He made me promise not to try to ge...

Last week I reviewed The Here and Now by Ann Brashares and The House of Hades by Rick Riordian. Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige I didn't ask for any of this. I didn't ask to be some kind of hero. But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado—taking you with it—you have no choice but to go along, you know? Sure, I've read the books. I've seen the movies. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little blue birds. But I never expected Oz to look like this. To be a place where Good Witches can't be trusted, Wicke...
