This sounds like a great series – and my kids are all getting to that age-bracket now. I’ll definitely have to check it out!
My first line comes from my favourite art fraud investigator, Serena Jones in ‘Another Day, Another Dali’ by Sandra Orchard:
“I tore my gaze from the porch that wrapped around the drug dealer’s house and cringed at the number on my phone’s display.
Mom said there’d be days like this.”
I love Serena!!! Yay!

Happy reading and happy Friday!
I’m rereading Cold Shot in preparation for Book #2 in the Chesapeake Valor series by Dani Pettrey.
“Fog wafted over the silent hilltop, dancing in eerie waves amidst the centuries-old trees, the weathered trunks the sole markers of the lost graves littering the grounds surrounding them.”
