A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas
In 1880s London, Charlotte Holmes is an outlier. With no desire to follow the traditional path for society women, she sets a plan in motion that leads to unexpected consequences. Charlotte is an absolute delight, as is the cast of characters aiding in her quest to uncover the truth. This series launch by Sherry Thomas puts a fresh spin on Sherlock Holmes.

The Lock-Eater by Zack Loran Clark
If you like The Wizard of Oz, stories about magical wizards and great magic wars this is the book for you. I personally enjoyed the way this book reminds me of The Wizard of Oz and Nevermoor.

The Sentence by Louise Erdrich
I first read the prolific and multi-award-winning author Louise Erdrich back in 1984, when her debut novel Love Medicine (1984) was released. I remember being blown-away by the book, as, sad to say, it was the first time I'd read a novel by an author of American Indian descent.

City Spies by James Ponti
This book is about international spies, MI16, and hackers. It is fast paced with action scenes and found family. I absolutely loved the way the characters interacted with each other and their handler Mother. The main character Sara is funny, smart and has an incredible sense of justice.

The Okay Witch by Emma Steinkellner
This book is definitely worth reading. The main character Moth uncovers she is a witch, her mother is a witch and her mother is really much older then she looks. Moth has to fight not only the bullies at school but an old war between witches and witch hunters.
