The Boy Who Cried Bear by Kelley Armstrong
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Classic Kelley, a quick and enjoyable read with an engaging plot, good characters, and an ending that leaves you wanting more. It's like a mini vacation reading about the adventures in the Yukon that I can enjoy from the safety of my own living room.

I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

A Botanist's Guide to Parties and Poisons by Kate Khavari
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was an enjoyable read. The characters and mystery were well thought out. It was a bit slow for me but did pick up near the end. The time period made it a fun flashback and I always enjoy an academic setting. Definitely a good cozy mystery.

When doing the right thing in a male dominated society proves fruitless, take a deep dive into the dark side and embrace all that it has to offer. The black and white of good evil are grayed in this beautifully illustrated tale. @GeraldBrom https://t.co/lbZOFxl9XG

A short-story that is not short on creepy. The perfect late-night fright that will chill you to the bone. @casskhaw @TorNightfire https://t.co/9ErT4W7bPl

Spanning across centuries with multiple narratives, you won't want to stop reading this epic saga. With rich storytelling and fantastic imagery, this is one of my favorite books of the year. @ScribnerBooks https://t.co/2TwiXSyktB

Experience this unique and tumultous coming-of-age that has plenty of heart and humor. There is so much to love in this small Irish town and its entire cast of characters. @Louise_Nealon @HarperCollins https://t.co/JU9SeQzGpw

Dark academia gets a new addition with this whodunit, page turner. Houses with dark secrets and those with hearts darker still, this faux love story is a cautionary tale. @lisajewelluk @AtriaBooks https://t.co/2TVF2ia10F

Started out strong and just when you think the story is resolved, it surprises you with even more intrigue and action. I loved the family dynamics in this book and I would love to see it on the big screen. @AtriaBooks @CSullivanBooks https://t.co/yfbNW10FNg
