I have two intriguing (at least I think they are) YA books I'm highly anticipating. Drift & Dagger is this author's second release and I'm looking forward to it after liking her first one. The other book, Lock & Mori, sounds fabulous, especially since I rather love anything Sherlock Holmes related. So here they are...
Drift & Dagger by Kendall Kulper

Summary
In modern-day London, two brilliant high school students, one Sherlock Holmes and a Miss James "Mori" Moriarty, meet. A murder will bring them together. The truth very well might drive them apart.
Before they were mortal enemies, they were much more.
FACT: Someone has been murdered in London's Regent's Park. The police have no leads.
FACT: Miss James "Mori"Moriarty and Sherlock "Lock" Holmes should be hitting the books on a school night. Instead, they are out crashing a crime scene.
FACT: Lock has challenged Mori to solve the case before he does. Challenge accepted.
FACT: Despite agreeing to Lock's one rule--they must share every clue with each other--Mori is keeping secrets.
OBSERVATION: Sometimes you can't trust the people closest to you with matters of the heart. And after this case, Mori may never trust Lock again.

ReplyDeleteI love anything Sherlock, however it seems like I read something about this book I wasn't too excited about... what or where, I am not sure. I'll look forward to read MORE about it as its release date nears and hearing what you think if/when you read it, Tressa. :)
ReplyDeleteOoo, I knew that Kendall Kulper was coming out with a new novel, but I hadn't seen it until now! I still haven't read Salt and Storm, but Drift and Dagger is definitely going on my TBR. Lock & Mori sounds really interesting too!
