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

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

You’re My IT, C.N. Holmberg
When Charlie announced on her social media that she was going to be taking a foray into contemporary romance, I said shut up and take my money. And then patiently (not patiently) waited for this book to release. I consumed it in half a day, and why do I do these things to myself, because… Continue reading You’re My IT, C.N. Holmberg

Incredibly frail compared to so many other animals, but at the same time it can endure a lot, and get used to things you wouldn’t believe it could.

The Push, Ashley Audrain
If I hadn't started reading this before bed, I probably wouldn't have put the book down. I think it's so easy to take the words our parents say to us and carry them like a mantra in our lives. Letting the mantra shape us into this person at their say so. It's that pattern that… Continue reading The Push, Ashley Audrain
