Linger by Maggie Stiefvater

What if being a werewolf was triggered by the weather and not the moon?  What if you could be "cured"?  That is the premise of your basic misunderstood teenager novel.  It was okay, would have been better if I had read the first in the series but I had read quite a bit before I realized there one before it.

Real Murders by Charlaine Harris

What could be more engaging than a group of acquaintances that gather together each month to discuss murder, famous ones that is.  All is well until Roe Teagarden, small town librarian, finds a member murdered just before a meeting.

Well known murders are being copied with members of the group either being targeted for murder or implicated in the deaths. 

A cozy mystery that is page turning and well written and best of all the first of a series.

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard: Book 1 The Sword of Summer

Rick Riordan sends the reader into Norse mythology this go round and it is outstanding.  If you have read the Percy Jackson series, including the Lost Hero, there are several jokes you will get that just adds to the rampant humor in the face of death and potential dismemberment
Well written, fast paced, lots of surprises and an overall good read.  Yes, it is a Young Adult novel but all takes to be young is the right attitude. :)

Venus Envy by Rita Mae Brown

I read this book probably twenty years ago and enjoyed it so was happy when I found it at an antique store so I could have my own copy.  The time between readings made it even more enjoyable I think. 

Mary Frazier Armstrong is told she only have days to live from lung cancer. That news, along with a morphine drip, promotes her to write letters to her family and close friends telling the truth about herself and the things she things they need to know about themselves.  Nothing like a little truth to cause an upheaval.  Imagine if you told your friends and family the honest truth about yourself and how you viewed them.

A book on self-reflection that will make you examine your life also. Highly recommended.

Library of Souls by Ransom Riggs

Jacob and Emma travel into new territories looking to save Miss Peregrine and her fellow ymbrynes from a fate worse than death.  Luckily Jacob's peculiarity has appeared, he can control hallowgast, sometimes. From modern London to Devil's Acre, the worst of the worst come into play.

The third novel of Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children is darker than the first two with a constant reminder that bad things happen to good people and sometimes circumstances are way beyond your personal control.  Well worth reading but if you are looking for a light hearted adventure this is not the book for you.

Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris

Sookie has definitely grown a pair and when it comes to a pissing contest she seems to be holding her own.  She learns more about her heritage, gets a bit of space from Eric to think, is offered a relationship by Bill and of course there is lots of drama. 
Every book I like her more as she struggles with her morals, being expedite in situations and still trying to do the right thing.  Seeing her grow in her self awareness is just what the series needed.  Looking forward to the final book in the series.

Dead In The Family by Charlaine Harris

Eric's maker shows up and he and his "offspring" are a literal drain of emotional energy.  Claude moves in with Sookie which is puzzling to her but nice in a way.  Her cousin Hadley's son comes for a visit which is tiring in that 5 year old energy that must be watched all the time and oh yeah, he is a telepath too.

Fast paced, made me stay up late and get up early, one of the better Sookie books I have read.
