Review: When Gods Die (Sebastian St. Cyr #2) by C.S. Harris
I was approached a few years ago to read the Sebastian St Cyr series and at that time it was on book 12! I decided to give it a go, but I wanted to read the first book before I started book 12—so I did. I read the first book and I thought it was really good but I didn’t have a desire to go back and read the series from beginning to end so that I could read book 12. So read book 1 and then started book 12. Since then I have read books 12-14 with book 15 coming out later this spring. As I was approaching the…

Review: The Glittering Hour by Iona Grey
Sometimes I get pitched books months and months in advance and sometimes I simply forget a title until I pull up my calendar for the following month to see what I have coming up to read. That’s what happened with this book. I pulled up my December calendar…..the day after I made my Book of the Month selection for December. If you guys didn’t know, this book was a Book of the Month pick for December and Evie Dunmore who wrote Bringing Down the Duke (one of my favorite read of the year) recommended it so before I could look at my upcoming calendar, I selected this one and was…

Review: The Girl I Left Behind by Andie Newton
WWI or WWII novels are usually a pretty easy sell for me. I love them. There is something about the back drop of a war that adds drama and interest to a novel and I always enjoy reading modern war time novels set in this period. That said, not all WWI or WWII novels are created equal. While I enjoy books set in this time period, I don’t always love every single story that is set here. Often the historical fiction market is saturated with books set in WWII and I sometimes find myself worrying that the books I have read will just run together and not stand out. When…

Re-Post Review: The Lost Queen (The Lost Queen Trilogy #1) by Signe Pike
As we approach the ending of a decade and another year, the one question I get asked is what was your favorite read of 2019? This book, The Lost Queen, I read back in 2018 but it was late 2018 (October) and I feel like it still resonates with me over a year later. I gave it five stars and constantly recommend it to everyone I meet and I also gave it to both my sister and mom for Christmas last year. It was released in paperback in June 2019 so I am still going to count this as a favorite book for 2019 because of the paperback release…..is that…

Review: The Clergyman’s Wife: A Pride and Prejudice Novel by Molly Greeley
Charlotte Lucas always seemed like the least interesting character in Pride and Prejudice to me. We barely saw her in most of the story and though she was a good friend to Lizzy, the last we saw of her she was basically walking away with Elizabeth’s best hope of a husband (at that point any way). So when I saw that this one was coming out, I was eager to see how the author would portray Charlotte in this reimagining. It sounded so promising and after I read the pitch, I found myself wondering—what DID happen to Charlotte Lucas and Mr Collins?! Needless to say, I was eager to see…

Review: Lady Takes the Case (Manor Cat Mystery #1) by Eliza Casey
As soon as this book appeared on my desk I was eager to read it. I thought the cover was pretty and I love lady detective novels so basically this book was a must read for me. I was looking for something light and just fun since I had come off reading a few heaver read, it sounded perfect. This book boasts a well known romance writer writing under a pseudonym, though we are never told who the well known writer is. I was curious to see how that translated into a mystery novel, and I was admittedly even more curious about who said writer was.
