The Girl Who Was Taken

Book review added by Nora on 2024-03-24

While I'm normally careful with my book purchases, especially for new authors, the rave reviews convinced me to take a chance when this title went on sale. Unfortunately, the book fell short of expectations.

It took a while to get invested in the story and characters. The perspective alternated between characters, primarily following medical examiner-in-training Livia. Her scenes were bogged down with excessive c... Read Full Review »

Book review added by Lynn on 2024-03-24

Kate Quinn has done an exceptional job in portraying the remarkable story of Mila, a real-life woman. In this book, she not only brings Mila's journey to life but also adds layers of intrigue, romance, and the rich Russian culture of that era.

Mila believes she possesses superior abilities compared to others in defending against the invading forces. Unlike in England, France, and America, where women's roles were... Read Full Review »

Twice in a Blue Moon

Book review added by Lynn on 2024-02-24

Twice In a Blue Moon is a sweet story of young love. The writing is well done and the characters are likeable. However, the story is a bit too simple and predictable for adults. I didn't find myself surprised by any of the twists and turns. I would recommend it to a younger audience who enjoys a light, fluffy romance.

The book follows the relationship between Sam and Tate, who meet on vacation and quickly fall i... Read Full Review »

Book review added by Lynn on 2024-02-09

I have mixed feelings about "The True Love Experiment" by Christina Lauren. I have loved some of her books, but this one fell short for me. "Fizzy" Chen has never been in love. She is an accomplished writer but is missing key elements in her life. Connor Prince is a charming and a single parent with a daughter he adores. They both get pulled together into a project that includes "Fizzy” dating single men on a reality... Read Full Review »

Fourth Wing

Book review added by Lynn on 2024-01-30

I initially had no interest in reading this book. I’m more of a romance genre kind of girl. But my best friend suggested it, so I gave it a try. At first, I was disappointed by its familiar plot elements. The main story line is very similar to the Divergent books, and the love interests seemed like a copy of the Hunger Games books. There is a good amount of magic in it as well, which reminded me of the Harry Potter s... Read Full Review »

The Maid

Book review added by Mel on 2024-01-25

This Canadian debut by Nita Prose deserves four stars! It's a fun and cozy mystery that kept me guessing. Molly the Maid is an intriguing character, and I couldn't always tell if I could trust her. She's the kind of character that will make you want to give her a hug one moment and shake her a bit the next.

This book is perfect for fans of light and cozy mysteries, and it has a satisfying ending. I really enj... Read Full Review »
