FANTASY & MYTHOLOGY, Explored by COLLEEN LUXEM

Possession by Chris Humpreys ($16.99).  I am a little sad writing this review because it means that the Runestone Saga is over!  Hopefully, Chris Humpreys will start a new one.  In the series’ culmination, we join up with Sky and Kristen again—this time preparing for the battle of their lives against Sigurd.  With Sigurd possessing more and more people, Sky and Kristen must find a way to stop him.  It's a great ending to one of my favorite series.

Cybele's Secret by Juliet Marillier ($16.99).  In this unconventional sequel to Wildwood Dancing, we follow Paula on a trading expedition with her father to Istanbul.  Paula is immediately entranced by the mystical city.  She finds herself exploring the existence of a secret cult following the goddess, Cybele.  This is a great follow-up to Wildwood Dancing, and some questions from the first book are answered.  (Like what the heck happened to Tati?)
