Kiki Strike: Inside the Shadow City

by Kirsten Miller

Ananka Fishbein's boring, ordinary life suddenly becomes extraordinary when she meets Kiki Strike, a small, pale girl who seems to be strange, but surely not dangerous. Ananka's views of Kiki change when she is asked to join Kiki's exploration group of the Shadow City, a labyrinth of abandoned tunnels below Manhattan. One thing is for sure: Ananka's life will never be the same again...

I loved Kiki Strike! It had all the things I love in a book: mystery, adventure, history, action, and more. The story line was engrossing with several surprising twists, and the writing was interesting and fast-paced. I also loved how the story was so suspenseful, yet I learned a lot about New York from reading this book. I would definitely give this five stars, and I can't wait to read the next book!
