Girls of Brackenhill by Kate Moretti

I have read and liked a previous book by the author(The Blackbird Season by Kate Moretti) and I wanted to give this a shot as well. The writing style and the claustrophobic atmosphere were on point. I could feel the stifling conditions that our lead protagonist found herself in when she gets a call that her(long…

Around the World on a Bicycle by Fred A. Birchmore

The first time around I had access to the EARC of this book, I did not download it in time. I was lucky enough to have the link reactivated so I could get the copy. All of this did not affect my reading experience in the least. This is the real-life story of the first…

The Invincible Summer of Juniper Jones By Daven McQueen

Due to multiple reasons I have been off the blog for a while. Hopefully I will kickstart the process again. So much so, my Nonfiction November stands at only a post for the first week and I might just be making one for the last! This was a fascinating book to encounter. I do not…

The Wife by Shalini Boland

I have read a few other books by the author earlier and reviewed them on this blog: Of the numerous thriller authors out there, few have the narrative style that I actually enjoy. I say this after three years of blogging and falling prey to the hype and reading the more popular authors. This does…

Murder at Blackwater Bend by Clara McKenna

I read and reviewed the first book earlier on the blog. I mentioned in the first review that this series held promise. It is a rare occasion when I can happily admit my prediction came true. This second instalment is a much better work than its predecessor. The writing was smooth and flowing, with emotions…

Furia by Yamile Saied Méndez

Narrated by Sol Madariaga I listened to the majority of this book but ended up reading the last two chapters because I was too impatient. I suggest listening to it if you are unfamiliar with the accent and words (as I was). With the right pronunciation, the experience was much better than I expected.This is…

A Lady Eleanor Swift Mystery #2, #4 by Verity Bright

I reviewed the first book of the series earlier on the blog Death at the Dance: I have read the first book of this series previously. At the time, I felt like there was potential and hoped to pick the next up. I have now made progress in the series although I am missing one…

South of the Buttonwood Tree by Heather Webber

There is something very soft about this book. Despite the razor edges of some of the problems our protagonists face, there is a cushion of magic thrown to catch them. I do not use the word magic as symbolic but directly pointing to the magical realism woven into the narrative. The extent to which the…
