|title=Isabel's Skin
|author=Peter Benson
|rating=4
|genre=General Fiction
|summary=David Morris is a book trader and valuer in some indeterminate Victorian year, when he is given the job of perusing a great and valued collection held in a rich house in rural Somerset. One can guess – especially given the mood that leaps off these pages from the first and never relents – that something might go wrong, just him and the house's sole servant and her cats. But the clues build when we find just how much she dislikes a neighbour – who seems a decent enough fellow, living in seclusion, and culture and intellect wise the only equal to Morris for his short working holiday. But whose unusual behaviour can Morris trust – and who is Isabel?

|summary=''Ninja Death Touch'' is the second book in this series. It was however, the first book we read. We had no problem reading this as a stand alone book, but the minute we had finished I was on Amazon to buy the first book, and if the third book had been available I would have bought that one as well. In fact if the author had had twenty books in this series, I'd have tried to buy them all. This book features the two main characters of the first story, Tata and Cho, as well as Tata's rival Renzo and sworn enemy Lord Oda. The book begins with the young Ninja put to what appears to be senseless tasks at the whims of their masters. None are too happy about it, and tensions erupt between the young Ninja. All too soon the reason for these tasks becomes apparent as Lord Oda leads an attack meant to destroy the entire clan.

|title=Ninja: First Mission (Ninja Trilogy)
|author=Chris Bradford and Sonia Leong
|rating=5
|genre=Dyslexia Friendly
|summary=If you are looking for adventure, '' Ninja First Mission'' will certain come up trumps. This book never has a slow moment. But even as the story races along at breakneck speed, there is plenty to think about as well. This book has as much to offer the deep thinker as the adrenaline junky. Tata, a young Ninja in training, is desperate to prove himself. He has failed the test for his black belt three times, but this was just a simple test. The sacred scrolls of his clan have been stolen, and all of the fully fledged Ninja but one are away on another mission. Tata faces another test, but this time the stakes are life and death, not only for himself, but for his clan. In order to succeed Tata must learn to find victory in failure. Most of all he must learn to believe in himself.

|title=Elysian Fields
|author=Suzanne Johnson
|rating=4
|genre=Fantasy
|summary=Drusilla Jaco (DJ) is the sentinel for the preternatural community in the greater New Orleans area and is still recovering from bereavement, Katrina and broken ribs from her last adventure. No such luck as life taking things easy on her, however, as it is discovered that the copycat of a famous serial killer is not, in fact, a copycat. The Axeman of New Orleans himself has been raised from the dead by a necromancer or necromancers unknown. To make matters worse, her loup-garou fiend Jake bit her in a fit of pique and her best friend’s creepy boyfriend won’t leave her alone. She doesn’t know what he wants and she doesn’t know whether she’ll turn into a wolf at the next full moon but she does know that the Axeman is after her, specifically.
