The Wood Bee Queen

The Wood Bee Queen

by Edward Cox

Being this was from one of my favourite Authors, I expected much. 

But I was wrong. 

Edward Cox surpassed much and went onto deliver something that seems to have surpassed his previous works. The stories (primary) setting is both unique and yet twists some myths on their heads in the most delightful way. The heroes are delightfully flawed as all good heroes should be at the start of any tale. Plus one of our heroes is a Librarian, and who doesn't love a Librarian?

And the villains, well, who doesn't like a good villain?

The story is not the type to ease you in slowly, but more grabs you by the face, and kicks you up the backside all the way through. It was totally delightful!

Waking The Witch

Waking the Witch

by Rachel Burge

When I started this book I thought it was going to be another over powered teen with a terrible life who comes along and saves the day and wins the boy.  But while it did go along this way to a certain degree, there is much more to the story than this.

The background that has its roots in the arthurian lore is good, like really good.  Some neat little twists to the basics, which fits the story in a perfect way.  The "bad" guys are not bad at all, but quite creepy with what happens to them.

A nice little read, something easy and not heavy, and perfect to relax and sit back with.

A Jump in Time Novel

by Andrew Varga

While I may not have picked this book up off the shelf, I am glad to have given it a go and read it.

Firstly, the amount of research the author had done was immediately obvious, I know a fair bit about the period and was impressed with the authors knowledge.  It is a good way to teach you about the that period in history in a fun way.  The characters were good, a bit of a usual trope, but fun along the way.

The story had some nice twists along the way, definitely a book I would recommend for a fun easy read.

Stealing Infinity

Stealing Infinity

by Alyson Noël

I'm really not one for the "chosen girl who whines all the time but it's amazing even if she can't see it" trope but the overall premise of this book intrigued me.

As a fan of history, tarot, and knowing some about numerology, this did grab my interest pretty quickly. It's easy to look passed the chosen girl thing, as the rest of the story and characters pull you in. There were some characters I wish I could have learned more about, but then that's what the squeal is for, I hope.
