Great book

after taking a break from reading over July 4th it took me a while to get into it again. The battle descriptions are becoming a bit tedious.... but I still find the book overall to become more enjoyable. But Arthur, like a 12 year old despite being so called a "King" in the past life started running from battlefront to battlefront, as if the strategic emphasis that he himself had meticulously worded with long strings of boring text were garbage. He left the frontlines to save Tess, then again to save his parents, whom both turned out to not need the saving.

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)

New Heights picks up right where the first book left off and shows Arthur training hard to become stronger in a world full of magic and danger. The action scenes are awesome, and we get to see Arthur level up his powers in some really cool ways. What I liked most is that the book isn’t just about fighting—it also shows Arthur trying to protect his family and figure out who he wants to be. Even though he has crazy powers, he still struggles with things like responsibility and growing up. New Heights is a great read. I liked it even more than the first book.

Very easy read! This is a book about 2 people randomly meeting on New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas. They are both overcoming a breakup.

A perfect desert book and a really heartfelt story!!! ;)

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. :)

Very funny! Enjoyed. Good, easy, light summer read.

This book is kind of ridiculous and dumb, but that’s exactly why I like it. It was a little simple, but nice.

Excellent
