Nevermore: Evan Warlow, Key Trilogy, Theo of Golden

 

Our first Nevermore member recommended Rhys Dylan’s Evan Warlow series which is set in Wales.  In the first book, The Engine House, retired DCI Warlow is called in when a landslide reveals the bodies of two missing persons—a case Warlow had investigated eight years earlier.  The books make good use of the location, with local color highlighting the mystery. 4 Stars FE


Nora Roberts’ Key trilogy captured the attention of another reader.  Three women are brought together to free the imprisoned souls of three demigoddesses. Described as “mindless but fun” the books are Key of Light, Key of Knowledge, and Key of Valor. 4 Stars MH

Theo of Golden by Allen Levi continues to make the rounds.  This week’s reviewer praised it for its heart and humor, adding that it somehow managed to avoid cursing, which she found very refreshing. Four Stars WJ
