My Contrary Mary - Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐
Enjoyable historical novel that doesn't take itself too seriously.  
Mary Queen of Scotts is a notrious historical figure.  I would become more obsessed if I had more free time.  
The authors create a contemporary tale- present day culture referenced to provide humor not to mention the digs at the French as well as aristocrats.  
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. I played the audio version - just an automated version,  while my 14 yo daughter did school work.  She enjoyed listening- especially the presence of potions.

Malevolent Nevers  Tim Rimer ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Abel Ward left his home as soon as he could.  Just about twenty years later, his high school crush, Daisy,  calls. His great aunt Elma is quickly declining.  Si simply wants to spend his time with his bestie and girlfriend,  Mags. Instead he's forced to tag along with his dad.  They call to Si - in his dreams, in his thoughts they call his name.  Elma recites the age old rhyme.  The nevers calling for the blood of the promised Ward. Abel chooses to bury her - and the nightmare begins.   Creepy.  Violent creatures.  Lots of goo. An old Victorian house. And a family legacy to protect the town.
