📚The Beast You Let In
I couldn’t put this book down! There was so much happening, but it was easy to follow when you find out that the small town of Ashling has more to it’s history than what’s publicly known. The thing that was most emotional about this book is how Hazel and Beth had to hide who they… Read more

The Violet Hour
The Violet Hour is, to me, quintessentially a literary fiction. I’ve spent so much of my Bookstagram time in romance and fantasy that this particular book speaks like the subject that it surrounds: the harsh world art and those that deal in it.

This book is messed up in a good literary sense. It was gripping, fast paced and intense with a rollercoaster of emotions. It’s crazy how desperate people can be driven to do things in order to make money just to get by. Dell loses her job and the boss refuses to give her her last… Read more

ALC Review: Beecham’s Infirmary for the Affluent Afflicted
Love historical fiction that keeps the nitty gritty of the period. I read the novella before listening to the audio and I was impressed. It wasn’t like how I heard it in my mind as I read it so the narrators did an excellent job. They really made me feel more of the atmosphere than… Read more
