I suspect that this is a collection of 'young adult' stories. I wish Amazon would label their offerings so that those of us who are reading at a higher level than young adults are not disappointed.The first 'book', The Faerie Guardian by Rachel Morgan, was OK.The Withering Palace by Alexia Purdy is a bitter twisted & miserable tale memorable only for it's poor grammar, unique word usage and creative spelling. It reads as though it was transcribed by an inept talk to text program and published without any further proofing or editing.Dark Promise should have been titled Recollections of a High School Lunch Lady. It joins a very small collection of books I could not force myself to finish.While I have read many young adult books which I enjoyed, this is not one of them. I don't know anyone, young adults or otherwise I dislike enough to inflict it on.
