10 by MedleyMisty

Do you always do what you're supposed to?

Seth Morrigan is kind of a loner.  He has his herb garden, his alchemy, his experiments and tinctures.  These are enough. Until he is beaten up by bullies.  Until Caitlyn Wilson takes an interest in him.  Until cracks begin to show in the perfection of time and space. . . .

Dark Circles by Annie Abbondante

All I ever really wanted were dark circles under my eyes.

All I ever really wanted were dark circles under my eyes.  The thin, navy half-moons seemed so elusive and beautiful.  I wanted the kind you get from being malnourished or not getting enough sleep.  Models who spent nights with rock stars had them.  Dancers who devoted themselves too much to their art had them.  Pale girls with black hair and . . .

CITY OF NIGHT

Don’t want to reach the city limits.

Editor: S.A. Hunter
January 9, 2009

City of Night is full of choking, horrific dread. One protagonist is afraid of the dark that will eat her, while another is afraid of her ghostly reflection in the mirror. The horror that overtakes each girl as she confronts her fears, that are wrapped in such mundane things, is nail biting. The author does a wonderful job detailing each [more . . .]

ADDERGOOLE

Well-paced, well-written dark fantasy

Member: nomesque
April 12, 2009

Imagine the faery world colliding with a futuristic upper high (or college prep, depending on where you live) school, with some hints of science fiction and a taste of anime thrown in for good measure. That describes Addergoole for me.

The school itself is far underground – a secret facility. Its [more . . .]
