The Horse : The Epic History of Our Noble Companion

I don’t usually read a lot of non-fiction books, but this one was given as a gift, so I read it.
     I really enjoyed this book. For a non-fiction novel it was very interesting and enlightening look at the history of the horse. The author does a good job, mingling her life and what she learned in a relevant and attention keeping way.
     I can see why this author made the New York bestseller list.

     This book is a great gift for any horse lover, or someone just interested in learning more about the horse.

Flight by Death by Yasmine Galernorn

     This is the first in the Fly by Night Series. There is an e-book prequel that is Flight from Hell, and I always try to read those if I can, before reading the first in a series.  It’s always a good way to see if it’s worth investing time into a new series.
     This is also a spin off series from the Sisters of the Moon series book, though you don’t have to be really familiar with that series to get into this book.
     A person from Alex Radcliffe’s past has asked for his help. An investment in an old house to be refurbished as a bed and breakfast is not going as planned. The house appears to be haunted, so Alex takes on the case, after all, he runs his own supernatural investigations service.
     But as when it comes to the supernatural, one thing can be something completely different.
This story is a perfect blend of lively characters, a good mystery, that beautifully flows, and by the end, leaves one wanting to see what comes next.


Deceptions by Kelley Armstrong

This is the third book in The Cainesville Series. It needs to be read in order. The first book is Omens.
     Olivia has gotten away from her whirlwind mess of a life, if only for a brief moment. But once again she is drawn back to Cainesville, and this installment, more of the truth is revealed, and in the end, there are several big revelations that will forever change Olivia and those around her.

     This tale does a good job balancing out the simple and mundane with the supernatural and manages to move in a way that grabs the reader and leads them on a wonderful ride, leaving one wanting to know what will happen to Olivia and those she cares for.
