Carolyn | 9861 comments The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley is a blend of many genres (scifi, time travel, historical, romance) that somehow works, when four people about to die of disease or in battle are plucked out of time and brought to acclimatise in near future Britain.

The Great Divide by Cristina Henríquez
A novel not about the Panama Canal, but set during the construction of the canal. If you love character-oriented fiction, this is a great option to try.

The Shadow Key by Susan Stokes-Chapman
A mixed bag for me. The atmosphere is great, but the characters and the infodump endings somewhat ruined the overall satisfaction.

PattyMacDotComma | 3310 comments Kelsey is bubbly when they move into their new (to them) house, but Lauren is freaking out about being watched from The Other Side of the Road. I enjoyed thriller writer Andrea Bartz's suspenseful story and the ending I didn't expect.
