Wicked Charms Leaves You Greedy for More (a review)

Who will end up with the charm for greed? Can a ceremony turn someone into the demon Mammon? Wicked Charms is the third book in the Lizzy and Diesel series. Each book is centered around one of the 7 deadly sins. Book 3 is about greed.

Somewhere off the coast of New England is a hidden treasure including a cursed diamond and the avarice stone. This comes to light along with a body in the pirate museum of Salem. Lizzy must use her talent to help find the stone before Diesel's cousin Wulf finds it. As if Wulf wasn't enough competition, a businessman named M. Ammon believes that if he can get his hands on the stone, he will be able to transform himself into the demon of greed, Mammon. Lizzy's friends all get involved as does a coroner named Nergal and a museum pirate named Josh. We learn about the tunnels beneath Salem as well.

The "evil" characters are interesting. Hatchet, Wulf's servant, has several humorous things to say as he is searching for the stone and has misfortunes happen to him. Rutherford, M. Ammon's faithful servant seems to be on the verge of hysteria many times in the book.

I love the setting of Salem and the tunnels beneath. The rest of the settings are interesting as well, a mansion in southern New Hampshire and an island off the coast of New England. The island and the search for the treasure made me think of the movie The Goonies for some reason.

The pace is pretty good. It fluctuates with the plot and gradually speeds up.

The book leaves you greedy to read more about Lizzy and Diesel's search for the rest of the stones that represent the 7 deadly sins. What will happen if Wulf gets them? What will happen if Lizzy and Diesel get them all? Who does Diesel work for? And what will happen if Lizzy and Diesel finally consummate their relationship by going all the way? It's not exactly a cliffhanger, but the questions are open for sequels.

I kind of felt like the title of the book didn't suit the story that much and would have been more appropriate for a series conclusion. My reasoning is that the book is about one stone and it's consequences rather than many stones.

Still overall, I give this book 4 stars for interesting plot ideas and the writing.

Published November 18, 2014
by Henery Press

This week's teaser is from Fatal Brushstroke by Sybil Johnson, Book #1 in the Aurora Anderson Mystery series.

Rory wasn't normally superstitious, but after everything that had happened, she wasn't taking any chances. Since she couldn't remember which shoulder would ward off bad luck, she tossed a pinch of salt over each one, then washed the tile floor, starting with the area where the white grains had spilled. (p.11)

Synopsis from Goodreads.com

A dead body in her garden and a homicide detective on her doorstep…

Computer programmer and tole-painting enthusiast Aurora (Rory) Anderson doesn’t envision finding either when she steps outside to investigate the frenzied yipping coming from her own backyard. After all, she lives in Vista Beach, a quiet California beach community where violent crime is rare and murder even rarer.

Suspicion falls on Rory when the body buried in her flowerbed turns out to be someone she knows—her tole painting teacher, Hester Bouquet. Just two weekends before, Rory attended one of Hester’s weekend painting seminars, an unpleasant experience she vowed never to repeat. As evidence piles up against Rory, she embarks on a quest to identify the killer and clear her name. Can Rory unearth the truth before she encounters her own brush with death?

Waiting on Wednesday #92: The Silenced by Heather Graham

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly event hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. 

Expected publication:
June 30, 2015 by Mira

This week the book I am waiting on is The Silenced by Heather Graham. It's #15 in her Krewe of Hunters series. 

Synopsis from Goodreads.com: 

Lara, a congressman's media assistant, suddenly quits her job—and disappears on the way to her Washington, DC, apartment. 

Novice FBI agent Meg Murray, a childhood friend of Lara's, gets a message from her that same night, a message that says she's disillusioned and "going home." To Richmond, Virginia. Meg discovers that she never got there. And bodies fitting Lara's description are showing up in nearby rivers… Could she be the victim of a serial killer? 

Meg is assigned to work with special agent Matt Bosworth, a hard-nosed pro in the FBI's unit of paranormal investigators—the Krewe of Hunters. They trace the route Meg and Lara took more than once in the past, visiting battlefields and graveyards from Harpers Ferry to Gettysburg. Places where the dead share their secrets with those who can hear… As Meg and Matt pursue the possibility of a serial killer, they find themselves in the middle of a political conspiracy. Is there a connection? And who—besides each other—can they trust?

Why am I looking forward to it? Basically it's part of a series that I really enjoy reading. Most of the novels in the series can be read as standalone books. And it's expected to be published on June 30, 2015 so there isn't that long to wait on it. I think that this series can make good beach reading or summer reading as well. It's basically paranormal romantic suspense.

"That is so adorable," the waitress said. "What's your monkey's name?"

"Carl," Diesel said. "And it would be great if you could hurry things along because Carl is probably gnawing on the steering wheel. We just got back from Sri Lanka, and he's still freaked over the elephants. There were lots of elephants."

Fantasy or magical realism? Book Review: The Book of Speculation by Erka Swyler

Expected publication: June 23, 2015
by St. Martin's Press

How long can you hold your breath? Simon Watson can hold his breath for up to 10 minutes according to The Book of Speculation by Erika Swyler. He gets this ability from his mother who taught him how to do it. His mother worked as a "mermaid" in a traveling carnival. He shares this ability with his sister Enola, a tarot card reader who is in a traveling carnival. 

One summer, Simon gets an old book in the mail. It appears to be the log book of a traveling show. From reading the book, Simon concludes that it is entirely possible that the family has been cursed. He is worried about his sister Enola in particular and how the curse could affect her. The women in his family seem to drown on July 24th which is only weeks away. This is in spite of their having "mermaid" capabilities. The women in his family also appear to have an uncanny ability to read tarot cards. What can Simon do to prevent Enola from following in the footsteps of their mother into the ocean on the 24th?

The book alternates between the present and the past. Simon, a reference librarian, and his sister Enola are the subjects of the present day parts. The past is mostly about Amos and Evangeline and the show that they travel with. I found both stories to be interesting. One wasn't really any less important than the other.

Do you call it fantasy because it has parts in it that seem unreal? Things that have to do with the curse and passing it down to generations of the family. Or is it magical realism because it is generally fiction with one magical element involved? In my opinion, I consider it magical realism. It reminds me in some ways of what Alice Hoffman writes. Everything is pretty much normal except for this one area where you are invited to suspend your disbelief.

The characters are well developed. Simon especially is well developed as the real main character. The others are developed to a slightly lesser extent, but still come across for the most part as real people. Each has their own wants, needs, and growth.

The pace reminded me a little bit of a wave approaching shore. It gradually increased speed as the book got closer to the end. 

The writing itself was well done. I had no problem as a former library technician identifying with Simon and his career. In fact, there may have been times I over-identified and it affected my moods. While reading when I took breaks, it took me a few minutes to come back to my surroundings and what was going on. It was smoothly written and engrossing.

I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars because of the quality of the writing, the character development, and the pace.

Waiting on Wednesday #91: Spider's Trap by Jennifer Estep

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly event hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. 

This week I'm waiting on Spider's Trap by Jennifer Estep. Due out July 28, 2015 from Pocket Books, it's #13 in her Elemental Assassin series. The series features Gin Blanco aka the assassin known as Spider. 

Synopsis from Goodreads.com:
Keep your friends close but your enemies within stabbing distance.

One important lesson I’ve learned in the assassination business is that to be the best you have to roll with the punches. Now that I’m queen of Ashland’s underworld—by default, not by choice—a lot more punches are being thrown my way. But I suppose that’s the price of victory for taking down some of the underworld’s top dogs. Good thing I have my Ice and Stone magic to help me survive my volatile new position. Just when I think things are finally settling down, someone tries to murder me during a hush-hush underworld meeting. But the real surprise is how strangely familiar my shadowy assailant seems to be.

My job is to maintain order among killers, crooks, and thieves, and soon I’m embroiled in a bloody game where the ability to keep secrets could be the greatest superpower of all. My enemies have all sharpened their knives and laid their traps, waiting for me to fall. But this Spider weaves her own webs of death.

Why am I waiting on this book?
I am a fan of urban fantasy. And this series has been good so far. I can only hope that this book will live up to the rest.

Published September 2, 2014
by Simon & Schuster

My teaser is from very early on in the book, page 2 to be exact. But, I thought it was one of the best examples of the type of sense of humor that is pervasive in this book.

""Mr. Nossik hung motivational posters on the walls of the classroom- things about perseverance, integrity and shit like that.

One of them said this:"Opportunity: When one door closes, another one opens."

The first time we saw that one, Cade Hernandez, my best friend, said, "Sounds like he lives in a fucking haunted house."

It's sort of a coming of age story and adventure story as much as life is an adventure. The main character and point of view is Finn Easton a junior in high school. He happens to also be epileptic. The way he describes his seizures is kind of beautiful.

BTW: This book is available to read on Simon and Schuster's Pulseit.com site this week for free. I get no compensation for sharing that with you.

Simon and Schuster Choose Your Summer at PulseIt

Simon and Schuster has a program they call PulseIt available at pulseit.com They showcase YA books. This summer they are running what they are calling their Choose Your Summer program.

This week's books are: 100 Sideways Miles by Andrew Smith and Last Year's Mistake by Gina Ciocca.

"On Pulseit, you can read great teen books online for FREE on your desktop, smartphone or tablet!

Review: Cold Burn of Magic by Jennifer Estep

Published April 28, 2015
by Kensington Books

Magic and monsters and mortals, oh my. Of the three magic and monsters play the most part in the story of Cold Burn of Magic by Jennifer Estep. As for mortals? Well, the story takes place in Cloud Burst, Virginia which is considered to be the most magical place in America. As a result, it's become a tourist destination full of mortals at any given time. Many of the residents, on the other hand, have magical talents and most of the monsters dwell in the woods, under bridges, and in the dark places. 

The story is told from the viewpoint of Lila Merriweather, an orphaned thief. She lives in the basement of the library and works for a friend of her family's named Mo. Mo runs a pawn shop and Lila supplies things for him to sell. Lila has a couple of magical talents that she tries to keep under wraps. And she tries to stay out of the way of the magical mob type families. But one day while she is at Mo's, a trio belonging to one of the families comes into the store. She locks eyes with one of the boys and one of her talents kicks in allowing her to see what kind of person he is and what he is feeling. Then an assassination attempt on him follows. Lila doesn't want to get involved, but she does because of her sense of morality and knowing that the boy is basically good. Next thing you know, Mo is brokering a deal for her to become the guy's bodyguard. And things flow from there.

It's a good story. Part mystery - who is after Devon? Part urban fantasy - monsters and magic in the city. I enjoyed it. It happens to be YA,  but I think it could be enjoyed by anyone who likes urban fantasy. In spite of Lila making eye contact with Devon and finding out what kind of person he is, there is no insta-love. A friendship develops between them naturally. There is the possibility of a Romeo and Juliet type interaction between 2 of the families in the future. I'm looking forward to the next novel to see where the series goes with Lila, the competition between the families, and with the romantic interests. 

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. It's well written. Lila especially is well developed. The plot has complexities.

Waiting on Wednesday #90: Secondhand Souls by Christopher Moore

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly event hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. 

Secondhand Souls is the second book in the Grim Reaper series by Christopher Moore. A Dirty Job was the first book. Secondhand Souls is due out August 25th from William Morrow and Company.

Synopsis from Goodreads.com: 

Something really strange is happening in the City by the Bay. People are dying, but their souls are not being collected. Someone or something is stealing them and no one knows where they are going, or why, but it has something to do with that big orange bridge. Death Merchant Charlie Asher is just as flummoxed as everyone else. He's trapped in the body of a fourteen-inch-tall meat puppet waiting for his Buddhist nun girlfriend, Audrey, to find him a suitable new body to play host.

To get to the bottom of this abomination, a motley crew of heroes will band together: the seven-foot-tall death merchant Minty Fresh; retired policeman turned bookseller Alphonse Rivera; the Emperor of San Francisco and his dogs, Bummer and Lazarus; and Lily, the former Goth girl. Now if only they can get little Sophie to stop babbling about the coming battle for the very soul of humankind .

Why am I waiting on this book? It's a book by Christopher Moore with his odd sense of humor. I've wanted to know what will happen to Charlie Asher since the end of A Dirty Job. And I've wanted to know what will happen as little Sophie grows up from the days when she would point at someone or something and say "Kitty," and they would die. I'm also looking forward to the reprisal of roles by Sophie's babysitters. Those two old ladies are pretty awesome.

Review: Nightbird by Alice Hoffman

I don't often read middle-grade books, but I couldn't resist this one having been written by Alice Hoffman. She once again pens a terrific tale of magical realism. I found as the book progressed I read a little slower unconsciously trying to make the book last.

Twig is a young girl living in the small town of Sidwell, MA in the Berkshire mountains of Massachusetts. Her family is a bit unusual and they mostly keep to themselves. At least until this particular summer. A family moves into the house that was owned by Agnes Early, the witch. Agnes Early had placed a curse on Twig's family. Would her descendants have the same kind of animosity for her family? Can she break the curse?

And then there are the woods. Someone wants to sell them for development and someone else is trying to protect them by pretending there is a monster in the woods. The pretender leaves spray-painted designs all over the place asking for help and preservation of the woods and the home of the black sawhet owls.

In short, Nightbird is an enchanting story. There are fantasy or magical elements woven into the story in such a way that it's easy to suspend your disbelief. I consider this a tale of magical realism because most of it is about ordinary happenings with magical elements.

The story continuously propels you forward. You want to know what happens next. Will Twig succeed at what she is trying to do? Who is the monster of the Sidwell woods?

It's a good book basically for middle-grades and up. I give it 5 stars out of 5 stars because of the writing. It's a tale of magic, but it is also a tale of friendship and family.

Review: Wake (an End Times Novel) by Maia Sepp

"It's the end of the world as we know it..." (R.E.M.) This should be Camilla's theme song. The year is 2020 and Camilla Lou Brightly is having a little bit of bad luck. The ice in Greenland is melting and scientists like her father are predicting dire consequences. Meanwhile, Camilla is working for a PR firm that numbers among its most recent clients a firm that specializes in networking the smart appliances in homes so that you can do things like make coffee from your couch.

After her home is networked, someone starts blackmailing her over a secret she didn't know she had. Her refrigerator begins behaving in a sentient manner. And if that wasn't enough, she has been witness to a "nut-napping." 

With a little help from her friends at work, Camilla investigates what's going on and works hard to restore her life as best she can.  "Wake" - the prequel to "An Etiquette Guide to the End Times" - is a novel of climate change, unruly appliances, and finding a place to belong." (Goodreads.com)

The best thing about this novel is the sense of humor that is present throughout the book. There is a tongue in cheek way of looking at things. Yes, Camilla has problems, but for the most part she can find the good or bizarre in the situations. She strikes me mostly as a glass half full kind of woman. She is capable of worrying a situation to death and blurting out the wrong thing at the wrong time, but it doesn't take much to turn around her mood.

The plot of the book moves forward at a steady pace. The geological event worsens at about the same rate as the problems in Camilla's life. It's told from Camilla's point of view. The other important characters in the book seem to be well developed also.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Waiting on Wednesday #89: Trouble is a Friend of Mine by Stephanie Tromly

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly event hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. 

Expected publication: August 4, 2015
 by Kathy Dawson Books

Synopsis from the publisher: 

Sherlock meets Veronica Mars meets Ferris Bueller's Day Off in this story of a wisecracking girl who meets a weird but brilliant boy and their roller-coaster of a semester that's one part awkward, three parts thrilling, and five parts awesome

When Philip Digby first shows up on her doorstep, Zoe Webster is not impressed. He's rude and he treats her like a book he's already read and knows the ending to. But before she knows it, Digby--annoying, brilliant and somehow attractive?--has dragged her into a series of hilarious and dangerous situations all related to an investigation into the kidnapping of a local teenage girl. A kidnapping that may be connected to the tragic disappearance of his own sister eight years ago.

When it comes to Digby, Zoe just can't say no. Digby gets her, even though she barely gets herself. But is Digby a hero, or is his manic quest an indication of a desperate attempt to repair his broken family and exercise his own obsessive-compulsive tendencies? 

A romance where the leading man is decidedly unromantic, a crime novel where catching the crook isn't the only hook, a friendship story where they aren't even sure they like each other--this is a contemporary debut with razor-sharp dialogue, ridiculously funny action, and the most charismatic dynamic duo you've ever met. 

Why am I waiting on this one? 

I like the way it suggests it's like Sherlock meets Veronica Mars meets Ferris Bueller's Day Off. And, I like books where there is humor and this promises to be one of them.

Review Tour: Siren's Call by Debbie Herbert

Welcome to my stop on the Review Tour for Siren's Call by Debbie Herbert. Come take a look at this paranormal romance with mystery, suspense, lots of drama and a sensual romance and also enter the Giveaway to win cool prizes! :)



About the Book:

Title and Author: Siren's Call by Debbie Herbert 

Genre: Paranormal Romance, Harlequin Nocturne

Publication Date: 1st June 2015

Publisher: Harlequin

Tour Dates: 30 May- 1 June 2015

Blurb:

Mermaid mythology meets Native American lore. 

She was irresistible to every man…except one 

Lily Borsage is the ultimate siren: gorgeous, aloof and irresistible to all the men in Bayou La Siryna. All of them, that is, until Nashoba Bowman comes back to town. The Native American kid whose innocent first kiss Lily remembers fondly is now all grown-up, hot as an Alabama summer—and immune to Lily's charms. What self-respecting mermaid could resist finding out more? 

But Nash has a dark history that puts any woman he loves in grave danger, and a heritage of power he isn't ready to accept. And Lily has a secret that no mortal man can ever know. When a mysterious enemy starts menacing Lily, they will both have to risk everything—and embrace their deepest destinies—if they want to survive.

*This book can be read as a standalone.

My thoughts on Siren's Call:
Lily Bosarge is the first mermaid I've read about in a while. And this is the first book that I've read by Debbie Herbert. There are 2 other books in the series, but Siren's Call does read well as a standalone.

The book is well written and fast paced. The suspense is well done. Will the killer find Lily and wipe her out the way his last 2 girlfriends were killed? Will their secrets keep them apart?

I liked how the book mixed Native American folklore and mythology with European traditions about mermaids. The portions on mermaid heritage are thoughtful.

The romance is awesome. Nash and Lily don't hit it off all at once and their relationship develops along with the characters' development during the story.

You'll like this book if you enjoy paranormal mysteries or romantic suspense with a paranormal touch. I really enjoyed it and give it 4 out of 5 stars.
