The Truth and Other Lies by Sascha Arango

I don’t know what I was expecting from this novel but it certainly wasn’t what I got! I’m so excited to write this review that I’m not going to bother giving any introduction for it! Henry Hayden has made it big in the literary world. His five novels have all been bestsellers and he is…

Conspiracy of Blood and Smoke by Anne Blankman

So this is the sequel to Prisoner of Night and Fog and marks the conclusion of this historical fiction tale. I had previously thought that it was a trilogy but I’m much happier with this arrangement; if it had been a trilogy, it may have dragged on for too long and not been as enjoyable.…

The Devil You Know by Elisabeth de Mariaffi

I’ve never been someone who has been partial when it comes to books. What I mean is that I don’t go out of my way to seek out books that have a Canadian background or an Indian background. But when I do come across a novel that is set in a country that I have…

Half a Crown by Jo Walton

This is the final book in the trilogy and I must admit that I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey of “the world that could have been”. Carmichael is now the head of the Watch, an elite organization meant to ensure that the Prime Minister’s bidding is done. However, Carmichael has plans of his own. Unbeknownst…

Lacy Eye by Jessica Treadway

I found the story line for this novel quite intriguing and I had to wait for quite a while to read it. It’s another psychological thriller novel (because I’m sure you’ve realized that I’m quite addicted to that genre). Anyways, here is my review. When Hanna and Joe send their youngest daughter, Dawn, off to…

The Forgotten Girl by Sara Blaedel

I was waiting for sooooo long for this murder mystery that I had almost forgotten about it. But after having read it, I can honestly say that it is one of the best books I’ve read this week! Louise Rick is an investigator who has signed up with a new division that handles all odd…

The Woods by Harlan Coben

So I loves this author so much that I rushed to get my hands on another book of his. And this was just as good as the last one! One summer camp night, Paul Copeland’s sister and 3 other teenagers went into the forest and disappeared. Twenty years later, he is still grieving for his…

Season of Darkness by Maureen Jennings

I read this book quickly but I didn’t write a review for it right away. I guess I’ve just been letting it sit, trying to determine what it is I want to say about out it. I think I know now. England in the 1940s is a chaotic place, especially because of what happened at…

The Stranger by Harlan Coben

One of my biggest problems reading any mystery or crime novel is that they are usually part of a huge series. Sometimes, the title that catches my eye is book #22 and then that means that I have to read all of the previous books before I can read that one (I hate not reading…

Prisoner of Night and Fog by Anne Blankman

I love historical fiction books! I actually had a phase in elementary school where all I read were historical books. This novel brings fond memories back to me and reminded me of why I love this genre so much. Gretchen Muller lives in a turbulent time; Munich in the 1930s is a dangerous place to…
