Amy Turner’s debut novel Voyage of the Pleiades is everything a person could want in a historical fiction book: an exotic setting, a captivating plot, and a heartfelt romance. Set in the late 1800s, this Victorian era novel was motivated by Amy’s desire to showcase the work of women naturalists of the time as well […]
Vampires of El Norte is a most compelling and intoxicating historical gothic thriller. While you're spooked and invested, you simultaneously learn so much history about Mexico. Isabel Cañas has so masterfully crafted a vivid story to obsess over, long after you finish reading.
A series involving time travel is no easy feat. Kelley Armstrong has created a life in 1869 Victorian Scotland that is almost more desirable than our MC’s modern life in 2019. I specifically say almost because Mallory definitely misses her family and friends in her true life. Also, the rules of fashion in 1869 don’t […]
I’m so glad I caught this audiobook on sale! It has time travel, murder mystery, and well written expressions of diversity in race and orientation. Mallory is in a fight for her life in a dark alley in Scotland circa 2019. As a modern day detective from Canada, she should have known better than to […]
A marriage of convenience became very inconvenient. I was pleasantly surprised by Something in the Heir. Regency romance is not one of my go-to book genres. Once I got settled into the story, I came to adore the trouble-making orphans. They’re kind of the stars of the show. The attempts of Emmeline and William looking […]
“We never, ever tire of the joy when they see themselves in their dress for the first time.” A Dress of Violet Taffeta by Tessa Arlen is an historical fiction account of the life of Lucille, aka Lady Duff-Gordon, a cutting-edge British-based fashion designer during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Her designs captured the […]
A Woman of Endurance by Dahlma Llanos Figueroa A beautiful contradiction of harrowing and inspiriting historical fiction novel, A Woman of Endurance by Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa is a monumental novel. This book will consume you as a reader and incite a viewpoint that could never be parted from your memory. A Woman of Endurance is a […]
I do not have the right words to express how important this book is for the world. Bloodmarked by Tracy Deonn is so deeply touching, while also being a thrilling journey for lovers of action-packed fantasy. Deonn managed to bring us to a world that mirrors our own but with a bonus layer of how […]
What Secrets Does the Island of Doctor Moreau Hold? The Daughter of Doctor Moreau is a loose retelling of The Island of Doctor Moreau by H. G. Wells, to the extent that it involves animal-human hybrids who have been engineered by a man who believes he can create the perfect specimen through his work. It […]
“Like Wendy Darling at the nursery window, we seize the opportunity to fly” Hearts of Briarwall by Krista Jensen is a wonderfully entertaining historical Rom-Com. Set in the “Gilded Age” of early 1900s rural England, this accurate period piece uses the dramatically changing times technologically, socially, and politically as the backdrop to the coming of […]
I am a huge fan of historical fiction. I love anything set far enough in the past that it feels like a whole different world. Sometimes I just want to experience something different without it being completely fiction. I generally am all about regency, WW1, WW2, or really just anything historical, so when this book […]
