Predictable and Disappointing. A nice feel good book, but I expected more.

The author’s style is difficult to read. The storyline is interesting.

This book was not for me. It wasn't as well written, and it was full of too many plot points. Plus, most of those plot points were entirely unnecessary. The story was full of sci-fi clichés. There were no characters worth rooting for or caring about, and anything they did wrong, led to zero consequences.

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.

A member of Three Pines community was found dead and inspector Gamache is called to investigate

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

A woman goes to Italy to try and find out about her family's past and ends up finding herself. Excellent book - highly recommend!

I really loved this. I am already a big Sager fan. But I liked that this novel changed his usual formula. Normally Sager's books involve someone in an old house or area, figuring out an old mystery from their past. But in this case, this was all about knowing what happened and searching for revenge/justice. There were also the usual twists. Some were predictable (one especially so), but some were unexpected and none of them detracted to the story. It can be difficult to read a train mystery without thinking of the Orent Express but I loved this story as it showed the different ways we look for justice.

Very interesting story around a true event about a flying race across the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii.

A beautifully written historical novel by one of my favorite authors. Eliza Rivers, 88 years old, tells the story of her childhood growing up on Mayfield, her family's estate/farm to her grand-niece and granddaughter. She wants them both to understand how important it is to her to conserve the land and hopes they will join her in her fight. It is a very emotional story of family, young love, friendship, and betrayal.
