Review: The Seven Sisters: A Novel (The Seven Sisters #1) by Lucinda Riley

by The Lit Bitch4 Comments on Review: The Seven Sisters: A Novel (The Seven Sisters #1) by Lucinda Riley

Lucinda Riley is an author who has long been on my radar to read. Her covers are always stunning and are always set in exotic locations.

When this book came across my desk for review, I had to agree. Who could say no to that eye catching cover and a story set in Rio?

Maia D’Apliese is the eldest of the six sisters and they all have been adopted by a wealthy billionaire.

They grew up in their father’s home on the shores of Lake Geneva. But now that he has passed away, they are all following his dying wish….getting back to their own roots.

Each of them is handed a tantalizing clue as to her true heritage and one clue takes Maia across the world to a crumbling mansion in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Once there, she begins to put together the pieces of her story and its beginnings.

Review: A Discovery of Witches (All Souls Trilogy #1) by Deborah Harkness

by The Lit Bitch4 Comments on Review: A Discovery of Witches (All Souls Trilogy #1) by Deborah Harkness

Diana Bishop has been trying to keep magic out of her life since she parents died when she was a girl.

She has thrown herself into her work as an alchemy historian and is presently in Oxford researching her next keynote speech.

While at Oxford’s Bodleian Library, Diana calls for an ancient alchemy manuscript, not knowing that it is actually bewitched!

Diana quickly returns the book once she jots down a couple of notes about the book. However, her discovery has drawn the attention of the supernatural world…..vampires, daemons, and other witches.

Suddenly Diana is being stalked by a number of creatures and she can’t help but wonder if it has something to do with the book. Diana has actually stumbled upon a long lost book of coveted treasure….and she is the only creature who can break its spell.

Special Feature: Thank You, Goodnight by Andy Abramowitz

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Special Feature: Thank You, Goodnight by Andy Abramowitz

Nick Hornby meets Almost Famous in this side-splittingly funny coming-of-middle-age debut novel about the lead singer of a one-hit wonder 90s band who tries for one more swing at the fences.

THANK YOU, GOODNIGHT by ANDY ABRAMOWITZ is a bitingly funny debut novel about Teddy Tremble, the lead singer of a one-hit wonder ’90s band who just might be ready for an encore (on-sale June 2, 2015; Touchstone).

Like Teddy, Andy Abramowitz is a Philadelphia lawyer with a (slightly less epic) lead singer past.

This American Booksellers Association “Indie Next Pick” is the perfect read not only for lapsed musicians, but for anyone who has a go-to guilty pleasure song and all those who know that, even if you don’t achieve your dream of dreams, you can still lead a life to be proud of.
