Why Did I Read? I was SO excited to hear that Rae Carson was coming out with a new fantasy series! I adored her Girl of Fire and Thorns series, so I could not have been more elated! My Thoughts: First off, this book was not what I expected at all. I think I was expecting a fantasy akin to Rae’s previous series but Walk On Earth A Stranger felt primarily historical fiction with just a touch of fantasy. For me, this didn’t pose a problem […]

Everyone wants him to hate his dad […]

Technically, this is a companion to book 1, The Gilded Cuff, and I think I […]
Why Did I Read? I have always been a fan of thrillers! My Thoughts: I’ve always liked reading thrillers. I like the sense of mystery and being on the edge of your seat and unable to put the book down. I pretty much had all of this with The Devil You Know! Granted, I sort of had the killer pegged from the start… but even so, I was still glued to the pages! Despite knowing, the ride to get to the […]
