Jackson). Jesse Strong, one of four adopted sons of “Mama Joy” Strong, has lived a fun-filled, irresponsible life, but he’s forced to finally grow up following Mama Joy’s death. Deciding not to sell his mother’s beloved Harlem knitting store, Strong Knits, which doubles as the Strong family home, Jesse turns to family friend and Strong Knits employee Kerry Fuller to teach him the business side of things.

Leigh shines when depicting the bond between Kerry and her best friend, Val, imbuing their interactions with warmth and humor that show the depth of their relationship. The Strong brothers however, are not as well defined. The listener doesn't hear the emotional ties that would be expected among them. This slight lack of focus detracts from what is otherwise a capable performance. K.M.P. � AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine"

    Content: Lindy Carmichael isn't feeling particularly joyful when she returns home to Wenatchee, Washington, for Christmas. The man she thought was "the one" has cheated on her with her best friend, and she feels completely devoid of creativity in her graphic-design job. Not even carolers or Christmas cookies can cheer her up-but Lindy's mother, Ellen, remembers an old tradition that might lift her daughter's spirits. Reading through a box of childhood letters to Santa and reminiscing about what she'd wished for as a young girl may be just the inspiration Lindy needs. With Ellen's encouragement, she decides to write a new letter to Santa, one that will encourage her to have faith and believe just as she'd done all those years ago. Little does Lindy know that this exercise in gratitude will cause her wishes to unfold before her in miraculous ways. And, thanks to some fateful twists of Christmas magic-especially an unexpected connection with a handsome former classmate-Lindy ultimately realizes that there is truly no place like home for the holidays.

    Content: Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from October 3, 2022 Fan mail sparks romance in Forest’s adorable adult debut (after YA Zyla &,Kai ). Nick Brown, pen name NR Strickland, published The Elves of Ceradon right after college, fancying himself “the Black George R. R. Martin.” His dreams didn’t pan out, however, and he’s abandoned the series to become a travel journalist, capitalizing on the job’s anonymity and rootlessness to avoid his estranged parents’ attempts to shake him down for money. When editorial assistant and Strickland superfan Lily Greene reaches out to Nick via email, she’s not expecting her favorite author to actually write back. But Lily doesn’t realize that hers is the first piece of fan mail Nick’s ever received. So respond he does, and the pair form a tentative friendship—until their correspondence grows too intimate, and Nick ghosts Lily for fear of disappointing her. Months later, Nick coincidentally moves in next door to Lily’s apartment and they grow close once more—until Nick realizes Lily’s identity. His fear of commitment keeps him from saying anything, which comes back to bite him when Lily enlists his help finding a date for her sister’s wedding. Forest expertly balances this perfectly matched duo’s emotional connection with their physical chemistry, making them easy to cheer on. This is a winner. Agent: Sara Crowe, Pippin Properties. "

Her relations’ psychic abilities—including empathy and mind-reading—all prove more useful for running the sentient Ravenfall Inn in magic-steeped Wick, Ore., positioned “at a weak spot in the veil to the Otherworld, where spirits dwell.” Leading up to the celebration of Samhain, when the border grows even thinner, 14-year-old Colin Pierce arrives from Montana following his parents’ murder and his older brother’s disappearance. Anna recognizes him from a recent vision, and the two soon find that Colin’s family were Ravenguards, protectors of the Shield separating the realms. As Colin learns about his magic and connection to an ancient Irish being with a sinister agenda, the two must locate the killer. Alternating between Anna and Colin’s voices, Josephson ( The Storm Crow ) presents memorable characters in an engaging and eerie magical mystery. As emotionally rich characterizations follow olive-skinned Anna seeking to define her place among her sprawling family, and pale Colin navigating grief as the result of losing his, the novel’s quirkier aspects manifest in the house’s ever-changing layout and via Max, a powerful Jabberwocky taking the form of a mischievous black cat.

In the middle of a night marked by “urgency and candles,” the siblings are transported to a mysterious home to stay with equally mysterious maternal aunt, Saffronia Sinister, who “by all appearances, had never encountered an actual human child before.” Telling them to “find what was lost,” she drops them off at the Victorian-flavored, unusually grim Fathoms of Fun Waterpark, which features a slide named Oblivion and a wave pool called Cold, Unknowable Sea.
