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.

Children's Book Review of Ghostly Getaway (Diary of an Accidental Witch, #6) by Perdita Cargill and Honor Cargill
Ghostly Getaway (Diary of an Accidental Witch, #6)
 by Perdita Cargill and Honor Cargill
is a children's book published on February 11, 2025. It opens with Bea and her fellow classmates on a school trip to Cadabra Castle where there are lots of activities that require teamwork. During the night, they hear lots of strange noises. Ghosts don't exist, right?

A big thank you to NetGalley and Tiger Tales for approving my request for a copy. I received an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) for free in exchange for my honest review.

The story is told in format of a diary of a sixth grade student who just happens to be a witch. This latest edition can be read as a stand alone book and is super cute. It's very similar to The Worst Witch series by Jill Murphy.

Despite not being the target audience, I enjoyed the story and was engaged with it from the beginning. Parts of it reminded me of when I was a kid and went to Girl Scout camp as well as Rock Eagle. It's definitely a book that's great for parents to read with their children as both should find it enjoyable.

Like many children books, there are definitely "good guys" and "bad guys". Surprisingly, I think the characters are relatively developed for being a kids book. Five out of five stars is what I gave Ghostly Getaway (Diary of an Accidental Witch, #6) by Perdita Cargill and Honor Cargill.
