This review is also posted on my blog, In The Good Books. Stay follows Clara, who details the story of why she came to the seaside interwoven with her story that begun there. She and her father are leaving for the summer to escape Clara's emotionally abusive and obsessive ex-boyfriend, and realise that the past will follow them, but that doesn't mean they can't create a new future. Clara's recount of her relationship with Christian originally made their relationship feel normal, but in hindsight, she pointed out problems she didn't see at the time. Christian's obsessive behaviour worsened gradually, and Clara thinking she was always in the wrong, waiting for it to get better, was a realistic reaction. Their relationship felt so true to abusive ones in real life that I could almost believe the book to be non-fiction. Deb Caletti's writing style is beautiful and has a poetic flow to it. Her prose is captivating and her characters' voice shines through. Also, including a present parental figure like Clara's dad added an interesting dynamic. Is anyone else sick of protagonist's with absentee parents/are orphaned? The book took me on an emotional roller coaster. I was completely enthralled like I didn't expect I would be about a book with a premise so new to me. The ending didn't bring complete closure, but it got as close I expect a situation like Clara's would get to being settled in real life. The ending had a hopeful tone, and I felt genuinely pleased for Clara and her father. Stay is the first book by Deb Caletti I've read, and it definitely will not be the last. Look out for it after the 5th of April, 2011. I give it a 5 out of 5.

Tim Waggoner has expanded upon a previously released novella, Necropolis, to take readers on a wild ride with a zombie private eye name Matt Richter. Richter lives in a shadowy realm known as Nekropolis that is made up of various beings such as vampires, lykes, demons, etc... Richter meets up with Devona, a half-vampire, who is distraught about losing a special artifact of her father's called the Dawnstone. Richter offers to help her retrieve said artifact. Of course, that's easier said than done, and Matt and Devona run into all sorts of trouble along the way! Nekropolis is an urban fantasy that also weighs heavily on the mystery angle. Waggoner did a wonderful job with this story and I'm thrilled to hear that there will be two follow-up novels. Waggoner’s writing is very descriptive. While reading I was able to picture all of the various beings included in the story and see them battling it out. Nekropolis would be a great addition to any library. Fans of the paranormal will also enjoy Nekropolis, as it crosses several genres. Recommended. Contains: Mild Violence, Drug Usage, Profanity (Review also posted on MonsterLibrarian.Com)

I think I was given this by a friend as a graduation present. I enjoyed the story while reading it, but now when I think back on it I don't have any inspirational memories. Now I sort of group it with books like Go Ask Alice, Cut, and the movie Girl Interrupted.

The idea behind the story was a great one. However, the author had difficulty delivering. I felt like I was being dragged in several different directions all at once. The story telling was not clear and concise. I was often left confused and wondering what exactly was happening in this story. I really struggled with finishing this book. I hate to stop reading a book just in case it might start to get better. Unfortunately, this one did not. In fact, I had to read the book description a few times for the first part of the story. The main character of the story isn’t introduced until part way through the book. And for most of the time during that initial time of “getting to know" him”, he was known as flaco. To the point that I had even forgotten what his real name was until it was mentioned again later on. The chapters were much too long. In the first chapter alone, Antares was married twice and had 3 children. The author kept jumping around in his story telling as well. He starts off by talking about one thing and then in the middle of them hunting, he jumps to another tale. It’s almost as if these should be remembrances of some of the characters, but they aren’t really written as such. This is definitely a book that you should just continue walking past.

Chabon is charming as always. I can't recommend his stuff enough; his simple yet elegant writing is a joy to read. This gem of a mystery with a past-his-prime Sherlock Holmes is perfect when you have a few hours to kill. You know, like when you're sitting in the waiting room at the doctor's office.
Congratulations on the HUGO award!
