Apple Of My Eye by Claire Allan Review

Hi Foreverbookers,  I’ve just finished “Apple Of My Eye” by Claire Allan and I absolutely LOVED it! It’s a psychological/domestic thriller, which really isn’t my normal genre but I found “Apple Of My Eye” addictive. It's also a standalone, which I don't normally enjoy either but this was tense and kept me hooked.   5 Stars!!!!! I was granted "Apple Of My Eye" from NetGalley so it's thanks to them that I was able to read it! READATHONS POPSUGAR 2019 Reading Challenge - A book that’s published in 2019 - Apple Of My Eye was published 24th January 2019.  Reading Rivalry - Book with the title written in Green, Purple or Gold - The title of the book is written in a bright green colour.  Litwits - About family - although, it’s quite a disfuctional family, family still is at the centre of “Apple Of My Eye.” Fiction Feud Society for the game of Clue - I read this for LOUNGE - A book published in the year 2000 or later.  Literary Lov

Song of Blood and Stone (Earthsinger Chronicles Book 1) by L. Penelope Review

Hi ForeverBookers,  How are you doing today? I hope you’re well :). I’ve just finished  “Song of Blood and Stone, ”  a fantasy book that i enjoyed. I didn’t absolutely love it but it wasn’t a bad read either! “Song of Blood and Stone”  is an ARC that I’ve had for AGES! I’m trying to get through as many ARCs as I can this month...see below! ! 3 Stars ! I read Song of Blood and Stone for several readathons again. These being:  * Popsugar 2019 Challenge - A book about someone with a superpower  -   The song aspect in the title gives some of the characters healing abilities - The Earthsong is the superpower in this world.  * Reading Rivalry - “a book involving the arts”  - although we never hear a “song” being sung, it’s what the magic element is called in  “ Song of Blood and Stone ,”  so it counts, right? * Litwits - Involves music -  again we never “hear” a song being sung but it counts! Fiction Feud Society - game of CLUE - Revolver (Sci-fi/fantasy)

The Sapphire Widow by Dinah Jeffries Review

Hey ForeverBookers,  I’ve just finished perhaps my favourite standalone novel EVER!!! I don’t love standalone novels because I often think they’re over too quickly but this one, although it did still leave me wanting more, it had a great and packed story. I often think that standalones are a waste of time because I’m only just getting invested when I’ve finished. However, that wasn’t the case with  “The Sapphire Widow.” by Dinah Jeffries. It’s also published as  “The Tea Planter’s Secret” by the same author and is sooooooo good!!!! It’s an adult historical fiction set in 1935. While the novel did go FAR beyond my expectations there were still a couple of things that I would have liked added to the plot.  5 STARS!!! I read “The Sapphire Widow” for many readathons again... * Reading Rivalry - Book featuring a taboo subject - Betrayal and lying. * Reading Rivalry - A book set in the 1930’s (the timeframe of Wicked, the musical of my group). The Sapphire Widow is set in

It's All About The Duke (Book 3 of Rakes Of St James) by Amelia Grey Review

Hi ForeverBookers,  How are you all? I hope you’re good! I’ve just finished “It’s All About The Duke” by Amelia Grey, a regency romance, and I really enjoyed it! Thanks to NetGalley for giving me the chance to read it! Sorry it’s taken me sooooo long to do it. March is my mARCh month so I’m trying to get through as many of the old ARCS that I have. Wish me luck!   4.5 Stars! “It’s All About The Duke” is about a young girl, Marlena, who is at the age where girls go to dances and become engaged to be married. Marlena, however feels she has responsibilities to her friends and loved ones and so isn’t at all worried about settling down or falling in love.

When she meets Rath, the Duke of Rathburne, her new guardian as her old one is ill however, what will she think? She especially wants to keep her secret hidden from the Duke! I read “It’s All About The Duke” for a few readathons
