Nevermore: Frugal Wizard, Tumbling Girl, Episode Thirteen

 


Reported by Rita

The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson follows an amnesiac wizard on a time traveling journey to discover his missing memories. Filled with fantasy and humor, our reader called it a fun read. WJ



The Tumbling Girl by Bridget Walsh is a mystery thriller set in Victorian London. When Minnie Ward’s best friend is murdered she finds herself involved in the investigation. Was it a serial killer? Our reader didn’t stick around to find out saying that while the characters were colorful, the story became too boring to finish. PP

 


Episode Thirteen by Craig DiLouie is a paranormal thriller told through tapes, journals, and correspondence. The story follows a team of hunters behind the scenes of a ghost hunting reality TV show. Described as a really cool book, it didn’t deliver the level of horror our reader expected. MF
