She makes a deal with Feradach and Cailleach that she will change her entire family in a year. Merida decides to accomplish this by going on three trips with various members of her family.

Stiefvater did a good job bringing this animated royal family to life and keeping them true to the Disney film. She gave the triplets more depth in their character than shown in the movie. Full of adventure, this was a fun novel to read. Those who loved the movie when they were kids, will enjoy this book.

After solving the kidnapping and murder cold case at her school, Stevie Bell is invited to Camp Sunny Pines in Barlow Corners, Massachusetts, by an eccentric box executive who had just purchased it. He wants her to solve the infamous unsolved Box in the Woods case from 1978 where four campers were murdered when the camp was Camp Wonder Falls. She brings along her friends Janelle and Nate. While investigating, another person falls victim. Will Stevie be next? This is a fun adventurous mystery in the woods in a small town full of secrets. I did like the characters, especially Nate with his witty comments. Those who enjoy mysteries and the rest of the Truly Devious novels will want to read this novel. Selina Kyle is a thug fighting for money to care for her sick sister. When she is arrested, she is given the opportunity to go to Italy instead of jail. Two years later she comes back to Gotham City as Holly Vanderhees. She teams up with Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy and they create havoc robbing rich people at charity galas, exhibit openings, and more. Meanwhile, Luke Fox (a.k.a. Batwing) is trying to end Catwoman's crime spree while Batman is away on a vital mission. He is also attracted to Holly Vanderhees who had moved in the penthouse apartment next door to him. This is the third book in the DC Icons series. Sarah J. Maas gives Catwoman a fresh new perspective and personality. I found her character very interesting. Fan of superheroes and DC comics will love this novel. |
