Read this in one day! I loved the premise of this novel and the mystery. It is science fiction but based somewhere close to reality. The characters don't fly around in spaceships or anything like that. This was a fast read and really grabbed my attention. I'm looking forward to the sequel coming out in December!

Magical! This is a bit of a fluff novel but it's really sweet. I didn't expect too much going into it but turned out to really enjoy it. I wish there was a little more character development as far as the major supporting characters but it was tidied all up in a bow. Do you believe in magic?

Dualing mysteries about the missing months of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his missing diary from that time. Both were interesting, but I thought the ending was darker in tone than the rest of the novel had been.

Head to head battle system
Super Innovative 2 person handheld game, it's head to head dogfighting that easy to travel with.
This is such a novel idea, and I love the leather covers, the old style drawings and illustrations. It's not too difficult, and not that deep, but it's fun thing to pick up and play.

I believe this is a debut novel and if Iam correct it was an great start! I loved the uncertainty of the main character and the fact that she made mistakes. It made it way more realistic. The flow of the story went well and was very readable. I hope there is more to come from this author.

Couldn't put it down!
This book is amazing! A diverse set of twenty somethings embark on a great adventure. There's espionage, political savvy, action, and magic! The characters are so relatable!
Not only does Caruso provide intriguing plots and clever dialogue but the themes she explores are thought provoking and deep.
I recommend this novel for anyone and everyone!

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated The Ocean at the End of the Lane in Books
Jul 10, 2018
This was an enjoyable read. It was pure, simple, and wonderful.
The characters did lack some depth, yet I felt that it was more of a writing style and not lack of writing skills. The story took place when the main character was young and therefore it felt simple.
I liked how different this novel was.

I started this novel on a whim, not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I adored it. I started reading it because I named my kitten Athena so I was getting into Greek gods.
I am excited to read more of this series and follow Percy on his next adventures.
