Thick & Thin (THIRDS #8) by Charlie Cochet
Thick and Thin is a novella that gives the reader some necessary down-time after the emotional upheaval of Smoke and Mirrors. It also gives Destructive Delta the opportunity to catch up with what is going on with Dex and Sloane. Yes, they're unhappy at the secrets being kept and their own fears, but will it be enough to split them up permanently, or will they be able to work it out?

I needed this book, a touch of normality after the previous book! I still found my emotions in play though as the rest of the team learned about what had gone on that they had no idea about. However, I am now excited to see where it will lead. Very well written, as per the whole series, with no editing or grammatical errors to disrupt my reading flow. Definitely recommended by me.

Damian's second step.
Having read Tomasi's Superman Rebirth and now this New 52 title, I am really impressed on his grip and development of the 2 most iconic DC families. Unlike the Kent's, though, this is interesting as a single parent vigilante scenario.

I like Damian as a character. His relationship with his father gets fleshed out throughout this series, with both of their doubts and fears about each other fully realized and explored. This book covers how Damian was raised by Talia al Ghul and has him in a Court of Owls tie-in story. There's a 3 part arc with villain Terminus that deals with sibling rivalry among the Robins. It ends with a 2 parter that seems like a relapse for Damian. The beauty is that these individual stories contain a subtle story arc amongst them...one which culminates in a touching moment at the end.

Fast read
I really enjoyed The Art of Escaping by Erin Callahan a lot more than I thought I would. This novel was a super cute contemporary and a fast, fun read. I loved seeing the characters grow and develop as the story went on. The friendship that starts between Mattie and Will, and later with Frankie and Stella, is an inspiring relationship that most people can connect with and would love to have in their own lives. Together, they overcome their fears and come into their own, as well as helping the people around them grow and learn. The character of Miyu was probably my favorite, I loved her attitude and learning about her and her mom Akiko. I would love to read a whole book based off of these two characters, and to learn more about their relationship. Overall, I really enjoyed this ya contemporary story, and would definitely recommend for all ages.
