“The Younglings: Fire and Magic” is the second instalment of the Younglings fantasy series penned by Helena M. Craggs. This book is such a page-turner that I’ve read it in two days, grabbing every opportunity to read, even if I had only twenty free minutes. Quinn Carter and his team are back, and we join...

There was something unpleasantly disturbing about this book that didn’t let me fully enjoy reading it. I couldn’t make myself care about the characters, even though their inner struggles and reasons why they are the way they are were well depicted by the author.

I always find it hard to write about a book I really loved. “Sultry, Is the Night” by Barbara Avon is one of those books. That’s why, although I finished reading it a while ago, I couldn’t simply scribble a few lines saying “oh, what a great read”. It deserves more. Mario’s story is raw... Continue Reading →
Lady Ellen Montagu is the daughter of the Duke of Manchester. Although there are issues in her aristocratic family, including her father’s gambling and risk of bankruptcy, she is who she was born. For her, titles and rules of decorum are important. That’s why she makes decisions that can seem illogical to modern people. But... Continue Reading →
“Two Paths” is the second book of the historical romance trilogy “The Adventures of Lady Ellen Montagu” by J.G. MacLeod.
