Bibliophile. Reading mysteries, with a bit of UF, Science and History to keep things interesting.
Carolyn Haines has a talent for making an intricate, detailed plot easy to read and fast moving. Her sense of place is so vivid it’s easy to feel you’re in the Mississippi Delta and it’s lovely to read about someone who respects her heritage.
This book’s story was interesting and gripping and I just couldn’t put it down. Jitty is still a nag but at least she’s starting to show signs of a softer side. I’m looking forward to continuing with this series.
Love love love this series! And this book was an excellent addition. I really appreciate how the author continues character development without it feeling like something ‘thrown in’ out of the blue. I really can’t wait for the next one.
A Discovery of WitchesThis is one of those books I wish I hadn’t discovered until after all three books had been published. I started this book on a Friday and hardly put it down until I finished on the Sunday morning.
The author did a stunning job of making the writing so vivid, I was there in the story watching it unfold like a movie; much more vividly than I normally am able to do. Books about magic are a treat for me and this one was not at all disappointing, with plenty of action and a nice balance, I think, between giving enough information to be vivid, but not enough to be graphic.
It’s going to really suck having to wait until next year for the second book.
