Murder Among FriendsMurder Among Friends by Linda Burson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Murder Among Friends is an incredibly entertaining romantic mystery. Main character Cammy is incredibly smart and seems to notice every little detail. All of the character development was beautifully written and it seems each character grew as the story went on. Just when I thought it was predictable, Linda Burson (author) throws in plot twist after plot twist.
I felt that the character’s names in the dialogue was overused, but that is probably because it is written in third person-present tense. It is hard to write in that tense and be able to keep up with characters if you don’t use names. That is the only reason I gave it four stars.
I definitely recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an adorable short story based out of Australia. Although reading it in third person wasn’t a problem, it was hard to keep up with who’s side of things the author was talking about. The switch between the two characters happened back and forth throughout the story and there wasn’t much of a re-intro to the characters. It just flowed back and forth between thoughts and actions of the two main characters.
Otherwise, adorable story, fun, quick read. It was enjoyable! I would definitely read this author’s work again!

Scarlet Princess by Robin D. Mahle and Elle Madison – Review by Meg Jones

Scarlet Princess (The Lochlann Feuds, #1)Scarlet Princess by Robin D. Mahle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve realized after reading this novel that this is the second generation from the Lochlann feuds. Princess Rowan is a very strong and independent young lady that is comical, sarcastic and witty. The two feuding kingdoms don’t seem too far off from each other, and yet they are completely different. As a mother of four girls, I would say that this book is clean enough for most teens. There is a bit of romance in it, but nothing too dirty.

A Divided Mind by M. Billiter – Review by Meghan Jones

A Divided MindA Divided Mind by M. Billiter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mental illness is always a hard one to describe and give it justice. The author did an amazing job doing so in The Divided Mind. I definitely felt the struggle that the family had to deal with along with the “patient”. The way that the author takes clinical terms and breaks them down through the character’s voices is so helpful in understanding this mental illness. Although I didn’t have much knowledge about the topic, I definitely felt like I ended the book having a lot more empathy and understanding for those who deal (family and patients) with mental illness of any kind. This is a very believable storyline, and I loved it.
