New Young Adult Reviewer

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

Fangtastic Fiction started with the primary focus being on Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy books – ADULT paranormal romance and urban fantasy books. But one thing that Twilight has taught us, is that there are a wide number of Teen Paranormal books that cross genres and age boundaries like never before.

But not all good books cross that age barrier and this has been one of the problems we have encountered reviewing Teen Paranormal books. Several of the books that have received less than favourable reviews from Fangtastic Fiction reviewers have been because they didn’t make the leap from a Young Adult book to an Adult paranormal or fantasy novel.

So with that in mind, Fangtastic Fiction is delighted to be able to bring into our small group of reviewers Kaylee who will be solely reviewing YA books, from the Teen perspective!

We are hoping that this will give our readers and our customers a more balanced review of a title. So if you’re after a good teen paranormal, keep your eye our for books reviewed by Kaylee.

Her first book reviewed is Fallen by Lauren Kate so you can read the full review on the book page: Fallen by Lauren Kate

Promo for Hush Hush

Becca Fitzpatrick’s Hush, Hush received huge press around the world in the lead up to the book release, all because of that fantastic cover. Well, I’m pleased to announce that the pages between the cover are just as good. I’ve got the review up (under the Hush, Hush book page in the shop), and will work on getting the author page up shortly. BUT more news, there is going to be a sequel coming out end of 2010 called “Crescendo”. Hush,Hush just had a perfect ending, so I can’t imagine how she’s going to pull this one off, I’m dubious, a little intrigued and *sigh* I’m just going to have to wait until next year to find out if this wonderful debut author has managed to do it.

Hot off the press – Hush, Hush is already into it’s THIRD reprint! Buy it – you know you want it!

I did get a chance to read “Strange Angels” by Lili St. Crow – this was released in June 2009 as part one of her new “Strange Angels” Teen Urban Fantasy series. Very cool. The book review is up (under the book description in the shop), and am very much looking forward to reading part two “Betrayals” which was released in Australia in October.
