{{newreview|author=James Black|title=Robin Hood Vs the Plague Undead (Mash Ups) |rating=3.5|genre=Teens|summary=In 1194 AD, strange reports reach Robin Hood and his men in Sherwood Forest. There's an outbreak of plague in Nottingham and its victims are refusing Move on to stay dead...   Robin Hood vs. The Plague Undead is a 'mash up' of the Robin Hood myth with contemporary zombie tales. All the usual Robin Hood characters are there - Friar Tuck, Little John, the Sheriff of Nottingham - but with loads of zombies thrown in as well. It must be very difficult to bring the two strands together and I don't think the author has quite succeeded. The problem is that both mythologies endure for different reasons and it's hard to fuse them together without compromising the strengths of both – zombies may work better in an urban setting, and having Robin Hood fighting zombies rather than the rich tends to undermine his leftwing credentials.|amazonuk=<amazonuk>140831388X</amazonuk>}} {{newreview|author=Elizabeth Chandler|title=Evercrossed (Kissed by an Angel)|rating=3|genre=Teens|summary=''Evercrossed'' picks up where ''Kissed by an Angel'' left off.

However, someone knows their secret and that someone is determined to make them face up to the consequences of their actions. Their binding pact has held together for a year, partly out of the friendship they shared and mostly out of guilt, but when it becomes apparent that there is someone who is looking for revenge, it suddenly becomes deadly important that they face up to the truth, for their own sakes.|amazonuk=<amazonuk>1907410600</amazonuk>}} {{newreview|author=Will Hill|title=Department 19|rating=4|genre=Teens|summary=Jamie Carpenter lived a normal, happy, suburban life until the night strange creatures arrived at his house and men in black combats with strange, ultra-violent weapons burst in and executed his father. Since then, Jamie and his mother have lived in a succession of miserable, dour little houses and Jamie has become less and less interested in a succession of miserable, dour little schools. He resents his mother, like all good disaffected teenagers do. |amazonuk=<amazonuk>0007354452</amazonuk>}} {{newreview|author=K M Grant|title=Belle's Song|rating=4|genre=Teens|summary=Chaucer was a fascinating bloke. Not only did he write the famous Canterbury Tales, but he also found the time and courage to be a spy for the king at a time of civil unrest and political intrigue in Britain. So a story set during one of his journeys, one which combines his secret work and some of the more memorable characters from the tales, is an intriguing proposition, metaphorically as well as literally. Add a dreamy, motherless girl whose guilt at causing her father's accident only reinforces her tendency to self-harm and obsessive behaviour, and a cracking good plot emerges.|amazonuk=<amazonuk>1849164088</amazonuk>}}[[Newest Thrillers Reviews]]
