Book Review: The Undoing Of Violet Claybourne

As much as I want to love The Undoing of Violet Claybourne, I felt like a lot has been left out in order for me to get into that level. Granted that I am not really a fan of historical gothic mysteries, it takes a lot for me to love a book belonging to the genre. Sure, there were a lot of things to be explored in this book and I think that Emily Critchley has a grand idea about this book but somehow, fell short of executing it thoroughly. So with The Undoing of Violet Claybourne, we have our…

Book Review: Voice Like A Hyacinth

As soon as I finished Voice Like A Hyacinth, I immediately went into a contemplative mode.

While I was reading A Betrayal of Storms, I felt like I was running a daily errand that I just want to finish as…

Book Review: Until We Shatter

I wish people would stop putting out blurbs saying that X book is akin to this X book meets Y book because it just builds expectations that usually turn into disappointments. As a reader, I seldom pick up books just because they are touted as this A book meets B book. I love reading and rating a book for its own merits and not because they are some sort of riding on the coat tails of famous books. In the case of Until We Shatter though, I made an exception because when a book is being touted as Six of…
