Giveaway for this book piqued my interest right away, because I heard a Cross country checkup CBC radio interview of an Iceland former politician after Trump declared his interest in her country. I am so excited to be privileged to peek in advance at the life of a young lady at the peak of such a point in history, standing next to the president of Iceland.

Praise Potter magic! I won a book that hasn't even been published ? I am so excited!!
( I'm not sure about the effects of Trump (forget Carney) on Iceland today.)

Bliss. Not. Bliss-er.

Slow.

4" Smolder, smirk
Regency & cowboy authors stay at Austen themed resort, visit ranch & give seminars. Smolder, flirt, banter. Latter is best. Lie to save the other - gets too complicated for me.

CRASH. "Gobble" Cluck BOOM."No no no nol"
Fuzzy caterpillar eyebrows under bowl-cut
messy dark hair are Gal in drawings that bring everyone to life. Big round eyes on most. Skeleton fingers on the evil sorceress. Elegant long sinuous neck on dragon Orly. The trio of Old, Midling and Young have too many names

Jaye built a book for "What happens next? " Even barely met one line people like Mount'n Man, dad, Li, Lingli, Linli - oops, no such one.
Yet another turns 16 (20 whatever) till run, flee, caught. Life-or-death. Allies both are enemies. Demon gore.

Boooring. They all dream of and remember mating and wanting. Minor plot of older Isabelle locked in her cellar by younger husband Devlin
and his lover. I have not patience for mystery of Raven knkght and love lost to red stone.

"death is the same for all of us" 1853 Edinburgh.
The real Henry Littlejohn, police surgeon, had a case who choked on a flying champagne cork. "Dr Simpson dabbled in mesmerism." Raven even cracks a joke, teasing wife Sarah. These are people I like to share my reading time. Bonus of real history.

All know how to build suspense, evil onto villain, or ambiguity.

All 5 had guessable guilty perps. Who is innocent everyone protects from Gammy locked in cellar? If detective on holiday at Crow pub senses bad, he is right. Time in Canada has no "half seven", means we Wiki UK et al. At the last, another experienced nose smells deep dark. But Ellis has surprise twist.

"hate .. will do more harm to you than him"
Knight Desroch only seen short time, 1-D noble, kind, brave. Constantly sneering, his squire Laster twists grief, misplaces hate from Marl to Ranger.

Smooth velvety pictures in steady awakes energy. I fall asleep soon. Twice same routine for Brady tells about dog then for Mom about boy. Yawn. Slow steady open eyes, no build up and down.

Feels like a full-length novel, even with Highlands as character. Did MC leave this gem behind? Hamish gasses up stranded valuator Harry to see if Morag has antiques. Neighborhood nosy pest, nobody likes, has head fatally bashed. The clues Hamish used were guessable, but I flubbed. His final actions were classic funny MC.

Cross writes as introvert Ronan. Sedentary scholar delights in minutiae, research, details. Thus steps plod. After a mob burns his lively twin Rodan, guilt points his travel to find Watchers who see future paths. Ronan stays wordy in cold, hunger. "I digress". Cross partly builds a world of witches with "common magic" (some?) who transport anywhere. She keeps his fate secret till last page.

Walters writes from SARS experience (I was in downtown TO), simple to follow. Quinn 13 close to her da, his scraped skin feels real. Eejits avoiding rules invite to spread bloody pain and death. Walters made end hopeful.

Finally. Walters is first to address virus still out there mutating. Gaaah. CoVid-19 from Quinn ~ Gr 8 Middle-school perspective. Canada has CoVid, no Mid.

Some surprises. Guess the villain, girlfriend. Jahl's leg health changes.
