MAdreads Reviews for Teens
Old favorite, rediscovered
I used to love to wander through a bookstore and feed my reading need (this on top of checking many stacks of books out of the library).
Shot by Cupid's arrow
Valentina Tran's favorite day of the year is Valentine's Day. She is named after the holiday and it's no wonder that her imaginary friend is Cupid. Val and Cupid are cuddly and sweet buddies when Val is younger, planning out hand decorated cards and heartfelt messages for friends and family.
Sweet Anticipation for September 2024
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Not THE holiday season, but it’s as good as the holidays for the book lovers out there—the start of the fall publishing season.
Loyalties will be tested
June Hur's debut novel is a police procedural set in 1800 Joseon, Korea. Seol grew up in rural Korea but because of the family's poverty was sent by her sister to serve an indenture for the police bureau in Joseon.
Finding your love (hold the garlic)
My last couple reviews have been books with darker theme and tone, so I thought I should switch it up. Now, if you've seen the book cover and title, Fangs, you may be thinking, how is a book about a vampire (and a werewolf, btw) going to lighten things up?
