Gather the Daughters by Jennie Melamud

I’m going to start this review by giving a trigger warning: this novel deals with uncomfortable topics like incest and child abuse. Please keep that in mind if you are choosing to read this novel. With that, I’m going to start my review: Years ago, just before the country was incinerated to wasteland, 10 men…

I’ve never read anything by this author, but he is definitely well known for his other works. After hearing so many positive things about Clines’ other books, I decided to give this ARC a go. Here is my review: Eli lives in Sanders, a town where nothing ever changes, a town that seems to be…

The Good People by Hannah Kent

I’ve been seeing this book everywhere and I really liked the premise of the story. It hints at fairy lore and herbs and changelings, as well as featuring 3 women as the main characters. I was really excited to read this book. So here is my review: Hedged in by gossip and joined by their…

These Violent Delights by Victoria Namkung

I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Abuse of any kind has been a topic that a lot of authors are writing about. It is a very sensitive topic that needs to be taken seriously and handled carefully. There have been many times when authors try…
