Historia
Tao is an immigrant fortune teller, traveling between villages with just her trusty mule for company. She only tells "small" fortunes: whether it will hail next week; which boy the barmaid will kiss; when the cow will calve. She knows from bitter experience that big fortunes come with big consequences…

Fun unique fantasy
Revisado: 11-30-24
A fun magical romp with the feel of a fairy tale where story lines get wrapped up nicely and the trials the hero’s face are not too scary. Interesting themes that make it very relatable.

Historia
Kaz Brekker and his crew have just pulled off a heist so daring even they didn't think they'd survive. But instead of divvying up a fat reward, they're right back to fighting for their lives. Double-crossed and badly weakened, the crew is low on resources, allies, and hope. As powerful forces from around the world descend on Ketterdam to root out the secrets of the dangerous drug known as jurda parem, old rivals and new enemies emerge to challenge Kaz's cunning and test the team's fragile loyalties.

Amazing Characters, compelling adventures
Revisado: 06-04-24
I liked the way the author delved into serious issues like addiction without making the book feel tedious. I also thought it was fun how we didn’t know Kaz’s plans in advance so that we always were surprised as they unfolded!

Enjoyable
Revisado: 02-01-24
I guessed who the murder victim was and who the murderer was almost immediately but the author wrote in enough other possible baddies to keep the suspense up, so it was by no means boring. An enjoyable light read.

Historia
From #1 New York Times-best-selling author Nora Roberts comes a novel of a woman who needs nothing, a man who sees everything, and the web of deceit, greed, and danger that brings them together - and that could tear them apart… As a professional house-sitter and freelance writer, nothing ties Lila Emerson down - not her work, not a home, and definitely not a relationship. She spends her life moving from one job to the next, sometimes crashing at a friend's Manhattan apartment.

Standard Nora Roberts Fare + treasure hunt
Revisado: 01-23-24
Standard Nora Roberts book - people falling in love at first sight. Nora’s characters never let the gruesome murders of their friends, family and and neighbors dampen their blossoming romance (or their lust). Also one thing the kept bugging me… is it normal for a house sitter to have her friends, boyfriends, random strangers over to the house? Seems like owners might not want a troupe of people traipsing through their space.

Historia
When a banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster Loki, she risks the wrath of the gods in this moving, subversive debut novel that reimagines Norse mythology. Angrboda’s story begins where most witches' tales end: with a burning. A punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be Loki, and her initial distrust of him transforms into a deep and abiding love.

A compelling and very human story
Revisado: 09-15-23
When I started this off I was worried it was going to be too much simplistic mythology that would soon get boring… but the author really brought the characters to life and made me care about them. I cried halfway through this book when certain events passed and felt silly being so emotionally involved in a story that so frequently uses the names Thor, Odin and Loki. This book reminded me a lot of Circe, the author uses a historical time and mythological setting as a foundation then builds up the novel by exploring the less known figures and weaving their stories in with more mainstream folklore. I would definitely recommend!

Escapism
Revisado: 07-06-23
This is not a Pulitzer, but a fun look into a family run business (Nora likes that plot device), throw in a ton of affairs, murder, corporate sabotage, wine, parties, international travel and a parallel romance storyline and you have some summer escapism. I will say I did like this better then some of her darker works, in several of her books she gets too in-depth into the villain and it’s unsettling to jump from a graphic rape and murder scene right back to a sensuous love scene. This book had murder and suspense nicely sprinkled through to keep tension but was not too dark. Relationship between the younger couple hasn’t aged well, but hey it’s a romance murder/suspense book written circa late 1990s (my best guess) lots of talk about palm pilots. Go in with suitably low expectations and it will be a fun distracting read.

Filled with Sexual and Physical Violence
Revisado: 06-08-23
I don’t know who wants to read steamy sex steams juxtaposed against creepy rape torture scenes, this book was just too much. By the end of the book everyone spoke like Alice in these repetitive phrases that just drove me nuts. Really gratuitous with the details of violence and captivity. Def NOT one of my fav Norah Roberts books.

Wonderful wholesome Series
Revisado: 06-03-23
These books are not psychological thrillers filled with sex and gore, however they are clean interesting well thought out suspenseful books that will keep you interested and immerse you in the lives of the diverse cast of characters. Love the under suspicion premise and this was one of the stronger books in the series. I appreciate that these books are fairly upbeat and I can always count on them to have a happy ending, I am engaged and what to know what is next without feeling completely stressed out about the events unfolding!

Escapism
Revisado: 05-14-23
Light predictable escapism, no suspense as we are told who the bad guys are up front. Did not like the fact that they just glossed over the early domestic abuse in the relationship like leaving bruises on someone can be brushed away with flowers. But it was written a long time ago, narrated sounded like she was an extra in gone with the wind. But Dora’s character was fun and i loved that she was unapologetically a bit materialistic and bratty.
