A Surprise Adventure
I added this book to my TBR pile because it was described as an early example of Gothic Horror combined with psychological realism. The description is spot on. I started reading with the expectation of a spooky little Victorian thriller. What I got was over 600 pages of intrigue, madness, and of course, a love story. The Woman in White is a surprising work of fiction that needs to be made into a PBS miniseries, stat. Though the story is centered around the fortunes […]
Lady Bridget & Dreadful Darcy
I read this book as I was waiting for the next book in the Lords of Worth trilogy by Kelly Bowen; unfortunately it pales in comparison to Kelly’s books. This is a mash-up of ‘Pride & Prejudice’ and ‘Bridget Jones Diary’, with a side dash of ‘Mean Girls’.

But his manners, his infamous self-restraint, and his better […]
A Tale of Supernatural Burn Out
This novel, which could be classified as fantasy, folk tale or fairy tale, is, according to one review, based on a Senegalese folk tale and set in Barbados/the Caribbean.

Djombi are undying spirits, capable of taking on different forms — human, insect, animal — influencing events, and changing memories. Redemption in Indigo is the story of a djombi suffering from burn out and a human who must teach him […]

Racing to Romance
This is a dual review, starting with the novella ‘The Sport of Baronets’, the first part of Romancing the Turf series. The series is based on horse racing, and the people who live in that world, specifically the Crosbys and the Chandlers. The two families have been feuding as long as they can remember, for reasons that have largely been forgotten over time. As this novella begins, the Crosby family fortunes have taken a downturn and hopes are pinned on the colt Golden Barb to […]
