Review: Last Day

Last DayLast Day by Luanne Rice
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book by Luanne Rice I have the pleasure reading. It won’t be the last. Her writing is gorgeous, and she creates intricate scenarios that lead the readers to believe that they know what will happen next and it does not always go that way. This keeps you reading and wanting to know where the story will go. ๐—Ÿ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜ ๐——๐—ฎ๐˜† is the story of two sisters, one painting, and a repeating event. Kate is devastated when she discovers her sister Beth’s murdered body. A flow of memories assails her as she remembers what happened to them twenty-three years prior. Is this a repeat crime or a copycat? Who killed Beth? Many have motives but only one person did it.

Suspenseful, this book is well structured and provides the readers with all the clues to solve the mystery. The ending is surprising and satisfying. Awesome book!

๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผ‍♀️ Thanks to Thomas Allen & Son for sending me an ARC of this fantastic novel. ๐—Ÿ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜ ๐——๐—ฎ๐˜† by Luanne Rice will be available at your favourite bookstore on February 1st, 2020.

Review: The Last Love Note by Emma Grey

The Last Love Note  by  Emma Grey My rating:  3 of 5 stars In THE LAST LOVE NOTE by Emma Grey, I embarked on a journey filled with conflicting emotions. Despite my initial eagerness to delve deeper into the narrative, the unexpected weightiness of the prose caught me off guard. The narrative's frequent jumps in timeline, especially in audiobook format, proved disorienting and challenging to follow. However, Leeanna Walsman's narration was outstanding, rescuing the experience with her excellent delivery. The novel grapples with poignant themes, exploring the profound ideas of seizing life's moments and nurturing hope amid pain. Yet, occasional forced dialogue and slapstick humor felt incongruent with the somber tone. Nevertheless, the commendable growth of the characters and the author's skill in infusing joy and hope into a challenging narrative make it a worthwhile read. While my personal experience may differ, many readers have found this book highly enjoyable, so I e

Review: The Curse of Penryth Hall by Jess Armstrong

The Curse of Penryth Hall  by  Jess Armstrong My rating:  4 of 5 stars THE CURSE OF PENRYTH HALL by Jess Armstrong is a compelling blend of mystery, magic, and historical drama. Set in post-World War I England, the story follows Ruby Vaughn, an American heiress with a mysterious past, as she confronts old wounds and dark secrets in the haunting Penryth Hall. Armstrong's narrative, voiced by Ruby, skillfully weaves a complex tapestry of relationships, wartime experiences, and familial exile. While the plot centers around a murder mystery enveloped in whispers of curses and magic, Armstrong introduces a unique and captivating storyline. The atmospheric setting of Penryth Hall, with its foreboding aura, adds an eerie touch to the tale. The reveal of suspects and the intricate connections between characters keep the reader guessing until the satisfying conclusion.
