Ophelia Adrift by Helen Goltz

Ophelia Adrift was not what I was expecting. It was far more. The love story was there, the mystery and history all present, but the way Helen Goltz spun her tale was a pleasant surprise. Instead of the typical paranormal romance I expected, it turned into a supernatural thriller. Although not as much of a historical fiction as anticipated, the elements were well integrated into the story.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes paranormal romance, but is tired of the same old story.

The History Major by Phillip Cash

I don't often find a book that is well written and yet so difficult to read. Phillip Cash did a wonderful job describing the various historical scenes that his characters learned about in the strange class the heroine found herself in, but I could never quite understand why they were there. It seemed as if there were two stories going on, but the one in which the history class took place was never really explained.
The History Major did not live up to it's description and only left the reader with questions only vaguely answered. It is a very intriguing read, but the ending was not as satisfying as hoped. Perhaps I am in the minority in this and someone can explain to me how the stories chosen affected the characters and outcome of the book.
