Elizabeth Hunter is an author I have enjoyed for more than a decade. She has many great series. Her world building is rich and her characters feel authentic. Although, with some of them it’s good they are fictional. Tin God is a crossover between two series, Elemental Covenant and Elemental Legacy, which is fun having […]
The entire Red Winter trilogy all in one great audiobook. This trilogy is steeped in Japanese culture and lore. It follows a young girl, Emi who has always known she would be a vessel for a goddess Amaterasu on earth one day and the sneaky fox she saved who has tricks up his sleeve and […]

Was the artist murdered? What were Julia’s secrets? The Paris art world and Paris World’s Fair become the setting for Frances and George’s latest case. Dianne Freeman does a bang up job at setting the historical scene, writing a good twisting mystery and providing a pair of delightful amateur sleuths. An Art Lover’s Guide to […]
