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!

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.

Amidst this Fading Light, so much tragedy and so much love. It rips at your heart, reading what these families have gone through.The small town always seems to overcome the losses. It thrilled me to see how it all worked out in the end. I definitely recommend this novel. I can't wait to see what Rebecca Davis writes next!
  
A lovely romance novel, with lots of moments that will make you giggle and feel sad, approve and disagree with Very and Johnny's decisions all the time - an adventure that you can't afford to miss this time - especially if you are a book lover and `Pride and Prejudice` is one of the many books you truly love!

If this had been the first Lacey Flint novel I read, honestly, I may have given it another star. The only reason I deducted is because I felt like it pulled too far away from the Flint and Joesbury storyline. But it laid some interesting groundwork that I hope will have been used in the next one.
