Bury the Living starts off in Belfast Ireland, 1990. A tumultuous time in Irish history. Nora O'Reilly has always believed in the IRA cause. Because of the deaths in her family because of the "Troubles", Nora is now a missionary in Africa, where there is also danger. She comes back to Ireland for an...
Bury the Living is the latest work by Jodi McIsaac, and the first book in her new Revolutionary series. It's a bit of a hodge-podge genre-wise, but it all fits together, and creates a cohesive tale. Nora O'Reilly is a rebel, born and bred. From her family fighting in the Irish Civil war, to Nora's...
I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Why prions? Throughout the entire book that thought kept circulating through my head. To put it simply, prions are proteins that are improperly folded. Due to the nature of their configuration, the proteins mass t...
I love this story. I loved the first book. As a mother the story just caught me. This is the 2nd book in a series. I know that I will not like the 2nd book as much as the first but still I am a little disappointed. I really wanted more. It was still a good book just not a five star book. It is still...
I loved this book. I was hooked by page 20 and crying by page 60. I do not cry over books. I have cried only a few (3) time because of books. Jodi McIsaac got me emotional involved in this book from the first page. I related to Cedar. She is this wonderful mother doing the best she can for her daugh...

3.5 starsThe story drew me in right away and I found I couldn’t put the book aside for long without wanting to know what was going to happen next. For a debut novel, I think the story-telling was very good and things were woven together nicely. I will definitely check out the second book in the near...
Thanks to Netgalley and publishers for providing a free copy of this book for an honest review.There's mythology (Celtic), there's fantasy and there's mystery. I should have loved it. But even though the writing was good, and the pacing average, it didn't strike me much. The protagonist Cedar, for i...
Through the Door by Jodi McIsaac is a very fun introduction to fantasy based on celtic mythology. Through the Door also has the interesting aspect of focusing on a single mother as the main character, though her daughter is the one with the special powers. This is a dynamic I haven’t read ever befor...
