A Home For Rose - Jon Katz (3/5)
Quite a nice ‘train’ read. Katz’s books are as much or seem to be, a journey of self discovery as about animals. As he moves with his animal’s upstate from New York to a farm, this is a book that transport you with them. Katz is a controversial author and that controversy comes from the next book in the series, as he decides to put one of his dogs down for behavioral issues. I only found that out after having read this one and have not made my mind up if I want to read on. He seems to me after reading to be a genuine guy who would not put an animal down without good reason but I am a big dog lover so... I am not so sure about the next one. I did enjoy getting out of the city in my mind with this book though. little Rose is adorable...
Divine By Choice - PC Cast (2/5)
I could not help but be disappointed by this book to be honest. I am a huge fan of Cast, The House of Night being among my favorite book series. I had hoped I was going to be another series I loved. While Divine by Mistake was amazing, and I feel in love with the romance of the heroine Shannon and ClanFinton, Divine By Choice destroyed that as Shannon as a character. She became an adulteress and lost her morality, and so her likability. The plot of Shannon returning to her native Ohio should ensured a great book but it felt forced whereas Divine by Mistake had been magical and effortless. Clint might have been ClanFinton’s mirror image, but to me he was just a pale imitation.
