 The Z Books We have made it! The final two books in the challenge! I will tell you, I honestly didn't think there would be much of a choice with the letter Z. I found two books written by authors I will most definitely read. Book 1: "Eye of Cat" by Roger Zelazny I don't read a lot of science fiction, but this one intrigued me when I picked it up.  William Blackhorse Singer is the last Navajo on a future earth. He is a tracker and hunter of alien species, hired to protect an alien diplomat. To succeed, he must enlist the help of a dangerous, telepathic shapeshifter he previously tracked and captured.

The God's powers and monsters of Navajo legend provide the backdrop for the Singer's fate. The chase is as much fo...

 The "Y" Books "The Bark Of Zorro" by Kathleen Y' Barbo A Cozy mystery, about a woman who works for a veterinarian and a dog rescue group. On a dark and stormy night, Cassidy Carter is called out to pick up a stray dog with a Z painted on its side. This is not the first dog in the area to be running around Brenham, Texas, with a Z painted on it. Cassidy is a huge fan of the Scooby Doo series, torn between wanting to be Daphne yet feeling more like Velma. She sets out to track down the mysterious person spray painting dogs. The case is complicated by a handsome, single Texas game warden and a viral social media crew filming a segment featuring him.  Cozy mysteries are great when you just want to chill with something fun. This is a nice light-hearted one, but like most cozies, it was torn between the mystery and the romance. Which one gets more play? Maybe it's a formula the cozy-writer has to follow? Hmmm. But if you are looking for something to read when you...

 The "X" Books Books written by authors whose last names start with an X are hard to find. Lucky for me, I have a fellow author friend who writes under the name Scarlett Zavier. The Celtic Men Series by Scarlett Xavier. Irish Fire and Forbidden Love Maeve Quinn is not just a business owner; she's a force to be reckoned with. She is the co-owner of a bar in Galway. When Rory shows up, sparks fly between the two. Rory is there to buy the bar, but how can he take away the business Maeve has given her heart and soul to? How can he tell her why he is really there when all he wants to do is drown in her intoxicating scent? The two are falling hard and fast for each other when the truth comes out.  Scottish Legends and Lost Love Lachlan is a troubled landowner who is contemplating selling his ancestral estate in the highlands to a developer when he meets Fiona, a dedicated historian. Fiona is there to research the hidden runes on the property. She drags Lachlan along for the rid...
