Night Elves of Ardani
by Nina K Westra

I loved this book. I was totally drawn in from the beginning. I loved the star-crossed lovers vibe, and the language barrier trope. I also loved the lore and creepy sentient forest! Can’t wait for more of this series.
The Child I Never Had
by Kate Hewitt
View in Library Catalog



A very powerful, emotion-packed story of two families and decisions made by both. A child is adopted and the birth and adoptive mothers agree to an open adoption where the birth mother will be in contact with the child. This creates stresses that lead to decisions that are not always in everyone’s best interest. These decisions then lead to a moving finale, hopefully, resolving, at least, some of the familial conflicts.
Afterparties

This is an interesting collection of short stories that center around the life of Khmer Cambodian immigrants in this country and the challenges they face in the wake of the genocide they escaped. One aspect of this study is the generational differences between parents who escaped and children who were born here. Several stories are also told from the point of view of a young gay Khmer man, and examine the competing guilt between cultural obligations and one’s personal obligations. While I learned a lot, sadly most of the book had a sad or unhappy tone.
Go As A River

"At a certain point you say to the woods, to the sea, to the mountains to the world, Now I am ready." This beautifully written debut novel tells to story of Victoria Nash who, after the death of her mother, lives with her father, brother and crippled uncle on a peach farm in Colorado until one day, when a chance meeting with a stranger changes the course of her life. The river is such a beautiful metaphor for the changes that come to Victoria and the real-life town of Iola, which was part of government's reclamation act as part of building the Blue Mesa Dam. Spanning 20+ years, the author thoughtfully reveals the Victoria's life story Like a river, Victoria faces many obstacles and must carry many pieces with her along the way. This novel is sure to be one of my favorite books of the year!
Dark corners

This was a really great book. I was skeptical because it is of a character she has already written of, but this one was better than the first featuring this character. I will say Escape Room is still her best, but this book was enjoyable.
The Spectacular

An exciting page-turner that contains a little bit of mystery, love, friendship, struggle, and suspense. I couldn't put the book down! Enjoy!
Homecoming

Phew!! Finally finished this book, a mystery of family secrets that spans generations. It’s the story of family secrets and devotion. The middle took awhile to get through, but I’m glad that I did. The ending resolved-the case and tied up many loose ends. I love when I find a passage in a book that I can relate to. I can remember when I was a child and spending the summer in a summer bungalow, being so close to my mom. And, then feeling jealous when an aunt visited and I felt left out. There’s one similar scene in this book that struck a nerve with me.
Joyland

While more of a who-done-it than a supernatural thriller, this story does embody both. I think King’s gift is being able to tell a story about everyday people and everyday events so wonderfully that when you get to the weird stuff, it just seems to make sense. But most of this story is about a college boy on spring break after the love of his life breaks up with him, and how a small-time amusement park saves him while he helps save the park. Excellent read!
The Latecomer

This was somewhat of a page-turner. There were times when I thought, this is it, I'm done; where is this going? But when I was two-thirds through the book, I wanted to know when the Latecomer would appear. Then it happened and from then on it was Wowza! Four stars just because of the last third of the story. LOL
