Review: Murder at the Royal Ruby - #Obsession Collection - Nita Prose - July 2023 Work has been an absolute whirlwind this past week ,the kind of busy that has me staying later than I'd like and trudging through the door with barely enough energy to string a sentence together. As much as I hate to admit it, my reading had been waning a few evenings in a row, and for a bookworm, there really is no worse feeling. So, in true book lover fashion, I did what any of us would do, I scratched that reading itch with a short, satisfying quick read that had been quietly waiting for me on my Kindle. Sometimes a book just knows when it's time to be picked up! Now, most of you will know Nita Prose from her beloved series featuring Molly the Maid, but this little gem takes us somewhere entirely different behind the velvet curtains and into the dazzling, cutthroat world of theatre. We are introduced to a young, passionate wannabe actress who has been paying her dues, grinding away and waitin...

Review: Skin and Bone - T.L Keary - November 2019 I'll be honest with you this week nearly broke me. Work absolutely swallowed me whole, and by the time I dragged myself to the sofa each evening, I had barely enough energy to reach for my book, let alone make any real progress. Three books for the week. That's all I managed. Three. A number that would usually have me feeling quietly shameful, but honestly? One of those three was Skin and Bone by TL Keary, and that alone made the whole exhausting week feel worthwhile. I need to talk about this book. Skin and Bone is the kind of psychological thriller that grabs you by the collar from the very first page and simply refuses to let go. The premise alone is deliciously chilling: a woman so desperate for a man's love that she doesn't just change herself for him , she becomes the woman he's pining for. Completely. Obsessively. Down to the clothes, the laugh, the face. The dual narrative between the imposter and the real...
