Our Crooked Hearts is a bit of a mind f-(you can guess the rest of that word). Ivy is a teenage girl with a strange mother, who at times is a bit scary. She is strange and does and says weird things that normal people just don’t. When a girl ends up running out of […]
I am still not over my desire for thrillers written with the great outdoors as the backdrop. After I finished my review for last month, I was forced to find another series to feed this obsession. There are a few that sparked my interest, but none more than the Anna Pigeon novels written by Nevada […]
I’ve been enjoying this Maggie D’arcy series as it has layers of plot. Maggie is a homicide detective in NY at the start of the series but she visits Ireland to try to find out what happened to her cousin. Her family has a rich history with Ireland, and runs an Irish bar on Long […]
Ordinary Monsters is the first book in the The Talents trilogy. Talents are people born with some special ability. Some can heal, others manipulate dust, one can animate items into a being, an invisible girl and then there are those that can make their bodies extremely dense and strong to not be hurt. The concept […]
I have always enjoyed this author and was excited to start a new series. I was a little hesitant because time travel is not my favorite thing. A Rip Through Time is where a modern day police detective ends up 150 years earlier. So the story is primarily set historically. Mallory thinks she dies but […]
Kingfisher has become one of my favorite authors. Her sense of humor is one I really enjoy, I have so much fun when I read her books. Nettle and Bone was exactly what I’ve come to expect from Kingfisher’s bools. Nettle and Bone is a standalone tale with interesting characters, on a journey they will […]
Seasonal Fears is the second book in the Alchemical Journeys series following an entirely new cast of characters who have just been set on the road to become the living embodiment of Summer and Winter. While you do not technically need to have read the first book to read this one, I think it is […]
Brandon Sanderson is one of the best known authors of modern fantasy.  The largest Kickstarter of all time is not a beverage cooler or a smart watch, but to fund the publication of four secret novels he wrote during quarantine.* He has a massive bibliography of original work as well as work he’s completed on […]
I have loved every one of the  Rockton series. I would not try to read this as a standalone. The whole series is amazing and  I highly recommend them. I listened to the whole series on audio, as I love Therese Plummer. Rockton is built on all kinds of secrets. The council has not shared […]
Marissa Meyer is the Queen of fairytale re-imaginings and I have loved her since first picking up the Lunar Chronicles years ago. Gilded is the first book in The Gilded series which is currently set to be a duology completely re-imagining the lore for the Rumpelstiltskin tale. I wasn’t as excited for this book as […]
