Aloha, Candy Hearts, by Anthony Bidulka
Still so much love for this series - the protagonist and secondary characters are marvelous, like old friends. In theory a series about an excop PI shouldn't be a cozy, but I feel like this one is, and I like it that way. :)

Shadow of Night, by Deborah Harkness
Started slow for some reason - maybe I've just been reading too many Elizabethan-flavored novels lately. But once there was an actual plot to dig my teeth into, it became incredibly hard to put down.

Natural Born Cyborgs, by Andy Clark
Smart and thought-provoking. Written in 2002, but it felt fresh.

The Beasts of Valhalla, by George C. Chesbro
This series just gets more and more gonzo with each book. Glad I'm rereading it, even with the flaws that I didn't notice as a teenager that I do notice now.

In the Coils of the Snake, by Claire B. Dunkle
Satisfying conclusion to this odd and appealing YA fantasy trilogy. Distanced in the way I don't mind.

Red-Robed Priestess, by Elizabeth Cunningham
There is no one quite like Cunningham's Maeve. Delightful as always; funny and heartfelt.

Twice Upon a Marigold, by Jean Ferris
This was a fun story with splashes of extreme niftiness, but more of a sputtering flame as opposed to the sparkler of the first one in the series. Some books don't really need a sequel? Still, it made me smile.
