In My Attic (A Magical Misfits Mystery #1) by Lina Hansen

This is the first in a new series of cozy mystery with a healthy dose of magic thrown in. Even if the name does not give it away, the characters and the not-so-subtle conversations fill in that required information. We have our leading lady called back to her aunt's bed-and-breakfast after an accident occurs on-site.…

Mystery Follows her – Assorted authors

I have had a love-hate relationship with both short stories as well as cozy mysteries featuring enterprising young women. With this book, I wanted to test my interest in both.

I have read a few other books by the author earlier and reviewed them on this blog: Of the numerous thriller authors out there, few have the narrative style that I actually enjoy. I say this after three years of blogging and falling prey to the hype and reading the more popular authors. This does…

The Ship of Shadows by Maria Kuzniar

This is an adventure book from start to finish. There are fast-paced scenes, life-threatening situations and a whole lot of friendship between a group of women/girls.Our lead protagonist has no friends because she is too different, she has taught herself languages by reading books( something I think would be a monumental task with just the…
