With the electricity out I was able to read a bit more than normal.
Read A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. Very well done although the weak ending was not as I expected. Interesting how Ness developed each character's flaws and their response to each others actions. Good word skill. Gave it a B [4 stars].
Also, read Sleight Malice by Vicki Tyley. This one was only so-so. The plot, I felt, was not plausible. A lot of holes. C- [2 stars]
