Guinevere's Gamble

In the second book of the Chrysalis Queen Quartet, Guinivere is still living with her Aunt and Uncle, King Pellinore and Queen Alyse, and her cousin, Elaine. Llyr, one of the Old Ones, has been assigned as her protector, as the prophecy about her begins to come true. All the kings are called to a council with High King Arthur, to solve a pressing problem with the Saxons. Unfortunately, the king is unable to attend, but Sir Bedwyn represents him well. Sir Bedwyn also been charged with getting Arthur's sister Morgan to her future husband. Morgan learns of the prophecy about Guinevere, and tries to ruin her relationship with Elaine. She also attempts to ruin Llyr as well. Guinevere learns that a lady sometimes has to stand up for what is right, even if it could cause trouble.

This is a fantastic story. I recommend this story to those who like Arthurian stories.

Teen, Inc, by Stefan Petrucha

Jaiden Beale has lived at NECorp all his life. When he was 2 days old, his parents were killed by faulty equipment and since he had no relatives, the corporation responsible for the accident adopted him. He lives in the corporate building, with Nancy as one of his caretakers. Jaiden and his friends discover that NECorp is poisoning the water supply, and decide to do something about it.

The plot was well developed and the story was interesting to read. The action was well paced and the characters were believable. I couldn't put this book down.
