Shield Of Sparrows

book cover


My favorite part of this romantasy is the angsty relationship between Odessa and the Guardian. This book is filled with terrifying magical creatures, a mysterious rage-inducing sickness, blood oaths, betrayal and secrets. I loved the first 75% and then once the romance storyline transitioned, it lost a bit of steam but the action of the book soared in the final chapters (A blood bath! Big reveals! Cliffhangers!). I really enjoyed the narration though some of Samantha Brentmoor’s male voices blended together. I listened to the audiobook on Libby and am already looking forward to the next in the series.

Look Closer

I listened to this audiobook on Libby because it was picked for the Portland State alumni book club. I enjoyed the various perspectives and unreliable narrators in this tale of a Halloween murder. The plot skips around in time and feels like a tangled web of infidelity, betrayal, and financially motivated deceit. While rather elaborate in plotting and timeline, I did enjoy this twists and felt it was well paced.

A Rip Through Time
by Kelley Armstrong

book cover


A Rip Through Time by Kelley Armstrong is a fast-paced, clever blend of time travel and mystery that had me hooked from the start. When modern-day detective Mallory Atkinson wakes up in Victorian Scotland, trapped in another woman’s body, she’s forced to use her 21st-century skills to solve a chilling murder. I loved the mix of historical setting, suspenseful twists, and strong characters. It’s smart, gripping, and just plain fun. I can’t wait to dive into the next book in the series.
