My Rating ★★★ Book Review I had read another book by the author and was impressed with the story and the author's writing style and consequently added most of them to my TBR. The Veiled Bride was not as expected, even though I would like to read a couple of more books by author Elizabeth…

Book Review Ha, my favorite trio is back with another adventure thriller. Book # 3 in the National Parks mystery series that can be read as a standalone for the mystery.

Book Review “I admit the possibility” – the words that somehow embody the spirit of human beings, irrespective of the kind of belief that drives you, irrespective of the fact that you can be an atheist or a skeptic, there comes a time in everyone’s life that you want to hold on to something, some…
Book Review YUP, quite late with my review but hey, spooky season it is and I had to get it done before another year passed by.So, once again my favorite genres all around, mystery, dual timeline, haunted house ahem, not just a house, an asylum that too, and a central protagonist who has her own…
Book Review Jess Kidd’s Mr. Flood’s Last Resort is one of those books that make you feel all the emotional highs and lows. A story of a cantankerous old man whose eccentric hoarding ways and belligerent attitude had run off many a caretaker except Maud and Maud herself understanding trauma and vowing to never give…

My Rating ★★★★★ Book Review What a delicious treat to imagine Eric Bana as Aaron Falk in Jane Harper’s latest release Exiles. Author Harper needs no introduction, her uber successful The DRY is essentially an all time favorite book that I would be happy to re-read any number of times, and ever since it has…
My Rating ★★★★★ Book Review Mimi Mathews has a distinct quality in her writing, I have read a couple of works by the author and the primary feeling she leaves me with is I would say ‘contentment.’ There is a sense of fullness after reading the last page in her stories which is kinda necessary…
My Rating ★★★★★ Book Review Edward Teach or more famously Blackbeard and his life as a pirate is one of wonder. For a pirate to spurn violence and still instill the fear of gods in his opponents is no mean feat. Author Carol Ann Collins uses the pirate’s story and the rumor of his treasure…
My Rating ★★★★★ Book Review “But his soul was mad. Being alone in the wilderness, it had looked within itself and, by heavens, I tell you, it had gone mad” Joseph Conrad The title of the book CONSUMED fits the story to the ‘T’, that is the first thought that crossed my mind, and after…

My Rating ★★★★ Book Review If only I had made a list of the 1001 careers the prolific author has carved out in her 1001 published books, maybe I would become a career guidance counsellor by myself. Not a joke guys seriously, Nora Roberts surely has a good collection out there. Well, most of us…
My Rating ★★★★★ Book Review Authors I believe have incredible power in their hands, especially those that write fantasy, to create a magical world so dazzling that for a time, one loses sense of the reality existing outside the book. Lucy Holden’s fantasy story set in Astria is brimming with intense electricity, the kind that…
My Rating ★★★★★ Book Review It’s been almost 4 years since I read The Memory Woods by Sam Lloyd and to be honest, the story still resonates in my mind, haunting me with the most complex portrayal of its protagonist.
