A review for the debut novel, A Gift Before Dying by Malcolm Kempt. Set in a small town in the remote Arctic Circle, a young Inuit girl takes her life. Cole, the lead detective doesn’t think all is what it seems and embarks on a journey that will turn deadly.
A Review for the new standalone science fiction novel by Edward Ashton. After the Fall is a humorous look at what would happen if the aliens that conquered earth decided to keep humans as pets/companions or perhaps slaves. Part buddy comedy and part workplace satire, this story dares to ask the unthinkable.
Two quick reviews for two fabulous middle grade audio books I listened to this month. Let it Glow is a very sweet story about twins who switch places and learn about Christmas and Hanukkah. The Court of the Dead is the second adventure for Nico de Angelo and Will Solace who travel to Camp Jupiter to help Hazel.
A review for the fourth book in the Ernest Cunningham mystery series. Everyone in This Bank is a Thief by Benjamin Stevenson is a fast paced funny and clever murder mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end.
A review for the nonfiction book The Un-Discovered Islands by Malachy Tallack and illustrated by Katie Scott. This is a very interesting look at the many islands throughout history that were ‘discovered’ and later found to be false. There are many reasons why these islands no longer exist and the author does a nice job of explaining them.
A review for the audiobook version of the newest thriller by Rachel Hawkins. The Storm is an exciting murder mystery set in coastal Alabama during hurricane season. There is a gothic vibe to the story and the use of many female characters to tell the story is well done.
