Literature What are you currently reading?

I have two books to report today! This afternoon, since it rained and spoiled my plans, I read "Open and Shut" by David Rosenfelt. This is the first of the Andy Carpenter series and was really good. It was a bit dated as it was published in 2003 but that did not affect the great twisty story.
I also read "We are all guilty here" by Karin Slaughter. Though she is a new thriller writer to me, she has written many books and several are TV shows. The most well known is Will Trent which I haven't watched. She also has a couple of Netflix series. This was a really good mystery and family drama about kidnapped teen girls. I will read more of her books as I find them at the library.

Over the weekend, I got "House of Fire and Magic" by Sherrilyn Kenyon out of the library. It appears to be the start of a new fantasy series with humans, dragons, unicorns, elves, and magic. Meh. I don't think I'll bother with any sequels- the characters weren't very appealing. I haven't read anything else by this author yet, but apparently she's written quite a few books.
 
As I am a fan of fantasy, I picked up "The Sword of Light" by Heather Graham who is a very well known author. This was just ok; it did not "grab" me and was kind of boring. Typical quest adventure, good against evil, young heroes who become romantically involved. All the basics of a decent read but did not fulfill that for me. I think Ms. Graham is not so good at this genre. LOL
