Genre: Fantasy/Romance

Aren has been running her father’s tavern and getting her twin sisters’ ready for the prince’s upcoming visit all on her own. She is used to acting alone since her mother’s death. Her father is too sick and frail and her sisters are so beautiful they need to be protected at all costs. When Prince Dietan finally arrives, Aren is surprised that he doesn’t seem that interested in meeting a potential princess, which is supposed to be the purpose of his trip. Nearby kingdoms are threatening to attack and if he were to find a suitable princess a war could possibly be avoided between the countries. Instead, Dietan wants to know where a reclusive witch lives and Aren knows he will need help if he wants to find her. Meanwhile, Aren is attacked on her way back to the tavern and Dietan arrives to save her, while clearly using magical means. She learns he has a secret that has been plaguing him for years and if he can’t find someone to help him the secret will probably kill him. In order to travel and try to find a solution to his curse, he needs a bride by his side to help explain his tour around the country. Now that Aren has found suitable matches for her sisters she desperately wants to see outside their town and this could be her chance. She agrees to pose as Dietan’s bride to be, but as they continue to head toward danger and enemies on all sides, they begin to form an attraction for real. Can Aren help Dietan break the terrible Rings of Fate curse? Can they ever truly be together? Is their alliance meant to be?

This engaging fantasy story pulls the reader in from the beginning because Aren is such a great character. She can do it all: run the tavern, run the family home, and take care of everyone. Yet, when she is attacked she cannot fight them on her own and is grateful when Dieten steps in. He gives her the possibility of being able to explore and be something other than the person everyone has come to rely on. While she loves her family, she definitely feels like everything is resting on her shoulders and she isn’t sure this is the life she really wants. Dietan, on the other hand, has huge expectations on him as well, but the curse has limited him in every way. If he could find a way to break the curse he might be able to truly fulfill his true leadership potential. As their journey begins it becomes obvious that they need each other in order to attain their goals. Romantasy readers will devour this story.

Genre: Mystery/Historical Fiction

This mystery is set in 1910 where a Viscount of an expansive estate believes that Halley’s Comet is going to obliviate life as they know it. So, he has his staff work tirelessly to seal up Tithe Hall in order to try and protect them from the tidal waves he believes are coming to destroy earth. As luck would have it, an underbutler, Stephen Pike, arrives the very day these preparations are taking place having been recommended by a family member. He does have a record and he is very concerned they will turn him away and he desperately needs work. However, the butler is very overwhelmed and decides to tell the Viscount that he requested an additional staff member in order to help seal up the Hall. After sealing up everyone in their rooms, Stephen is sent to check on Miss Decima, the prickly elderly family member who constantly terrorizes the staff. It is Stephen’s job to make sure she stays sealed in her room for the night, but Decima has other plans and they end up going outside to watch the comet. The next morning, Stephen notices that there is blood coming from underneath the study where the Viscount was sealed up alone. He rushes to get help and by the time they break open the door they find the Viscount murdered in a grisly manner. Since he is new and has been to prison (for a crime he was innocent of) all eyes turn to him, but Decima knows he was with her and could not have committed the murder. Plus, it seems impossible anyone could have gotten in and out of the room with it being sealed from the inside. Decima and Stephen vow to prove his innocence before he goes down yet again for a crime he didn’t commit. Can they find the real culprit(s)? More importantly, can they figure out how it is possible for someone to get murdered inside a locked room?

This fun mystery has a Gosford Park/Downton Abbey feel as the reader is introduced to the staff and their very particular jobs and rules they must follow. The pace of the story is not overwhelming, but does not lag behind either as Stephen and Decima strive to find clues that will not only exonerate him, but also let them know if the rest of them are in danger with a killer nearby. The dynamics of the manor are very interesting as every servant has a place and no one is supposed to mess with that. The family members staying at the house all have their own agendas for going along with the hysteria over Halley’s Comet, but are those agendas enough to kill for? Fans of British type mysteries will enjoy this title.

It begins with Toby coming to the Hawthorne home with a few friends and engaging Hannah’s sister, Kaylie, at a local bar. Hannah immediately got a strange vibe from her first impression of these college boys and advised her sister to stay away, but Kaylie was a free spirit and found her way back to them. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when there was an explosion at the Hawethorne property and the only known survivor was Toby, who was plucked out of the water by a local fisherman. Since Hannah was training to be a nurse, he summoned her to help save Toby’s life because Hannah’s family would definitely be out for revenge if they knew where Toby was.

We Fell Apart by E. Lockhart

Genre: Realistic Fiction

In this companion to We Were Liars, Matilda discovers the father she has never known, renowned artist Kingsley Cello, has asked to meet her after all this time and invites her to his reclusive home by the sea. Her mother has always been a bit flaky and after moving to be with yet another new love interest, Matilda actually opts to stay with the previous love interest to finish high school. Besides, Saar Adler, the most recent boyfriend, has always been more of a parent to her than either of her real parents. Saar is concerned about Matilda traveling so far to meet someone who has wanted nothing to do with her until this point. Her mother also advises against meeting Kingsley but says if he offers her a painting she should take it and sell it.

When Matilda arrives at the airport she quickly realizes that the directions she has been given are very confusing and she has trouble finding a cab willing to take her. Upon arrival she meets her half brother she has never known, Meer, who welcomes her with open arms. A former child star, Brock, and a wild card Tatum also live with Kingsley and his mom in their beachside house, which appears to be crumbling around them. Kingsley is not there to greet Matilda, however, and they all tell her that he is a free spirit and often leaves with no notice of when he will return. They lock up her electronics without her permission and declare it is a screen free home. As much as Matilda does not feel comfortable or included, she is determined to make the best of this since she has traveled so far. As she gets to know the inhabits of this house it becomes clear that there are a lot of unsaid things between the inhabitants and she starts to suspect they are not telling her the truth about where Kingsley is.

This story takes place right after the events of We Were Liars, which is located on an island across the water from where Kingsley’s house is. Everyone is pretty shaken up by what happened on the Sinclair island, but all for different reasons. In this story, everyone does appear to be lying about a lot of things and it starts to become hazy why Matilda was invited here at all if everyone was just going to lie to her about everything. The characters do become more distinguishable as the story plays out and the final resolution will help everything come together. Lockhart has a way of creating unusual settings with unique characters that readers get pulled into and want to know more about.

It doesn’t help that she doesn’t feel like she has fit in at all in her new school. She has been bullied and struggled to keep up academically. She just doesn’t belong anywhere. Meanwhile, she had spruced up her town’s website so that her classmates wouldn’t realize how run down it has gotten and that led to a classmate and his aunt coming for the Christmas holiday.

Genre: Fantasy

Lovett is a silkwitch, which means she has magical powers in the strands of her hair. Each silkwitch is different and Lovett’s ability is that she can open any door no matter what. Lovett has been on her own awhile and gets by by stealing from the rich and hiding in the shadows so no one realizes she is an unwed silkwitch. If she does not find a weaver husband she will be forced to work in the cloisters. One day she walks into a trap set by the son of a weaver, Eliot Lear. Eliot offers Lovett an appealing offer. She must join the vainglory, or competition for the prince to find a bride. It is only for silkwitches since the prince must marry a silkwitch in order to maintain the family power. There was a vainglory the year before that ended in tragedy when Eliot’s sister was suddenly killed. He wants Lovett to infiltrate the competition to find out what really happened to his sister and in return he promises he will find her a suitable match so that she never has to go to the cloisters. Lovett isn’t used to being the one getting played, but ultimately agrees since this could save her future. Once she gets to the castle everything seems darker and more sinister. The prince is nice enough but the King is very intimidating and seems to predict her every move. Can Lovett find out what happened to Eliot’s sister without being found out for who she truly is? Will she manage to escape the cloisters? Will the prince take a liking to Lovett, which would be problematic because he doesn’t know who she truly is or what her motives are?

Genre: Mystery

Jet is a 27 year old woman who is still trying to find her path in life. In the meantime, she is living with her parents and trying not to fight with her brother too much on how he is running the family business. Jet does suffer from a kidney condition that she inherited from her father and lately, she has noticed that his symptoms seem to be getting worse. On the night of the Halloween carnival, Jet returns home early to an empty house and is attacked from behind by someone who had been waiting for her. She is struck three times in the head with a hammer and left for dead. She does not die, but after waking up many hours later she learns that the hammer damaged her skull in a way that an aneurysm will kill her in less than a week. She realizes she has the rare opportunity to solve her own murder and sets out to do so with her good friend and longtime neighbor. As her symptoms start to worsen, she becomes more frantic to find out why someone would want her dead. Can she solve her murder before it is too late? Are there other shady things going on with her family that will also come to light? Can she ever find peace with the fact that her life was cut so short?

This mystery story is every bit as exciting as Holly Jackson’s other titles. As Jet investigates she finds out so many secrets that those around her never wanted to come to light. She also slowly starts to realize that she could not trust many of the people she has known for years, which is very disheartening to learn. The ending is fresh and exciting and will leave readers surprised (and that is saying something considering some of Jackson’s other titles). There are a few people introduced quickly at the beginning that can get confusing to keep straight, but ultimately each character has a purpose. Highly recommended for fans of mystery authors such as April Henry and Harlan Coben.

Genre: Mystery

Amy and her best friend, Sarah, have been looking forward to senior year (and more specifically) the week prior to the rest of the students coming where they get to set up their room, go to parties, etc. Things don’t go as planned, however, when Amy wakes up to find Sarah and her boyfriend stabbed to death in Sarah’s room. Quickly, things spiral out of control as Amy must account for how she could have slept through such terrible murders while she was in the same suite. Meanwhile, Liz, the outcast newspaper editor wants to be the first to break the story, but finds herself blocked everywhere she turns. She has never felt more like the scholarship kid/outsider than she does as she watches everyone close ranks around these terrible events. Eventually, Amy and Liz decide to try to work together in order to find out what truly happened that fateful night. Can they find out the truth? Will they ever find anyone who can truly be trusted? How well did Amy really know her best friend?

This mystery story is fast paced and exciting all the way through. The setup is described well so it is believable how this could have happened while Amy was so close by. The motivations of all the characters are also understandable and it is easy to see why it takes so long for all of the pertinent facts to come out. Senior year carries a lot of the stresses, insecurities, and questions about the future no matter if you go to a local public school or a fancy boarding school and this book does a nice job of showcasing that. The final reveal is very satisfying and exciting which will leave mystery lovers wanting to see more from this author. Recommended for those who enjoy April Henry or liked The Counselors by the same author.

The ending feels exciting and not too rushed, while also leaving the door open to a very exciting sequel.

Genre: Mystery and Historical Fiction

In 1956, Marion Brooks is a dance teacher living with her sister and father in New York City. When she is unceremoniously fired for allowing her young students to have a little fun in their ballet class and her long time boyfriend indicates that he is planning to propose, she decides she wants to do something daring to feel like she has some control over her life. So, she goes to an open call for auditions to be a Rockette. Surprising even herself, she makes it to the final round and is chosen to be a Rockette dancer. Her father is not supportive, however, and believes that she needs to get married and settle down so that he doesn’t need to worry about her anymore. She disobeys and moves to a boarding house that is just for young ladies either working on Broadway or trying to get hired to be a performer of some kind. She finds the Rockette practices challenging because they require such uniformity, but she knows she can do this and she believes her mother, who died when she was young, would’ve wanted her to follow her dreams. Meanwhile, a serial bomber has been terrorizing the city for years and the police seem no closer to catching this person. When a bomb goes off in Radio City Music Hall, she meets a young doctor who has been working on a new brand of science: profiling. She believes that if they work together they might be able to find the bomber, but can they do it without becoming targets themselves?

This historical fiction book follows an intriguing time period in 1950s New York where women’s paths were beginning to have more avenues, but there were still a lot of traditional expectations placed on them. Marion’s dad does not like the idea of women working in any field except as a secretary, teacher, or nurse. Therefore, he feels Marion getting a job as a dancer is ridiculous and unnecessary when she could just get married. It’s very interesting to watch these young women try to push the boundaries of what is appropriate for them in this time period, while also wanting to stay safe and respected. Marion has to choose between a safe path and a more adventurous one and she chooses the latter, even if that means she might find herself in the bomber’s path and without familial support. Recommended for anyone who enjoys books about unique settings and time periods in history.
