Books, Language: PG(5 swears 0 “f”); Mature Content: PG; Violence: PG.
Lilith lost her
mother in an unfortunate accident, a tragedy. Now as Lilith travels to her
mom’s home town, Crete, she hopes to find out more from one of the counselors
at the GIrl’s Youth Leadership Camp. As the danger increases, Lilith and her
friends stumble across the Labyrinth, a twisting maze with death puzzles at
every turn. With pursuers on their trail, the four friends must solve the
puzzles...or die along the bodies of others. The timer has started. Can the
girls get out...or will they be left there at the mercy of the labyrinth?
I really liked this book. It was full of Greek mythology,
one of my favorite things to read about. It was an-edge-of-your-seat book for
me. There were surprises at every turn of the page and completely changed my
perspective on the Labyrinth and its story. Mature Content is PG because there
are deadly things happening to these girls through every chamber, most of which
would give a young child nightmares. Violence PG because the things happening
to the four friends are more like battle scenes, not things that should happen
on a normal basis. They are also described in immense detail.
