The Wicked Will Rise by Danielle Paige

-

As Amy watches the Emerald City burns down, she knows that it's time for the wicked to rise. She has the Tin Woodman's heart but before she can kill Dorothy, she must take the Lion's courage and the Scarcows brain. The members of the Order are missing and now Amy is stuck with Ozma.
    For most of the book, Amy and Ozma were following the Yellow Brick Road to some castle that really didn't hold any importance. The other half of the book was spent thinking about Nox and babysitting some ditzy princess.
    I didn't love The Wicked Will Rise as much as I love Dorothy Must Die, but it was still a good book. It was really short compared to the first book in the series and felt a little rushed.
    There was so much character development for Peter and Ozma in this book. And I love Pete! Like Dorothy Must Die, The Wicked Will Rise ended with a huge cliffhanger. I have no idea where the plot is going since it seems to change every hundred pages or something. 
    Nox and Amy are supposed to have a romance but I kind of feel eh about it. I'm not really invested in it. I love both of the characters individually, but together I'm indifferent about them. One of my favorite characters is definitely Pete.

Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White!

Bloom by Kevin Panetta

 Ari can't wait to move to Baltimore with his friends. He wants nothing more than to get out of his small seaside town. If only his dad would let him quit his job at the family bakery. While interviewing possible candidates, Ari meets Hector, an easy-going guy who loves baking. As the two work together in the bakery, love starts to bloom. Bloom was an adorable graphic novel. Also, the art in this graphic novel was great! If you looking for two soft boys falling in love, look no farther than Bloom.  Ari absolutely stole my heart away! He was so cute. Ari and Hector were made for each other. They had such a cute, fluffy romance. Both of the main characters were flawed in a way that was... different from other books. Does that make sense? I liked that they never really "fixed" their flaws. They embraced what was wrong with each other. Apart, Hector and Ari were complete messes. Together though, they seemed to complete each other while highlighting their faults. The first hal
