I recently read Nettle & Bone and loved it because Kingfisher writes quirky. Then I read Jackalope Wives, which is absolutely fantastic. So a Poe retelling by this author is a must-read. Alex Easton has received a letter. Years previously, she served with Roderick Usher and befriended his sister Madeline. The letter states Madeline is… Continue reading What Moves the Dead, T.

He and his wife haven’t had it easy. So, with dreams of starting over elsewhere, they never imagined… Continue reading Eyeshot and Hairpin Bridge, Taylor Adams
Blood and Moonlight, Erin Beaty
Honestly, I got the vibe from the blurb and other reviewers that this would be a fantasy/thriller. And it is fantasy, somewhat, though really light on it. I would label it a mystery/romance because it’s heavy on the “will they won’t they” arc. I received this in the mail 6 days before release day, and… Continue reading Blood and Moonlight, Erin Beaty
The Atlas Six, Olivia Blake
I have mixed feelings about The Atlas Six. I enjoyed the varying magical abilities as they carried such possibilities. I think once explored, they could open many doorways. However, a lot of the text was tedious for me. I didn’t mind the varying points of view, but sometimes I just wanted to skim over chunks… Continue reading The Atlas Six, Olivia Blake

The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina, Zoraida Córdova
The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina is a quirky read from the very start. The storyline is engaging, and it all seems so relatively, harmlessly normal. However, when we start to travel back in time to Orquídea’s youth, we can fully appreciate how we got to this point, with a large family whose matriarch has always… Continue reading The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina, Zoraida Córdova
The Girl Who Survived, Lisa Jackson
Kensington Books was kind enough to send this paperback, and the photos of the cover do not do it justice. It really is a lovely cover. Kara is barely getting by. Traumatized by her brutal past, she’s shocked to learn they released her brother from prison early. She’s sure he wasn’t the reason her family… Continue reading The Girl Who Survived, Lisa Jackson
This Vicious Grace, Emily Thiede
"How cruel, that sharing someone else's grief did nothing to alleviate it for them." Oh, I have so many feelings, and I don't know what to do with them. First, I want to gratefully thank the author for giving me a happy enough for now sort of ending that I can feel good about. Gah,… Continue reading This Vicious Grace, Emily Thiede
Wake the Bones, Elizabeth Kilcoyne
Wake the Bones is a book that takes a bit to get into because we jump right into the middle of the story. It all seemed so ordinary. As a Vermonter, it was an utterly relatable day-to-day life. But then the characters revealed themselves. Their depth poured off the page in the middle of this… Continue reading Wake the Bones, Elizabeth Kilcoyne
