UnSouled (Unwind Dystology #3) by Neal Shusterman
Pgs. 404
I've put off this book for a year now because book two was not the best. This book was ok, much better than book two but a far cry from book one. I do like how the author incorporated 3D printing technologies, and yet keep the evil of unwinding. Guess this is as political of books I'll get to that aren't Dr. Seuss. Eventually book four will be read and the series ended. I've heard rumors of this becoming a movie. I won't hold my breath.
Inner Demon (The Asylum Tales 3.3) ByJocelynn Drake
Pg. 96
The finale of the series, being left at a cliff hanger and the author has no plans on revisiting this story, at least from these main characters point of view, but another's set some time from when it left off. I think that this final installment was the better of the three, and this concluding story was much better than book two altogether. More action. More twists of creatures already established in literature.

The Necromancer (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel #4) by Michael Scott
Pgs. 416
I love it when authors take mythology and twist it to fit their story lines. It makes the myths feel more real and fun to hear how they've interrupted them. This book has some big myths explored and fitted into the main story line and I've really enjoyed reading it. Pretty excited for book five to see where everything goes and what myths will come to light.
"Why are there always snakes? I hate snakes!" Sounds like the author enjoys Indiana Jones.

The Warlock (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel #5) by Michael Scott
Pgs. 380
Ah... start off the book with good ol' Good Guy vs Bad Guy pickle for a wavering main character. Then the big ol' twist at the end! Book 4 was still much better.

The Enchantress (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel #6) by Michael Scott
Pgs. 513
Still hard to wrap my brain around the fact that this 6 book series only span the time of an entire month. Book 5 covering only 2 days and this one barley 1 day for most of the book. The way things are presented it feels that so much more time has elapsed. It did feel like the author repeated a lot of unnecessary information. Also, why was basically everyone vegetarian?

The Lost Hero (The Heroes of Olympus #1) by Rick Riordan
pg. 557
I got on a mythology kick thanks to the Nicholas Flamel series, and since I can't do the Percy Jackson series since I've already watched the movies, this Heroes of Olympus series it is! Yes it's written for a younger audience, which is fine, but the no meat thing... why do so many authors feel the need to make that such a point? Are they trying to campaign for something here? *le sigh*
