I read a dozen books in February 2021. 11 ARCs from NetGalley or Edelweiss. And one library book. Some were books I’d been looking forward to since they were announced. Others were new-to-me authors.
Sarah Penner’s debut is The Lost Apothecary. The gorgeous cover hints at the mesmerizing tale of multiple women in dual timelines and the apothecary’s bottle that ties them together.
Murder at the Beacon Bakeshop is the first book in a new cozy mystery series by Darci Hannah. It has all of the ingredients needed to get a new cozy mystery series off to a great start.
Calculated Risks by Seanan McGuire is incredibly satisfying as we learn more about the Johrlac and their powers.
Sun-Daughters, Sea-Daughters by Aimee Ogden is a science fiction retelling of The Little Mermaid with gender-fluid characters.
First Comes Like is the third book in Alisha Rai’s Modern Love series. It focuses on Beauty expert and influencer Jia Ahmed.
A biting look at the choices women face trying to balance societal demands and expectations with their own desires and needs.
Mousse and Murder by Elizabeth Logan is a fun start to a cozy culinary series with all of the components – small town, quirky, likable characters, a relatable amateur sleuth with an adorable pet. I’m looking forward to the next book!
Rafael is a fairly straightforward plot with several opportunities for Anita to demonstrate her increasing badassery.
