Literary journey of an office career escapee
Sometimes we all need a gentle nudge. We need it for various reasons. To snap out of the apathy caused by the everyday routine that feels like a burden. To refocus after we’ve mulled over grim thoughts for too long. To see a new perspective. To remember that life has a brighter side. After all,... Continue Reading →
I’ve read all of Kat Kinney’s books, and I honestly can’t say which of her three paranormal series I love best. I pre-ordered “Fallen”, book two in the Everwood Falls series, and I couldn’t wait to read Lucien and Isabel’s story after my curiosity about them had been ignited while reading book one “Light My Pyre”. And... Continue Reading →
A satisfying conclusion to the main plotlines and a promise of new exciting adventures – all against the backdrop of immersive world-building. This is what the readers will get from “An Alliance of Fire and Steel”, book three of the Dulcea's Rebellion trilogy by Laura Maybrooke. This high fantasy romance series is a real treat...

I’m already about one-third into the third book of the series, so I’ll keep this review short and to the point. All three books have already begun to mix in my head in one completely engrossing narrative, so I’ll do my best not to give out any spoilers. “Down A Darker Path”, book two of... Continue Reading →
I devoured this book in a few sittings. Like other books by this author, “The Mysterious Disappearance of Mr. Darcy” has everything that Jane Austen fans crave to find in “Pride and Prejudice” variations. More of the romance between Lizzy and Mr. Darcy, the English high society, constrained by the strict rules of propriety but... Continue Reading →
Every rebellion needs a symbol. Humans need a leader with unmatched power who will make them believe that victory is possible. Supernatural creatures need something more. A Silver Elf, an enchantress, a dragonmistress of the golden dragons clan fits the role well. “Immortal Defiance”, book one of the Dulcea's Rebellion series by Laura Maybrooke, begins...

I'm beyond excited that my new book "Broken Chances" has received a 5-star review from Readers' Favorite. "Broken Chances is a work of fiction in the romance, slice-of-life, and women’s fiction subgenres. It is best suited to the general adult reading audience and contains some reference to emotional and physical abuse, but no graphic content.... Continue Reading →
It was a chore to read this book. Yet, after I finished it, I felt as if I had lived among the troubled Compsons rather than read about them. The stream-of-consciousness narrative isn’t for every reader to digest and to enjoy. And when it’s a stream of a person with a mental disability and the... Continue Reading →
They say that it’s normal for the young to be impulsive. They say: "When does one have more freedom to explore what life has to offer than in one’s youth?" What nobody seems to pay much attention to is that adventures can be dangerous. What many consider the proof of the adult’s fossilised mind, at... Continue Reading →
This charming story is for everyone who wants a blissful escape from their everyday worries. I kept turning the pages, smiling and giggling at Jenni’s antics, and couldn’t get enough of quaint Sixpenny Bisset. Even though this pretty town in Dorset is fictional, it felt every bit real to me. “The Newcomer” by Caroline Rebisz... Continue Reading →
