Review: Inceptio (Roma Nova #1) by Alison Morton
This is my first experience reading an alternative history novel. Inceptio is not just an alternative history novel though…it’s part political thriller, part romance, and part fantasy.

She isn’t seeing anyone special, and like most young women on their own, she’s barely making ends meet. But all that is about to change, in a big way. When she starts working on a new account for a Roma Nova organization, she has no idea they are actually there surveying her. She soon…

Review: The Bone Church by Victoria Dougherty
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…
