REVIEW: The Memory Dress by Jade Beer

Sandy M’s review of The Memory Dress by Jade Beer
Contemporary Fiction published by Berkley 5 Nov 24

I was intrigued by the title of this book, so I read the blurb and became that much more intrigued on several levels hinted at in the story. It’s my first book by Jade Beer, and it won’t be my last. From the heartbreaking issues of dementia to the days of Princess Diana’s hold over the world to the beautiful gowns her dressmakers lovingly created, this book takes you inside all of those areas with heart-wrenching emotions both exhilarating and tragic.

REVIEW: The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo

Kaitlyn‘s review of The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo
Historical Fantasy published by Flatiron Books 9 Apr 24

Overall, I enjoyed this book. It’s a historical fantasy set in the Golden Spanish age. It felt a little history info dumpy at times, but I tend to enjoy European history, so I didn’t mind too much. What worried me was right from the start, this felt very much like one of those books that would have an unsatisfying ending. Something like both MCs end up dead at the end, sacrificing themselves for their love. So I was pleasantly surprised when this had a happy ending.

REVIEW: You Can Kill by Rebecca Zanetti

Veena’s review of You Can Kill (Laurel Snow, Book 4) by Rebecca Zanetti
Romantic Thriller published by Zebra Books 22 Oct 24 

I’ve been hooked since I read the first book in this series, and the stories continue to get better and better and the murders grislier, but, most importantly, the relationships between Huck and Laurel and Laurel and her mother continue to get deeper and more real.  Let’s not forget the psychopathic sister and father on the sidelines looking for every edge to get into the action.

REVIEW: Book of the Month by Jennifer Probst

Veena’s review of Book of the Month by Jennifer Probst
Contemporary Romance published by Blue Box Press 22 Oct 24 

What an interesting theme for a love story.  Aspen Lourde wrote a book about her heartbreak and became an insta success.  Despite writing a couple of excellent books subsequently, success eludes her. Could it be that she needs another heartbreak in her personal life to write her next bestseller? Who better to break her heart than the local bad boy, who’s broken all the local women’s hearts in the little town where she’s spending her summer.
