BOOKENDS
Despite the lovely sunny weather this weekend (that seems to have gone the way of the wind), I had some great time to read some fantastic books.
Finder by Emma Bull
In Bordertown, where a hybrid community of elves, halflings, humans co-exist, a murderous plot has been hatched to induce humans into elf-like states and spreading virus through the elven community. Sunny Rico, cop, coerces Orient, a finder, to help her seek out the perpetrators behind the crimes. It's a dangerous and difficult task, and one that Orient has no desire to fulfill - until his best friend, Tick-Tick, an elf, contracts the virus and declines speedily towards death. This engrossing read is a crossover combining fantasy with mystery; the interesting characters, setting, and writing style make it even more satisfying. Good stuff.

Ruse: The Silent Partner by Waid, et al.
After reading the first Ruse (see below, Apr 23), I had to stop by the Watertown library to pick up the second volume. I enjoyed it as much as the first and am slightly distressed that I shall have to wait for the third to be published.
