My picks for the month
Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake. Sequel to the creepy/wonderful Anna Dressed in Blood. Gotta read it.
The Dead I Know by Scott Gardner. A can't-put-it-down contemporary read with a mystery subplot. Aaron's work at a funeral parlour illustrates how working with the dead can help us deal with the living. Recommended for fans of Lisa McMann's Dead to You.
Starling by Lesley Livingston (8/21). First in Livingston's new series set in the same world as her Wonderous Strange trilogy. Love Fenn. Love Mason. Love this fun, fabulous book.
Such Wicked Intent by Kenneth Oppel (8/28). The follow-up to This Dark Endeavour is more wicked and more fun than the first book of Oppel's retelling of Victor Frankenstein's teen years.
