I can't write books so I review them instead
Thank you to Penguin Random House and their First to Read program for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I’m not a big fan of historical fiction and if you go through my blog, you will see that I haven’t read very many books from this genre. I always feel a bit guilty…
Before reading this book, I knew nothing about Medea or Jason and the Argonauts. In fact, I did a quick Wikipedia search into the origins of these characters before delving into this book so that I could properly understand the content. Here is my review: The story brings us aboard the ship Argo as it…
Awhile back, I read a book called Moon in the Palace by Weina Dai Randel. It felt like I was watching one of my historical Asian dramas, and I was happy to discover that the story was based off of a real historical figure. Not only is it based off of a historical figure, the main…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I’m not going to preface this review with much. I have too many opinions and thoughts going on and I know if I start writing something now, I will literally ramble and never stop. So with that being said,…

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Sawbones, the first book in this series, was one of my first forays into the Western genre. And I really liked it. The story was good, the theme was good, nothing felt overdone… it was just a great experience…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. What drew me to this novel was the long title. It made me curious (ha-ha) as to what this novel would be like. For several years, Miss Lane served as a collaborator and friend to Miss X, a member…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. London, 1921. Lord Johnny Fairfax has just been discovered dead in his study, along with another victim: an American man who was visiting Fairfax unexpectedly. For DCI Paul Stark, this case is more personal than just a heinous crime:…
It’s been a while since I’ve read a classic historical fiction crime novel. I’ve heard about this author’s work but I’ve never had the pleasure of reading anything by her, so I thought this would be a good time to accomplish both goals. Here is my review: It’s 1919 and the village of Wenfield is…
