Whisper by Alyson Noel

 Genre: Middle Grade

Whisper is book #4 in the Riley Bloom series by author Alyson Noel. If you haven't read any books by this author, I highly recommend it. She has an intriguing voice and knows how to deliver a great story!

In Whisper, expect an alluring setting based in Italy. Although I have enjoyed reading the entire series, I have to say this one's my favorite of them all. I adored the whole assignment of having to deal with a real Roman gladiator (aka Pillar of Doom) and loved Riley's willpower to prove herself. Riley's sense of humor and determination makes her a character worth rooting for.

As Riley embarks into a new realm of ancient Rome, prepare yourself for a sweet ride!

Review for Dark Flame

In this eagerly awaited continuation of the bestselling Immortals series, Alyson Noël has done it again. Dark Flame is another engaging tale filled with believable characters and lots of emotion.

The heroine, Evermore, struggles to help her best friend Haven changeover into life as an immortal. Convincing her to keep her mouth shut about their secret world is anything but easy. And to top it off, Haven has a strong connection with Ever's enemy, Roman.

Evermore's mission: the antidote, the only remedy that will allow her and her immortal soul mate, Damen to be together. But when she plays with magick and the spell backfires, she finds herself drawn to Roman in a way she never thought she could be. Now she is bound to her fatal enemy and she frantically does everything in her power to release the curse.

Ever turns to Jude, desperately attempting to break free. She ultimately risks everything she knows and loves. But is it too late?

The very talented Noël knows how to hook her readers and take them on a thrill ride. The Immortals series is an addicting anthology that keeps you wanting more. An absolute phenomenon in teen fiction. She is an exceptional author with talent that captivates all readers.

Dark Flame is a story of sacrifice and love—a well-developed plot, exhilarating characters, and teenage angst. What more can you ask for?

An excellent read!
