Kelley Armstrong has the ability to pull the reader into whatever world her imagination creates, and youngsters from 10-80 are likely to become completely immersed in the monster hunting adventures of Rowan and friends.
A Royal Guide to Monster Slaying is the first in Armstrong's new series, and I can't wait for the next one!
Read in June. Blog review scheduled for July 28, 2019.

That cover is cute, but it's a bit misleading, though. :p That said, I love Kelley Armstrong's books no matter what she writes.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure what to expect from the cover, but I enjoyed it immensely!
DeleteLove that C.S. Lewis quote. And I totally agree with it! A good book is a good book, regardless of its target audience.
ReplyDeleteAnd how nice that Armstrong is taking advantage of her talents this way. I loved every minute of this adventure. :)
DeleteI agree that a good book appeals across all age groups. To wit, I read C.S. Lewis' The Magician's Nephew earlier this year for the first time and absolutely loved it! :D
ReplyDeleteI've never read The Magician's Nephew, but I love the title. Thanks for mentioning it, Ruthiella; I'll check it out.
DeleteI love that C.S. Lewis quote. He nailed it.
ReplyDeleteHe was certainly justified--his own books have stood the test of time. :)
DeleteWait wait, when did Kelly Armstrong start writing such goodness? so adorable!!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun, exciting, and suspenseful adventure--but then, it is Kelley Armstrong.
