Book – The Keeper (2015)
Davis Baldacci’s YA fantasy adventure is a well-plotted quick read. Unfortunately, not the first of the series. Puzzles and plot twists abound.

Book – **** YA love story playing off Beauty and the Beast in a delightful way. A very quick read.
First day at #cac17 excited to engage with storytellers. Fox Deatry who inspired me to start this blog, just told me I needed to move it to Tumblr if I wanted anyone to see it! I’m going to try that this September before NaNoWriMo consumes me.
Book – **** Continuing romance series by Kaylin McFarren following treasure hunters Rachel and Chase’s steamy adventures into a very realistic Japanese setting facing opposition from the Yakuza.
Book – **** Swedish thriller by Joakim Zander that paints that paints a realistic tale of power brokers and the lengths they will go to control their secrets. A fast-paced quick read.
Book – ***+ A dark fantasy, taking the traditional beggar-thief to wizard journey but as a supernaturally empowered assassin. Clever writing—not for kids.
A lovely plot by Gabrielle Zevin. Her characters are drawn with humor and love. The book lauds the world of small bookstores and folks who must read.
Book – ***+ Fantastic post-apocalyptic world where a satellite maintains a habitual zone about the equator and adepts are trained to control earthquake-like powers.
Book – ***+ An enjoyable early fantasy by Cinda Williams Chima with a main character, Jack, who discovers himself a wizard when he stops taking the medicine that’s suppressed his latent talents his whole life.
Book – ***+ Book Three of Cinda Williams Chima’s Seven Realms series had a strong beginning and middle, but failed to wrap up the series or complicate the plot for more adventures by the end which was filled with more pageantry than plot.
