Book Review: Lie In The Tide by Holly Danvers

Image
Lie In The Tide by Holly Danvers opens with four high school friends meeting up in Cape Cod, Massachusetts for a reunion of sorts. When one of them doesn't show up, and no one can get a hold of her, the other friends are desperate to find out what happened. NetGalley, thank you for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of this novel. I requested a copy of this book based on their synopsis and the author. When my request was approved, I was thrilled. The story started off well and kept me wanting to know more. Early on, I thought I had everything figured out, but much to my surprise, there was a plot twist I didn't count on.  I won't say more as to not spoil it for others. It's an easy read and perfect to take on vacation. Although I enjoyed Lie In The Tide by Holly Danvers a lot, I wish there was more action in the first half of the book. The second half was action packed, and I found myself rushing to finish the story to see if my gut instinct was correct. As for the charact...

Book Review: Witch Upon A Star (Witch Way Librarian Mysteries, #4) by Angela M. Sanders

book review witch upon a star angela m sanders

Witch Upon A Star (Witch Way Librarian Mysteries, #4) by Angela M. Sanders was published May 23, 2023 by Kensington Books.  Josie is excited to have her sister Jean come visit her in Wilfred, Oregon.  However, Josie isn't quite as happy for the reason . . . Jean is attending a workshop to become a certified life coach.  When two people associated with the workshop are found murdered, and Jean is threatened, Josie sticks her nose into the investigation.

A big thank you goes out to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of Witch Upon A Star (Witch Way Librarian Mysteries, #4) by Angela M. Sanders.  I was happy to be approved to receive this book for free in exchange for my honest review.  After reading this book, I'm now a fan of the author and can't wait to read the first three books in the series or for the next installment to come out.

I was pleasantly surprised that the story was so well written and engaging.  At times, it played like a movie in my mind, and I loved all the red herrings throughout the story that kept me guessing, and incorrectly guessing at that!  I couldn't figure out who the killer was or his/her motive . . . this is always a big plus for me because I don't like figuring out who it is right off the bat.

Most of the characters were very likable, even a few that shouldn't have been.  I loved the fact that one of the characters was a black cat named Rodney . . . he might have been one of my favorites.  Of course, I really liked the main character, Josie, and the sheriff, Sam.  I do wish the author had recapped the backstory of Sam a little earlier in the book, but other than that, I don't really have any complaints.

Four out of five stars is what I give Witch Upon A Star (Witch Way Librarian Mysteries, #4) by Angela M. Sanders.  This is a must read for anyone who enjoys novels about libraries, books, cats, and magic.
