Book Review - The Lost Girls of Paris by Pam Jenoff

In 1946, Grace Healey is trying to move on from her husband's sudden death. On her way to work one morning, Grace stumbles across an abandoned suitcase tucked under a bench. Determined to find the owner, she opens the suitcase and discovers a dozen photographs of different women. On a whim, Grace takes the photographs and leaves the station. 

Grace starts to investigate the women in the photographs. She learns that the suitcase belongs to Eleanor Trigg. Trigg was the leader of a network of female spies who worked during the war. These women were sent to Europe as couriers and radio operators to help the resistance. However, they never returned and their fates a mystery. Grace is determined to find out the truth of the behind the photographs as she feels herself drawn to one of the photographs; a young mother, named Marie. Will Grace be able to determine the truth?

I have read "Ophran's Tale" by the author and loved the book. I thought this book was also good but, I felt like it was missing something. The book was an emotional read and the characters were rendered beautifully. I like that the narration was split between Grace, Eleanor, and Marie. We were able to feel what each character was experiencing. However, the plot was of espionage inside the department, was bland. I thought it would have been much more plot twist and betrayal involved. Overall, a great read for fans of the author.

Book Review - The Adventurers Guild #2: Twilight of the Elves by Zack Loran Clark & Nick Eliopulos + Giveaway

Zed and his friends managed to save Freestone from being destroyed, but, the fight has just begun. A dark power has risen up in the elven city which has caused their dead to rise again. As the elves flee to Freestone, the natives are filled with resent towards the elves as resources become scarce. The leader of the elves, Queen Me'Shala, reaches out to the Adventurers Guild with a mission to take back the elven city.

Zed with his friends take on the mission to tackle the powerful magic taking over the elven city. The friends will have to rely on each other if they want to destroy the evil forces. However, Zed and his best friend, Brock are keeping secrets from each other. Will they be able to trust each other to complete the mission?

I found this book to be a fun and interesting read. It reminds me a bit of Warcraft and Lord of the Rings.  However, this is the second book in the series and while it could be read as a stand-alone, I think it would be best to read the book in order. Overall, a fun read for anyone who loves fantasy novels.

About the Book:

Title: TWILIGHT OF THE ELVES (The Adventurers Guild #2)

Author: Zack Loran Clark & Nick Eliopulos

Publisher: Disney-Hyperion

Formats: Hardcover, eBook, Audiobook

Pages: 384

I should probably start at the beginning, Zed wrote, when things first went wrong?

Zed, Brock, and their friends may have saved Freestone from destruction, but the fight against the Dangers is far from over. No one knows what to expect next from the dark power that forced the elves to abandon their city. And the influx of elf refugees in Freestone strains resources and brews resentment among the townspeople. Things have shifted between best friends Zed and Brock, as well, with their friendship crumbling under the weight of the secrets they're keeping from each other.

When tensions reach an all-time high, Queen Me'Shala, leader of the elves, approaches the Adventurers Guild with a mission. She wants a small group of adventurers to go behind the king's back on a covert mission to save her city, and Zed, Brock, Liza, Jett, Micah, and their elven friend Fel join the quest. To face a powerful form of magic thought to be extinct, the adventurers will have to learn how to rely on each other and fight harder than ever before.

Don't miss this second installment of Zack Loran Clark and Nicholas Eliopulos's Adventurers Guild trilogy, where the stakes are raised, the action is breathless, and the dangers will stop even the bravest of hearts.
