City on Fire

Staff Pick Badge
City on Fire By Garth Risk Hallberg Cover Image
$20.00
ISBN: 9780804172950
Availability: IN WAREHOUSE - Usually Ships in 3-7 Business Days
Published: Vintage - July 26th, 2016

City on Fire is an excellent read that is compelling yet, very easy. Hallberg's choice of words are poignant and each has its own purpose. He paints an incredibly vivid world and makes extremely relatable, yet diverse characters. While every page is a new discovery of these complex and rich characters, Hallberg manages to also make a statement on humanity as a whole. It is both an enthralling and enriching piece of literature. ~ Reviewed by Misha D'Andrea


Vanishing Games

Staff Pick Badge
Vanishing Games: A Novel (Jack White Novels #2) By Roger Hobbs Cover Image
$16.00
ISBN: 9780804170949
Availability: Special Order
Published: Vintage Crime/Black Lizard - June 28th, 2016

Fast-paced and at times extremely gritty (who knew piano wire was the best way to behead someone?) The Vanishing Games was an exciting read from start to finish. Nothing was overly glamorous which was really refreshing and enjoyable in the mystery genre. ~ Reviewed by Misha D'Andrea


Did You Ever Have a Family

Did You Ever Have a Family By Bill Clegg Cover Image
$16.99
ISBN: 9781476798189
Availability: IN WAREHOUSE - Usually Ships in 3-7 Business Days
Published: Gallery/Scout Press - May 17th, 2016

Beautiful and heartbreaking, I could not put this book down. The word family means something a little different to each of us, whether it be love, pain, joy, loss, togetherness, a heartaching loneliness, or I'm sure many combinations thereof. The story begs the question: what would you do if everyone you loved died? This book moved me in a way that I haven't felt for a long time and while it may not have the happiest of story lines, I highly recommend it! ~ Reviewed by Misha D'Andrea


Pretty Girls

Staff Pick Badge
Pretty Girls By Karin Slaughter Cover Image
$9.99
ISBN: 9780062429070
Availability: IN WAREHOUSE - Usually Ships in 3-7 Business Days
Published: William Morrow Paperbacks - April 26th, 2016

If the TV shows Criminal Minds and Law and Order: SVU had a lovechild in book form it would be Pretty Girls. It seemed like there was a new twist every chapter and from start to finish keeps the reader thoroughly engaged. My only warning: not for the faint of heart; there are some things you cannot unread. ~ Reviewed by Misha D'Andrea


Uprooted

Staff Pick Badge
Uprooted: A Novel By Naomi Novik Cover Image
$18.00
ISBN: 9780804179058
Availability: Click Title for IN STORE Location
Published: Del Rey - March 1st, 2016

An absolutely fantastic book, I was hooked from beginning to end (which resulted in me reading it in one sitting). This is not your traditional "dragon takes damsel" story, but instead Uprooted is a captivating tale coated in myth and fairy tale lore while creating something unique. The characters are colorful and layered and the writing flows so well you forget that you are not there in Navik's world. A must, must read!! ~ Reviewed by Misha D'Andrea
