Sign of the Crescent is a book my grandmother gave me years ago. Admittedly, when I read it back then, it confused me and I could not quite understand what was going on.
Fast-forward to the present day.
Now that my mind can comprehend the words, I have read the book multiple times and enjoy it thoroughly. The book follows interesting characters in an intriguing plot that mixes new with old, and powerful with the weak. As you progress through the book, you learn more about w...more

A lot of the YA fiction that I read is really well done - heavy themes, deep questions, lasting characters. It's what I hope for in any book I pick up, but sometimes when you write for 12 year olds and non-readers, this isn't going to happen.
If you're looking for a light read with lots of action and plot, I totally recommend this book, and would dissuade you from reading the rest of my review, because it's not particularly flattering. Plot and action this book has - so in that resp...more

I WANT A SEQUEL! I thought this book was great. Very creative, very cool. It has romance, adventure, magic, and twists galore. Love that it takes place in arizona.
This was pretty good. I didn't take to it like I did the L.O.S.T series, but it has it's own charm. I'd pick it up from the library if you up for a light read.
I won this book and it was a descent read. The story is a bit predictable though with no real twist or turns.
A very creative fantasy, where people from Neworld go back to protect those on Oldworld (Earth) from an evil sorcerer. It gets tricky when one of the protectors falls in love with a girl from earth.
I really liked the story and the twists, but was dissapointed in the ending. It was as if the author was trying too hard to leave it open for a sequel that was never written. The writing style also was a problem for me, as it was first person present and really got in the way of the st...more

This one was really hard to get into. I wasn't snagged until around page 100 / the start of part two. At the beginning, I kept skipping over Erick's parts to try to move the story along. The middle section was pretty good--it redeemed the story a bit. Then the ending? Left hanging for a sequel that never happened.... All in all, worth the fifty cents I picked it up for.

Debbie wrote her first young adult book, ASTA, after having an incredibly vivid dream where she sprouted wings and flew! ASTA was supposed to be a faery, but then she told Debbie she was a pagan witch. Honestly, these characters just won't behave the way you plan for them to! Asta's currently tucked away, awaiting a rewrite since she changed her mind on who she is, but Debbie hopes she'll be in th...more
