Night of the Werewolf By: Franklin W. Dixon

You can tell that this one is the "new" Hardy Boys. The original canon of books are numbers 1 through 58. This one uses a recycled plot line, is INCREDIBLY un-P.C., even for the Hardy Boys, and the ending was too quick and convenient.  

 

The Things We Do To Our Friends By: Heather Darwent

What an utterly creepy, eerie, deliciously malevolent story!!  I can't write anything more about this book without giving away plot points.  Suffice it to say, if you want a really good read. that will f**k with your mind, this is the book for you!

 

The Sting of the Scorpion By: Franklin W. Dixon

Meh...too much happening in this one.  Didn't really hold my attention, and the ending was a little too pat, even for a Hardy Boys mystery.

Western Alliances By: Wilton Barnhardt

I didn't know what to make of this book when I tarted reading it. I couldn't tell if it was a family drama; a treatise on finance; and art history book; a European history book; a mystery...and after a while I didn't care what it was...I was having a blast following Roberto around Europe and would go where he went.  A mess, in the best possible way, Roberto is charming, a touch evil, sympathetic and someone I enjoyed spending time with.  This was a great surprise and a great read.

 

The Firebird Rocket By: Franklin W. Dixon

I have to say that this one, harkened back to the beginning of the series. It was a well plotted mystery that didn't veer off into a bunch of side stories or tangents.  Added bonsu with this one, they Hardy Boys and Chet got to visit Australia.

You Will Never Be Found By: Tove Alsterdal

A dark, cold mystery/thriller that takes its time, while gripping the reader. Interesting characters entangled with a a series of crimes and each other.  Interestingly told, I'm glad I found You Will Never Be Found!

 

Woman of Light By: Kali Fajardo-Anstine

An extraordinary novel showing the importance of storytelling, the importance of the stories being told, and the importance of who is tell the stories.  Following the story of a family over four generations in the Denver area, Woman of Light shines a light on the resilience of these characters, of a people and on the one sided history that the majority of us are taught. I just adored these characters, and finished the book wanting more of their stories. A wonderful read!

Manuscript: #10 in a popular cozy series By: A Friend

Fans of this series will LOVE this addition!  I'm so thankful that the author trusts me with their book baby!

The Jungle Pyramid By: Franklin W. Dixon

A fun romp through Zurich and Mexico to look for some missing gold.  Add some dangerous animals and a mysterious stranger and you've got a really good time with the Hardy Boys and their friends.

 

Sipsworth By: Simon Van Booy

What an absolutely sweet book!  An honest to goodness, feel good story that is not overly sappy.  It's sweet, charming and just lovely!  I highly recommend!
