This book is a mashup of mystery, magic, romance and historical fiction and I wanted to like it just based on that. Despite that, it was rather lacking in romance and the magic was rather minimal. The heroine, India Steele, is reaching a point of desperation as the book begins. Her father is recently deceased, and the man she was engaged to has snatched her inheritance out from under her. Well, the shop had been left to the fiance, because of course a woman couldn’t […]
“Sometimes Bad Guys are the only Good Guys you get.”
Short review: Kind of but not exactly Leverage in space. I liked it; not as much as The Martian but hey — economic caperism on the moon. Hard to argue with that.

But in the face of hand-wringing boys, “personal experimentation”, influenza, mystery-mold, nu-chauvinism, and the willful, unwanted intrusion of “academia”, they may be lucky just to make it to spring alive. Going off to university is always a time of change and growth, but for Esther, Susan, and Daisy, things are about to get […]
Would probably make for a pretty decent rom com
