Mirrorscape by Milk Wilks Mirrorscape is probably one of the most creative, imaginative YA fantasy books that I have read in a while, but that’s not to say it’s without it’s problems. The biggest draw of Mirrorscape is the imagination and creative environment that has been developed. There was so much imagination involved in developing

Horns by Joe Hill Horns is a devilishly funny read that’ll make you question the very nature of good and evil. Horns is even perhaps the best Horror novel I’ve ever read, which I finished in three sittings and nearly didn’t go to a friend’s party just to get further. Yeah, it’s that good. Now,
