Here is my 4.5 rounded to 5 stars review of The Bone Thief by Vanessa Lillie:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Mystery / Suspense
Book 2 in the Syd Walker series
Well-written and well-researched
Fantastic world-building, great plot, disturbing scenes, excellent pacing
Suspenseful, gritty, horrifying, thought-provoking, atmospheric
The author weaves in information about American history, struggles, and politics as it relates to Native Americans.
Starting to read A World of Curiosities
byLouise Penny. It looks like it should be good; however, I didn't know this was the 18th book in a series that I have never read.
I'm starting the week with a middle grade mystery,
Hurricane Heist by James Ponti. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finished Murder at Arleigh
by Alyssa Maxwell. Set in 1903 Newport, RI. Love this series. She has grown and advanced the characters very well. Good historical information on the gilded age. Highly recommend this series.

Here is my 3 star review of Fallen City by Adrienne Young:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Outlier opinion
Fantasy
Book 1 in the Fallen City duology
Dual timelines and dual points of view adversely affected the flow of this story.
While it kept me interested in the outcome, I didn't fully engage with the characters.
On top of that, it has a cliffhanger ending.
Here is my 4.34 rounded to 4 stars review of Hungry Like the Wolf by Paige Tyler:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Instant attraction
A couple of steamy scenes
Here is my 2.95 rounded to 3 stars review of The Graveyard Club: Revenge Game by R.L. Stine:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Graphic Novel / Horror / YA
Excellent illustrations
I did not like the characters.
I wasn't the target audience for this book. Arson and scorpions are not a prank. Neither are broken bones.
The horror part in the last part of the book was better than the so-called prank part in the beginning.
Here is my 4.49 rounded to 4 stars review of Deadly Trade by Sara Driscoll:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Mystery / FBI K-9
10th book in the FBI K-9 series
set in Hawaii
Dynamic characters, fantastic world-building, excellent pacing, intense scenes, great plot
I listened to Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants. It's a great book if you are interested in nature and ecology. It was narrated beautifully by the author. My only negative comment is that I found it a bit too long.
