Review: Through Gates of Garnet and Gold

Through Gates of Garnet and Gold by Seanan McGuire
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thanks to Netgalley and Tor for the pre-release copy of Through Gates of Garnet and Gold by Seanan McGuire. Below you'll find my honest review.

Another trip through the Doors, not to Confection, not to the Moors,

This time a trip to Nancy's home, so close in nature to Christopher's bones.

The ghostly specters are riled up mad, the end for the statues gruesome and bad,

so back Nancy goes to the school for her friends, to get help to stop these untimely ends.

Off on a quest, a handful of them go, their bravery and courage and cleverness show.

Seanan's done it again, this book's a delight! Now hurry and go read all that she writes!

Highly recommended, especially if you've read the rest of these (this one does spoil prior books!)

Review: The Storm

The Storm by Rachel Hawkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's for the pre-release copy of Rachel Hawkins' The Storm. Below is my honest review.

My first Hawkins novel was The Heiress, and I really loved it, so when I saw this, I knew I had to request it. And I'm glad I did, because yet again, I really enjoyed it. It was a little predictable in places, but it was also a great read - it would be even better as a beach read or a "sitting in the hot tub at a mountain cabin" kinda read.

I think Hawkins really excels at creating an immersive setting, and she's a master of setting up that compelling chapter ending that makes you want to read just one more.

Highly recommended for thriller/mystery fans.
