Serendipity Mystery: Diary of a Snoopy Cat — R.F. Kristi
The plotline of this children’s book was engaging and enjoyable to read for both adults and children, and the book incorporated relatable animal protagonists, promoting animal welfare. The title of the book and the intended lesson on the concept of serendipity was extremely clever.
Opaque — Calix Leigh-Reign
Although I found the concept of this book intriguing, the poor writing style and confusing narrative clouded my overall enjoyment. Though this book did not resonate with me personally, some readers will likely enjoy the creative plotline and important messages.
Yesterday — Samyann
The only parts of this book that kept me somewhat engaged were the flashbacks into 19th century Charleston and Chicago, and I even felt these parts could have been developed further as its primary function was to highlight Amanda’s instability in her own life. My dislike of Amanda and Mark made it difficult to support their relationship. Their romance was irritating and trite, and at some points even a bit misogynistic. If the book was solely focused on Mark and Amanda’s romance, I would have put it down long before the ending.
Blanket Immunity — Adam Van Susteren
Well-written, with unpredictable plot twists and an engaging story, Blanket Immunity far exceeded my expectations of a legal thriller and captivated me from start to finish. This is absolutely not a book filled with dry legalese; this book is an exciting crime/thriller novel, told through the eyes of a criminal defense lawyer.
Strong Heart — Charlie Sheldon
A fictional novel about the Olympic National Park in Washington state, this book was slow to start but eventually I was intrigued, especially by references to long-standing archaeological theories. I wish the book had a better final resolution.
