An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena

I’ve had a very interesting relationship with Shari Lapena. What I mean is I have pretty much disliked all of her previous books. And yet, I am always intrigued by the premise of whatever books she puts out and I find myself gravitating towards them. I was a little worried when I decided to give…

The English Wife by Lauren Willig

I saw this book and was immediately drawn by its beautiful cover. And after I read the premise of this story, I knew that I had to give it a shot. It has been so long since I’ve read a historical fiction novel, and this was the perfect chance for me to get back into…

The Wages of Sin by Kaite Welsh

I heard about this book when it first came out in March and added it to by TBR list. I really liked the idea of reading from the perspective of a female medical student from the 1890s, a very unheard of phenomenon back in the day. I also just love a good historical murder mystery.…

One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus

First Watch by Dale Lucas – Fifth Ward #1

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The premise of this novel was so interesting that I had to request it right away. I love fantasy stories and this one had so many magical creatures involved that I was excited for it right away. Here is…

Gods of Gotham by Lyndsay Faye

I had previously read Jane Steele by this same author, and found myself in love with her retelling of Jane Eyre. The characters, the historical setting, and the plot had been so wonderfully written that I could not stop reading the novel. It’s still one of my favorite historical fiction/retelling-of-a-classic books. I was excited to…

A Deadly Affection by Cuyler Overholt

This novel was given to me by NetGalley as an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. YAYYY Historical Fiction!!!!! Most of the time, when I choose to read a historical fiction novel, it is something sad that illuminates the trials and struggles of a certain race during a difficult period of history. I…

Corrupted by Lisa Scottoline

I’ve been reading a lot of mysteries and thrillers lately and this novel is no exception. But I will admit that I’ve become a bit disenchanted with the genre; after a while, all of the books start to sound the same. Trying to find a unique novel can sometimes be very difficult as you start…
