Purposefully Accidental by G Benson
A new favourite by G Benson I usually begin my reviews with a quick synopsis, but I’ll keep this one especially short since the whole story is about two people discovering each other and I don’t want to spoil even in the slightest. You need to know close to nothing in order to fall in […]

Love Dies Twice by Barbara Wilson
This cosy yet intricate mystery shines a light on women’s collectives in the 1980s When I reviewed the previous Cassandra Reilly mystery, Not the Real Jupiter, I wrote that I didn’t care much for Cassandra and that I might have enjoyed the book more had I read the ones that came before it.

Know It In The Dark by Skye Kilaen
A good second installment in the All These Gifts series This second novella in Skye Kilaen‘s All These Gifts series picks up two weeks after If I Were A Weapon. Don’t read it as a standalone, you’ll need the background from the first book. If you’ve read it and don’t remember everything, the author provided […]
