This was a very short story about a young dragon, bursting with energy and a king who wants to keep her in order to life forever.

Despite it's shortness, it's only 12 pages really, it was enjoyable, but unfortunately way to short to build any kind of feelings for the characters. Considering the length it was quite good though and I would have loved to read a longer version of the story!

I'm ashamed to admit I don't remember how I came by this story, I just found it when I was clearing out my Adobe Digital Editions. Apologies!… (mehr)

Welcome to Ravenglass. A small town about to make big news.

But first, some fun. Emma and Mrs. Perkins are neighbors and friends. They live kind of isolated so are always watching out for each other. When Emma returns home and finds Mrs. Perkins door ajar, she senses trouble. And she finds it when she discovers her friend bound and gagged. What comes next will surprise you and make you eager to read more.

And what’s a cozy without a murder, or at least an attempted one ? There are plenty of suspects to choose from when a man is poisoned, taken down by his well known food allergy.

Being a writer of murder mysteries, Emma is in her element. She gets to work searching for clues. In a small town, where everyone knows each others business, she’ll need to be delicate.

This is where I really came to like Emma. She’s had a tough life. In and out of mental hospitals, you’d think she wouldn’t trust herself with so many things working against her, but she does.

Her Great Aunt Alice, who died but who’s spirit still lingers, complicates things further by stepping into Emma’s body at whim and spicing up her life with some sparks of romance. What’s a girl to do?

There’s lots to laugh at and some serious business to draw you deeper into the story. Anna does a good job of keeping you off balance and then smoothing things out. She keeps you on your toes and engaged.

I hope you get a chance to read White Light. I enjoyed it and hope the author gives us more about the town and these characters.… (mehr)

White Light by Anna Simpson is a fun cozy with unique and quirky characters that kept me laughing at their antics as the mystery grows. We have plenty of suspects, colorful characters and the beginnings of a romance.

The writing kept me caught between the serious and the comical and I enjoyed being there. Anna Simpson’s ability to bring the words to life through her descriptive writing could make me feel as if I was there, sharing some of Emma’s experiences, feeling what she felt. I had my thoughts of who did what, but Anna did not let me know the answers too soon. Great job keeping me waffling back and forth.

I received an ARC of White Light by Anna Simpson in return for an honest review.

Two blue moons ride the darkened sky, one the ghost of Dragon Eye.

This is a very short read and a prequel to Mexmur by Anna Simpson.

If you love fantasy and dragons and have 5 or 10 minutes, this is a MUST READ.

The king didn't care what Rescer had to do to Rory, the young female dragon.

He just wanted his riches.

Rescer had a plan. I am afraid for him....and Rory too.

Would he set her free, or will the king kill them both?

I love Rescer. He has been with Rory since she looked like a deformed lizard.

I couldn't help but let slip a girly giggle at that.

I am ROYALLY pissed at the king and nothing can change that.

If I could, I would put a curse on him.

OMG. A fabulous and tearful ending.

My heart dropped and I read on with tears in my eyes.

Then my heart soared on the wings of the dragon.

It totally blew me away and I have tears in my eyes as I write this.

I cannot believe Anna packed so much punch into this awesome short.

I love dragons and Rory is a very young dragon that I want to watch grow up.

You can meet her again in Mexmur, a part of the Portals fantasy anthology.… (mehr)
