Dark Chronicles by Karmen Spiljak

By Emma Fitzgerald -

Thank you @rararesouces For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Dark Chronicles has 10 short stories, and the book is 179 pages long. All the stories were extremely entertaining. I did like some stories more than others, but they were all written exceptionally well. The short stories are dark and have a considerable amount of suspense, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading them. They are thrilling reads, and they are very different from what I normally read, which is always good. There is a good amount of twists and turns, and you don’t have to read each short story at the same time. I let each one digest in my head and read each one at different times and days to give them the attention they needed. I liked all the characters and the plots. Brilliant 5 stars. blurb Careful what you wish for. In Dark Chronicles, wishes have teeth. Ten speculative tales brimming with twisted humour and delicious menace: a pepper that lets you in on other people’s thoughts, a radio ...

Hope on Hope by Susan Gray

Thank you @hyggebooktours For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Hope on Hope is a historical genre. I try not to read many historical genres because I find them challenging to get into, but honestly, Hope on Hope was a pleasure to read. Hope on Hope is book two in the series, but I haven’t read book one, and I don’t feel like I need to because book two is a standalone book, and I felt like I was not missing anything, but I will definitely go back and read book one. The story is set in France and in England during World War II and after. The story is about a family: Chantelle is a midwife in France with her issues, and Tom and Rachel have children called Darcy and Josh who live in England and have their things to deal with too. I absolutely adore the front cover. It’s gorgeous, and it makes me want to go there. I thoroughly enjoyed all the characters. They were all really lovely and heartwarming people, and I felt like I was part of their family while reading ...

Retired Assassin’s Guide to Orchid Hunting

Thank you @rararesources For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The retired assassin’s guide to orchard hunting is a cozy mystery genre and is book two in the series. I haven’t read book one, and I kind of wish I did because at the beginning of this book I was struggling with who the characters were and what was going on; I feel like I missed some vital things. So I will definitely go back and read book one. The story is about Dante, who lives in a small town in New Zealand and wants to be left alone, and something happens that he has to try to find out what it is. The story took me a little while to get into, but once I got into it, I did enjoy it. The story is written beautifully and has some superb characters in the story. I did like Dante's character a lot; he did make me smile. I like the plot, and it is a very intriguing, entertaining read. Furthermore, I like the twists and turns in the book, which I didn’t see coming at all. A good read that made ...

The Wedding Lies by Jade Lee Wright

Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Wedding Lies is a psychological genre, which, as you all know by now, is one of my favorite reading genres. And wow, this book didn’t let me down. I was hooked, and it took me two days to read it. This is the first time I’ve read any books from Jade Lee Wright, but wow, what a writer! I will definitely be reading more of her books. The story is about Ivy, who is arriving in South Africa to meet her fiancé's family, but they are not what they seem at all. From the minute I opened the book, I was totally hooked and needed to know what was happening with this family. I had some ideas, but I was entirely wrong, and I love it when this happens. I also like it when a book makes you think constantly and lead you down a garden path that you’re entirely wrong about. Furthermore, I was completely shocked by the ending but loved it. There is a significant amount of tension and suspense running through t...

Thank you @hyggebooktours For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Evelyn Eventually is literary fiction. The front cover is absolutely gorgeous of the sea, and it made me want to go there. It also feels very peaceful and calming. The book is stunning and made me feel really calm and peaceful while reading it too. The story is about Evelyn, who decides to let her son and wife live in her house, and she goes to Northumberland to make a fresh start with her dog, and on the way she comes across some situations and meets some lovely people. I read Evelyn Eventually in two and a half days. I was fully invested in this book. It was so easy to get into, and I loved Evelyn as a character. She seemed to be a breath of fresh air, and I loved her determination to situations and to help people. The story is written exceedingly well and has a fantastic plot. Evelyn Eventually is a cozy and heartwarming read. I really liked the K. M. Price descriptions and her writing style....

Pretty Little Lies by Jessica Huntley

Thank you @zooloosBT and @jess_read_write For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Pretty Little Lies is a psychological thriller, which is my favorite genre, so I couldn’t wait to get into this book, and it did not disappoint me at all. I really like the front cover, and it works well with the book. The story is about Amelia, who relocates to Cambridge for love, but things don’t turn out how she wanted them to. I liked Amelia a lot. I felt for her going through all this, but I wasn’t sure about Noah, her fiancé. There was just something about him that I couldn’t put my finger on. The pacing was superb, and you could keep up with it. There is a considerable amount of suspense and tension running through the book, and I was constantly questioning myself. What I thought was going to happen. I was fundamentally wrong. I really like that the story is told in three parts by Noah and Amelia. I felt like I got to know them a lot more. The twist was great. Didn’t see it ...
