Chick lit + historical adventure romance with spies = a very entertaining read
Eloise Kelly is an American history student trying to find material for her dissertation in England. Enamoured with the dashing gentleman spies of the late 18th and early 19th Century, like the Scarlet Pimpernel and his successor the Purple Gentian, what Eloise really wants to do is unmask the identity of the most elusive spy of all, the Pink Carnation, who is rumoured to have stopped Napoleon’s invasion of England in 1803. When Eloise is allowed to browse through a cache of letters and diaries […]
A member of the senior council of wizards is murdered. Harry has to clear the name of his nemesis.
This is the eleventh book in the Dresden Files. You don’t want to start with this one, there’s far too much in the book building on stuff already established. I’d recommend anyone new to the books to start with book 4. The first three were a complete slog to get through for me. The audio book versions, read by James Marsters, are all highly recommended. Harry Dresden is extremely surprised when Morgan, the wizard whose probably shown the most animosity towards Harry in the past, shows […]
Famous girl meets dream guy. They fall in love. That’s about it.
3.5 stars Disclaimer! I was granted a copy of this through NetGalley. I have not recieved any kind of compensation for this review. Hailey Bloom has been a movie star and a recording artist since she was a child, but has finally torn herself away from her controlling, manipulative, fame hungry mother and is pursuing her own dream of going to college. Not one of the really big famous ones, where she might still get lots of attention, but a small one in Vermont. She wants […]

Because one of her brothers has run away and Saturday believes her ocean may have drowned him, she grabs her trusty axe (which has decided to change shape into a sword for the time being) and sets sail on her sister Thursday’s pirate ship in order to try […]
The girl in the red cloak is a princess, and the wolf is a landless earl in a mask. Grandma’s sort of sinister, though.
This is the third book in a series, which began with Princess of the Midnight Ball. While you don’t really need to have read the second book in the series, Princess of Glass to fully appreciate the book, you should probably have read the first one (or at least be more than passingly familiar with the fairytale of The Twelve Dancing Princesses) to get the full experience of this book, as there are a lot of references to the events of the first book. There will also be mild spoilers […]
