ClareR (5911 KP) rated Dear Child in Books
Feb 26, 2023
Lena disappeared 14 years ago - without a trace. But her parents haven’t given up on her. So when they hear about a woman who has been involved in a traffic accident, they rush to the hospital, hoping that it’s their daughter. She matches the description.
Lena has lived in a windowless shack for 14 years, following every order her husband demands. When to eat, when to sleep, when to use the toilet. Their two children have never left their home, kept safe, hidden away from the rest of the world.
Lena hopes that her nightmare will have ended now that she has escaped, but it seems there is no end in sight.
Dear Child is a tense, dark read. The violence isn’t gratuitous, I felt, and what violence there was moved the story on. What particularly stayed with me was a feeling of uncertainty. Even when Lena’s identity is determined, I was never quite sure if she was who she said she was, and I don’t think she knew either.
If you like a slower paced thriller with more than a hint of menace, this will be the book for you.

Merissa (13100 KP) rated Cursed (Beholder, #1) in Books

This is primarily a Fantasy tale, with magic and misuse of the same, throughout the book. I loved how the Sisters of Zelle were described, and the necromancer/creator magics were opposite and yet complementary if given the opportunity. The characters, whether they were good or bad, were all believable and well-rounded.
There is a hint of romance between Elea and Rowan, but it most definitely takes second place in the main story.
Well written, with no editing or grammatical errors that I found, this is a wonderful start to a new series and I look forward to returning to the Beholder world! Definitely recommended.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2379 KP) rated Charlotte Illes is Not a Detective in Books
Jul 1, 2023 (Updated Jul 1, 2023)
Since I read about fictional child detectives as a kid, the premise of this one sounded like fun. I don’t think I was the target audience since many of the characters are queer Millennials, but for the most part, that wasn’t an issue. Still, there were a few moments that made me prickle a little. But that was minor. Charlotte and her two best friends make a fun trio, and I enjoyed watching them grow as the book progressed. The rest of the cast is great, too. The pacing was uneven in the middle, but we still reached a logical conclusion with several twists along the way. There was plenty of humor, quite often coming from the banter of the main trio. There are quite a few four letter words, but as long as you know that, you’ll be fine. Overall, this really was a fun debut, and I’m glad I picked it up.
