Endymion Spring by Matthew Skelton
A mix of historical mystery and young adult fantasy, Endymion Spring was a pleasant read about the search for a book made from a dragon's hide. It wove the stories of Endymion Spring, 15th-century boy who worked as a typesetter for Gutenberg (the man who invented the printing-press) in Germany, and present-day Blake Winters, spending time with his mother and sister in Oxford.

The Society by Lilith Saintcrow
February 3, 2015
The black-ops government agency called Sigma broke Justin Delgado, trained his psionic talent and turned him into a killer. Then he escaped and joined the Society, an underground resistance movement of psions determined to use their talents to bring Sigma down. Competent, cold, and cruelly efficient, he's the best operative the Society has, a legend among the psions who fight a shadow war against an enemy that owns the courts, the press, and the police. Feared even by his own teammates, hunted by the government, and too damaged to feel anything but clinical rage, he is utterly alone-until he meets Rowan.

Dark Kiss of the Reaper by Kristen Painter
December 23, 2014
Despite the dark cover, this book reads more like a family drama featuring rival siblings, disapproving aunts, golden-boy-turns-rebel, and the upstart girlfriend.

The Twelve Treasures: The Sword of Maiden’s Tears by Rosemary Edghill
December 2, 2014
I kept re-reading The Sword of Maiden Tears. For more than 10 years, Melior and Ruth have been in my imagination. Melior was an elf prince lost in New York and Ruth a librarian who found him injured in an alley. Melior had a quest to retrieve his cursed sword and Ruth just wanted to live (because much of her life was taken away from her).
