A review for the first book in a new series by Fern Michaels. Smuggler’s Cove is the first book I have read by this author and unfortunately it didn’t really work for me. There were a couple of things I liked but the overall story was disappointing.

ARC Review: Of Art and Friendships
A review for the new novel by Fredrik Backman coming out in May. My Friends is a loving look at art, found family, grief, love and the endurance of friendship.
Book Review: Castle Knoll Files #1
A review for the first book in a delightful cozy mystery series. How to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin was a lot of fun to read with two very interesting main characters and two mysteries to solve.
ARC Review: A Popcorn Thriller
A review for the next fast paced thriller by Alex Finlay. Parents Weekend is a well done complex plot driven story about a group of friends who disappear during parents weekend at a California college. The story features Special Agent Sarah Keller as she races against time to save the students before the worst happens.
ARC Review: Middle Grade Mystery
A review for the ARC for the upcoming middle grade novel, Bug Bandits by Jenni L Walsh. A fast paced story about a young girl trying to save her father’s insectarium, a bug museum, from a burglary. This is a story about friendship and science with a dash of adventure and a bit of mystery.
Mini Reviews: A Middle Grade Bonanza
Three very short reviews of three middle grade books that I read in the last couple of weeks. Two are fiction and one is nonfiction. The First State of Being is wonderful historical science fiction story about Y2K. The Bletchley Riddle is set during WWII and it is about two siblings searching for their mother. Loch Ness Uncovered is about the Loch Ness Monster and how the story began and the evidence of the hoaxes that have perpetuated over the years.
