Uneven.

Deep Tide by Laura Griffin

 

Such a strong start -- great setting, great characters -- and then it just fell apart at the end with totally predictable events.

A Lady's Guide to Gossip and Murder by Dianne Freeman

 

Fun.

The Gifts by Liz Hyder

 

Interesting premise: a few women start growing wings. Interesting issues: gender, class, medicine, magic. But the payoff was not what it could have been.

A Lady's Guide to Etiquette and Murder by Dianne Freeman

 

This was so much fun. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series.

A Nearly Normal Family by M. T. Edvardsson

 

This was definitely uneven, with the strongest parts at the beginning and then at the end. It's hard to say more without giving away a twist or two.
