I can't write books so I review them instead
I’m so lucky to have gotten my hands on this book as soon as it released! I have been really bad when it comes to series; I almost always preorder the books, but when they arrive, I never read them. This is what has happened with the Queen of the Tearling series (I promise I…
I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This book has been long overdue on my TBR list; I mean, it was published in June and I just got to it now. However, I was really excited to read this novel because of its connections to mythology.…
I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Grandmére Ursule was one of the most powerful witches in her family. But when she dies trying to save the life of her tribe, her magic seems to have died with her. Even so, her daughters do their best…
This is a novel where I went in knowing nothing about the subject matter. I know absolutely nothing about tea or tea leaves; I don’t even drink tea (which is something that my family just can’t get over)!

I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I had previously read The Curious Affair of the Somnambulist and the Psychic Thief, the first book in the series. It had been an interesting read but not my cup of tea. However, I decided to give the second book…
I’ve always been fascinated by the Salem Witch trials. It was a time when paranoia and hallucinations ran rampant, leading to the death of many innocent women. I remember reading quite a few nonfiction novels to try to understand how this mass hysteria came to be. I haven’t had a chance to read a fictional…
I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I love historical fiction but I really don’t read much in the genre. Maybe because the most recent novels out there always seem to be either sci-fi/fantasy or mystery/thrillers. Either way, I relish the chance to read a historical…
