Welcome to Litsy!

Finished this one on Friday. I really liked this second book in the series. Though I guess I have to get over wanting Verity and Max to get together and actually give Sidney a chance. This one has Verity and Sydney going back to the frontlines of WWI searching for someone Verity used to work with.

Have a Halloween party Saturday (still don‘t know what I‘ll be wearing). And I just want to relax and read all Sunday. But we‘ll see. A tree fell on my in-laws house today.. (Nor‘easter without the snow).

I‘m grateful the storm damage wasn‘t bad for me and my house is intact.

Yesterday I posted about the author‘s original series, Lady Darby, and today it‘s her newer one, the Verity Kent mysteries. It‘s set in England in the aftermath of WWI. Three books so far, of which this is the second, and a new installment releases soon. Huber is one of the few authors whose books I preorder.

Post WWI, Verity Kent is still coming to terms with the reappearance of her husband. A war bride, she & Sidney had little time together until he went off to war and was thought dead. Now, as they reconnect, secrets from Verity's war efforts are coming back to haunt her. As she & Sidney race to uncover the truth, they learn that the past is very much present and they need to confront what happened to both solve the mystery and save their marriage.

I am a huge fan of this author, and I find her character Verity Kent, the protagonist of this series, fascinating. The start of this book was somewhat slow, as there was more emphasis on her marital relationship than the mystery. Once the emphasis changed (and there are reasons why the relationship is important, so I‘m not discounting that), it became difficult to put the book down. Looking forward to the next in the series. 4.5 ⭐️

It wasn‘t a treacherous night, but there was no reading time while I was volunteering at the botanical garden. First time we‘ve done a holiday garden of lights, and it‘s gorgeous. Pictures do not do it justice, though not for lack of trying 😄

Any Anna Lee Huber fans out there??

Her second installment of the Verity Kent historical mystery series is on Kindle sale TODAY ONLY for $2.99. Third in series (Penny for Your Secrets) won‘t be out until next fall.

If you love historical mysteries and haven‘t tried Huber yet...both this series and her Lady Darby series are wonderful! ❤️😊

By South Florida standards, it‘s a cool afternoon. Poor hubby caught my cold. The result is an afternoon spent with our books and Earl Grey.

Can‘t believe it‘s taken me this long to start the newest book by one of my favorite authors.

My current read: “Treacherous is the Night” by @annaleehuber, which is set after the Great War.

Work has been so busy and tiring that l'm ready only sparingly lately.
This one is enjoyable enough, but not one of those books l can't put down.
About 30% in.

My #Screamathon and #BookAWeek challenge, l'm sorry. But l knew October was going to be a mess 😭

While Verity is again likable and compelling in this entry, I struggled to like this read. I‘m not a big fan of Sidney, and he is in most of this book. I found this mystery to be a bit confusing and have too many extra characters, but I still enjoyed the setting and the character of Verity, so I‘m torn on this one. I voluntarily reviewed an eARC provided by the publisher via NetGalley.

Two preorders showed up on my Kindle this morning. Excited to read both of these, but #MountTBR is approaching the height of Everest😂

I enjoyed this second in series but maybe not quite as much as the first. This one resolved the love triangle from the first one (a “dead” husband and a new interest) and had Verity back home in London after her first adventure at Umbersea Island. While this one provided some in-depth looks at WW1/Secret Service and a locale change to Belgium, it was not quite as interesting as meeting Verity and solving the subsequent mystery of the first. 4/5⭐️

I have been blessed recently with the opportunity to get ahold of some of my favorite series‘ next ventures...such as this one! ❤️ This is the second book (out September 25) in the Verity Kent series. Huber has become one of my favorite historical mystery authors. If you haven‘t read her, I highly recommend her Lady Darby series as well.
