My name is Heather M. Riley and I became a blogger because I'm obsessed with books. I read all genres, but I have a special love for Young Adult novels. Come and obsess with me as I discuss YA titles new and old through reviews, interviews, features, and the occasional giveaway.

Trailer Tuesday: Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo http://www.leighbardugo.com Henry Holt/Macmillan Release date: Today! June 5, 2012
I enjoyed just about every aspect of Shadow and Bone as a fantasy nerd, YA reader and writer. Everything about this book just worked for me. It's well-written, polished and incredibly solid. The pacing is never an issue (despite a bit of a slow beginning), and the description was expertly woven into dialog and plot -and a plot with plenty of action.With incredible twists and turns, I never knew where Shadow and Bone was going.
The world of Ravka is being torn apart by darkness and horrible monsters that threaten to bright down the entire society. Enter Alina, an orphan who finds that she holds mysterious and unexpected powers that immediately elevate her to the level of Grisha -the elite magic class. Thrust into a world of politics and secrets, Alina must find a way to survive the world of the Grisha.
