I’ve just finished reading three good books, two by Patricia Briggs and one by a new to me author, Sarah Allen. I picked up Allen’s Garden Spells on a whim, because it was on sale and a genre I enjoy. I’d never heard of either author or title, and I like gardens, so I took a chance. Glad I did, since I will now be collecting the rest of her available books.
By Patricia Briggs: the Hurog duology (Dragon Bones, Dragon Blood). Both excellent reads, and I do not recommend picking up one without the other unless you can download the missing title before the shakes set in. Loved the world, the characters, the story. More, please.
Garden Spells features a Southern family with magical abilities, their garden, and the tree of knowledge it contains which can play havoc with people’s lives. This is a good story for both fantasy and romance fans.
Read any good books lately?
Just finished “The Iron Duke” (to be discussed on the blog–fascinating story). 😉
Just starting one of the books of the “Frankenstein” series by Dean Koontz, and about to pounce upon “Frostfire”.
And I may have to check out “Garden Spells”, sounds good.
Raine, I think you’d like Garden Spells. I’m moving on to her Peach Keeper next. I still need to read Iron Duke and I’m kind of saving Frostfire for a sick day, since I need something to really hold my attention when those hit.
Dean Koontz is always a good read.
