BZRK by Michael Grant
Published by Egmont



Set in the near future, a conspiracy is afoot to create a perfect and perfectly controlled world. The Armstrong Fancy Gift Corporation is a front for the conjoined Armstrong twins, Charles and Benjamin, and the plot to create their own version of utopia.

A shadowy guerilla group known as BZRK form a nascent resistance movement. Both sides develop sophisticated nanotechnology to achieve their goals:

-The Armstrong twins develop the nanobot, a stealth device that latches onto the brains of unsuspecting citizens 

-BZRK's DNA-derived biots are deployed to search out and destroy the insidious bots.  If biots are destroyed, the brain cells of their DNA-donor also die.  Hence the name BZRK.

 ***
This review is going to be short. This isn't because I didn't like BZRK but more because I can't quite find the words to do it justice yet.

Firstly can I say that Michael Grant is probably one of the most creepy YA writers out there.…

Goliath by Scott Westerfeld
Published by Simon and Schuster



Alek and Deryn are on the last leg of their round-the-world quest to end World War I, reclaim Alek’s throne as prince of Austria, and finally fall in love. The first two objectives are complicated by the fact that their ship, the Leviathan, continues to detour farther away from the heart of the war (and crown). And the love thing would be a lot easier if Alek knew Deryn was a girl. (She has to pose as a boy in order to serve in the British Air Service.) And if they weren’t technically enemies.

The tension thickens as the Leviathan steams toward New York City with a homicidal lunatic on board: secrets suddenly unravel, characters reappear, and nothing is at it seems in this thunderous conclusion to Scott Westerfeld’s brilliant trilogy

 This review is going to be short and sweet as I don't want to spoil the series for anyone.

Goliath is the last in a series of books set in a steampunk world and follows the story of…

Jessie Hearts New York by Keris Stainton
Published by Orchard



Jessie's just arrived in New York, hoping to forget about her awful ex.

New Yorker Finn is in love with his best friend's girlfriend.

They might be perfect together, but in a city of eight million people, will they ever find each other?

 I have no idea why I left it so long before reading this book. It was a huge mistake because I thoroughly enjoyed it and am looking forward to Emma Hearts LA even more now.

Jessie is one of those fuzzy lovely books which you can devour in a matter of hours and be left with a lovely heart-warming feeling in the pit of your stomach.

Jessie is one of those characters you can't help but love. She in vulnerable and wears her heart of her sleeve. Her recent relationship with her mother hasn't been great and she's now in New York to spend time with her whilst getting over her recent split with her boyfriend.

I loved the relationship Jessie has with her best friend Emma. Had I…
