Short and Sweet Book Reviews # 377- Cry Wolf by Maggie Shayne, Wishes and Wellingtons by Julie Berry

Cry Wolf by Maggie Shayne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It is great to see Brown and de Luca again. It is also unexpected as the series seemed to have come to an end. Not so as the two work together to find out what and why a young boy is missing. Both Brown and de Luca are in top form. There is the missing boy, the famous mystic and of course Rachel who is not a you know what. Nice mix of characters, plot and action and as always a twist at the end.


Wishes and Wellingtons by Julie Berry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What do you do with a foul-tempered djinni. If you are Maeve Merritt you take two of your friends on a adventure and turn enemies hair green. Then you have one wish left and that leads to more trouble than you ever expected. I loved how Maeve grew as she had to work out how to save people, keep her djinni, and be true to her friends. This was a fun adventure and coming of age story where all well that ends well for Maeve and friends.

Jayne Entwistle brings the character alive in this fun story.

Sleep with the Lights On by Maggie Shayne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Here is the Beginning of Sleep With the Lights On (Brown and De Luca #1)

"He watched the body sink in slow motion through the murky green water. Tears blurred his eyes, obstructing his view, but he wiped them away," From the Prologue

"If the bullshit I wrote was true, I wouldn't have been standing in the middle of a beehive where all the bees were cops - not one worker bee in the hive, either - trying to get someone interested in finding out what had happened to my brother." From Chapter One

The Prologue was so creepy I wondered if I could stand to read the book; then I got hooked and could not put it down. It is a paranormal mystery/romance and the start to a new series featuring Rachel de Luca and Mason Brown. After I finished reading Sleep With the Lights On I immediately went to NetGalley to get Wake To Darkness the next book in the series.
