Received a copy of this book from Goodreads New Adult Book Club in exchange for an honest review.
Needless to say, I loved both Tensley and Molly.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! If you're looking for a comeback, Body of the Crime is seriously it. R. Scarlett's writing has been engaging and the proof is that I finished reading the second book in less than 24 hours. It was beautiful, eloquent, captivating and I really loved how Molly stepped it up. The factors that I didn't like in Tensley in Vein of Love were also taken care of in Body of the Crime. Their dialogues also showcased huge improvement. Don't take this review to be vague because I'm seriously trying not to give away any spoilers. You need to read it all for yourself. I just had one issue with the action scenes. Call me an unsatisfied reader, but I believe the action scenes could've been better because they ended within the blink of an eye. I didn't feel terrified for Tensley or Molly. Overall, it was a much, much better read than the prequel. I can't wait to get my hands on A Vow of Thorns (Blackest Gold, #3).

Received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Rose Petal Graves starts with a rapt and freshening perspective of Cat, a 19-years-old medical student. Needless to say, I loved Cat. She is no damsel in distress and I've been really looking forward to novels where the female protagonist as a backbone. Cat sure does have one and I was amazed by her strength and right-mindedness. Of course, there were glimpses of her 19-year-old self because, hey, she's got have flaws. Don't we all have them as well?
But, I didn't care about her flaws as much as I admired her strength, courage and the honest perspective of the situations handled to her. Cat is one of those protagonists who knows when to use her brain and what to put her heart in. I don't want to divulge more into Cat because Cruz, Ace, Lily, Kajika and Gwen had equally captured my attention and had unique personalities of their own. What I purely admire about Olivia's writing is the concept of blurring the lines. She is one of those authors who can keep you tangled in your thoughts and in your bed sheets with restlessness because of the uncertainties that we feel as a reader just by imagining what the protagonist must be going through. Apart from the psychological thrillers from Olivia , it was really refreshing to see her divulge my attention into the world of fantasy and paranormal romance. Her writing is flawless and captivating. Thank God this is not another vampire story or I would've burst a vein. The mysteries of Rowan, the Woods and everything in and beyond Rose Petal Graves made my jaw drop on the floor. Every new detail was engaging and made my heart beat faster. I won't be writing this review in detail because I hate to give away spoilers. You need to read the book to find out the mystery yourself. I can't wait to read what the next book would entail, but it surely is going to be mind-blowing. That I can tell. Get your copy of Rose Petal Graves by Olivia Wildenstein. I'm buying mine.
George (through dialogues), Caitlin's husband and his insightful and wholesome character.
The story of Violet and Finn had me turning pages at a slower pace. I didn't want to miss out on tiny details. Jessica Strawser's writing is descriptive, yet captivating. I have come across books where descriptions have bored me to death. Almost Missed You is certainly not one of those books. The long passages of descriptions are perfectly detailed and inquisitive at the same time. The chapter endings were a delight because I kept looking forward to a new reveal. There is a deeper meaning to Almost Missed You and you need to read it yourself to get acquainted with the characters and their minds. This story blurs the lines between womens' fiction and mystery-thrillers of our times. I feel lucky to have received a copy of Almost Missed You by Jessica Strawser's through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Get your copy from Amazon.com
Her Husband's Lover is a real page-turner, with sharp and crisp writing by Julia Crouch. The pacing of the novel is perfect and there was not a dull moment. Every chapter had a new discovery and the characters were mind-blogging. The rivalry between two wronged women Lou/Louisa and Soph/Sophie was so strong that I couldn't guess what was happening and who should I believe in. Every characters detail was so well thought-out that I must say Her Husband's Lover is a sure-shot masterpiece. It's clever, engaging and surprisingly refreshing because I would've snoozed if at all this would have been some idiotic novel based on Gone Girl. Yes, you would be shocked to know there are tons of books out there that lack creativity and the panache to be even listed under psychological thrillers. I don't want to divulge into details because that would be giving away an innocent spoiler. But let me tell you, if you're out looking for crazy - I mean really crazy - female characters, you have to read this one. YOU MUST!!!! Her Husband's Lover is one of those books that you'll be thinking on about on for days to come. I know I will reading it again just for kicks. Don't waste time! Get your copy from Amazon.com. |
