This was the other book I picked up from the library book sale and so far it's starting out much better than Hunting the Witch.
Book: Sweet Poison (Jane Lawless book #16) by Ellen Hart
Description:
Jane Lawless is at her wit’s end keeping her Minneapolis restaurants running while volunteering on her father’s campaign for governor. With an eleven-point lead, the race is Ray Lawless’ to lose, but all that changes when his rival posts a list of violent criminals that are back on the streets early, thanks to Ray’s work during his career as a defense lawyer.
Corey Hodge is one of the convicts that took Ray’s advice to plead guilty for a crime that he swears he didn’t commit. Bitter from time served, revenge lurks in the back of his mind. Then one of Ray’s young campaign volunteers is killed, and with the murder mirroring the crime Corey was convicted of, Jane has to bring the killer to justice to save her father’s political career and to keep Corey from going to prison again.
The high stakes and political intrigue that fuel Sweet Poison, the latest in Lambda and Minnesota Book Award--winning author Ellen Hart’s absorbing Jane Lawless series, make for an intense mystery of ambition and obsession.
I like dance books probably ballet is one of things I loved (like playing the violin) that I gave up on when I was younger. So, now I can enjoy it again just by picking up a book and hopefully, this will be a good read.
Book: 84 Ribbons by Paddy Eger
Source: Borrowed from Publisher/NetGalley for an honest review
Publication: Available now
Description:
Eger takes us into the world of dancer, Marta Selbryth, a small town girl from Bremerton, Washington with a life long desire to perform as a professional ballerina. Eger’s passion for the subject, captures this deep desire found in many young dancers but does not overstate the character’s sacrifices and successes.
What does it take to succeed when you are a teen, about to graduate, with your life spread before you, waiting for you to claim it? Eager says, “Tenacity”. Readers & reviewers agree. DanceSpirit magazine selected 84 Ribbons as 2014 April “Pick of the Month” and Foreword Reviews magazine calls 84 Ribbons “a riveting ballet story.” Reviewer, Leia Menlove, says, “Eger, a former dancer herself, brilliantly details the day-to-day life of this world. ...A pure coming-of-age novel with moments of quiet drama, 84 Ribbons is about thriving despite the imperfections of life.”
“Like these young dancers, new adults often face challenges and disappointments and are pushed to their limits as they strive for physical, mental and emotional tenacity,” says Eger. “84 Ribbons strikes a balance between the world of ballet and the everyday world that waits just beyond the stagelights.”
