Hazel (2934 KP) rated A Dark and Twisted Tide (Lacey Flint #4) in Books
Jan 12, 2018
I finished this last night and although it was good, particularly the last few chapters, it didn't grab me as much as I would like. I'm really not sure why this was but maybe it's because I have not read any of the other books in the series so I think I will read more from this author as I did like the writing style, the flow of the book and the characters.
I would like to thank the Publicist (Alison Barrow) for sending me the copy after responding to a post on Twitter.

Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Son of a Witch in Books
Jan 15, 2018
The second installment of the Wicked series focuses on Elphaba's supposed son, Liir. Liir is never quite sure whether or not he really is the son of the Wicked Witch of the West. This book follows Liir on his journeys through Oz. I didnt find it quite as interesting as Wicked perhaps because I have a difficult time picturing the Wicked Witch as a mother, even if she is depicted as a bad one. Liir is interesting enough but I had a tough time connecting with him as the main character.
Clare Parrott (294 KP) rated Claiming His Pregnant Princess in Books
Sep 18, 2017
Dr Princess Beatrice di Jesolo leaves the man she loves (Jamie Coutts) in favor of the man her family wants her to marry. She leaves him on her wedding day and hides in Italy working at a trauma centre but little did she know that Jamie is also working there. The Spark between then is soon ignited again and little does Jamie know of the extra surprise Beatrice is keeping hidden.
An enjoyable, well-written, super sweet second chance romance and the second book in the Italian royals series.

A lot of the book podcasts I've seen are specialized, focusing on a specific genre or series. Annotated is a ranged bookish podcast, with episodes ranging from the stories behind specific books to the publishing industry in general.
They're currently in their second season, and if it's anything like the first, the run is probably going to be short. (Season 1 was only 6 episodes long.)
But they pack a lot of information and a variety of topics into the episodes that they do have.

graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Urban Shaman (Walker Papers, #1) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
I loved this book! Fast, fun, and spirited (in more ways than one!), it was a great, interesting, and unique read with a wonderful heroine. I liked that it deals with both Celtic and American Indian ways, which is really different in the urban fantasy scene. Joanne was very realistic, the plot fascinating, and her sidekick, Gary, was a nice change of pace. While everyone won't like this, I highly recommend reading it anyway. I can't wait to get to get to the sequels, this is definitely one of my favorite new urban fantasy series!
I am so sad I waited so long to start this series. The covers always lead me to believe it was very high fantasy and I am not a fan of that. Lo and behold I adore this book. The switching of perspectives can be crazy hard to follow but at the same time I really enjoying getting a peek at what everyone thinks/is doing. It creates such a complete picture that you can really see each character as being real and tangible instead of just outside help along char.
Cyn Armistead (14 KP) rated The Wild Ways (Gale Women, #2) in Books
Mar 1, 2018
I have yet to read anything by Huff that wasn't enjoyable, but Wild Ways was better than most. The Enchantment Emporium was decent, but it was really just a warm-up for this volume as far as I'm concerned. In fact, the way music and magic are entwined here put me in mind of some of de Lint's work. I look forward to reading more in this series, although part of me is a bit worried that it will be difficult to match the charm of this book again.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2099 KP) rated Catering to Nobody (A Goldy Bear Culinary Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The first in the series, caterer Goldy Bear is upset when her former father-in-law is poisoned at a funeral she is catering. When the police shut her down, she starts digging to find out who did it. I thought the characters were well formed and interesting, but the plot moved a little slow and I had some trouble believing how much the police told her.

Josie Prescott is upset when her friend Rosaline is murdered. Was she murdered because of her tangled love life? Or was it because of the secret treasure she told her teenage sister about? Josie is stronger emotionally then she's been in previous entries in the series, and the story moves along quite well. I wish I could have read it faster because I was enjoying it.
