Rick Riordan Presents: The Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities: New Stories About Mythic Heroes
This book is a compilation of ten stories. There is a monster, a ghost, and more. Many cultures are represented such as Navajo, Korean, and Mexican. Something I didn’t know when I brought this book home is that it is part of a series, so I need to start from the beginning. This is Book Four. Who knew?
Prophecy by Ellen Oh
Kira is a demon slayer who’s also protecting the prince. She and the prince find themselves on the run following an old prophecy about treasure. Many readers like this Korean-themed fantasy. It is the first of a trilogy.
Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve
This follows a similar plot to Prophecy, where a pair, Tom and Hester, are traveling together whether they want to or not. It is like a dog-eat-dog world but city-against-city. Mortal Engines looks to be an action-packed adventure story that is the first of the series. Have you seen the movie?
Blue Moon by Lee Child
I need to jump on the Lee Child bandwagon. Blue Moon is Book 24 of 28 in the Jack Reacher series. Jack Reacher is like the new James Bond. I enjoyed the movies with Tom Cruise, so I’m sure I’ll like the books even better.
Behind Closed Doors by B. A. Paris
The perfect couple on the outside, but after a closer look, the wife is never away from the husband. Is it true love? Or is something weird and unsafe going on? San Francisco Book Review states, “This is one of the best and most terrifying psychological thrillers I have ever read.” It looks great, but I might have to read it with the lights on.
