The Wild Swans ( Timeless Fairytales book 2)
By K M Shea

Elise is the foster-daughter of the King of Arcainia, a mathematician, and the country's treasurer. She is not a hero. But when her step-mother, a wicked witch, curses Elise's seven foster-brothers - the princes of Arcainia - and turns them into swans, Elise is the only one who can save them. To break the curse, she must knit seven shirts made of stinging nettles, but there's a catch. She has to complete the shirts without uttering a word, and if she doesn't finish the task, Arcainia and her foster-brothers will be lost. THE WILD SWANS is a retelling of the German Six Swans fairytale and the Dutch Wild Swans fairytale. It is a story of humor, love, adventure, and magic, and it is part of the top selling Timeless Fairy Tales series - a series comprised of loosely related adaptations of your favorite fairytales. All Timeless Fairy Tales take place in the same world and can be read all together, or as individual, stand-alone books.

I must confess I’d never heard of this fairytale where have I been!! This was beautiful and a sure sign of love and strength. I love K M Shea her books are just so well written. Definitely recommended to those that love retellings of fairytales.

Taking a Whack at Murder
Clark Thomas’s brother is coming for a visit. He hasn’t seen Bo in several years. One thing Bo wants is to play golf on one of the fantastic golf courses throughout the area. Clark arranges for the two of them to join Detective Moody for a round early one Saturday morning. But, the foursome directly ahead of them isn’t the most fun to follow around the course. When they get to one hole with a wicked dogleg, one of that foursome hits their ball into the woods…and never returns. Someone has hit him with a golf club. With Clark on the spot and Moody’s partner out of town, the mayor asks Clark to help out. Will he be able to find the killer?

The mystery in this book was solid, but it needed some good editing. We got too much set up, and there were other passages that could have been shortened or removed. The subplots got short changed as well. There was also too much foreshadowing. But the mystery kept me confused until Clark figured it out. And I do continue to like him. We get a cliffhanger to lead us into the next book which will resolve a major ongoing storyline, and I’m anxious to see what is going on there.
