Bell’s Book Recommendation
The Hearts We Sold – by Emily Lloyd-Jones
One of the most interesting stories I’ve read in a long time. I do not typically read much from the Paranormal genre, but this book could change my opinion. Dee worked hard to get into a good school, but now her scholarship has gone away. In an effort to find another source she is tempted by one of the many demons that now openly roam the earth. The demons will grant a wish for price. What is Dee willing to pay, how will it turn out? Read this book and be blown away by the twists, turns, and exciting ending. This book has mystery, paranormal, love story, and adventure all wrapped into one great story.
Melinda’s Book Recommendation
The Half-Drowned King – by (Adult) Linnea Hartsuyker.
An epic tale of the struggles of power that led to the unification of Norway under King Harold. The story is dominated by Ragnvald, a young warrior, cheated out of his birthright by his stepfather and his sister, Svanhild who longs for freedom despite the era’s restrictions on women. It is a complex story set in the Viking age dominated by battles, raids, and deception. However, I also particularly enjoyed the detailed descriptions of everyday life and the dramatic scenery of Norway.
