Waterfire Saga, Book One: Deep Blue
by Jennifer Donnelly

Serafina, a mermaid and principessa of the underwater kingdom of Miromara, has a coming of age ceremony to complete before her betrothal to Prince Mahdi. The ceremony was interrupted by an assassin's arrow piercing Queen Isabella of Miromara side and killing her father. With her friend and fellow principessa Meela, Sera escapes Miromara's capital which has been burned and pillaged. Now, she must find out who is behind the attack on her kingdom and, with the help of 5 other mermaids, try to prevent the rise of an evil power and the destruction of the mermaids nations world. This was a great start to the series. The characters are interesting and the magic system, which is controlled by their voices, is really neat. The plot was fast paced, exciting and created in me an urge to immediately look for book 2, which is Rogue Wave, immediately. I am looking forward to continuing the series! My daughter will love this series when she is older! Highly reccomend to middle school aged fantasy readers.

In A Dark, Dark Wood
by Ruth Ware

Nora has been invited to a hen party for her old friend Claire. She has no idea why she received an invite to the hen party but no invite to her wedding. She accepts the invite to the Glass House for a long weekend. Leonorra is joined by Flo, Claire's new BFF, Nina a doctor and old mate from school, Tom a friend of the bride to be and Claire's husband to be and Melanie a new mother. All of them seem a little confused about their invitation to this out of the way place for a hen party, especially Nora. They soon find out that this hen weekend isn't what they thought it would be and neither are the attendees. Their lack of cell service, the downed landline and the locations isolation has everyone on edge. It doesn't take long for tensions to rise, secrets to be revealed and the attendees to be on a crash course with disaster. The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware was better than this book but I still liked this story. I was fairly certain about "who done it," but it was still a tense but satisfying ending. I would reccomend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery. There is some language and defintely not excessive gore or violence.
