DEATH BY MOONLIGHT by C. W. Hawes
In book 32 of the Crime Chronicles, Harry Thurgood is once again smack dab in the middle of a murder mystery. This one more gruesome and ritualistic than most. While Sgt. Reece Sovern and Harry have buried the hatchet, and on their way to becoming friends, the same can’t be said for Captain Davis Briggs who wants no part of any civilians at his crime scenes. But when Harry’s beloved wife disappears its going to take more than a determined captain to keep him out of the investigation as Harry races to find his wife before she too joins the list of casualties .
DEATH BY MOONLIGHT is a must read for murder mystery fans, especially those that follow C.W. Hawes.

ZACHARY TAYLOR: America’s 12th President by Deborah Cops
This is part of the Encyclopedia of Presidents written for young people, but definitely enjoyable reads for adults. This is the fourth in the series I've read. I have found them to be both salient and capable of holding my interest.
My main take away from this book, and this president, is that he was a war hero from the war with Mexico and did his best to hold the union together during talk of session. There are few papers from his presidency because the home they were stored in was burned during the civil war. He had little experience as a politician, but the people loved him regardless.
A good read for those that enjoy presidential biographies.

TALE OF THE SEASONS’ WEAVER by D. Wallace Peach
D. Wallace Peach weaves some magic of her own.
Once again, the author creates a tale that flows like poetry and is filled with suspense, intrigue and twisty turns.
When the Weaver of Season’s leaves for the underworld, she charges her half-mortal, half-charmed daughter to take her place as weaver. If Erith can’t complete the weaving of the changing seasons, all will die. Mortal and charmed alike. Challenges face her at every turn, not the least of these self-doubt.
In this book, there are several characters and species to keep track of. But to be expected when building a new world. A book for fantasy fans and those who love a good tale.

RECRUITMENT by K. A. Riley
I love a well-written dystopian YA. The good ones always have you on the edge of your seat. RECRUITMENT the first in a series of three is no exception. In a style reminiscent of Hunger Games, when teens turn seventeen, recruiters come to take them away to fight the Eastern Order. But when Cress and her friends get to the training ground, they soon learn that nothing is as it seems and danger may be more imminent that going to war.
