Narrated by Susannah Jones, The Raven Spell by Luanne G. Smith is the first in the Conspiracy of Magic historical fantasy series. Get ready for a great mystery, a little romance, and plenty of magic in this spellbinding tale that will leave you craving more.
We are back with another Veronica Speedwell mystery with An Impossible Impostor by Deanna Raybourn. In the installment we learn a bit about Veronica and her days before Stoker. Entertaining, suspenseful and filled with characters you’ll come to love.
Narrated by Polly Lee, Stolen Remains by Christine Trent is the second novel in the Lady of Ashes historical murder mystery series. Back in London after her mother falls ill, Violet Harper is asked to handle the funeral of Anthony Fairmont, the Viscount Raybourn, a close friend of Queen Victoria’s who died under suspicious circumstances. Violet soon investigates as one murder becomes two….
I enjoy a good time-traveling romance and was delighted to receive a copy of Taken by E.C. Roderick. This is the first in the Taken series and tells the story of Sylvina and what happens when she steps into a time slip. While not without flaws, it was a solid start to the series.
I love historical fiction steeped in history, so how could I resist, The Paris Bookseller by Kerri Maher. The author shares a peek into the life of American Sylvia Beach, who opened a bookstore/lending library called Shakespeare and Company on a quiet street in Paris. Famous authors, lovers and one woman’s efforts to see a banned book published. Grab a cuppa and see why book lovers need to add this to their bookshelf.
