June at Bibliophilia, Please

I'm going to try to keep this post super short because I said almost everything in my Thankful Thursday post two days ago. I only posted two reviews this month. No, I'm not horribly lazy - okay, yes I am. I do have quite a few written out, but I need to get around to typing them up. Do any of you hand-write your business first? Anywho - the reviews:

(Click on the picture to read the review.)

I also have a few winners to announce for the various giveaways that ended in the month of June.

Review: Lies Beneath by Anne Greenwood Brown

 

Title: Lies Beneath
Author: Anne Greenwood Brown
Publisher: Random House Children's Books
Release Date: June 12, 2012

Lies Beneath is the debut novel of Anne Greenwood Brown. It is a young adult novel that is told from the viewpoint of a male mermaid and is set in and around Lake Superior.

When some people think about mermaids, Disney's The Little Mermaid comes to mind. However, the only similarity you will find between Calder White and Ariel are the fins.You see, he is a cold-blooded killer who hunts humans for sustenance and survival. Where reptiles need heat to moderate their body temperature, mermaids need positive emotions to maintain their mental stability. One of Calder's favorite places to hunt humans is in the Caribbean, where the story opens. Despite his urgent, ever-present need to feed, Calder is experimenting on how long he can keep that driving force at bay. Unfortunately, his sisters call him home before he can refuel his emotions. An even stronger force than hunger or family beckons him back to Lake Superior - revenge.

"What would Lily have thought if I'd laid it all out there like that? Would she have run away screaming, knowing that we were here to collect on that promise?"
