Loved it! The original premise sounded straightforward, but don't be fooled--there are tons of twists and turns! Can't say much more without spoiling, but if you're looking for a fast-paced, fun read, this is for you!

Renegades is a super exciting book about heroes and villains. It follows Nova, who hates the Renegades, and Adrian, who’s one of them but has a big secret vigilante identity. The story is full of action, cool powers, and twists that keep you hooked. I liked how it made you think about what makes someone a hero or a villain. If you like superhero stories with a twist, this book is worth reading.

A breazy, but thought-provoking quick read. For me, the right balance between the farcical and the fantastic as I always want to believe that good will win out of evil. Recommend

Very profound book on the subject of life and death, written in an everyday verse.

Goodreads review - Thank you to Charlie Donlea, Between the Chapters Book Club and Kensington Publishers for an ARC of Guess Again. I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I am a HUGE fan of Charlie Donlea's because he writes a mystery unlike any other author I've come across. I've read everything he's written. Thankfully I don't retain books well so I can always go back and reread in a couple of years. Guess Again has many characters in a Wisconsin setting. Ethan Hall is an ER doctor after he resigned as a detective who had a 100% solve rate for the crimes he investigated. He's contacted by Pete Kramer, his old partner to help solve a cold case involving a teen who vanished. That teen, Callie Jones, is the now governor Mark Jones' daughter. Ethan agrees to take a look at the case in his spare time. Ethan discovers details about the case that didn't come to light during the initial investigation. Ethan is also a victim of crime - his father was a police officer who was murdered. There are so many details and characters that I always wonder how it will all come together - especially as more details continue thoroughout the storyline. But, Mr. Donlea always brings everything all together in the ending. I also sincerely appreciate that he explains all the details in the ending so there aren't any confusing loose ends. Again - as with all of Mr. Donlea's books, I was NOT able to figure out whodunit. That's also why I enjoy his books so much. I don't want to give away the ending but I will say that I gasped twice at things revealed. Best ending yet.

This is a great sequel to The Storm Runner. This book centers around Maya and Aztec mythology. There is the tiniest bit of romance that sneaks in, but it’s very funny and the romance gets covered up. Mostly. :)

It was mysterious adventure book . It's about a boy in a village with poisonous berries

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I've read one of Ms. Cambridge's other books in her other series, The Phyllida Bright mystery series and very much enjoyed it. Although this is the 3rd book in her An American in Paris Mystery and I took all three out from my local library, I started with this one first. I love a ballgown and fashion and knew I'd love this book. I knew of the inclusion of Julia Child as a character and it was so much fun to imagine her cooking and being friends with Tabitha. I watched Julia Child when I was younger and loved to think of her cooking and trying to teach Tabitha how to make crepes, etc. Tabitha lives in Paris with her Grand-pere and his partner, her Oncle Rafe. The "attic" setting where she lives in their home sounds like the perfect little room in Paris. Especially with that private bath. Although I haven't read the other two books yet, it did come out in this book that Tabitha has discovered other bodies - numerous other bodies. She's helped the local inspector with solving the crimes before and helps him solve these. I really enjoyed his constant smirks and sighs at her insistence in helping him. All of the fashions, the mannequins, the Dior history of Chrisitan and his sister, were all written so well. I learned a lot of about Paris history and fashion. I'm eager to start the first book, Mastering the Art of French Murder, next. (from my Goodreads review)

Very Interesting

I have always loved school arcs in fantasy series as I get to see the character develop and interact with others at their age. This is especially true with Aurthor as soon after he joins the school he humbles an angry teacher and becomes the professor for that class, which was really cool.
