✏️ My Review:
Storm Cursed by Patricia Briggs was a feast of supernatural proportion. Mercy Thompson is my favorite character. She is a car mechanic, shapeshifter married to an Alpha werewolf and she has the most amazing mix of supernatural friends. Some are fae, some are vampires, some breathe fire and some are just plain humans. Don’t think that this is a light-hearted read; it is jammed packed with action and some hot moments between Adan and Mercy.

Storm Cursed is the 11th book in the Mercy Thompson Series. In this book, Mercy will be called to fight miniature zombie goats (don’t laugh, these are dangerous little buggers, and not easy to catch), goblins, more zombies (one of them is a cow), and powerful witches. She will need all the help of her supernatural friends and foes to defeat the black witches.

I love this series because it has a kick arse female superhero who is not afraid to be herself. To really enjoy this series, you need to read the books in order because the author often refers to events which took place in previous books. Don’t let the number of books discourage you, it is worth reading every one of them. You won’t regret it.

Thank you Penguin Random House Canada for sending me a final copy of this spectacular book. Storm Cursed will be available at your favourite bookstore on May 7, 2019.

Review: The Last Love Note by Emma Grey

The Last Love Note by Emma Grey My rating: 3 of 5 stars In THE LAST LOVE NOTE by Emma Grey, I embarked on a journey filled with conflicting emotions. Despite my initial eagerness to delve deeper into the narrative, the unexpected weightiness of the prose caught me off guard. The narrative's frequent jumps in timeline, especially in audiobook format, proved disorienting and challenging to follow. However, Leeanna Walsman's narration was outstanding, rescuing the experience with her excellent delivery. The novel grapples with poignant themes, exploring the profound ideas of seizing life's moments and nurturing hope amid pain. Yet, occasional forced dialogue and slapstick humor felt incongruent with the somber tone. Nevertheless, the commendable growth of the characters and the author's skill in infusing joy and hope into a challenging narrative make it a worthwhile read. While my personal experience may differ, many readers have found this book highly enjoyable, so I e...

Review: Every Note Played

Every Note Played by Lisa Genova My rating: 5 of 5 stars I want to thank NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Canada for granting me an advanced copy of the Every Note Played book by Lisa Genova. Lisa Genova, author of "Still Alice" and "Inside the O'Briens", delivers yet another masterpiece. Every Note Played is a novel which addresses the devastating effect of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) on a celebrated pianist and his family. ALS (a.k.a. motor neuron disease (MND) or Lou Gehrig's disease) causes the death of neurons controlling voluntary muscles. Over time, as the muscles of the body break down, someone living with ALS loses the ability to walk, talk, eat, swallow, and eventually breathe. At 45, Richard is diagnosed with ALS. His career is over and he has no one to turn to for help. Karina, his ex-wife, driven by guilt, becomes his reluctant caretaker. This endeavour is more than she bargains for, and both she and Richard are faced w...
