My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I absolutely loved House of Arsceneaux by Caterina Novelliere! The characters were wonderful, the storyline was unpredictable and I could not put it down! Just when I thought I had it figured out, I glanced at the number of pages left and was super curious what major event was going to happen. The fantasy world was intriguing but also believable. Looking forward to reading more of her works! You will definitely enjoy this book- 10/10 recommend!
Secrets of the Sorcery War by Elise Carlson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The story of Ruarnon and his friends continues in part 2 and I loved it as much as the first! The Secrets of the Sorcery War by Elise Carlson continues to paint elaborate lands, vivid imagery, and rich character portrayals. I love how in this book the chapters/sections are divided between Ruarnon and their companion’s perspectives on what’s going on, not just getting one side. You can see the growth and the internal struggles that is facing everyone. This one did take me longer to get through just because there was SO much more going on. Even though it’s a part two in the trilogy, and there are still endings to be concluded, I also love that it didn’t end on an intense cliff hanger until part 3.
Overall very well written and easy to lose yourself in the storyline! Cannot wait for the 3rd.
Trapping the Butterfly by Debra Parmley – Review by Kat Mellon
Trapping The Butterfly by Debra Parmley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved Trapping the Butterfly by Debra Parmley! The characters are believable and relatable. It’s a super easy read, and hard to put down! I read this in one sitting because I just couldn’t put it down. There was romance, exploration, danger and excitement but I would say still appropriate even for mature YA readers. Set in prohibition times, Bethany’s overprotective guardians (aunt and uncle) are determined to continue managing their niece (and her inheritance) by arranging a marriage with an unsavory business partner. While vacationing at the hot springs, Bethany unknowingly befriends a woman who is caught up with a gangster working closely with Al Capone. As she catches the eye of another gangster, Bethany is caught between the excitement and newness of this dangerous world and the safety of her new friend, Paul, a detective undercover watching the mobs activities.
