January Reads 2026

Not a lot read this month, I admit. But completion of a seven book series, at last. Hope to do better this year as the year goes on.

The Dance of the Serpents (Frey & McGray), Oscar de Muriel
I found parts of the chase sequences a little erratic, but this was still another enjoyable book in the seven-part series. Not as humorous as earlier books, although this is likely owing to the author increasing tension leading up to the finish.

The Sign of the Devil (Frey & McGray), Oscar de Muriel
And we come to the last one. I liked the relationships changed and surprised me in this book. An excellent ending to a well-plotted series, with ever characters doing their all to help each other in this one. I don’t know if anything really surprised me by the time I reached the end, having taken the time not to rush through them reading them consecutively. But I was definitely rooting for the right people to survive, fearing they might not all make it. Plenty of suspense, and I really liked where the various relationships concluded. I’ve been trying to clear out books after I read them except those I truly love, and I will keep these at least for now.
