(4) YA Twin brothers Charlie and Alex belong to a secret society that employs time travel to manipulate, even assassinate, historic figures. Sent to the Tudor court to stop Jane Seymour's marriage to Henry VIII, they find themselves entangled in romances and intrigues from both their own era and the one they're visiting. Hosie's fast-paced, ambitious adventure occasionally overreaches with too many complications and not enough character development.

(3) YA Team DEVIL returns as Viking prince Alfarin leads his fellow dead souls through the Nine Circles of Hell to find the Devil's Banshee--Satan's wife and the only being capable of protecting everyone from his most evil imaginings. This third book uses the series' (The Devil's Intern; The Devil's Dreamcatcher) signature blend of likable characters, strong friendships, dark humor, and horror to parallel Dante's Inferno.

(3) YA When sixteen-year-old Medusa's abusive stepfather escapes Hell with The Devil's Dreamcatcher, she travels through time with Devil's intern Mitchell, Viking prince Alfarin, and seventeenth-century-London peasant Elinor to recover the weapon before its destructive powers are unleashed. Expanding on its predecessor's (The Devil's Intern) strong character relationships and time paradoxes, this sequel raises the stakes and builds excitement for the intrepid quartet's next adventure.
