Mercedes Lackey – Gwenhwyfar: The White Spirit Publisher: DAW Hardcover (October 6, 2009) | Language: English | ISBN-10: 1616846852 | EPUB + MOBI | 400 pages | 0.5 mb + 0.6 mb Gwenhwyfar moves in a world where gods walk among their pagan worshipers, where nebulous visions warn of future perils, and where there are two paths for a woman: the path of the Blessing or the rarer path of the Warrior. Gwenhwyfar chooses the latter, giving up the power that she is born into. Yet the daughter of a King is never truly free to follow her own calling. Acting as the “son” her father never had, when called upon to serve another purpose by the Ladies of the Well, she bows to circumstances to become Arthur’s queen-only to find herself facing temptation and treachery, intrigue and betrayal, but also love and redemption..

Laurie R. King – Locked Rooms Publisher: Bantam (March 28, 2006) | Language: English | ISBN-10: 0553583417 | EPUB + MOBI | 528 pages | 0.4 mb + 0.5 mb Sherlock Holmes and Mary Russell are at it again. Having just traveled to India in The Game (Bantam, 2004), they are stopping in San Francisco, Mary’s hometown, before returning to England. It is 1930, 24 years after the great earthquake and 10 years since the death of Mary’s brother and parents, and her removal to Anglia. Ostensibly, she is going to wrap up some business interests and sell her parents’ house, but she soon becomes aware of strange goings-on there and what seem to be attempts on her life. This is a more character-driven title than many of the previous Russell/Holmes outings, and Mary’s emotions and fears are in the forefront.

Laurie R. King – Justice Hall Publisher: Bantam; Reprint edition (April 28, 2009) | Language: English | ISBN-10: 0553381717 | EPUB + MOBI | 352 pages | 0.4 mb + 0.6 mb Sherlock Holmes has been much used and even more often abused by the many writers who have adopted and adapted him for their own purposes. What a delight then to find an author able to make profound changes while hewing so closely to the spirit of the original. With great verve and imagination King has extended Sherlock’s career, pairing him with the superb Mary Russell. In the Edgar winner’s sixth novel to feature the sleuthing duo (The Beekeeper’s Apprentice, etc.), Mary is a fully accepted equal to her husband and partner in detection.
