    Author: EJ Stevens

    Genres:

    Urban Fantasy

    Summary (from publisher):

    Welcome to Harborsmouth, where monsters walk the streets unseen by humans…except those with second sight, like Ivy Granger.

    Some things are best left unseen…

    Ivy Granger’s second sight is finally giving her life purpose. Ivy and her best friend Jinx may not be raking in the dough, but their psychic detective agency pays the bills–most of the time. Their only worry is the boredom of a slow day and the occasional crazy client–until a demon walks through their door.

    Demons are never a good sign…

    Organic Peppermint Tea by Arbor Teas

    Review:

    Ivy is fresh, bright, and unstoppable. Just what I look for in a FMC. Will be continuing this series.

    Title:

    Crocodile on the Sandbank (Amelia Peabody Series #1)

    Author: Elizabeth Peters

    Genres:

    Mystery, Detective, Women Sleuths, Historical Mystery

    Summary (from publisher):

    Amelia Peabody, that indomitable product of the Victorian age, embarks on her debut Egyptian adventure armed with unshakable self-confidence, a journal to record her thoughts, and, of course, a sturdy umbrella. On her way to Cairo, Amelia rescues young Evelyn Barton-Forbes, who has been abandoned by her scoundrel lover. Together the two women sail up the Nile to an archeological site run by the Emerson brothers-the irascible but dashing Radcliffe and the amiable Walter. Soon their little party is increased by one-one mummy that is, and a singularly lively example of the species. Strange visitations, suspicious accidents, and a botched kidnapping convince Amelia that there is a plot afoot to harm Evelyn. Now Amelia finds herself up against an unknown enemy-and perilous forces that threaten to make her first Egyptian trip also her last . . .

    Tea:
