Review: The India Fan by Victoria Holt

Blackmail. Murder. Scandal. Lies. Deceit. Romance. Adventure. This book has it all!

Growing up, I loved Victoria Holt but sadly I haven’t read her in a number of years…..nor have I read many of her novels.

But she is the queen of a genre that calls to me–the gothic romance genre. When I saw The India Fan on Amazon, I knew it was time to it up this talented authoress again and see if she could still seduce me with her tales of suspense.

Drusilla Delany is the rectors daughter and has always grown up in the shadow of Framling House and the Framling family.

Fabian Framling has always been a spoiled child….over indulged by his domineering mother. Then there is his sister, the beautiful and impetuous Lavinia–she is everything that Drusilla is not.

Review: Helen Keller in Love by Rosie Sultan

Many of you know Helen Keller as the ‘miracle’. The def/blind/mute that graduated from the prestigious Radcliffe College in Cambridge Massachusetts.

Keller toured the country telling the story of her life, giving lectures, and motivational speeches to thousands. But the story we didn’t get to hear was the one of how she fell in love.

In this fictional account of Keller’s love affair with her secretary Peter Fagan, the audience is treated to a unique world of people with disabilities who struggle to live normal lives.

Keller first meets Fagan when her long time companion, Annie Sullivan, grows ill on a tour. Fagan is dispatched to be Keller’s secretary but after meeting him, Keller is infatuated by him.

Both Keller and Fagan are socialists and opposed to the Great War. They are outspoken and find they have a lot in common. Fagan makes Keller feel things that she knows she shouldn’t–feelings that she should fight.

Review: City of Lost Dreams (City of Dark Magic #2) by Magnus Flyte

Vienna and Prague are world renowned as cities full of music and the arts….and maybe even a little magic. It is here in the magical city of Vienna that we find musicologist Sarah Weston.

Sarah lives in a world where alchemy, science, and magic all exist together and create a wonderfully rich story….not to mention you throw in all the time travel through the beautiful streets of Prague and Vienna and you have a lyrical read!

Sarah is in Vienna looking for a cure for her friend Pollina who is on death’s door while her other friends, Max and Nico are also searching for a cure.

Nico is looking for an ancient alchemy cure in England when he finds that an old rival is one step ahead of him. Max is in Prague also searching for a cure but he is also trying to figure out the reappearance of  a long dead saint.

While the boys are off, Sarah becomes entangled in a deadly web of secrets, lies, stolen art, and a dangerously attractive horseman who’s more than a little bloodthirsty.
