I loved how after lashing out with anger he gets punished too severely but then the gods themselves come to save him and he goes onan awesome training ark with the gods of his world

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. This is the first book in the series An American in Paris. I read the third book the other day and am starting the second book tomorrow. I really loved the third book and loved this one as well. I especially liked learning more about Tabitha's arrival in Paris, her reactions to Paris, her first meeting with Julia, etc. The descriptions of Paris were wonderful - I can easily imagine the cream colored buildings with black railings. Tabitha learns a woman has been found dead in the cellar of Julia's building and proceeds to enter the cellar in hopes of helping to discover what happened. Since her father is a cop and she's always read mystery books, she thinks she may be helpful. The local inspector heartily disagrees with her. I loved their interactions and how clearly Ms. Cambridge describes his facial expressions while dealing with Tabitha. I also loved her Grand-pere and Oncle Rafe as well as the pets. Her lack of cooking skills made me laugh and reading a character that is supposed to be Julia Child was fun as well. I'm excited to read the second book. (from my Goodreads review)

Entertaining read about 1920's small town life.

Good book.

This book is a nice fantasy and an adventure filled story that really connects the reader in this new world and this strange ice queen, plus the storyline is amazing ?? ??.

I love Rio and loved hearing his own love story! It was definitely a slow first half a the book but I enjoyed it once it picked up!

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I am admittedly not usually the reader who loves fantasy but I knew from reviews that I wanted to read When the Tides Held the Moon by Venessa Vida Kelley. The cover is eye-catching with the graphic of Benny and the merman. I loved the oceanic colors used for it. Benny is on his own in life after losing his aunt. He has come to America and is working as a blacksmith. Benny has difficulties with his breathing and being in an environment such as a metal shop really affects his health. Benny is a talented blacksmith and his art is noticed by the owner of one of the local amusement parks - Luna Park in Coney Island. Benny is hired to build a large tank for a new exhibit and isn't told of all the details. Benny finds himself becoming attached to the new exhibit - a real merman from the ocean. I loved Benny's compassion and moral struggles within himself and with the merman. The other characters in the book that make up the menagerie were also such a great group of characters to read about. My two favorite parts in this book were the illustrations and the storyline. The illustrations added to the story and worked together with the cover. I usually don't read much fantasy but this was such a good story. (from my Goodreads review)

I’m curious as to how much the co-authors add to each Patterson novel.

I loved the selection series so much. It was the best!!!??

Wonderful story of a Mi'kmaq family from Nova Scotia who go to Maine each summer to pick blueberries and their youngest daughter goes missing. This event follows the lives of the rest of the family and how they coped with the loss and always kept hope in finding Ruthie. Excellent character development and the writing style is compelling, A 5 star for me!
