This book was a great book to read if you want to be in a fantastical town that is very much like your own town. Vivian and Daniel find themselves in a new town but not any town. It is a town full of magical people. When their daughter was “accidentally” turned into a werewolf by the wayward son of the richest and most powerful werewolf family in the area,Vivian and Daniel most learn how to fit into the mages world wild trying to figure out how to handle their daughter, Aria’s, ability to turn into a wolf. With a pushy PTA, a missing money scandal and the coming of The Reckoning, can Vivian survive her new life and still make friends in her community? This was a fun read that you can really compare to your days of volunteering in the PTA.

The Frozen River is a historical fiction murder mystery that centers around Martha Ballard ( who actually is a real person, a midwife whose diaries are a rich resource for this novel). A dead person ( villainous) has been discovered in a block of ice and Martha, using her tremendous assets of courage and sense of justice, as she champions women's rights, must discover what happened. Between death, illness, rape, miscarriage and loss of children, these rights were pretty much non existent in 18 th century America.

Too many words - too many commas. Difficult to read.

I really enjoyed reading this mystery/ thriller. It was interesting slowly learning the facts about Savvy’s murder through Ben’s podcast. He interviews several people in Lucy and Saavy’s town to find answers to the Whodunnit. I enjoy Lucy’s character and friendship with Saavy

I love Neal Shusterman. His concepts and syntax are always so, so engaging and this one was no different. The premise is: what if an epidemic virus made you perfectly content if you survived it? Sounds great, except capitalism relies on peoples' miseries and insecurities. Multiple storylines weave around each other to create a fast-paced and thought-provoking story.

The best part of Johnny Careless by Kevin Wade were the acknowledgements. There was very little I liked about this novel. I didn't care about any of the characters - they were one dimensional - there was no character growth - they just moved along at a snails pace just like the plot.

Sweet romance book. Nice characters. Highly recommend for a summer beach read.

For me this is the perfect summer read. It has the backdrop of the lake in Canada and the cabin, it is a light, easy fun read and it is a romance. The characters were fun and easy to connect with.

A prominent lawyer murdered: two sisters, vastly different and estranged, one is his widow, the other, not only her sister but his x wife. A son, staying with his dad and stepmom (his aunt) but secretly in touch with his biological mother, is accused of the murder. A twisty surprising novel. Much enjoyed.

Vera Wong lives above her teashop in San Francisco's Chinatown. One morning she wakes up to find a dead body in the shop. She decides to figure out who did it. It's cute and funny, especially listening to the audiobook.
