I can't write books so I review them instead
It has taken me a while to get to this book. Mostly because I really enjoyed the first novel and I was apprehensive as to whether I would like the second book. There’s this thing I like to refer to as “Second-Book Syndrome”; the second book in a series sucks in comparison to the first.…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Aliki is a lamenter, one who mourns and celebrates the passing of life. She is the last of her kind, part of a Greece that is evolving and moving away from its rural culture. When an American researcher asks…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I love my badass heroines. So when I read the premise and saw that this novel was about a girl whose parents are assassins, and that she is on the run, I fell in love. As the daughter of…

Ever since I read Margaret George’s book on Cleopatra, I have been a big fan. She takes history and makes it come to life through her storytelling. Many times, when I read historical fiction books, they can get very dry and boring as they try to provide context. George is one of the few who…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Although I’ve been meaning to get a lot of reading done this week, I have literally had no time. I’ve had so many deadlines for my classes and experiments to conduct in my lab that I have just been…
