By now, you’ll have seen that I’ve reviewed a few of Lady Emily’s adventures by Tahsa Alexander. I don’t want to review every book in a series because that would get monotonous, so I’m just trying to take a deeper look at those that speak to me. A Terrible Beauty definitely spoke to me, butContinueContinue reading “A Terribly Beauty – Tasha Alexander”

When Gods Die – C.S. Harris
I enjoyed this second installment of the Sebastian St. Cyr series much more than the first. The writing and plot were great in both, I just don’t care for the fugitive-on-the-run plot line. However, it was brave of Harris to use that for Sebastian’s debut novel, and I can’t argue it because it established allContinueContinue reading “When Gods Die – C.S. Harris”
After the Armistice Ball – Catriona McPherson
This is the first book that I’ve read by Catriona McPherson, and I will probably read the second. Pilots are always hard for me, whether they’re a TV show or novel, because of the time it takes to set up the characters and atmosphere. Sometimes a first novel isn’t representative of the rest of theContinueContinue reading “After the Armistice Ball – Catriona McPherson”

As I’ve now read ten of her novels, I’ve concluded that Bowen does an extraordinary job withContinueContinue reading “Malice at the Palace – Rhys Bowen”

Wrexford knows that Charlotte is the person behind the infamous A.J. Quill political cartoons, her most valuable secret. Between Wrexford’s scientific knowledge andContinueContinue reading “Murder at Half Moon Gate – Andrea Penrose”
A Royal Pain – Rhys Bowen
The title of this novel by Rhys Bowen is great foreshadowing for the plot – is the Royal Pain Her Highness, the queen of England and Georgie’s relative? Or is it the Bavarian princess the queen has tasked Georgie with entertaining? Or, is simply being royal a pain, as Georgie isn’t allowed to work forContinueContinue reading “A Royal Pain – Rhys Bowen”
