Review: More Suspenseful than the Original
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 08 1, 2011
Janelle is back and better than ever, with her whole supporting cast, as she meets Kenna, a young girl from Hilo, Hawaii, who needs to be careful around volcanoes. Inferno is so suspenseful, I really didn't want to put it down.Since meeting Holly Hook it has been my pleasure to read all three of her novels, including reading her second one before its publication. I'm pleased to say that she gets better every time. Tempest was a page-turner, and Inferno is even better. The narrative is smooth, the pace fast, the dialogue sharp and focused, and there is an interesting surprise midway through.I would have liked to see this novel be a little longer. Because of the tight plotting, it progressed very rapidly and I was dismayed to see how quickly my enjoyable read was going to end. I could have read a book twice as long with pleasure.I read and write YA, and I have no reservations in recommending all of Holly Hook's books. She is a talent to watch, and we will see her stories on the screen some day! Five stars._After_ you finish Inferno:School of the Ages: The Ghost in the Crystal
