To Be Reviewed

Just a note on what I have lined up for review.  Of course it won't necessarily happen in this order.  I'll get these read and post more information as soon as I can!

Once you get into the story, there's no way out.  Everyone's heard the rumors.  If you gather the right things and say the right words, you'll be taken to Malice, a world that exists inside a horrifying comic book.  It's a world that few kids know about and even fewer survive.  Seth and Kady think it's all a silly myth.  But when their friend Luke disappears, suddenly the rumors don't seem silly after all.  Malice is real.  Malice is deadly.  And Seth and Kady are about to be trapped inside it.
