"Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods" by Suzanne Collins

Warning: This is the third book in a series. If you haven't read the first two you may not want to read this.

Gregor And The Curse Of The Warmbloods is the third book in The Underland Chronicles  by Suzanne Collins. You say, hey isn't that the lady who wrote The Hunger Games Trilogy? Yes, it is. This series was actually written before the trilogy. The story takes place in modern time with a unique fantasy twist.

Shortly after Gregor returns home, the Underland is calling for him again. Convinced that he is the savior from their prophecy still, the Underlanders want Gregors help. Ripred tells Gregor about a plague that is going around in the Underland killing off any thing warm blooded. They want to search for a cure. Gregor isn't really convinced he should go til Ripred mentions one of the warm bloods sick, is Gregor's bond. Ares. Gregor is now willing to go, but his mother forbids it. It doesn't remain forbidden for long though because Gregor's own personal escort or escorts come to make him go. The mother gives in. One condition though. She is coming to the Underland this time. With the plague running around though, the results of their decision turn deadly. They really have to race against the clock now. How many shall perish? Can they find the cure in time or will the whole Underland be wiped out?


Even though this series was targeted for a younger audience, more and more reviews are coming from the Young Adults who picked it up and fell in love with it.  I personally am one of them. I loved how in this book, that even though they were all technically at war or at least bitter enemies with each other, the groups had to come together in order to have any chance of survival. I wanted to read the series originally just because Suzanne Collin's wrote it, but once I started reading it, it reminded me of Harry Potter. Not because theirs any magic or wizards in it, but because the writing style and story were just very interesting and seemed like it could be for a very large age group. Young, Old, or in between, if you start reading The Underland Chronicles I know you won't be disappointed!
