How to Book A Murder by Cynthia Kuhn

 I received an E Arc from net galley in exchange for an honest review 5/5 Stars *SPOILERS* Emma Starrs family bookshop is close to closing and desperate to save it Emma agrees to plan a mystery-themed party for her arch-nemesis Tabitha from school. However, what starts out as a delightful alcohol-filled party soon turns into a party planned worst nightmare when Tabitha's husband ends up dead. Emma along with her Author aunt is suddenly suspected with Tabitha telling everyone she can that they are to blame for her husband's untimely death. Can Emma and her aunt find out the truth before they are behind bars? This book is the perfect autumn read. It has everything to get me in the spirit, Halloween, murders and a bookstore. Emma was a delightful protaganist and while at times i felt like giving her a shake I was rooting for her the entire time. Although Tabitha did come across as a cartoon villain at times she was a fun read as the antagonist and I was convinced that she was the ...

The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E.Harrow

 4/5 Stars In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. As the ward of the wealthy Mr. Locke, she feels little different from the artefacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored, and utterly out of place. Then she finds a strange book. A book that carries the scent of other worlds, and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure and danger. Each page turn reveals impossible truths about the world and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own. I have to be honest here, I read this one a few weeks ago now and if you asked me what the plot was I would have no idea. I've read over the synopsis and I still haven't got a clue. However, what I do remember is that the writing was phenomenal and the characters were amazing and well written and it felt like I was with them the entire time I was reading it (even if I don't know what they were doing).

My June TBR

 Another TBR! 1) Love and Other Disasters by Anita Kelly Recently divorced and on the verge of bankruptcy, Dahlia Woodson is ready to reinvent herself on the popular reality competition show Chef’s Special. Too bad the first memorable move she makes is falling flat on her face, sending fish tacos flying—not quite the fresh start she was hoping for. Still, she's focused on winning, until she meets someone she might want a future with more than she needs the prize money. 2) Sorrowland by Rivers Solomon Vern--seven months pregnant and desperate to escape the strict religious compound where she was raised--flees for the shelter of the woods. There, she gives birth to twins and plans to raise them far from the outside world's influence.  But even in the forest, Vern is a hunted woman. She is forced to fight back against the community that refuses to let her go. She unleashes incredible brutality far beyond what a person should be capable of, her body wracked by inexplicable and unc...

Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake

 4/5 Stars Delilah Green swore she would never go back to Bright Falls—nothing is there for her but memories of a lonely childhood where she was little more than a burden to her cold and distant stepfamily. Her life is in New York, with her photography career finally gaining steam and her bed never empty. Sure, it’s a different woman every night, but that’s just fine with her. When Delilah’s estranged stepsister, Astrid, pressures her into photographing her wedding with a guilt trip and a five-figure check, Delilah finds herself back in the godforsaken town that she used to call home. She plans to breeze in and out, but then she sees Claire Sutherland, one of Astrid’s stuck-up besties, and decides that maybe there’s some fun (and a little retribution) to be had in Bright Falls, after all. I loved this book so much, the small-town romance, the friendships, (the tattoos), the smut level, and Claire and Delilah's relationship growth. It was perfect and the way it was written helped ma...

Unravel the Dusk by Elizabeth Lim

  4/5 Stars *Spoilers for books 1 and 2 in the Blood of the Stars Duology* This is the second book in the Blood of the Stars series. It follows Maia who in order to protect her father and her injured brother from the emperor she disguises herself as her brother Keton and joins a competition to find the best tailor in the kingdom. The only problem is that it is illegal to be a tailor as a woman and Maia has to do everything she can to not get caught. I want to start by saying that I absolutely love Elizabeth Lim's writing. she always makes the world and the characters come alive on the page. This was a very satisfying ending to the series it had everything that I wanted for Maia and Edan. The romance between the two was adorable as before and I loved seeing their dynamic on-page again and watching them do everything to protect each other was so good. I did feel like Lady Sarnai got away with everything that she did in the first book which I didn't really like as i wanted to she ...
