This series was my gateway drug to historical romance!! So many of my book friends love historical romance and Lisa Kleypas and it took me forever to get around to reading her. Then I picked up her Wallflowers series and binged all five books in a week. I JUST LOVED. The series is set in the 1800s in England and features a group of four girls who are “wallflowers”. For one reason or another, they are having issues capturing a respectable […]

Review: The Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker

Why Did I Read? The witches and historical fiction premise sounded so interesting! My Thoughts: When I first heard about this book, I was so excited for it because I had this phase back when I was younger where I just loved historical fiction. I also was highly interested in the Salem witch trials (I loved the play The Crucible and the book The Witch of Blackbird Pond— the latter I read when I was really young and probably started my whole phase!)
