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.
A review for the new mystery by Sharon Short, Trouble Island. Set in the 1930’s on an isolated island in the middle of Lake Erie, this locked room mystery will keep you guessing as to what is going on as the main character tries to solve a murder.
A review for the final book in the Chaotic Orbits novella series. Last Chance to Save the World is a fun slow burn romance between two wonderful characters who are in a race against time to save the world.
A review for the audiobook version of Ruth Ware’s One Perfect Couple. This survival thriller is set on a remote island in the Indian Ocean when a reality TV show goes horribly wrong after a storm. The audiobook narrator does a solid job bringing the story and the characters to life.
I’m trying to keep on top of my reviews this month, so you might see a few more mini-reviews from me. This week I am reviewing two recently published books that are pretty different from each other. Both were good, but not anything exceptional. But I did enjoy reading them. Today I am reviewing to new books: Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books by Kirsten Miller and Home is Where the Bodies Are by Jeneva Rose.
First Lines Friday is a weekly feature (or when I feel like it) hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover we judge it by its opening lines?
Can you figure out this week’s book just from the first line?
