Escape to Lilacwellby Sasha Morgan

I read a lot of books in this genre. Sometimes (very rarely), I come across books that work for the majority of the population and not for me. If you look at the ratings for this book, you will know what I mean.We have multiple separate voices here. The central figure is Adira. She has…

Lily’s Secret Inheritance by Kristin Harper

This is one of those rare occasions where I did not enjoy a book and simultaneously thought the author wrote well. Her characters were not stilted in their interactions, nor was it hard to empathize with the emotional upheaval the people went through. It is obvious how much I am in the minority since the…

Mistress Mackintosh and the Shaw Wretch by Rose Prendeville

This year, I decided to go back to historical romances to see if I still enjoy them as I once used to. It turns out that I am not completely blown away by many of them. In that attempt, I chose to pick this book because it was based in a different time and place…

What Comes Before Dawn by Addison Michael

I have a conflicting relationship with thrillers of this ilk. I once gorged on them and slowly tapered off them. I keep trying some, once in a while, to check if I found the one that breaks my streak.I preface my review with that short point because this is a highly rated book on Goodreads…

Win Place Show by Liz Crowe

I picked this book at a time when I was looking for a light romantic read, and this seemed to fit the bill. The story begins with the female protagonist in a waxing parlour, and I was a little concerned about the tone of things to come. I am not a fan of raunchy stories…

The Sparrows of Montenegro by B.J.Mayo

I went through a few ups and downs in liking the book. I wanted to read this book because of the unusual setup and the cover. I did not pay too close attention to what I might be getting because this is not a topic that endears itself to me. I am not a fan…

The Summer We Forgot by Caroline George

This book started off well. The strange situation of an entire summer that everyone forgot was quite appealing (in a thriller sort of way).We have two central narrators who have been torn apart by a misunderstanding that also divided their supportive friends. Each carries a secret that is all set to be revealed when one…

Ripple by Jim Cosgrove

There was a phase in life where I wanted to and did watch a lot of crime shows and a few true crime ones as well. I have not read many, mostly because many of them are unsolved, and it is not as helpful to read a book about an actual victim and find out…
