[Book Review] Disconnected By Lisa M. Cronkhite & Caffe Appassionato Magnolia Blend
Milly has always had an extra persona inside herself named Amelia. Since the death of Milly's parents, Amelia has seemingly turned on her, becoming Milly's greatest adversary. Amelia constantly pours poison words into Milly's mind; she puts her down, coerces her into self-harm, and taunts her about committing suicide. When circumstances force Milly and Grandpa George, her current guardian, to move in with her estranged Aunt Rachel, Amelia pushes and pulls Milly along to discovering the two adults are hiding something. A fragile Milly re-discovers some of her own history that Amelia has blocked from her memory as well as learns some ultimately very disturbing family secrets.

[Book Review] Hollow City By Ransom Riggs & Port Townsend Coffee Roasting Loop d’ Loop
"Do you ever find yourself climbing into an open grave during a bombing raid," I said, "and just wish you'd stayed in bed?" The second book in the series, Hollow City starts exactly where the first book leaves off: the children crossing the water in boats with their injured headmistress, heading away from the island and the monsters pursuing them. On the mainland things don’t get any easier for them. With Hollows and Wights hot on their heels, the children determinedly find and explore other time loops in search of someone to help them save their beloved Miss Peregrine, meeting new peculiars (including peculiar animals) along the way.
