After being drawn to the bright, beautiful cover and meeting Annabel Monaghan at a bookstore, Summer Romance was the first of her books I’ve read. I loved this one and now I’m ready to read all the rest! A super cute romance about a divorced single parent, this book is more than just a summer romance!

Recommended to me by my 16 yr old granddaughter. Not the type of book I usually read but it was a very good story

This book was alright. It was kind of like a “what happens after the Aristocats movie.” It was sweet and funny, but it didn’t appeal to me like a 5 star book would.

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

I love twilight so much!! I love the whole series and the movies!! In my opinion the books are way better than the movies due to detail, but I absolutely love the movies too!! But this book review is about the first book! The first book is very good and it explains how the two main characters (Bella, Edward) fall in love!! This story teaches a lot about love and while keeping it interesting, mysterious, and dark. With LOTS of fantasy too!!

Thank you to Kathleen Kaufman, Between the Chapters Book Club and Kensington Publishers for an ARC of The Entirely True Story of the Fantastical Mesmerist Nora Grey. I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I knew I had to read this book based on the title alone. And, yes, Nora Grey is fantastic as a character and so much more. I do want to note how much I enjoyed the author's dedication and author notes - both gave me so much info as well as made me laugh. Nora (originally Nairna) and her father Tavish (always goes by Tavish) are fraudsters. Tavish is charming and could sell anyone anything. Nora is not as much as a fraudster but doesn't understand her psychic gifts. She's so used to living on the streets with her father, eating trashed food and feeling starved most of the time. She also feels guilty about tricking people while reading her grandmother's seer cards for them. Nora is discovered by a woman who sees Nora's psychic gifts and the strength of those gifts. She brings Nora -and Tavish, partly - into her home to help Nora hone her skills. Unfortunately, women with psychic gifts were often considered witches and were frowned upon in society during the time of Nora's lifetime. Nora and her father often clash and I found their relationship one of the most intriguing thoroughout the story. She loves her father but is tired of providing for him then feels guilty for not appreciating the little he does for her. There are many characters that were easy to like/dislike that added to Nora's story. I don't give away spoilers. I will say I loved Nora becoming stronger in her gifts and I really loved how serious she was about being honest. The second half of the book finds Nora and Tavish in a new setting which I loved reading about. I was - I hate to use the word mesmerised - by her readings, the settings, the things doctors would do and the people who helped her. There is a dual POV with Nora and Lottie, Tavish's mother thoroughout the book. I also loved Lottie but felt sad for her with most of her story. Wonderful read for anyone who believes - and doesn't believe - in mesmerists, psychics, etc. I loved the ending as well. from my Goodreads account

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

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. If you like fantasy with magic, battles, and character growth, New Heights is a great read. I liked it even more than the first book.

Great book

Not the typical Baldacci novel. But I enjoyed this book very much
