I devoured this book!
I found the idea of "mermaids" a bit hokey, but decided to give this a try. I'm so glad I did! It's so refreshingly well written and I was hooked after the first page. I love horror stories and have always been fascinated by the Mariana Trench and the Challenger Deep. I can't wait to read more by this author! Oh, and the audiobook is superb. I absolutely loved the narration.

I love how different this book is. It left me turning pages and wanting more because I hadn't seen anything quite like this yet. The main character is such a bad a** and I never once found her dull. While there is romance, this isn't a sappy love story. (0 more)
This is purely commercial fiction, not literary. That's perfectly fine, but that simply means it's not art. Just something to read for fun. (0 more)
A unique read!

The set-up had me hooked for most of the short story, and then it got a <s>little</s> lot silly, and then it ended. So now I don't know what to think. I mean, I liked it, but overall it left me disappointed in where it went.

This story can also be found in the anthology: [b:Rogues|20168816|Rogues|George R.R. Martin|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1404616147s/20168816.jpg|27565413]

Let me start off by saying I am a huge fan of the author. Her time travel romance was wonderful. I went into this book knowing the romance would be top notch swoony and I was not wrong. The dual POV makes the story so much more alive.
I found myself laughing and even shedding a tear or two while reading.
This is the perfect story for anyone who loves gushy romance that has depth
  
The grand reopening of Fromagerie Bessette, a gourmet cheese shop in a small Ohio town, is going well until Charlotte's grandmother is found kneeling over the corpse of a man she was just scene arguing with. The book started out a little slowly, but I quickly got into the characters and story.

When Brooklyn Wainwright is found kneeling over the dead body of her former mentor, she immediately becomes a suspect. But Brooklyn thinks it may have to do with the cursed Faust he was restoring. Can she prove her innocence? The plot had lots of events but didn't move forward quickly. I loved the characters, however.

Sir John Fielding investigates when a family of printers are brutally murdered in 1760's London. This is the second in the series. I loved the characters as much as in the first, but I found the plot way too slow and predictable, with a second plot taking up way too much time.

Peter has to produce an item he doesn't know where is or get dragged back to Turkey. Meanwhile, Grace thinks she's found a lead on a previously unknown Percy Shelley sonnet. This is a bit slower than the previous two stories in the series, but it's still a fun romp with great characters.

This kid's book tells about the adventures of a mouse born to a human family. I remember loving it as a kid, but I didn't really enjoy it this time around. I found Stuart a rather immature character. The story is finally beginning to go somewhere when the book stops.
