The Sorceress


The Sorceress by Michael Scott

I love getting carried away by a good story. Michael Scott's latest book, The Sorceress, solidified The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel as one of my favorite series. Book three in a six part series, The Sorceress draws you deeper and deeper into the world of the Immortals,the Elders, Dark Elders and a host of other mythical and magical creatures. A web of historical legends, mythical beings and objects, this book will delight those looking for a great fantasy story.

The Angel's Game


The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon


If you enjoyed Zafon's "Shadow of the Wind" you will not be disappointed with his latest book. The Angel's Game again takes place in Barcelona and we again visit the "Cemetary of the Forgotten Books" but 50 some years earlier. Start with a mysterious book and add murder, the devil, love, mystery and friendship and you have an intriguing and bewitching story. If you liked Zafon's writing story in "Shadow of the Wind" you will enjoy his latest book. Though dark, the story keeps the reader hooked as the story twists finally coming to the end without a real end.

The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie


The Sweetmess at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley

Eleven-year-old Flavia is a brilliant child living in 1950's England, and living life mostly under the radar of the adults in her life. Tormenting and being tormented by her sisters, her life is relatively mundane (although punctuated by her love of chemistry) until she discoveres a dead body on the family estate. Winner of the Crime Writers' Association Debut Dagger Award, this delicious mystery is flavored with unpredictability and delightful to the last bite.
