    Genre: Adventure

    I really enjoyed The Hunt, the first book in this series in which Gene and his small group of humans manage to escape the pursuit of the terrifying vampires. It was gripping, fast paced and full of vampire action - real vampires, not the soppy sort everyone falls in love with. So I was looking fo...

    Allies & Assassins

    Name: Elizabeth Bentley

    Genre: Adventure

    After what felt like a slow start, I really enjoyed this book. It covers a very short period, just 6 days, then another a week later, but charts the growth in a boy/young man of 16 as he goes from being the named heir to his brother the Prince, to having to take over as Prince and ruler. Feelin...

    Genre: Adventure

    I put this book in my special reading box for the children when they have the time to do some independent reading in my Year 3 class. I found that the boys were very against picking up a book that was so 'pink' and 'girly', however the young girls in my class enjoyed following the adventures of E...

    I thought that the beginning wasn't as good as the end. If it hadn't of been the class reader and I had just picked it up and read it on my own after about 10 pages I would of put it back down. If it hadn't of been for the ending it wouldn't have got the 2 stars I gave it. At the end, surprise...
