REVIEW: Daughter of Deep Silence by Carrie Ryan

JiaB ReviewsDutton / revenge / thriller / Young-AdultComments Off on REVIEW: Daughter of Deep Silence by Carrie Ryan

REVIEW: Omens by Kelley Armstrong

JiaC+ Reviewsadoption / Conspiracy / Dutton / estranged family / Fantasy / Penguin / Serial-KillerComments Off on REVIEW: Omens by Kelley Armstrong

REVIEW: The Orchid Affair by Lauren Willig

JayneB ReviewsDutton / France / Historical Romances / Lauren Willig / Pink Carnation / Regency England11 Comments

Dear Ms Willig, I always seem to be behind in keeping up with this series but I think it’s because I want to be sure I have a Pink Carnation book on hand. And in this instance it worked beautifully for me. You see, I’ve been in a reading slump ... more >
