Review: What Beauty There Is

What Beauty There Is by Cory Anderson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received an ARC Kindle edition of this book from NetGalley.

Let's get the trigger warnings out of the way: suicide, child abuse, graphic violence, kidnapping, murder

This is one of those books that will leave you speechless (in a good way). It's a fast paced read and the suspense will keep pulling you along. There is some graphic violence, but it does not slow the story at all.

Based on what I am seeing, this book is the start of a series. The book offers closure so it will be interesting to see where the second book takes us. I look forward to it.

I read this book as part of the POPSUGAR Reading Challenge 2021 - A book that's published in 2021.

Review: Aoife and Scathach, Shadow Twins

Aoife and Scathach, Shadow Twins by Michael Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There are two short stories in this one: Aoife of the Shadows and Scathach the Shadow and the Clan of Eriu.

There were several errors in Kindle version the book (iIf, for example), but it did not take away from the stories. Scathach's story (~15 pages) was not nearly as interesting as Aoife's (~65 pages) and seemed to be a quick beginning and conclusion with no real build up. There is quite a bit of foreshadowing with two paths destined to cross ("Everything has a reason."), so I hope we get more of their stories.
