Book reviews & lists for mystery readers
It’s Hard to Be a Vampire by Viktoria Faust is not a collection of vampire stories. However, the following subjects appear throughout the book as well as in vampire tales: murder for personal gain, the allure of the dark side, death, suicide, obsession, religion, and blood as a life-giving force. Vampires are central to just three of the nine pieces in this collection.
Island Games: Mystery of the Four Quadrants by Caleb J Boyer was an enjoyable and highly entertaining read. But let me explain my ecstatic response to a simple, fantasy adventure novel written by a twelve-year-old boy.
Drawn from Life, by Sarah P. Blanchard, is a thriller set in North Carolina. Sensible, kind Emma and her narcissistic cousin Lucy have been raised together due to Lucy’s mother’s frequent absences. While in university, they become roommates in a remote cabin in the woods.
In her Infinity series, Catalina DuBois sweeps readers away on a romantic journey through history.
