Mist Of Midnight By Sandra Byrd
With a Gothic style mystery, a handsome Hussar, and a mysterious imposter, Mist of Midnight was a book I was very interested in reading. Rebecca returned form India reluctantly after the tragic death of her family and feels very much like a fish out of water. Like many repatriated citizens, the manners and social rules […]
Ex Libris Romance (35)
I am not big on paranormal romance, but Love Me To Death was a great combination of sexy times with a story that played on several different mythologies. Out leading man is a hot avenging angel, sent to kill the daughter of a man her hates, while our heroine has no idea what is going […]
A Memory Of Violets By Hazel Gaynor
A Memory Of Violets takes place in two time periods, the late 19th century and the early 20th century. Our main character is Tilly, a young woman who is leaving her home town for reasons we don’t immediately know and in 1912, the jobs a single woman of a certain class can have are somewhat […]
A Cold Legacy By Megan Shepherd
Inspired by Frankenstein, A Cold Legacy brings Juliet, Montgomery, Edward, and the rest of the group to Scotland, where they seek refuge at the home of Elizabeth von Stein. The setting is as Gothic as it gets, staying loyal to the mood of the original work. I heartily enjoyed diving back into this bizarre world, […]
After The War Is Over By Jennifer Robson
If you like stories about English people tethered by the constraints of class and money, this is the book for you. Fortunately, that is exactly what I like, so After The War Is Over was very enjoyable for me! Charlotte is a feminist, or as she would be called at that time, a suffragist. […]
Mortal Heart By Robin LaFevers
I remember getting an ARC of book one in this series and thinking that it would be another historical fantasy, but what I got was a book that was well researched with characters that were interesting and told a story with basis in actual history. Now that I am writing the review of […]
Witchrise By Victoria Lamb
This last installment of the Tudor Witch Trilogy combines history with a compelling story about witchcraft, romance, and a character that is pure evil and, of course, won’t die. Meg is walking a very fine line, trying to serve a young Elizabeth while also trying not to be caught practicing witchcraft. The Spanish Inquisition […]
Forbidden By Kimberley Griffiths Little
There are historical books, and then there are historical books. Forbidden goes way, way back to the 1760s BCE to a time when much of the Mesopotamian population was nomadic. Such it is with Jayden’s family, who is preparing for her wedding. As with women in that time, her marriage was her greatest contribution to […]
Salt & Storm By Kendall Kulper
Salt & Storm had a great plot and a lot of potential but I was left mostly disappointed by the end. Avery comes from a along line of witches and is ready to take her rightful place on the island when her mother takes her from that life and binds anyone from helping her return […]
