The Empress of Time by Kylie Lee Baker ~ a Review

by MK French


The Empress of Time
is the sequel to The Keeper of Night (read my review here), the second half of the duology. Ren left Britain for Japan, learning about her Shinigami heritage, feeling torn between and judged wanting by both halves. While she was able to complete the impossible task of eliminating three particular yokai, she didn't count on becoming the goddess of death in Japan. Britain's goddess is now Ivy, the same leader of the gang that had tormented her. In order to stop her from reaching Japan, Ren must complete another impossible mission: find the sword that the god of storms and seas wants. While she has the help of the god of the moon, she is working against the interests of various gods and demons, and the future of Japan is at stake.

Holiday Romance by Catherine Walsh ~ a Review

by Donna Huber


Ten years ago, Molly and Andrew happened to sit next to each other on their Christmas flight home to Ireland. What started as a coincidence turns into a regular, planned occurrence. Though they occasionally cross paths during the year, the Christmas flight home is the time they spend together. Andrew is all about Christmas and family and Molly is ambivalent about the holiday and visits her family out of obligation. The flight is the highlight for Molly because she gets to spend the 7+ hours with Andrew. They catch up, discuss who they are dating or broken up with, and just enjoy being together.

Funeral Train: A Dust Bowl Mystery by Laurie Loewenstein ~ a Review

by Susan Roberts


"The train's desolate song suited the time and place - December, 1935 - smack in the crosshairs of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl.  Together, they had done their worst to this raggedly piece of the Oklahoma panhandle.  Some farmers and merchants had packed up and deserted the meagerly populated High Plains.  Some had stayed but shrank into themselves, ashamed of their collective poverty." 
(p13)
