A River of CrowsA River of Crows by Shanessa Gluhm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a beautifully written novel full of atmospheric storytelling, mystery, a murder, lies, and secrets with well-rounded characters, then this read is for you.

A River of Crows by Shanessa Gluhm is written in 2 timeliness. The past, 1988 when main character, Sloan Hadfield’s went missing after a fishing trip with their father and 20 years later in 2008 as she is forced back to her hometown, where it all happened.

This story was masterfully crafted by the author. The well-rounded and beautifully flawed characters help build the plot that is full of mystery, intrigue, and lies. My weakness is a flawed character, and this book is full of them. The way the story unraveled had me gasping and not wanting to stop reading. This slow burn builds to a blazing fire that will leave you satisfied but so sad that it ended. I was already a fan after reading Enemies of Doves, but this book solidified my need to read everything this author will ever publish.

Magic-Borne (The Crown of Stones, #3)Magic-Borne by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you are a lover of fantasy, magic, and swords, then this series is for you.

Magic-Borne by C.L. Schneider is the 3rd and final book in the Crown of Stones series that is thrilling, fast-paced, and action-packed.

My toxic trait is having an unhealthy love and obsession for flawed characters, so my love for main character Ian Troy was next level. His transformation from anit-hero to hero was well written and great to experience. The supporting characters were just as loveable in different ways and such a joy to read.

The series, but especially this book, was well written with a developed plot full of twists and turns that end in a satisfying conclusion.

The Girl Who EscapedThe Girl Who Escaped by Mark Nolan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a thriller that you can read in one sitting then this is for you.

Mark Nolan packs a quick paced punch in his book The Girl Who Escaped.

A spring break adventure turns deadly for 4 college girls who were just looking to have a fun vacation with no worries. However, the 4 girls were abducted, 3 were murdered and 1 barely escaped. But now, survivor Angie is not being looked at as a victim of a viscous crime, but as a suspect of the horrible murders of her friends.

Its up to FBI agent Brenda Reynolds of the Victim Services Response Team to help clear Angie’s name, help her through her trauma and find the real killer.

This novel takes off right away and doesnt slow down until the end. This was great in some ways because the pace keeps you reading, however it caused it to move a little too quickly without building the storyline and characters in a more well rounded way.

I am interested in picking up some other novels from this author as I can see myself clearing a day, gathering some snacks and finishing one of his novels in one sitting.

Murder Most Pemberley (Eliza Darcy Mysteries Book 1)Murder Most Pemberley by Jessica Berg
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a cozy mystery with a sprinkle of thrill and a large helping of romance then this novel, Murder Most Pemberley by Jessica Berg is for you.

Eliza Darcy is on her way to her Darcy/Bennet family reunion ( yes, THE Darcy and Bennet’s from classic novel Pride and Prejudice). Eliza is on a mission to solve the mystery of her father and uncles estrangement. However, when a murder happens at Pemberley, Eliza summons her inner Agatha Christie and tries to solve both mysteries. Luckily Eliza has help from her fun loving cousin, her adorably crazy great aunt and a hunky new love interest. Will she be able to solve the mysteries while keeping herself safe?

I want to start by saying this novel was adorable. Cozy mysteries are a new found genre for me that I have become smitten with. Although at times I felt this book steered away from cozy mystery and into YA romance, it was still an enjoyable read. I loved the banter between the characters and look forward to seeing how the series continues.

Grab some tea and biscuits and curl up with this adorable, quick read that may have you giggling and smiling along with Eliza.

Enemies of DovesEnemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beautifully written novel full of mystery, secrets and both familial and romantic love. Enemies of Doves by Shanessa Gluhm is a book that will stay with you long after you read the last page.

Joel and Clancy Fitchett have a horrific encounter in the year 1932 at the young ages of 12 and 11. They won’t talk about it, but it left wounds deep that you couldn’t see as well as a scar on Joel’s face. 13 years later, as they still struggle with the past, a future personified as the beautiful Lorraine threatens to create even deeper scars.

In 1991, Garrison Stark is on a mission to find Clancy Fitchett who has been missing since 1946. Finding him will mean finding his biological grandfather and the possibility of finding a new family.

At times, when stories are told in multiple time lines from multiple points of views, the story can get muddled and confusing. However, Gluhm wove this story seamlessly with rich, flawed characters that flowed and kept you not wanting to stop turning the page.

Curl up with this book, some coffee or tea and enjoy this tale of deception, family, love, loss and finding the truth.
