An Enchanting Case of Spirits Melissa Holtz 352 pages Berkley Publishing published April 9, 2024 Amazon | Goodreads Thanks @berkleypub and @prhaudio for my #gifted book and audiobook. #berkleypartner #berkley #prhaudioinfluencer First I love that the main character is 40. It gets old reading about a twenty-something fretting about how old she is. So kudos for that. I have a love hate relationship with paranormal, but I’ll say this one is a fun read. More mystery and paranormal than romance, but there are a lot of things to like. I love Nick, Alyssa ..read more

A Home for Friendless Women  Kelly E. Hill March 19,2024 274 pages   When I started to read “A Home for Friendless Women” I thought it will be a light read with a bit of secrets/mysteries… I was wrong. This book is not a light read, it takes place in a home in Louisville back in the 1870’s. The home is a place for females who have “sinned/fallen”in virtue  and now they must learn to repent and the home will help rehabilitate them. The book is divided into three sections where each section focuses on a girl and her time at this particular house. While reading, I couldn’t help bu ..read more

Pharmythology Zahraa Alalag 84 pages Loudhailer Books Published Sept 10,  2023 Amazon | GoodReads Pharmythology is a handy short book written by a practising US-based clinical pharmacist, about important aspects of modern medicines. I was offered a copy to review by the publisher, and since I’m a primary care physician working in pharmaceutical research, feel well qualified to evaluate it, even though it’s designed for lay-people. The author addresses common myths and misunderstandings about various medications, the science behind personalised medicine – ie how variations in our genetic ..read more

The Life-Changing Magic of Falling in Love Eve Devon HarperCollins UK | One More Chapter Publication Date: May 24th, 2024 419 Pages Goodreads | Amazon Genres: Romance | Women’s Fiction I really wanted to like this book and I honestly tried but it was so slow going and oh so repetitive. The same thing happens over and over again…she cleans, he tries at work, her mother bugs her about a date for a wedding, his girlfriend ignores him, she goes out for coffee and cake, he has a panic attack. This was on repeat until the halfway mark and by that time I was sick of these two. I am not into lov ..read more

Her reluctance to kill the polar bears they share the land with has gotten her into more trouble than she could have imagined. Being held responsible for something so horrible at such a young age has shaped her entire world with a sense of tolerance rather than acceptance. A betrayal from her best friend and brother, on top of the ..read more

The Mystery Writer Sulari Gentill Poisoned Pen Press 400 pages Published March 19th, 2024 This is a contemporary mystery set in the small town of Lawrence, Kansas, by the author of bestseller The Woman in the Library. I had really enjoyed that one, so was looking forward to another clever story about the publishing world. Unfortunately instead I got a convoluted mess of a plot about an irritating heroine and a frankly ridiculous conspiracy, that took me ten days to finish because the middle part was so boring. Theo Benton has abandoned her law degree and fled Australia to visit her older bro ..read more
