YA
Hope's summer in Montana gets exciting when she meets a young rancher named Cal. Their romance-turned-survival-adventure strangely echoes events from an old diary she finds, that of eighteenth-century Emily and her own love interest, Nate. Both romances feel somewhat flimsy, and Native representation can be simplistic at times. But with such a vivid setting, readers will feel transported to rural Montana.

YA
Sixteen-year-old Lily is plunged into the world of the City's unseen, inhuman inhabitants; an ancient prophecy concerning Lily and "eerily beautiful" Regan is coming to pass. The historically distinct City of London, surrounded by an ancient Roman wall, is a perfect setting for Inglis's credible blending of the mythological and modern. Readers will be eager for the clearly projected sequel.
