Book Review: The Tapestry of Time by Kate Heartfield
This book was a new venture for me. I read a lot of historical fiction, but I’ve never read one with a paranormal edge to it. I was intrigued because clairvoyance sounded like it would add an interesting element to a World War II story…

Book Review: Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett
I must say, I’m impressed with myself for starting and finishing this series without a major gap in between the books. I read Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries this past November and I finished Compendium in March…

This series has caught my eye for a while, especially when the movie came out. I’ve been hesitant to pick it up because I’m not typically one for the horror genre. I joined a buddy read which gave me the push I needed to read it…
