March's Wrap up

Image
For the Calendar of Crime I had to read a book in which the title has a word starting with M. The book was All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda. It was originally published in July 2016. So it is not very old as of yet but I had not heard anything about it before but picked it up because it was categorized as a mystery/thriller.  It is about a girl who has moved away from the small town where she grew up after the disappearance of her best friend. She is forced to return when economic distress hunts her family by then her father is already living in a home and is suffering dementia.  The story is told in a very annoying for my taste. It goes a bit backward after she arrives at her home town another person goes missing after being asking around about the girl who went missing all those years ago. Now Analice, the young woman who went missing bring light to the missing case of the girl who went missing a decade ago (Corrine). Nicolette is an annoying person because...

Author: Carlie Sorosiak  Genre: Contemporary, Magical Realism Original publication date: June 2018 Book Description (from Good Reads):  Ask anyone in Winship, Maine, and they’ll tell you the summer camp Quinn’s family owns is a magical place. Paper wishes hang from the ceiling. Blueberries grow in the dead of winter. According to local legend, a sea monster even lurks off the coast. Mostly, there’s just a feeling that something extraordinary could happen there. Like Quinn falling in love with her best friend, Dylan. After the accident, the magic drained from Quinn’s life. Now Dylan is gone, the camp is a lonely place, and Quinn knows it’s her fault. But the new boy in town, Alexander, doesn’t see her as the monster she believes herself to be.

  Series: Precious stone trilogy #3  Author: Kerstin Gier Translator: Anthea Bell Genre: Fantasy Original publication date: December 8, 2010 Book description:  Gwen has a destiny to fulfill, but no one will tell her what it is. She’s only recently learned that she is the Ruby, the final member of the time-traveling Circle of Twelve, and since then nothing has been going right. She suspects the founder of the Circle, Count Saint-German, is up to something nefarious, but nobody will believe her. And she’s just learned that her charming time-traveling partner, Gideon, has probably been using her all along. Emerald Green is the stunning conclusion to Kerstin Gier's Ruby Red Trilogy, picking up where Sapphire Blue left off, reaching new heights of intrigue and romance as Gwen finally uncovers the secrets of the time-traveling society and learns her fate. Thoughts The last book in the trilogy. So again how can you review it without spoiling or just repeating the same thing...

The Blinding Knife

Image
Author: Brent Weeks  Narrator: Simon Vance Length: 671 pages; 24 hours Genre: Fantasy Book Description (from Scribd):  Gavin Guile is dying. He'd thought he had five years left--now he has less than one. With fifty thousand refugees, a bastard son, and an ex-fiancée who may have learned his darkest secret, Gavin has problems on every side. All magic in the world is running wild and threatens to destroy the Seven Satrapies. Worst of all, the old gods are being reborn, and their army of color wights is unstoppable. The only salvation may be the brother whose freedom and life Gavin stole sixteen years ago. Thoughts: The story feels more gripping and you feel you can't put it down. It is faster paced in part because the magic system is already explained and we follow Kip trying to train to become a Black Guard and train his abilities. There is a lot more of the political intrigues being revealed, partly because of Gavin, Andros (the prism's father) and the other satra...
