Mostly great
Revisado: 07-15-21
This book presents a believable social landscape. It illustrates the lies and deceptions that perpetuated slavery and the appearance of gentility and prosperity
The interactions with William Short worked well as a symbol of personal encounters with anti-slavery factions.
Several of the romantic scenes were just silly and annoying. I'm glad I plowed through them to complete the book, but it was tempting to abandon the book.

Historia
Amber Sand is not a witch. The Sand family Wicca gene somehow leapfrogged over her. But she did get one highly specific magical talent: she can see true love. As a matchmaker, Amber's pretty far down the sorcery food chain (even birthday party magicians rank higher), but after five seconds of eye contact, she can envision anyone's soul mate. Amber works at her mother's magic shop - Windy City Magic - in downtown Chicago, and she's confident she's seen every kind of happy ending there is: except for one - her own.

Historia
At first glance, the death of media mogul “Big Bill” Argosy appears to be suicide. But his widow, Laila, thinks otherwise. Because Big Bill made enemies - lots of them. And he’d rather fight to the death than take his own life. When the authorities refuse to investigate, Laila turns to the one person who can see connections in the universe where others can’t: Zip Ono, a young private investigator - and practicing Buddhist. Zip quickly learns that there’s no shortage of suspects who might very well want Argosy dead.

I love Zip Ono
Revisado: 12-28-20
Zip Ono is a delightful new character. This book held my attention, and I loved how the character drew upon her understanding of human nature to guide her in solving the mystery. This is a nice twist from traditional “macho” detective stories. All of the characters in the book were believable and interesting. I hope we see more Zip Ono books in the future.

Too much melodrama; not enough history
Revisado: 11-13-20
Too much time was spent in this novel on melodramatic romance stories. I found the second half of this book boring and repetitive.

A decent story, but...
Revisado: 02-27-20
I bought this because it was listed as the next book in the series. But it's not a book. It's a 33 minute short story, and should not have cost 1 credit. Moral of the story....don't buy books on the cellphone, without reading the reviews. GRRRR!

Historia
Zero is just one of 20,000 people aboard a spaceship bound for a new planet set to be colonized. The journey is over a century long but luckily, everyone is in stasis, so they’ll be safe and sound asleep during the trip. Everyone that is, except for Zero, whose pod has malfunctioned, waking him up a hundred years early. His initial excitement in roaming the ship alone quickly turns to a heart-stopping interstellar adventure when a family of space pirates show up, trying to hijack the ship and take the colonizers hostage.

I was nice to hear Bob Neuhart again. As always, I love his low key and decent humor. I didn’t know the voices of all the comedians who were interacting with him, so transitional titles would have been appreciated.

“Madlibs”
Revisado: 04-28-19
Remember the game “madlibs”? You take a sentence where you supply a noun or adjective or verb that is completely out of context and then laugh at how silly the sentence is for a while? Well, I think this is how this story was written but it’s not funny after the first few minutes.

This powerful and breathtaking novel is the story of four cadets who have become bloodbrothers.

The passion. The rage. The friendship. The loyalty. The betrayal. Together, they will brace themselves for the brutal transition to manhood... and one will not survive.
