The Mountains We Call Home by Kin Michele Richardson

 


An absolutely wonderful and engaging novel. It is touching, sad, hopeful. The continuation of the story of Cussy Jackson is not an easy read due to her circumstances. It is a tribute to her dedication, determination, and faith in her husband. It is so captivating that I finished in one sitting.



Strange Familiars by Keshe Chow

 


Exciting, magical, and romantic. The magical world is threatened by surges of magic from unknown reasons. Gwendolynne Chan and her veterinary college nemesis Harrisford Briggs find themselves working together to figure out the source of the surges. Tons of magic, a snarky familiar cat, and more. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Charming and delectable. A story of daring destiny at the likely cost of losing true love in the process. Emmie comes from a line of women who experience visions of their true purpose in life. The confusion of Emmie, the receiver of the vision, is at the heart of the story-a heart that is gentle and kind but at a loss for what it truly wants. A very delightful story.
