Why Did I Read? I loved Vengeance Road so much and love westerns in general so you can imagine how excited I was to hear about a companion novel coming out! My Thoughts: Retribution Rails is set about 10 years after the events of Vengeance Road following new characters Reece and Charlotte. I did feel like this one started off a bit slow and it took me longer than I expected to get into it (maybe this is just because I went […]

My Thoughts: This was my first introduction to this author and I definitely want to read the rest of her backlist! This historical fiction had dual timelines alternating between the early 1900s and 1960s and it was so riveting! We follow Vivian Schuyler as she strives to earn a place as a journalist for the Metropolitan magazine and she receives a mysterious briefcase in the mail. It turns out it belonged to her aunt, Violet Grant, and the flashbacks revolve […]

My Thoughts: Wrapping up my audiobook binge of the Queen’s Thief series so far! For some of my other thoughts of the previous books, check them out here! Steve West once again blows things away with his narration — I honestly don’t think I’d have enjoyed these books nearly as much without his narration! It definitely added depth and emotion to the story for me. I enjoyed Thick as Thieves slightly more than some of the previous books, but still not […]
