|genre=Teens
|summary=What do you get when you mix up Cecily Von Ziegesar's delightfully trashy ''Gossip Girl'' series with Dickens's classic ''Great Expectations'', and throw in a splash of ''Animal Farm'' by George Orwell? A really readable YA contemporary story which has surprising depth and has been one I've been thinking about a lot since originally reading it towards the start of the year. I read Stella for the first time after getting it out of the library, and at the time I was extremely impressed by the voices of lead characters Stella and Caitlin, but had issues with it. On rereading, to prepare myself for upcoming prequel ''Siena'', I think it's one of the relatively few books I've read recently which works even better second time around, although those issues haven't vanished completely.

|summary=Everything comes down to this. The war between the Sanctuaries was merely a prelude to the real battle, the fight against Darquesse, perhaps the most powerful sorcerer of all time. Prophesied to burn everyone and everything to ashes, her arrival heralds the end of the world as everyone knows it, and the stakes have never been higher, the need never greater, for Skulduggery Pleasant and what remains of his allies to do what they do best: kicking evil very hard in the face.
