It was very good! Lots of exitement, unexpected surprises. The characters are still great and she really can tell a good story

I dived right intoBook #4 The Serpent in Heaven

synopsis: Felicia, Lizbeth Rose’s half-sister and a student at the Grigori Rasputin school in San Diego—capital of the Holy Russian Empire—is caught between her own secrets and powerful family struggles. As a granddaughter of Rasputin, she provides an essential service to the hemophiliac Tsar Alexei, providing him the blood transfusions that keep him alive. Felicia is treated like nonentity at the bedside of the tsar, and at the school she’s seen as a charity case with no magical ability. But when Felicia is snatched outside the school, the facts of her heritage begin to surface. Felicia turns out to be far more than the Russian Mexican Lizbeth rescued. As Felicia’s history unravels and her true abilities become known, she becomes under attack from all directions. Only her courage will keep her alive

The POV has switched from Lizabeth to Felicia, and She jumps right into it too. This is the last one I can read for a while until they pop up on the discount list (which is where I got the first 4) or I get them from the library.

My book club is reading "The Body" by Bill Bryson. I am still waiting on my ebook from the library.

If you are familiar with Frangela from the Stephanie Miller show, they have a book club on their Patreon site. The newest book is Prequel by Rachel Maddow It's down to $4.99 on Amazon, so I snatched it up. This book club reads through a few chapters at a time so it is a different experience.
