  • Special Feature: A Flame Through Eternity by Anna Belfrage

    July 15, 2020 / Comments Off on Special Feature: A Flame Through Eternity by Anna Belfrage

    A Flame Through Eternity by Anna Belfrage Publication Date: December 2, 2019 Timelight Press Series: The Wanderer, Book Three Genre: Historical Fiction     It started 3,000 years ago. It ends now. Who survives the final confrontation? According to Helle Madsen, being the protagonist of a time-spanning epic love story has some things going for it, primarily Jason Morris. Because seriously, meeting up with your fated lover after 3 000 years apart is not bad—at all. Unfortunately, where Jason goes, there goes Sam Woolf, yet another very, very ancient acquaintance—with the fundamental difference that Sam is not into Happily Ever After. He’s into destruction, more specifically of Jason and Helle.…

  • Review: Lady Rights a Wrong (Manor Cat Mystery #2) by Eliza Casey

    July 14, 2020 / Comments Off on Review: Lady Rights a Wrong (Manor Cat Mystery #2) by Eliza Casey

    I had the pleasure of reading the first book in the series last year and it wasn’t bad, but some of the things in the story were a little reaching. That said the first book had a lot to recommend itself and I was open to reading the second book in the series to see how thing shaped up with a little bit of polish and experience under the author’s belt. This series boasts likable characters with sass and sweetness and I was excited to see how Lady Cecilia Bates and her maid Jane, solve crime in this latest installment.

  • Review: Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

    July 10, 2020 / 3 Comments

    Please excuse me while I fan girl and gush over this book. Mexican Gothic was on my radar months ago and I have been eager to read it ever since I downloaded my ARC back in February. That cover is outstanding and the whole summary spoke to my dark heart. One of my favorite authors is Victoria Holt and I absolutely adore all of her books. The author of this book, Silvia Moreno-Garcia wrote a fantastic piece in the book club kit for this book all about the popularity of novels similar to Victoria Holt. It’s worth reading so you should absolutely check it out. This book was also a…

    July 7, 2020 / Comments Off on Review: A Shadowed Fate (Claire Clairmont #2) by Marty Ambrose

    I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while. I absolutely love the cover and I thought the premise sounded fun and different. I knew it was part of a series (it’s the second book) but I figured that it could be read as a standalone since most of the time, authors of series usually do a great job filling new readers in on things that happened in the previous book. The other thing I liked about this one was that it was on the shorter side (just under 200 pages) so more like a novella length so I figured it would be a very quick read for me.

  • Review: The Lost Orphan by Stacey Halls

    June 26, 2020 / Comments Off on Review: The Lost Orphan by Stacey Halls

    I love how books find me. I have been eye balling the book The Foundling on Amazon for months now as well as The Familiars but I just haven’t decided to pull the trigger yet. The covers are gorgeous and the premise for each book sounds excellent, but I have been trying to be good and not buy so many new books so I decided to hold off on purchasing The Foundling. Flash forward to March when I was asked to review The Lost Orphan by Stacey Halls. I thought it sounded interesting and said yes, all the while I kept my eye on The Founding oh so longingly. When…

    June 22, 2020 / Comments Off on Review: A Royal Affair (Sparks & Bainbridge Mystery #2) by Allison Montclair

    After reading the first book in this new historical mystery series last year at about this same time, I was eager to read the next installment and see how well the next mystery satisfied. I remembered really enjoying the relationship between the two main characters, Iris and Gwen. I thought they were funny and paired well together so I was eager to see how that translated in this latest mystery. The other thing that I thought sounded so much fun was this book was that this time the mystery was to include members of the royal family.

    June 20, 2020 / Comments Off on Review: The Twelve Clues of Christmas (Royal Spyness #6) by Rhys Bowen

    Over the last year or so, I have been making a big effort to go back and catch up on some long running historical mystery series that I have loved but haven’t read all the books. The Royal Spyness books are at the top of that list. I read a few of the later books and then went back and read a few of the first books in the series but then I kind of stalled on the series and moved on to something else. I meant to pick this one up at Christmas time as this one is obviously set around the holidays, but I didn’t and then I…

  • Review: The Woman in the Green Dress by Tea Cooper

    June 19, 2020 / 1 Comment

    Let’s just start by pointing out the obvious here—-this cover is gorgeous! And then I read the summary and couldn’t wait to dive in! A cursed gemstone set in WWI, sign me up is exactly what I said! Ok if I am being honest, I stopped reading the summary after ‘cursed opal’ because I was already sold on this book! I haven’t read anything else by Tea Cooper but I know that she has written a ton of books, many of which sound interesting and fun so I felt confident giving this one a shot. Especially given that this book promised romance, mystery, and intrigue. All the things I love in…
