All's Well by Mona Awad is one of the weirdest books I've read. I wanted to put the book down several times but was desperate to know what happened. It was creepy in a get-in-your-head way but also unique and well-crafted. Awad weaves the plots of Shakespeare's Macbeth and All's Well That Ends Well into a modern-day tale of being powerless and power-hungry and how this can lead one to betrayal and worse.

One of my daughters pointed me to Elisabeth Wheatley's channel on YouTube called Book Goblin. It's very accurate and funny. Here is a link:

Wheatley's channel also features books she has written. I've looked on Libby to find them and have yet to be successful. I pictured Wheatley as a self-publisher. However, I did find her books on Audible and spent a precious credit to listen to Daindreth's Assassin, the first in the Daindreth's Assassin series. She could have benefited from a better editor. She rocks the plot, and her characters strive to be more than stereotypes. I enjoyed the book and am wrestling with the question of how many credits do I want to use on this five book--quintology?--series. I'm guessing that her writing, especially dialogue, will improve with time. I would like to access her books less expensively but should suck it up and support a creative making it work.
