It was a different type of a book. I listened to it rather than reading it. I am not sure I like Cara. She doesn’t seem to self reflect about how she treated her son and what she did to him like as mothering him too much and throwing an iron at him. She doesn’t seem to really look at her own weaknesses.

I loved this book. I could stop reading, its leaving me eager to start the second. As always this is a classic Rick Riordan book, with all his humor.

You will love this book if you like The Red Queen series and the Hunger Games. It is a great enemies to lovers novel, a wonderful adventure and a very addicting book.

Was my summer reading book and I had low expectations going in but I actually enjoyed it! It’s a very dramatic play about the Salem witch trials so it’s fun to see references to actual historical things. It’s also very strong and thematic. The author intended it to compare to the red scare going on at the time of the book, but I think it can be related to really any point in time. Some parts are iffy, but honestly I got hooked by the end!

While the identity of the killer in this murder mystery didn’t surprise me, I enjoyed this cast of characters and would go back earlier in the series. (This was gifted to me, so I started rather in the middle of things.) I loved hanging out in Victorian London and was sufficiently pulled along with both main and side plots to cruise through the book at a relaxed pace. Made for a nice way to unwind after the day.

Charming narration offers an introduction to an endearing detective in a cozyish locked room murder mystery with a clever plot. If you’ve burned through all of Agatha Christie, this series will appeal to you.

The plot was fairly predictable, but the descriptions of the unusual setting, the weather and the seed vault made for an interesting read.

This was a good book. My son and I really enjoyed it. We laughed and we thoroughly enjoyed reading it together.

Kind of an odd story. Two sisters own a ballet studio that was passed down to them by their mother. When the studio is damaged, a contractor is brought in and delays and weird things happen. Not what I expected.

I fell in love with the characters of this book. I could not put it down and finished it in less than a week. I immediately wanted to start the next book of the series.
