Part coming of age, part runaway, and part girl-power. This book is a good story that has an urban fantasy twist that isn’t too far out from reality. Our main character Miranda starts to develop powers. In her terror of her ultra conservative family, and the tales of women like her going missing she packs up what she thinks she needs and what cash she has and runs. At the age of 16, she thinks she knows how to survive, but she finds out different. However, her character growth from terrified teen to strong young woman is believable and well written. The peripheral details are the only things I feel are lacking. They would help to enrich the story a great deal, but the story is still very well done. I look forward to the rest of the series.

Brazeau – Review by Jess Dimmock
The Salem Witch Trials has always been a fascination of mine, and this is a fun fictional modern Salem Witch Trials. Although the story moved slowly, I couldn’t put it down! Brazeau brought a lot of light and humor to what could have easily been a dark and gloomy story. The story was well written with unforgettable characters. I couldn’t wait to finish it and have my 13 year old read it as well so we could discuss. 5 out of 5 for sure!

Brazeau – Review by Erin DeRoma
This was a book I could not help but love! I related to it so very much! I am someone who feels different option, and wants to fit in as much as Miranda did. Loved how real she was!
Miranda had a life that was set to be like her family. I enjoyed how realistic it was , hearing how her family was and how she was raised. I truly felt for her when she discovered in fact how different she was! I loved how her feelings were valid, and how magical she was, she went for a new life. To start fresh, and to be who she really was. The book was amazing and magical for me! I loved the author’s writing style as well!
A must read for sure! I have read many books by this author, and this one certainly does not disappoint at all. I highly recommend this must read book and author!

This is a fun filled YA fantasy story that I found myself being pulled in by straight away. I loved that the book was set in New Orleans. It felt like the author must have really captured what it is like and I found I could image the scenes with ease. I really enjoyed the mix of characters in the book. With everything going on within the City I liked how they each added something to the overall story while Miranda still shone as the heroine. This author really knows how to bring a diverse range to her work and this is another success to add to the list.

I really enjoyed this book, it was a fun mix of magic entering the real world and how it could affect different people. I have read several books by this author and this one is definitely one of my favorites. The characters were well developed, the plot was original and fun, and overall the story flowed perfectly. There is a second part to this story so don’t expect everything to be wrapped up in a little bow. Personally I can’t wait to read the next part.

Brazeau – Review by Stephanie Nicole
Self-discovery, growing up and magic This is the first part of The Emergence Duology and lays a foundation for our MC., Miranda. I really liked the story and was swept away with Miranda’s journey of self-discovery, friendships and life challenges. I am really keen to explore the magical side as now I feel relationships are set up and the stage is set for more to come. I enjoyed the flow of the story and the way the author interspersed the humour to balance some of the heavier aspects of the story. Looking forward to second part in book 2.

Brazeau – Review by Rayne East
Miranda Stone is a typical sixteen year old girl from a conservative family. When she all of a sudden developed magical powers, she knew her parents would not take it well so she decided to flee. Miranda took what little money she had and went to New Orleans to become a singer. She finds a cheap motel and starts her new life. Instantly she becomes friends with her neighbours Billie and Neeta. She finds a job being an opener for a drag club and thinks that she can find a new life here.
Unfortunately this isn’t the case. Women from all over the world are developing the same powers as Miranda and then have gone missing after being found out. Miranda starts to fear for her life along with the others while trying to maintain a somewhat normal life. Miranda even meets the girl of her dreams. She knows love is a bad idea with everything going on but she can’t help the instant intense connection she has with this girl.
This book was exciting and reminded me of a more modern day of the Salem witch trials. Men all around the world are turning in these women to never be seen again. I did find the book was slower paced than I would have liked but still kept my full attention. I will be looking forward to the next installment!

The Magical Summer of Miranda Stone (The Emergence Duology #1) by A.D. Brazeau
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. The Magical Summer of Miranda Stone is the first book in the Emergence Duology Series. The book is well written and hard for me to put down.
Miranda gets powers and runs away. She doesn’t want to be caught by anyone. When she meets others that befriend her she finds that they all have hidden powers. Can they survive? The quote I chose for Miranda is: “Thank you, so much. I haven’t had time to eat, yet.”

Brazeau-Review by Amanda Kimble
The Magical Summer of Miranda Stone is the first instalment in The Emergence Duology by A.D. Brazeau. This is a YA fantasy, with magical realism, self-discovery, music, fun, friendship, romance, drama, complication, challenges, humour, and quirky characters. I thought it was a great ‘start’ to the story, but as this is a duology, the story is set to continue in book #2. I was intrigued by the story and characters and thought the setting of New Orleans, the fact that our mc is a runaway 16 year-old, friendship, ‘found’ family, and self-discovery added an interesting element to the well thought out and woven storyline. I would have liked to have seen/explored more of the magical side of the plot…. but will wait to see what develops in Book #2. Happy reading!

I really enjoyed this story. It was a fun mixture of magic entering the real world and how it affects people. The author does an amazing job with the characters and really brings them and magic to life.The author does a good job with the story itself and the likely to the going ons around the Salem witch trials was a really nice touch mixing history with fantasy.
I love Miranda’s character. All she wants is to be a typical teenager but that all changes when women start to find they have magical powers. At first she is scared and unsure but it’s nice to see her character grow and become more of a confident person as the story progresses. I love how the story slowly unravels. The author keeps us guessing and wondering what will happen which keeps me gripped to a story. I can’t wait to see what happens next

Brazeau – Review by Kerry Carr
I really like AD’s work as you never know what you she will come up with next and when I saw this book, I jumped at the chance to get started. The Magical Summer of Miranda Stone is a fun YA supernatural tale set in the magical, musical world of New Orleans and is book one in The Emergence Duology.
It’s easy to compare the story to that of Salem and the witch trials as the women of the world suddenly find themselves able to do magic. But it’s not all doom and gloom quite the opposite as there is humour to be found.
Despite the world being in turmoil and authorities lurking sixteen-year-old Miranda finds a new family with quirky friends and an unexpected romance.
Find out for yourself what happens when Miranda finds herself singing as the opening act for a drag show.

I fell in love with this story. Miranda. She has an amazing story. The summer she hits her teen, magic starts leaking out of her hands. All of sudden, everyone including family, looks at her funny. Women are disappearing so she runs away to New Orleans. From there, the drama happens. Right from the start, it feels reminiscent of the Salem Witch Trials. I found the story exciting, scary, adventurous, and interesting. Here she is 16 and off to do her own thing by necessity. I found the descriptions in the book perfect for the imagination. The characters were well-developed and just perfect for the story (unique and very quirky). A perfect YA fantasy story. I can’t wait to read the next one.

A teenage runaway, New Orleans, 90s alt ballads, and emerging magical powers—this summer is shaping up to be anything but normal.
16-year-old Miranda Stone wants to be a typical teenager, but when she, and women around the globe, develop magical powers, typical flies right out the window.
Miranda, feeling like danger could be lurking, runs away to New Orleans. New friendships and a job singing as the opener for a drag show, reveal to her how fun life can be. When her friends begin to develop their own powers, and the world erupts, staying off the authorities’ radar becomes more difficult. An unforeseen romance with a young woman compounds the complications. Bittersweet, real, and humorous, this novel is an exploration of love, found family, and how the world might react to supernaturally powerful women.

Murder in the lightning room is one of those books that is so different from any other book you’ve read. I’m always excited to learn about history, and lately I’ve been digging into a lot of non fiction books. I was excited to read this as you find out that the main character Cora is living at the time of Nikola Tesla, and working so hard to solve the mystery behind his apprentice’s disappearance. With every chapter I was just itching to find out what Cora would find out next. When I realized she was basically investigating the disappearance I was even more invested in the book. I could barely put it down! I’m looking forward to more of the authors work. The twists and turns and the story telling ability if the author was very vivid! I literally read books just to escape d somewhere and this book does not disappoint!

This book has a very relatable, strong, young female main character. She is given the opportunity to assist Nikola Tesla in his secret lab, just after his last assistant has been found dead. She finds Tesla a strange man, but wants to work with him for a good recommendation. She takes it upon herself to help solve the murder of his previous assistant and find some missing paperwork. Good twist at the end. I really enjoyed this book.

I love historical fiction and mysteries, so this book was definitely something in my normal genre. I liked that there were real people in the story that I could connect with what I know about historical figures, but put an original twist on it. I liked that it kept me on the edge of my seat and made it hard to put down. I found myself invested in what would happen next to the characters, especially Cora. This was the first book I read from this author, but I look forward to reading more.

This historical mystery is different than my normal eveyday reads (romance) but I really enjoyed it. It was nice diving into a mystery because I had figure out what was happening along with the main characters. There’s alot of elements to thus story, theres mystery and secrets and some twists and turns that I didn’t see coming and well… you can’t forget MURDER. This was one I’d recommend if you like historic mysteries! I liked this authors writing style alot so I will be looking for more books by them in the future! Happy Reading!

Set in year 1899 in Colorado Springs, this book follows the young protagonist Cora work with famous Nikola Tesla in his secret lab . She assists Tesla in his detective work to unravel the mystery behind the murder of his assistant. She faces opposition from her own mother but she hangs on with her friends. It is a well narrated plot and the mystery lingers till the end. It is one of those stories which has a very strong female lead, in the times, when women were struggling to establish their footage. I enjoyed this book quite a bit and look forward to more from this author.

Once again our author knocks it out of the park. I have read this author before and she is quickly becoming one of my favorites, her writing is just simply amazing and she always manages to keep me on the edge of my seat. This book really had a little bit of everything mystery, intrigue, twists and turns, and of course murder. While I am not much for the historical genre, our author really grabbed my attention with this one. I thought I had it all figured out but by the end of the novel and the authors wonderful plot twists, I was all wrong. So if you need a good mystery to make you think, then pick this one up today.

Well this story felt like it has it all. Historical fiction – check. Mystery and intrigued – check. Interesting characters – check. A great storyline- check. I did not take long at all for me to become invested in this book. I wanted to figure out the mystery and see what was going on. The author really draws you into the book and takes you on the same journey as the characters. I thought the book was really well written. It was so easy to imagine the time and place the author were describing. At times I felt like I could really picture myself there, right among the characters. This book was a great one to read and I really enjoyed it from start to finish. Definitely a book worth picking up to read!

I was completely hooked from start to finish! I loved the very creatively written story that takes us back in time so vividly you really can imagine everything as if you are right there with the characters. Speaking of characters I really liked Cora, as the lead character. She is smart and intriguing. The author added in some fabulous twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting at all. If you like YA mystery then this is definitely the book for you!

Cora Croft is a high school senior that gets the chance to be Nikola Tesla’s assistant. This is a wonderful chance for Cora; especially at a time that saw it as unusual for women to pursue such things. This assignment leads her into a world of murder and intrigue. I always enjoy reading this author. They really have a knack for a grand retelling of historical situations. As always a great plot and well-written characters lead the way. The plot sucks you in and the characters are relatable. Murder in the Lightning Room is a definite page-turner.

This book transports you to the Gilded Age and keeps a grip on you through the end! The author clearly is knowledgeable about this time period and location; these details make the pages come to life. Written in an adapted Old English style, it feels as though someone from that time period wrote it.
I have read many historical books about this period (and Nikola Tesla) both fiction and non-fiction, and this book is up there as one of my favorites. The messaging is consistent with historical figures and events, and the characters are well defined. The story is fun, engaging, and thrilling. A murder, some science, witty banter – all make for an engaging tale that I didn’t want to end! The suspects kept me guessing until the end, and wasn’t entirely what I anticipated!
I will be searching out other books by this author! Very well written.

When I saw the cover of this book I was already intrigued. This YA Historical story is a murder mystery and I thoroughly enjoyed.
Cora was approached with an opportunity to be an assistant for none other than Nikola Tesla. Cora would embark on this only get wrapped up in more than experiments…..there is a mystery to solve…. one of Nikola Tesla’s previous assistants death and documents that come up missing. Cora volunteers to help find out what happened so Tesla stays to finish his work and no leave to go back to New York. As the pieces are put together in this mystery…..danger lurks and secrets and twists come along the way. Will Cora uncover the truth with the aid of Harrison and Marshall?
This book was a fun read and the story flowed so well. Cora is smart and strong character and I loved her in this book.
