When They Burned the Butterfly
by Wen-yi Lee
A solid read (10/1/2025)
I was very thrilled when I finished this book. I thought it was well written and had outstanding worldbuilding. I felt the characters were well written and the pacing was excellent. I was engrossed in the story right away. I will be recommending this to all my friends.
The Bone Thief
by Vanessa Lillie
A pretty good mystery (6/17/2025)
I enjoyed this indigenous mystery. Syd was a strong character who was at time in a tough situation. I felt the author did a wonderful job highlighting the struggles indigenous people have over respect for the artifacts and way off life. The mystery elements were well plotted. It was a pretty ok mystery.
The Sister's Curse
by Nicola Solvinic
A supernatural horror treat (6/14/2025)
I enjoyed this faced paced horror. The elements of the supernatural were engrossing. The FMC was a mixture of morally grey and conflicted. The story was atmospheric and the descriptive writing style made the eeriness more prevalent. The plot was original and I felt the story was suspenseful.
I do suggest you read The Hunter's Daughter first, as that story contains important backstop for the FMC and her parents. There were things mentioned or alluded to that I felt, having not read the first book, took away from the story foundation.
