Review: Serafina and the Black Cloak

Serafina and the Black Cloak Serafina and the Black Cloak by Robert Beatty
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Serafina and the Black Cloak is a wonderful middle grade novel that combines fantasy, mystery and historical fiction. The story follows a young girl, Serafina, who lives in the basement of the famous Biltmore Manor as she discovers a secret about herself and unravels a mystery surrounding missing children from the estate. I was lucky enough to attend a book signing for this book at a local Barnes and Noble and hear the author speak as well as see the cover for the next book. Overall I would highly recommend Serafina and the Black cloak for children and children at heart, and I can't wait for the next book in the series and to see more from author Robert Beatty.

An Improbable Season by Rosalyn Eves

I really enjoyed this cute Regency Romance. The story was engaging, and the characters and plot managed to feel modern while also remaining mostly historically accurate. I really hope we get more of Thalia's story, as well.  *I received a review copy from the publisher through Netgalley

Wildwood Magic by Willa Reece

Wildwood Magic was one of my most anticipated reads for this year, and it definitely held up to my expectations. It was just as magical as Wildwood Whispers, and I loved getting a look at the previous generation in Morgan's Gap. As a person who grew up in Southwest VA, I can also say that Willa Reece does an excellent job of capturing small town life and Appalachian culture. As always, I'm hoping there will be more to come.  *I received a review copy from the publisher through Netgalley
