Here are some quick and entertaining books to read this month, based on my April Net Galley requests.
Set in San Francisco, which I must say goes very well with the Zodiac/astrology twist to this story. It was different and a little confusing as to the vocabulary but made for an interesting thread weaved throughout the story. I enjoyed reading along as Julia, our intrepid astrologer was able to figure out "who done it" as well as the side mysteries while looking out for her friend Gale. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't more of a romance angle or rather that the angle was obtuse rather than right. I have always felt that our dreams having meaning and Julia's certainly did. Looking forward to the next installment!
Set in Ohio, which took me completely by surprise but it is quirky much like our protagonist, Lana Lee. A free spirit who wants to be free of the family restaurant; but what is a heart broken girl to do when she is down on her luck and there are noodles to be served to cover her half of the rent. Of course it doesn't help when the head of Asia Village, where her parents restaurant is located; dies as a result of an allergic reaction to shellfish found in his Ho-Lee Noodle House take out order. An order that she delivered.....I did managed to figure out the who but not the why. Some characters are just too shady to not figure out. The story was very enjoyable and I do love a happy ending!
