Children of the Knight by Michael J. Bowler and The Beekeeper of New York by Summer Aqman That second is one that will stay with me for days, perhaps even weeks or longer. OTOH, the first became very depressing in its last third and I had to struggle to finish it. For a YA, which it purports to be, it was certainly a drag....and it's the first of a series. I won't be continuing. And yes, I do read quite a lot of YA. Some of it is really well done. (My grandson's current GF's mom writes YA, but I'm not disclosing who she is so as not to invade her privacy or mine...or the kids')

Just started one on Kindle called Slush, by someone calling him/herself Afton. It's quite odd. Don't know whether I'll finish it.
