Frey, Ovie, Juniper and Runa are Mercies. Female death traders, who are hired to kill those who have a dying wish, quietly and mercifully. But Frey’s blood sings a song of glory. When they hear of a Blue Vee Beast killing families, and every great warrior challenged to defeat it, they venture onward to their one chance at changing their fate of being Mercies forever.

The Boneless Mercies is a mix of the Hobbit, Norse Myth, Adventure, and a sprinkle of Romance and close friendships. It has beautifully written moments when after you read a thrilling battle scene, you have a moment after when the characters talk by the fire, and you feel part of their group, as one of the Mercies.

A classic. A world – renowned favourite. Murder on the Orient Express lives up to all of it’s expectations, and is an enticing read. For a long time, I’ve complained to my parents about how I’ve read every book on my book shelf and need some more books. Then I’ll get more books, read them, and complain again. But there’s a certain part of my bookshelf with my mum’s old 3 in 1 Agatha Christie books. There’s at least 5 of them, maybe more. They were the only books on my shelf I had never read, and I don’t know why. My mum would constantly nag me about reading them when I said I had no books to read, but for some reason I would never read them. It was almost as if every time I was going to read them, I would find a new book I wanted to read. But over the holidays, I found myself in a bind. I couldn’t find anything I wanted to read. Then one day at the beach, I saw my older cousin reading Murder on the Orient Express. To be honest with you, I’d heard of it many times before, but at this point, I’d completely forgot about it. A few days later, I started to read Murder on the Orient Express. I read and read with hardly any breaks because I couldn’t wait to read the next page. The characters were so engaging and well thought out, and every sentence meant something. I automatically give this book five stars, because not only is it a classic, but you never want to stop reading. I’m happy to say (and my mum’s happy to see) that I’ve finally got around to reading the other Agatha Christie books, and I love them. I recommend Murder on the Orient Express to anyone and everyone, because I know they will love it just as much as I do.
