Nevermore

Sunset Beach by Mary Kay Andrews
Reluctantly accepting a job with her father's
law firm, Drue finds herself
investigating the possibility of corruption within
the office after a suspicious death at a nearby resort.
A very light and easy read but
too formulaic and predictable. –

Touch: a Novel by Olaf Olafsson
When he receives a message
from a lover from the 60s who disappeared, restaurant owner Kristofer is pulled
toward finding an answer to the mystery of her sudden departure, compelling him
to travel to London and Japan just as the virus threatens to shut everything

Poetic and emotional –
beautifully written with well-developed characters. –NH 5

The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo
During the Spanish Golden
Age, Luzia Cotado,
gifted with magic,
garners the attention of the disgraced secretary to Spain's king, plunging her into a world
where the lines
between magic, science,
and fraud blur—and
where she must enlist the help of an
embittered immortal familiar
whose deadly secrets
could destroy them both.
Filled with intrigue and magic, I really liked it. –MH
