to Nearly as suspect number one. It’s not too bad, especially considering that there aren’t many mystery/thrillers in Teen books these days. You […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
