My debut author for August (yes I know I'm a bit late), is Julia Mayer and her book Eyes in the Mirror. I am very pleased with my recent book choices, they have all been so different from what I typically end up reading.
This book was a mixture of two of my favorite genres in YA: teen problems and fantasy. Both genres were present but Eyes in the Mirror was more of a teen problems novel than fantasy fiction. The fantasy part of the book showed up in the form of an alternate reality, through the looking glass sort of idea, add in teen pregnancy, losing a parent at a young age and self mutilation and, believe it or not, what you end up with is a very interesting story.
