City of Blades by Robert Jackson Bennett

A while ago, I had read the prequel to this novel, City of Stairs, which I thought was absolutely fantastic. However, it has taken me A LONG TIME to get to read this book. Why? Well, embarrassingly enough, I lost my review copy of this novel. Yes, I was careless enough to misplace the file…

I love classics but Jane Eyre has always been one of my favorite novels and I have read it countless times. The…

Cold Cold Heart by Tami Hoag

Before this novel, I had never heard of Tami Hoag. I had no idea that she was a bestselling author or that she had published more than 30 books. All I knew was that this novel was on many recommendation lists and that I had to make some time to read it. In all honesty,…
