    swirlycool's book review was featured in Red Queen.
    "Rise, red as the dawn"- There are Reds, and there are Silvers. That was all Mare Barrow knew. However, when she goes to get some air at night, she meets a stranger. Something urges her to spill all her worries to this stranger, even the secrets that could get her in serious trouble. The next day, people come at her door, and she assumes she is being taken for war. But instead, she is hired and now works for the king. When something happens at a pageant, instead of being burned she discovers she has powers, and she uses them, creating a giant hole. She soon learns she is not only Red, but she is also Silver. Stronger than both, she is taken into a cell, kept by the king and queen. She now has a new identity, which means she is no longer Mare Barrow. She is Mareena, raised as a Red but truly a Silver, now finding where she truly belongs. She is also scheduled to marry Maven Calore. When she and Cal go to visit her family secretly, she joins the Scarlet Guard, a rebel group against the Silvers. During the secret meet, to Mare's surprise and shock, they have another new recruit- Maven Calore. Maven is in the shadow of his brother, Cal. Mare can relate to this as she is in the shadow of her sister, Gisa. However, when the rebel plans do not go as expected, Maven and Mare are at risk of being exposed as being part of the Scarlet Guard, the most wanted group and hated amongst the royals around them. Little does Mare Barrow know that amongst her is a traitor, and things are not what they seem. Overall, I enjoyed this book and it had plot twists that made me want to read more and more. I recommend this book to people who enjoy dystopian and romance books, or people who enjoy The Selection series. I rate this book 5/5.

    swirlycool's book review was featured in The Dark Prophecy (The Trials of Apollo).
    Apollo has been turned into a mortal named Lester. In order to gain his godly form back, he must restore the Oracles, all while being under the command of Meg, the daughter of Demeter. They must defeat the evil Roman emperors who want to get the Oracles so they can influence and control the future. These Roman emperors are apart of the Triumvirate Holdings, which consists of Nero, Commodus, and Caligula. In this book, Apollo and Meg are joined by Calypso and Leo. Overall, I enjoyed this book and recommend it to people who like the Percy Jackson and the Heroes of Olympus series, or the Heroes of Olympus series. I rate this 5/5.

    This book is the start of the Baby Sitters Club series. Kristy and her friends, Mary-Anne, Claudia, and Stacey, are apart of a club where they babysit. Kristy comes up with the idea. This book is really colorful, and if you enjoy other books of this series, or graphic novels such as Smile, then this book will spark your interest. I rate this book 5/5.

    This book is in the Red Queen series. Mare Barrow is now apart of the Scarlet Guard openly, and she is heartbroken over the betrayal of her betroned, Maven Calore. She and Cal Calore, brother of Maven, have escaped the castle and have been framed for something Maven and the queen are responsible for. Not only that, but they are in the race to find the newbloods, otherwise known as Red and Silver together, before Maven and the queen find them. Newbloods are even more powerful than Silvers, which is why they must be found for their safety because the Queen and Maven are aware of the power they hold, and how dangerous they may possibly be against them. Mare is also left with trust issues, and conflicts with her feelings due to the betrayal of Maven, and how she was tricked.. She is also concerned for the safety of her friend, Kilorn, who assures her he is capable of protecting himself. Overall, this book was good other than the excessive use of the words smirk and sneer and the slow plot. I recommend this book to people who enjoy dystopian or romance books. This book will also definitely spark your interest if you enjoy The Selection series. I rate this book 5/5.

    Harriet Hamsterbone is not your typical princess. When Harriet finds out that she is to prick her finger when she turns twelve, putting her into a deep sleep, she does not react to that as bad news. In fact, she thinks that is the best news she has had ever. Because it makes her invincible. She is delighted by this, and decides to go on adventures. Harriet also loves sword-fighting. Overall, this book was funny and also really colorful. I recommend it to people who enjoy comedy books, or graphic novels. I rate this book 5/5.
