Review: The Never List by Koethi Zan
Every girl has a list of ‘nevers’ that they follow to keep themselves safe. Never walk to your car alone late at night. Never accept an open drink from a men you don’t know. Never get into cars with strangers. Never, never, never. Everyone’s never list is bound to be different. For me the cardinal rule is never get into a car with strangers and that is the same rule that best friends Sarah and Jennifer violate one fateful night. Sarah and Jennifer have a lengthy list of ‘nevers’ that range from avoiding natural disasters, to avoiding rape and kidnapping. Their never list has served them well all the way…

Review: The Queen’s Rivals by Brandy Purdy

Told through the eyes of the youngest sister, Mary,…
