Dru Anderson is now living and learning in the Schola Prima, surrounded by male werwulfen and djamphir. The only other female around is Anna, head of the Order (I forget what that is) and the reason why this book is titled Jealousy. Anna likes to think of herself as a Special Snowflake, and doesn’t understand why others don’t agree – namely Christophe, the guy Dru may or may not have a crush on. But Dru wasn’t Anna’s first target.

The relationship between Dru and Graves is the most authentic I’ve ever come across in fiction. It’s awkward – delightfully, refreshingly awkward. Writers, this is how teen romances should be written.

Overall, this novel seemed to lack a little in story. Basically it can be summed up:

-Anna’s a beeyatch
-Christophe may be back
-A key character goes missing

I was expecting…well, more.

[COVER ART] Lili St. Crow’s JEALOUSY

US/UK cover for Lili St. Crow’s Jealousy. Dru’s hair isn’t usually that perfect, and she doesn’t wear make-up. The image just isn’t right for the character.

Moulton called out for a list of 2010 & 2011 YA fantasy fiction, but my list here contains other YA subgenres, too 😉 These are only the ones with known release dates – those without are on my Reading Wishlist. Release dates can and probably will change in the lead-up to the books’ publication. Some are re-releases, international editions, etc. Of course, I don’t list every single book – only the ones that I’ve heard of and am interested in.
