Strangely enough, the title of Lesley Dimmock’s new novel, Out of Time, not only describes the plot, but also the general feeling of the book. Dimmock’s created a nice story and compelling characters, but the narrative still feels hasty and rushed, The book opens with Queen Elizabeth the first on horseback bickering with her courtiers.Read More
Casey reviews She Rises by Kate Worsley
I’m not sure how to begin this review. I have two options: 1) I can tell you I loved this book and urge you to get your hands on it right away; 2) I can warn you that it’s very difficult for me to discuss this book in any depth without revealing GIANT SPOILERS. YouRead More

Sponsored Review: Danika reviews Wet Paint by Sera Breen
Wet Paint is a fun, light romance novella, which would be perfect for a beach read (too bad that’s a bit out of season now). It plays into typical romance tropes, describing characters’ appearances in detail (who are all breathtakingly beautiful, of course), and sets up the free spirit artist who has just gotten outRead More
