Marion Lane and the Deadly Rose is an upcoming book that I thought was a fantastic read. With an engaging mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat and compelling characters, I thought this was a great sequel!
Daughter of the Deep, is Rick Riordan’s latest novel and it is one that we thoroughly enjoyed. With some excellent worldbuiliding, engaging characters and a captivating story, this is certainly a book to add to your list.
The last 80 pages are awesome, and the climax is perfectly timed. The way things open up all of the sudden is the exact shock to life The Prisoner of Azkaban needs. The smooth eventfpacing of the first 3/4 is flipped on its head by a chaotic last quarter, but it is a ton of fun.
Marion Lane and the Midnight Murder was way better than what I could ever imagine. It has everything you could want for a detective novel: solid plot, great setting, loveable characters, and even wonderful diction and storytelling.
The Borrowman Cell is a a decent book with a lot of potential. With too much going on, it gets bogged down and turned into a slow read.
The Ickabog is not a hard read nor is it a long book which makes it perfect for young readers looking for something fantastical to start with. The type of narrative is something I enjoy as they tease the truth throughout while we are constantly given doubts which just makes the mystery the more intriguing and the pay off all the sweeter.
Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets brings us back to the magical world of Hogwarts with new challenges and enemies.
If you like mystery thrillers, The Monsters We Make is the book for you. It is fantastic, with a great cast of characters, and an incredibly realistic plot. It will send shivers down your spine, making you worry about thinks outside of the novel.
