Bloodmarked (Legendborn, #2) by Tracy Deonn

Bloodmarked by Tracy Deonn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Such a great 2nd book in the Legendborn series! Bree is stressed to the max as she tries to rescue Nick, deal with Sel's changes, and fight the powers to be that want to keep secret the demon war. I could not put this book down, did not like the ending...so I NEED the 3rd book for the many questions I have--- for the many answers!!!! I hate Erebus and everyone in the Order as they seek to diminish Bree and her claim as Arthur's descendant with many powers- Medium, Bloodcrafter and Scion---but these powers do not always help her. I want Bree and her friends to be victorious in Book 3!

City of the Dead (City Spies, Book 4) by James Ponti

City of the Dead by James Ponti
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

this 4th in the City Spies Book was so awesome with the team inching ever closer to Clementine but Mother's son now becomes a part of the team (?!?), with their latest mission taking place in the City of the Dead in Egypt. I love how they work together but are still individuals with quirks, strengths, and allegiance to one another!

The Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials #3) by Philip Pullman

The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I read this series way back when I first began as a librarian, loved each book in the series! I have to say, I listened to all the books this time and loved the narration by the author, Philip Pullman, and a host of other very capable narrators!!! But as I listened to this 3rd book in the series, I was constantly weighed down by disturbing feelings about what was going to happen. Suffice it to say, I was totally annoyed with the ending, and that took my 5 star down to a 3 star. I will just leave it at a few thoughts- I hated the ending for Lyra & Will; Lord Azriel and Mrs. Coulter were awful people, blinded by their own ambitions, and also selfish and filled me with horror at what they would do (did) to achieve their own ends. I know not all books end happily...but I rooted for this book...
