The Scottish Ladies' Detective Agency by Lydia Travers


The Scottish Ladies' Detective Agency is a good start to a new Cozy Mystery series. The story is set in Edinburgh in 1911 and the main character Maude and her former lady's maid Diasy run a new detective agency. The characters were relatable and the mystery plots were engaging. I can't wait for more of this series.

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

Accomplished: A Georgie Darcy Novel by Amanda Quain

Image
Accomplished is a modern day retelling of Pride and Prejudice from Georgiana Darcy's point of view. It picks up in the aftermath of her older brother and guardian discovering George Wickham selling drugs out of her dorm room and deals with Georgiana learning to cope on her own and accept help from others.The story is written in the first person, and there is lots of teenage angst, but overall it is a really good story. I'm always interested to see how author's handle the Wickham situation in modern retellings, and I think Amanda Quain chose well. Overall, if you don't mind a bit of teenage angst, I highly recommend this book. *I received a review copy from the publisher through Netgalley

The Nine: Origins has so many of the things I love in books. There is a well thought out system of magic, a secret society, an intriguing mystery, and some Dark Academia vibes. I loved this book and couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the rest of the series. * I received a review copy from the publisher through Netgalley
