Book Trends, a review site for young adult and children books, published several new book reviews this past week. We're presenting here a summary of those in the mystery / suspense category.

The Long Way Home by Andrew Klavan. The second thriller in the Homelanders series, recommended for readers aged 12 and older. Lexile measure: N/A. Reviewed by a 6th grade student, who writes, "Andrew Klavan is obviously a very good writer and I cannot wait for the third book in this series to come out! This plot is good, the setting is good, and the characters are phenomenal."

Kiss in the Dark by Lauren Henderson. The third mystery in the Scarlett Wakefield series, recommended for readers aged 14 and older. Lexile measure: 930L (estimated, based on previous books in the series). Reviewed by a 6th grade student, who writes, "The entire book is told through the eyes of a teenager, which makes it great fun. Finally, the mystery is unpredictable and engaging. There are so many twists and turns, the reader is kept guessing until the very last page."
