Review: TATTOO ATLAS, by Tim Floreen

Tattoo Atlas was a whirlwind of emotions for me. I flew through this book, unable to pull away from the plot and characters. Tim Floreen has a knack for combining amazing storytelling, creative plot twists, and harrowing character relationships. After reading this book and Willful Machines, Floreen has easily jumped to the top of my list of favorite authors.

Stars: 5/5
Recommended for: Readers who love sci-fi thrillers that explore the complex aspects of human emotion make you think "What if?"

Review: ESCAPE FROM WITCHWOOD HOLLOW, by Jordan Elizabeth Mierek

Escape from Witchwood Hollow was an unexpected thrill ride for me. The book mainly bounces between three women during three different time periods in the same location. Jordan Elizabeth Mierek did a great job of emphasizing each character's unique qualities and placing the reader within each time period, whether historical or contemporary. The twists in the plot kept me locked into the story, eager to find out where it was headed. The only thing I didn't like about this book was the present-day character Honoria, who I found to be one-dimensional and unlikeable. Still, I enjoyed reading it and will recommend it to others.

Rating: 4/5
Recommended for: anyone who likes mysterious young adult fantasies.
