Today concludes my ‘10 Fun Days of Young Adult Fiction‘, affectionately known as ‘YA-10′ ;) All the books I enjoyed to some extent but there were a few that stood out for me. The Other Countess for it’s sweet love story and beautiful writing, Sisters Red for great complex characters, especially Scarlett, The Radleys for a fun vampire tale with a dark edge, and The Demon’s Lexicon for an ending so brilliant it blew me away.
