Review: A Golden Fury by Samantha Cohoe

A Golden Fury by Samantha Cohoe
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

📚 Hello Book Friends! A GOLDEN FURY by Samantha Cohoe is a great YA fantasy. The female protagonist is strong and a good role model. I enjoyed the science aspect of the book too. The book appears to contain a historical facette, but it was well developed if that was the author's intention. I also felt that the story was yoyoing too much and it felt rushed. I think there is enough material to write a trilogy:

1. one happening in France about Thea, her mom, and Will, showing their relationship and the unset of their research;
2. one happening in England about Thea, her dad, and Dominic, showing their relationship and the introduction of the German connection;
3. and one more happening either back in France or somewhere else in Europe, showing the Philosopher’s stone connection to Thea and how she dealt with it. It would also show her decision to choose Will or Dominic.

It was a quick and enjoyable read, nonetheless.

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. Despite the novel's debut status, Armstrong displays a seasoned storytelling flair, creating a suspenseful, paranormal
