Is Tara Hiding a Secret? Or Just Hiding?
After the Athena College receives a large collection of rare books, Charlie Harris hires an assistant to help him catalogue them in a timely manner. Tara Martin keeps to herself; in fact, she’s almost antisocial. Charlie begins to think there is something more to it after she ducks out of a party with hardly any excuse. Then someone runs her down. Can Charlie figure out what is going on?

The plot of this book is fine. Charlie’s investigation makes since given his job at the college archives, and he keeps encountering the suspects and gaining more insight from them. One thing was left dangling from an otherwise logical climax. However, there are several things that needed a good edit to resolve, including timeline issues among others. The saving grace is the characters. All the regulars, both human and animal, are present and their normal charming shelves. I do enjoy spending time with them. Fans will feel the same way, but if you are new to the series, don’t jump in here.

A great binge read
The Dreamers is about a mysterious virus that sweeps through a small college town, and follows a few key characters as they cope with the spreading disease. I really enjoyed following the main characters as they navigated the fear of contracting the disease, when loved ones are effected, and being separated from loved ones. I will say, the ending was kind of disappointing, but I enjoyed the entire book so much that I didn't really mind the lackluster ending.
