A Thief Obsessed by Heather Sunseri

For most of this book I honestly had no idea where the author was going with things. I really didn’t see a way to a resolution. The way she managed to tie it all up and finish all the threads was excellent. I enjoyed the book very much. It is very well-written. Each chapter alternating between characters was very effective. I recommend this book to anyone who likes thrillers.

The Devil Went Down to Austin by Rick Riordan

Often this book went too far to hit you over the head trying to get you to think a certain person was the culprit. It was so much it was obvious it wasn’t him and that took a bit away from the enjoyment of trying to guess who it actually was. The last few chapters were a complete surprise that I definitely did not expect. The resolution was very well done with the exception of one storyline that I felt like was rushed too much and not given the proper amount of attention it deserved. All in all it’s a pretty good mind vacation that still requires you to think a bit. I recommend it to people who like PI books.

Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George

Dragon Slippers is a very cute book. It was a little slow to get started, but once the plot started moving, I was quite absorbed. I found myself looking forward to having a chance to sit down and read it. The ending was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend it to children and adults who like dragons and light fantasy.

Warden’s Fury by Tony James Slater

For the most part I really enjoyed Warden’s Fury. At times it dragged a bit and was a little repetitive. I kind of felt like the author was trying to make this one as long as the previous books in the series. There were a couple twists and turns I did not expect that were excellent (such as the identity of Ingumen!). The epilogue was just nuts and left me quite looking forward to the next book in the series. If you like space opera type sci-fi, this book and series is for you!
