Mermen by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

Mermen (Mermen Trilogy, #1)Mermen by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Not my normal kind of read, but I have to say it was really rather good. Better than what I expected to be honest.
Not a mer-tail in sight but so many twists and turns. The story is well written and the main characters are likeable. The mermen sound like hunky Adonis's when Mimi describes them with their rippling bodies all wet and glistening :)
Highly recommend if you want some brain candy.

Satan's Shorts by Heide Goody

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have not read any of the Clovenhoof books but after reading this I will.
Although this one is short stories not all featuring Clovenhoof, I thought they were very funny and had me giggling out loud a few times.
I also thought it was well written.
The situations that Clovenhoof got himself into were outrageously silly but just so damned funny. Loved it!

The Last Airship by Christopher Cartwright

The Last Airship (Sam Reilly Book 1)The Last Airship by Christopher Cartwright
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed the storyline. It was a bit slow in places, but once it got going, it became really action packed with likeable characters.
It could do with some proof reading though as there were a few mistakes but don't let that put you off.
If you are a fan of the Numa Files books by Clive Cussler then I am sure you will enjoy this book as it is in a similar vain.

I didn't really learn anything new about mindfulness to be honest.
But saying that, it has some very good breathing and body scan exercises in it that I found very helpful and I am sure others will to.

Amara's Daughter by E H Howard

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A very enjoyable action packed read.
My only criticism is that it wasn't proof edited very well.
It took me a few chapters to really get into it and the writing wasn't brilliant but got better as the book progressed.

The Sea Detective by Mark Douglas-Home

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was evenly paced, and well written combining two stories about Asian children sold into sex slavery and Cal's determination to find out what really happened to his grandfather during the war.
I found Cal's character fascinating along with all his flaws.
If you want to read a good crime novel, I would highly recommend!

Cranberry Bluff by Deborah Garner

Cranberry BluffCranberry Bluff by Deborah Garner
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A nice quick read, although I found a lot of it a bit predictable. But very nice for a mystery with plenty of characters and nice descriptions.
The book setting was quaint and it did make me feel that I would like to stay there and be served all the yummy sounding food :)
The book also contains recipes that all contain cranberries.
