Review of Diamonds are Forever

Title: Diamonds are forever

Author: Michelle Madow

Series: Secret Diamond sisters

 

Chapters: 32 plus epilogue

Pages: 360

Genre: teen/new adult

Rating: 4 stars

     Diamonds are Forever is the third book and final book in the Secret Diamond sister's series.  All the questions that I had about the storyline was answered by the end. I also loved that Michelle quite possibly left it open for either a sequel or a spin off series.

     Diamonds are Forever unlike the first two books I would have to say that it is more New adult than teen simply because of some of the things that happen in the book.  But it was a great ending to a great series. 

Review of Making Marion

Title: Making Marion

Author: Beth Moran

 

Chapters: 30

Pages: 316

Genre: chick lit

Rating: 4 stars

Making Marion is a bit of a modern retelling of Robin Hood with a twist. Marian Miller is an Irish library employee who walks away from an engagement. She travels to Sherwood England in order to find out about her father's past. He died when she was a child. Instead she ends up at the Peace and Pigs camp ground and working for a woman named Scarlet. She meets Reuben Hatherstone the son of the lord of the neighboring estate.  

Making Marion is the typical chick lit, and once you get past the British humor it a fairly quick read. I enjoyed this Robin Hood twist complete with Robin Hood festival. Marian is Marian while Reuben is the Robin character.

Making Marion is a book that will make you laugh, cry, and fall in love with the characters. You will hurt and ache and mourn with them. But will cheer when two characters ride off in to a happily ever after. I am looking forward to the author's next book.
