So yummy, so good…

What am I reading? A lot of good things!
First, do you remember those three Iranian sisters in Ireland? Yes, Marjan, Bahar and Layla are back in “Rosewater and Soda Bread” by Marsha Mehran. Marjan is helping a mystical creature and cooking her way into the heart of a very handsome landlord. Bahar is acting strangely, becoming very strict and maybe hiding secrets and Layla is up to no good with her boyfriend… should read the book, I can’t tell you everything!
Again remember that group of police detectives in Rome? Nic Costa, Leo Falcone, Gianini Peroni, Theresa Lupe and Emily Deacon are facing some unsolved cases and looking for vicious murderers in “The seventh sacrament” by David Hewson. Everyone is looking forward to a summer wedding and some happy times but before that there are lots of obstacles to go through. Again, read the book, you’re gonna love it!
Two books on Constable Evans series by Rhys Bowen: “Evan's gate” and “Evanly bodies”. Didn’t like the setting and characters. Reminded me of Miss Maple, too much Welsh countryside!
But Ms. Bowen’ other series Molly Murphy mystery is a treasure I’m savoring book by book. So far in “Murphy's law” I got to know Molly, her reasons for going to New York City and how she is dealing with life in a big city in 1930’s. Then in “Death of Riley” we see how Molly chooses her career, what inspires her and how she is going to make money and be independence. Can’t wait to read the rest of series. These books have great mysteries, lovely funny cast of characters and very interesting look at life at the time. A joy to read!
“Her royal spyness” is the first book of another historical series also by Rhys Bowen. A great read, a lovable character and a fun time frame, what else a fan of historical novels and mysteries can ask for?
Finally read the nth book of Blackdagger Brotherhood “Lover enshrined” by J.R. Ward. It was much better that V’s story. Phury is changing the tradition, gets over his addiction, falls in love, blah blah…. Had a lot of though sounding dialogues. Thor is back… John is growing up… Omega has a son, Scribe Virgin has a daughter… one question, if she had a son and a daughter why she is called Virgin?
Am still following the series but don’t like it anymore, just in interest of science,… you understand?
A great new series (new for me anyway) is the Pink Carnation series by Lauren Willig. My favorite period of history, after France revolution and during the napoleon regime, this series explores the life of one great English spy who protected the England against ambitions of Napoleon. We get to know so very interesting characters and hear a couple of romances in “The secret history of the Pink Carnation”. The good thing is, you get to know who the elusive Pink Carnation is and you are one step ahead of every one else in the series!
Due to my just finding out about the series I actually read the fourth book “The seduction of the crimson rose" before the first or even second and third! Oh, well, I just have to go read it again after finishing the second and third book I guess. But let me tell you this much, there are a lot of great adventures ahead and I guess Ms. Willig can continue the series with success. Her story telling is mesmerizing and all the twist and time frame changes? It makes for a wonderful read. Hope you enjoy it as much as I!
