Wow! This is far and away the best mystery/MI5 story I have ever read. Just when you think you have it all figured out, there is another twist. I was riveted to the page, and could not put it down till I was finished. Even the ending was stunning. If I could give it more than a 5 star review I would! Can't wait to read more from this author.

Child of the Ghosts
Child of the Ghosts by Jonathan Moeller is a ripping good Sword and Sorcery novel. It had me on the edge of my seat from the very first page to the very last page. It's been a while since that happened.
It is the story of eleven year old Caina Amalas, whose father dotes on her and has tried to teach her everything about the world, and instilled in her a love of books and reading. Her mother however, a would-be sorceress, hates her and wishes she were dead.
On one tragic day, a day that changed Caina's life forever, she loses both her parents, and spends the next while suffering tortures no one should suffer, let alone a young girl.
She is rescued by the Ghosts, a legendary band of assassins who work for the Emperor. Under their tutelage, she becomes a deadly weapon.
I don't want to give away any more of the story; read it for yourself! It is available at Amazon A definite must read! 9/10

Blackbrooke
Blackbrooke is a very good story. I think Blackbrooke could be a symbol of all the limitations the teens feel they face. Their characters are quite believable, as are the feelings they all experience. The loss of so many friends, supposedly to “Walk Out”, a euphemism for suicide, is enough to finally make the friends band together to do something about it. Of course, this had been tried before, by a group naming themselves the Vigilantes, but the friends are determined to succeed where others failed.
The ending is somewhat of a bombshell, with Liberty running from the frying pan into the fire. One can feel her shock at the events that are happening. The story ends at just the right place to allow for a sequel. All in all, well done. Teens will like the story. 8/10
