Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated American Royals (American Royals, #1) in Books

Dec 31, 2019

I received a copy of American Royals from Random House Books for Young Readers through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I thought this book had a great premise but was a little disappointed at the lack of history. All we got is that in this verse it is a faux pas to drink tea.
Okayyyy.
The characters are great but there's that lack of communication trope so present in ya novels.

Not For Those With Weak Stomachs

My stomach turned and I was horrified by this read which I completely LOVED!!! The author entrapped me in her fun house and didn't let go until the bitter end.

Outstanding storyline and strong characters. I felt like I was right there and a part of the sideshow.

This book is not intended for young readers or for those with a weak stomach.

Kudos to the author!!!

MaryAnn (14 KP) rated The Watch on the Fencepost in Books

Mar 5, 2019

A WATCH THAT REVEALS MORE THAN JUST THE TIME . . . A mysterious gold watch propels 27-year-old Kathryn Frasier into a quest to prove her parents’ recent deaths were not an accident. Following a trail of cryptic clues, she encounters a remarkable cast of characters, including an actress with a talent for disguises, a politician with a dark secret, and a handsome businessman who shows a sudden romantic interest in Kathryn. Can she solve the mystery before she becomes the next victim?

My Thoughts: This is an excellent mystery that not only keeps the readers' interest but actually keeps them glued to the book. The amusing idea of the hunt for clues was fun for myself and I believe other readers will enjoy that also.

The readers will fall in love with the characters Kathryn and Cece, since they both have interesting personalities that the readers will enjoy.

This was a charming read a story of a young woman losing her parents, but gaining so much more as she learns to trust God and the people around her.

A great read for anyone, especially those who love a good mystery with a smidge of romance added in.
