Book 2 in The Planar Pages

Genres

Historical Fantasy, Mystery, Mythical Creatures, Alternate History, Cozy, Action and Adventure

Life flourishes in the Book, a world of stacked realms spanning the ages, like the pages of an epic chronicle. Each page opens to domains evoking the glory of ancient empires, the passion of the Renaissance, or the adventure of court intrigue. Those who can travel between them are page turners, blessed with the power to go from one page to the next.

For investigator Fiona Thorne, turning the page is normal life. Solving mysteries is where the excitement lives. No case is too small to ignite her curiosity, no page too familiar to explore. She is determined to leave her mark in the Book, no matter where her cases may lead.

Someone has stolen from the Court of Copper, the illustrious fae page nestled within the Book. As the fabled Order of Seven, once impervious to discord, tears under the weight of distrust and strife, an innocent risks being shelved, penned as the thief. Who lies at the heart of the crime? Is it a member of the fractured counsel, or could the thief be much closer to Fiona than she realizes?

As the fate of the fae teeters on the brink of upheaval, Fiona and her alchemist ally, Gaili, must delve deep into the tangled mysteries of the page, racing against the clock to unearth the truth and restore harmony to the Court of Copper. Can they halt the rewrite of the fae page before it’s too late and keep it from tearing inside out?

what readers are saying

Between the Lines is a cozy mystery set in a fantasy world. The world itself is kind of a character with all the various “pages” the main must visit to solve the mystery. She’s a great character, an investigator in a hostile environment, someone with a big heart. She isn’t perfect as we see as the story advances. She might be forced to give up on some of her biased opinions about a certain organization before the end of the book. These biases led to some red herrings that are well done. I loved the side characters as much as the main. True imagination and fun rolled into one book. If you like mysteries, fantasies, cozies of any type, give it a look! 5 stars. I’ll be reading the second soon.

This was an adorable romp! I love how it started with a mischievous cat and an intriguing old lady next door … and it beautifully started the world building that I’ve loved so much in the rest of the series.

I loved this book! Takes place in SPINE, part of a book filled with a fantasy of worlds and characters within the pages of a book. Fiona, the lead character, is a private investigator winding her way thru the pages to solve adventurous cases. I can’t wait to see where Fiona and her band of friends take me next! You will not be disappointed! I received a free copy of this book via The History Quill Book Club.
