Teen Fantasy: Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan

B About the Book: Percy Jackson must lead the battle to protect New York.

The King's Ruling: The last of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, The Last Olympian is an action packed ending to a great series. I give the book and the series an 8 out of 10.

Spoilers (Highlight to View):--->This is not the last we have heard from the Olympians, so be on the lookout for the next series.<---

Teen Fantasy: The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott

About the Book: Have you ever wondered why almost every different belief system and mythology have similiar circumstances, similiar monsters, and similiar heroes? Maybe it is because all of the legendary stories of mankind are based on, at least in part, all of the same legends. And what if those legendary heroes, monsters, and legends still lived in secret in the world today? Josh and Sophie, twins from the modern day city of San Francisco are about to find out.

The King's Ruling: A nonstop adventure from page one, the Alchemyst is the first of six books in the The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series. As the story is about a fantasy adventure taking place in present day there are moments that the reader must suspend his or her disbelief, but as a whole Michael Scott creates a great fantasy adventure that is accessible to everyone yet still grounded in historical mythology.

Spoilers:--->Even though Josh is the annoying twin I think he may turn out to be the hero of the story. I love the historical characters in this story but the gods seem to be pretty easy to kill off. <---

Teen Fantasy: The Tapestry Book 1: The Hound of Rowan by Henry H Neff.

About the Book: Max McDaniels is just an ordinary kid, sure his dad works a little too much and talks like his dead mom is still alive, but that is his dad's issue not his. Max's life has not been easy he has had to deal with the loss of his mom and bullies, but his is just a regular kid. Or he was...until his trip to the art museum where he is chased by a strange man with one eye and he finds an old tapestry that no one else can see. This puts him on a path to adventure that will change his life forever.

The King's Ruling: Part Harry Potter, part Lightning Thief, the Hound of Rowan is a fun romp through Irish mythology. The characters are interesting and Max is a wonderful hero. The plot drags a little at times and sometimes the story seems to jump, but all in all I really enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to the next one. I give it a 7 out of 10.

Spoilers (highlight to view):--->I hope that Ronan has a much larger role in the second book, he is like the second coming of Sirius Black<---

Teen Fantasy: Nightmare Academy: Monster Hunters by Dean Lorey

About the Book: Charlie Benjamin is not a normal kid. When he goes to sleep and has a nightmare, terrible things tend to happen to the people around him. Because of these disasters Charlie is forced to be an outcast, living in an underground house with his parents so that he can never be a danger to the other normal children around him. One night however Charlie's nightmares threaten the life of both him and his parents and Charlie is forced to make a decision about his future that will change is life, and perhaps the world, forever.

The King's Ruling: Part Harry Potter, part Men in Black, and part Monsters Inc. on steroids, Nightmare Academy: Monster Hunters is an exciting and vivid read that explores what really happens in your nightmares. Lorey creates an imaginative world that even the most reluctant reader can relate to. With a movie in the works and the second of what looks to be a three part series on the shelves this a an action packed franchise that I expect to hear big things from in the future. I give this book an 8 out of 10 and I can't wait for the next one.

Spoilers (Highlight to read): --->There are no spoilers for this book although I want to know who the 5th is.<---
