*******************

Patrice Greenwood was born and raised in New Mexico, and remembers when dusty dogs rolled in the Santa Fe Plaza. She has been writing fiction for over twenty years.

She loves afternoon tea, old buildings, gourmet tailgating at the opera, games, costumes, and solving puzzles. Her popular Wisteria Tearoom Mysteries are informed by many of these interests. She is presently collapsed on her chaise longue, planning the next book in the series. [from Author Page, Amazon.com, retrieved 10/04/2015

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
I loved this story. the adventures that Sarah went through were fascinating. The trials that Sarah had to endure in order to feel useful were heart breaking. Her plot to become something she was not in order to escape the person she didn't want to be made me root for her success. She had a tremendous amount of courage and imagination in order to be able to live a secret life especially when she found herself falling in love. The turmoil it caused her in trying to decide rather or not to divulge her true identity to the man she loved while she watched as he falls for someone else was was hard to bear. Truly an awesome story of an extraordinary woman in a time when being such was not a pleasant thing to be.… (more)

Ellen Rosings opens her Victorian tearoom for only a murder to occur on the first day. For me just too much description of the area, teas and food.

This is patchy. Some good stories, some just OK. Some good narrators, some not so much.

Romance among the elven vampires. What more could you want?! Really enjoyable, well written, well plotted and inventive in a small world. Very much looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy and finding out where the author is taking this.

We follow both populations of elves, the 'normal' ones, living contented lives of plenty, following a sanctimonious creed, of true love and respect to all living things, even those they slaughter for food; and dark elves, cursed long ago and expelled in a Bitter War, who subsist on the fringes of the land, surviving only by their cunning, drinking the blood of the kobolds to get by - even they have honour. We follow a pair of young lovers newly caught in the joy of each other. And also the leader of the dark elves who has a plan to regain their city they lost so long ago - but it requires a bit of luck and sacrifice.

It's just all nicely woven together and enjoyable reading. The characters have charisma personality and sparkle, the plot makes sense with motivations that are believable ,and all set in a world that makes sense.
