Half-Blood by Jennifer L.

For Holly by Tanya Byrne Published by Headline on 4th June 2015 Pages:  336 Source:  *Received from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review* Lola Durand hates her stepmother. It's a cliché but it's true.  Lola Durand can't get through to her father. He never wants to talk about the things that matter: why they had to move to Paris, why he had to marry evil Agatha, and how they can get through the heartache of her mother's death together.

She's going to share it. Going into For Holly  I did not really know what to expect, all I knew was the novel was surrounded by the fact that Lola knew a big secret about her step-mother. I was so intrigued by this plot, I was pleased to start reading it, however I was very disappointed. I
