I just cannot with this book! ** Oy – not a fan. DNF’d before page 50. *** It’s a good story in general. **** Great read – highly recommend! ***** OMG I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH I WANT TO LIVE IN IT! Finicky Fyction Book Reviewer Rating: ****4/5**** A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness Book 1 – The All Souls Trilogy A wonderful, forbidden love story with no hint of a sparkle. *Minor Spoilers I truly loved A Discovery of Witches . A fresh, expansive urban setting with a forbidden paranormal romance between a vampire and a witch. This had a definite adult feel to it, rather than the Young Adult romance we are used to. Vampires, witches, and daemons all existing within modern human society, but governed by higher laws and all with dwindling powers makes for an enjoyable and tension-filled read.

Another stellar installment by the master of high-octane action-adventure. *No Spoilers The Two Lost Mountains is the 6 th book in the Jack West series. The novels are a cross between Indiana Jones and Jason Bourne, complete with ancient treasures and conspiracies all rolled into one. The scope and grandeur of the settings are phenomenal and the clever way legends, ancient cultures, and buildings are woven together make me sit back and marvel at the level of research it must take to make it all believable. You need to strap yourself in when you read any Matthew Reilly book, and this one is no exception. J
