I have not read any of Doyle's works, but have thoroughly enjoyed this branch of the Sherlock Holmes story. Young adults and adults alike will find this adventure grasping, exciting, and an overall enjoyable read.

The Paris Wife
by Paula McClain
I really didn't know much about Ernest Hemingway previous to reading this book. Focusing on his first wife, Hadley, it gave great insight into his writing. She was an amazing person. Great book!

The Enchantress
by Michael Scott
The sixth and final book in the series, The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, is amazing! I assumed Sophie would be the focus, but as the culminating book, each character gets a little time and the entire series truly comes together. I enjoyed all six books, but this one is by far my favorite!

The Warlock
by Michael Scott
Book five in The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, the character we follow closely is Josh Newman. At fifteen, he is still trying to figure out who to trust, who will deceive him, why his is needed in this adventure, and why Sophie sees things so differently from him. Loved it!!

Between Shades of Gray
By Ruta Sepetys
I had heard this book was amazing, but didn't really get it's topic until I got into the first chapter. I have always found WWII to be interesting, even if a little depressing at times. I never really knew just how cruel the Russian government was to it's neighbors - you really only talk about Hitler or Japan. Thousands of people were sent away by Stalin; many were sent as a far as Siberia. This book captures one person's journey in a way that leaves wondering how you never knew this part of history. Well-written, captivating, moving. Everyone should read this book!

The Sorceress
By Michael Scott
This third book of The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series continues the search, chase, and adventure of Flamel, his wife, the twins, and others. Perennel Flamel is who we learn more about this time. Great fun! I'm excited to continue the series.
