Review: Attraction is the start of Penny Reid's newest serialized novel, Elements of Chemistry . Here we start the story by meeting Katlyn Parker and Martin Sandeke, where one would prefer to hide in the nearest available closet and the other has gained the reputation of being the most attractive bully on campus. And like always Ms. Reid has managed to pen a story in which two individuals navigate the extremely...

Secret of a Thousand Beauties begins with quite an engaging biting humor on its narrative. It was just too funny! However, this promising tone gradually fell into a kind of pervasive somberness at which point, one may understandably drop the book or continue on for curiosity. I pushed on and was rewarded with such a dramatic and piercing story. It is a coming of age and at the same time almost a saga as it details the span of many years. Set in 1930s China, our heroine, Spring Swallow, embarks on a hastened journey to independence to escape the unfair circumstance brought to her by tradition. Out of chance, her luck turns and yet perhaps only marginally better. We are then introduced to other secondary characters and one of them is the indomitable Aunty Peony whose past held secrets of her own. The heartbreaking journey of Spring Swallow etched in my mind and lingered throughout that I imagined myself reading the book with a bowed head that I could no longer lift from the bu...

A captivating Gothic love story set against a backdrop of intrigue and danger, Mist of Midnight will leave you breathless. Indeed, I was captivated and could not put it down. In the wake of book readings on romantic suspense titled with "midnight", it shed light, apparently, to my fondness for historical Gothic more than anything. The story was riveting, a dash inspirational and a mixture of fluttery and greyness. With the death of her missionary parents and brother in India, Rebecca Ravenshaw returns to England after many years only to discover Headbourne House, their old Hampshire home, is not to be hers. Not only that, someone else took up her identity and tried to claim the inheritance. It is often interesting how to take on an imposter and in this historical suspense, our true Rebecca lives on the shadow of the first 'Rebecca' who mysteriously died and was loved by many before she arrived. Oh, no, it is not exactly a chip off the du Maurier piece. Sandr...

Without much deliberation, I picked this book out of the blue and was surprisingly rewarded with everything that appealed to me, temperamental ghost notwithstanding; 1920s, the English coast, an admirable heroine, an old haunted cottage, a dash of history and romance. Simone St. James's  An Inquiry into Love and Death  hits right with its gripping mystery and has become one of my favorites. Set in 1920s England, Jillian Leigh drives to the seaside town of Rothewell to pack the belongings of her uncle, a ghost hunter, who died by the cliffs. Upon her arrival, unsettling incidents started happening which she was convinced must be related to the ghost her uncle is after, an angry spirit who haunts Blood Moon Bay where no locals go at night. More puzzling still is the appearance of a Scotland Yard inspector whose interest in her uncle's death raised questions of whether the incident was really accidental or was it really not. It's my first time reading St. James and I...
