The Mesmerist - Barbara Ewing




This is one of my bargain books, I wasn't sure what to expect as I had never read Barbara Ewing before but for 33p it was worth a try.  I found it a bit slow reading at first as I couldn't really get interested in Hester and Kitty's story. However when Cordelia's story began to unfold the narrative became not just more interesting but moved at a much faster pace.

As the story was eventually intriging I'm glad I stuck with it.

The Catalyst (Balancer Prelude) - Chris Adonn

Enjoyable prelude to the next installment of the balancer chronicles which I realy look forward to reading. I would like to see James continue to make an appearance. 

My only problem was with a character name ie 'beloved'.  When reading I mentally changed his name to Paul and this worked for me.
