Thank you to everyone who entered and a huge thank you to the publisher for making this giveaway possible!
I recently had the pleasure of reading quite a few historic thrillers. It’s kind of a new genre for me but books like The Bookman’s Tale and The Lincoln Myth have piqued my interest and made me want to give the genre a shot .
I have also started reading a lot of spy novels as well, so when The Bone Church came around for review I couldn’t resist the unique combo of spy novel and historic thriller!
Wartime Prague is the stage where our novel is set. A pair of fugitive lovers, Felix Andel and Magdalena Ruza, make a bargain with a Catholic cardinal in 1956 to smuggle a woman from Czechoslovakia. The other half of this complex tale is set in German-occupied Prague during WWII.
Magdalena is a Jew while Felix is a gentile. They work underground as resistance or freedom fighters where there is an assassination plot in the works. With the end of WWII and the Nazi party rule in Prague, it seems like life for the Jews as well as the gypsies, will improve. However a new power is ripe to take over the war torn Eastern European country.

The socially awkward Peter Byerly is an antiquarian book collector who might have just made a huge discovery.
Peter might have just discovered a manuscript–possibly a new Shakespearean manuscript–which needless to say would be priceless!
Peter is in a bad spot, he’s just lost his wife nine months prior to the opening of the novel, and he’s really only ever loved two things…..books and Amanda. So now he’s left with only his books.
Living in America, he decides to leave behind his old life and go live in the country cottage in the English countryside that him and Amanda bought before her death.
Living in the cottage makes Peter somewhat of a recluse. But while flipping through some old books/papers, he finds a portrait of a woman that looks a lot like Amanda…..but the problem is, the portrait was painted 100 years before she was even born! Could it possibly be her? What is her connection to the painting?

Four long years is how long I’ve been waiting for the latest Outlander installment, Written in My Own Heart’s Blood (MOHB).
The last book (AEITB), left some MAJOR cliff hangers and I was actually pretty upset about the way AEITB ended for at least a week after finishing it.
MOHB picks up right where AEITB ended, literally. I am not going to get too much into the back-story or other books as I am assuming if you are reading this review, you have already read the series up until this point.
I will admit, I should have re-read AEITB before I started this one. I was literally so lost for the first part of the novel.
