Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres and Our Woman in Moscow is surprisingly the first book by Beatriz Williams I’ve read. I was especially intrigued by Williams’ usage of actual Cold War espionage characters and events. Though Williams uses some dual timeline structuring that is extremely common in historical fiction, I found it […]

[Chelsea’s Review]: Pride and Premeditation (Jane Austen Murder Mystery #1) by Tirzah Price
As a lover of both Pride and Prejudice and murder mysteries, I was excited when I heard about this book. The author does an excellent job of recreating a similar reading voice to that of Jane Austen and it was interesting how she adapted the familiar characters into this retelling. I always appreciate a strong […]
[Diane’s Review]: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
Take Me To The Highlands!! Scotland present day – A beautiful place. Scotland in 1743 – Maybe not so much. Content Warning and Possible Triggers: Rape, Abuse, Death. After many years I decided to finally pick up Outlander. I have absolutely no regrets. This book was beautiful, brutal, and eye opening to the times. While […]
[Rachel’s Review]: Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Things I Liked: Things I Didn’t: […]

[Lisa’s Review]: The Girl the Sea Gave Back by Adrienne Young
What drew me in about this book was for one the absolutely gorgeous cover, and then, of course, a girl with mysterious markings and abilities, gods, fate, and war? Count me in. I was beyond excited about the opportunity to read it. With the Girl the Sea Gave Back New York Times bestselling author Adrienne […]
[Victoria’s Review]: How to Love a Duke in Ten Days by Kerrigan Byrne
*This is a Trigger Warning for the Content in This Book: Depictions of Sexual Assault Found Within* Wow. Wow-oh-wow. You guys…this book…how do I even go about writing this review? Kerrigan Byrne is a somewhat new-to-me author that I discovered pretty recently (approximately a year ago). I started with The Highwayman, which was the first […]
