The Gray Sheep The Lochsmith Book I by S. M. Somerset

 The Gray Sheep The Lochsmith Book I  by S. M. Somerset

This book is the first in what will be a trilogy and it does a great job of setting up the characters and the world. The book is beautifully written and I liked the historical setting. The main character Cosette was likable and felt real and I was invested in her.  However my main complaint about this book is that at times it was a bit too slow and things did not feel to be progressing maybe it would have benefitted from another character's POV.  The book does end on a cliffhanger but that is to somewhat to be expected as it is the first book in a trilogy. 

Thank you to the publishers and to Netgalley for this ARC.

Life Hacks For A Little Alien Alice Franklin

  A story for everyone who has ever felt just that little bit different.  The tale of Little Alien is heartwarming and we follow how they navigate the world around them through the book they are trying to understand, it is t old from the second perspective.  When the Alien discovers the unusual Voynich manuscript she becomes convinced that it will explain the mysteries of the world, and ultimately herself too.  .Personally second point of perspective is a little bit tricky to read at times as its not something I overly choose to read. It's a very quick read and does flow well and it is broken at times by footnotes.  Thank you NetGalley as always and to little, Brown and Company for sending this book to review.
