I received this book from the author at a farmer's market in 1997, and remember it being a favorite growing up.

It was interesting to read a book of Fairy Tales not written by the Brothers Grimm. This was a different collection of stories, but they still felt very familiar.

I read this for the "A Self-Published Book" part of my 2019 reading challenge. I really enjoyed it, Turner is a great character and showed a lot of strength.

I listened to this for the "An Audiobook" part of my 2019 reading challenge. I enjoyed Felicity Jones and David Tennant, the story was nice and short and was well condensed.

I received this book from LibraryThing in exchange for a review here and on my blog Samwise Reviews. Overall it was good, but not my cup of tea. The characters had a lot of potential, but the chemistry between Greylen and Kael seemed forced and I didn't like how weak and almost useless it made Greylen. It was just a bit much. Plot wise I found 75% of it to be moderately paced, then the ending ramped up and I'm still not sure what's going on with her and the Archangel. I assume the next book will answer all the questions about her past, the necklace, and the prophecy.

I received this book from LibraryThing in exchange for a review here and on my blog Samwise Reviews. This was not the book for me. I felt that it had a lot of potential; I enjoyed the sisters and their witch heritage and would have loved it to just take off from there. What lost me was the “time travel” and the zombies and the disjointed plot and timeline. I usually love mythology and the involvement of the gods, but I did not feel the connection from them to the present and thought that part felt a bit unnecessary. I really tried to like this book but overall it just didn’t do it for me.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for a review here and on my blog Samwise Reviews. It was my first introduction to the Teahouse Detective, and going into it I had no idea what it was about and had never heard of this character or author before. It was definitely light, simple reading, nothing too deep or complicated. I enjoyed it, but the cases weren't gripping or passionate. The characters sat at a table and discussed 13 different cases, and while they were different and had unexpected endings, I found this lacked the excitement you would find in Sherlock Holmes. It was a good way to pass the time, but I'm not sure I would seek out other books in this series.

This also worked for the "Character Who Wears Glasses" part of my 2020 reading challenge.

I enjoyed the story and the artwork, but wish it had been a bit longer.
