The Santa Suit by Mary Kay Andrews
Like this book about a woman who comes into town and bought an old farmhouse sight unseeen, but online photos.
She runs into a lot of problems but the real estate agent is there to help her.
She cleans out the house of all the belongings of the previous owners and comes across a note to santa where a girl asks him for her father for Christmas.
The past owners were not only very giving folks but he played santa. Handful of people, easy to keep track of.
Like how it ends and how things all add up. Delightful holiday read.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
Artima's Travels, Part II by E. A. Dustin
This book starts out with Ella and she's at the cemetery and her father who she had never met was being buried. Nobody knows her there. She and her friend Rusty are working on the game together and they spend a lot of time together.
She knows her mother is busy with work, she's always traveling but Ella is almost 18 so she can be left alone. She realizes that she has a step brother-same father as her and she plans ahead with Rusty to meet him soon. She's got a look about her that he recognizes right away and he is able to explain about family things by showing her very old pictures of when their grandfather was serving the Nazi government.
All he has to do is look at a picture and the full story comes to light. He's got a brain implant, like her father had. He needs to visit the lab in LA and she will go with him to learn more about the family she never knew.
She lies to get there and when she gets in trouble she's not able to phone her mom every day...
Love the subject as it's possible I feel and know others are using microwave signals for bad purposes these days, it's so realistic to me.
Travel, brainstorming, sci fic technology, history, super plot to bring it to the end.
Know where Ella gets a lot of her character traits from after having read the first book in the series.
Couldn't put this one down, glad my chores were all done today. Super read, one of my top 5 for this year.
Love all reference notes at th eend and it's real history.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
