Before and Again by Barbara Delinsky - 5 Stars

 Mackenzie Cooper caused a car accident that not only took her child, but caused her to lose her marriage and friends as well. Now she is living in a quiet town in Vermont as Maggie Reid. She has rebuilt her life and is happy. She only has a few months of probation left and she just needs to fly under the radar until that is over.
But soon a close friend's son is thrown into national spotlight for hacking a famous person's Twitter account. Maggie must decide how much she is willing to help her friend without undoing everything she has built in her new life.

This was a really good book and I read half of it in just 2 days! The story line moved well and there were several different issues that Maggie was dealing with throughout the story. The end was very touching and there were parts that almost made me cry.

Key Lime Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke - 4 Stars

 Hannah Swenson has a busy week with the ti-county fair going on. She's baking cookies for a booth at the fair as well as judging the dessert contest. Hannah is on the fair grounds late one night when she finds her fellow judge, Willa, dead.
As usual, Hannah sets out to find the killer and find out who would want Willa dead.

This is a typical cozy mystery, but I really enjoy this series and this one was just as good as the others.

Akata Witch by Nnedi Okoafor - 4 Stars

 Sunny is a 12 year old girl who was born in America, but is living in Nigeria. She has African features, but is Albino. She loves to play soccer, but can't be out in the sun. Sunny feels that she doesn't fit in anywhere.
But soon she finds out that she is part of a magical community. She is soon paired with 3 other children who have different magical abilities. The 4 of them are learning their abilities, but must band together to defeat an evil being trying to destroy the world.

The book has been dubbed the Nigerian Harry Potter and it lives up to that. I felt like I was reading Harry Potter, but set in a different country.
This tag is out of my comfort zone, but I really enjoy Harry Potter, so when I seen this one I thought I'd give it a try. I am glad that I did. I really enjoyed it. This is a series and book 2 is out, so I may put that on my wish list.
