Queen of the Spirit Woods by Sharon Choe ~ a Review

by MK French

Mirae faked her way into a job as a royal kitchen maid to send money to her family. It's a hard job, especially after there was an assassination attempt against the king. She gets in the way of the prickly crown prince's investigation, and a chance encounter with a witch in the spirit woods leaves her the vessel for ten thousand spirits and deities. Her power spills out into the palace kitchens, where the kindly nobleman Wonshik helps her. This puts Mirae in the crosshairs of a power struggle between Wonshik's best friend, Prince Jae, and the queen. With the help of a fellow kitchen maid and a ghost, Mirae must help find the traitor within the palace before the looming threat from an empire threatens to overwhelm them all.

Drown the Bones by Alexandra Kennington ~ a Review

by MK French

Merridan doesn't mind being the younger twin, and knows her brother Von will one day make a great king. She spends her time in devotion to the Goddess, using her magic to send spirits to the underworld. When Von is murdered, she is convinced the rival kingdom had done it, since they revere a different Goddess and dabble in necromancy. Merridan does a forbidden ritual to speak to her brother’s ghost, but raises their crown prince Phoenix Darragon, who had been murdered the same night as Von. The prince makes Merridan a deal: if she takes his spirit to be resurrected, he will help her find her brother’s killer. Uncovering the truth about Von's killer means learning about Phoenix's secrets and raises the possibility of war between their kingdoms. Now she must decide whether finding the truth is worth its cost if it means her relationship with the Goddess is changed forever.

October Mini-Review Round Up

by Donna Huber

In addition to all the books I receive for review each month, I also read books for 2 book clubs. Since I don't get as many audiobooks for review as I can listen to in a month, I use my library, and recently I tried Chirp. These titles are usually a bit older, so if you don't want to buy new releases or be on a long waitlist at a library, you can try these.
