This was a really cute MM vampire romance with a great grumpy/sunshine trope.

I enjoyed this story about a german woman immigrant to the US. I was saddened and shocked to find how immigrants were treated in Ellis Island! I have family who came to Ellis island. The fact that this Eugenics program existed is very disturbing to me. I found that I learned a lot from this work of historical fiction. I enjoyed Lena and Ella’s story and that of the people who lived by Blue ridge in Va. It is shocking how they threw them off their land. I recommend this book. Irlt is very informative.

An amazing short story by a great author. Ravi unexpectedly looses his father. His mother falls apart which forces Ravi to enter adulthood all too soon. Ravi with the help of a neighbor and a friend begins to realize that grief is missing a person in many different ways. He develops an understanding of himself and the others around him. A very emotional read which gave me goosebumps. Wish it were longer.

I found this novel truly heartbreaking as Claire in her husband experience so many losses. But Claire is resilient and a devoted mother and grandmother; she carries on with her life and makes a real difference to the children she fosters. The ending is cathartic.

This is the sequel to The Woman in Cabin 10. It starts out with you thinking you made a mistake and are reading the same book again. Then it goes on with some twists and turns but it takes forever to get to those. Very slow and by the time you get to the end, you don't even really care anymore. Disappointing.

"After Happily Ever" by Jennifer Safrey was a combination: "The Real Housewives of ______________" and "Fairy Tale Horror Stories"

.The Business Trip Jessica Garica Two women, meet on a plane, both feeling the need to escape complicated lives. Then the two women go missing. Soon their friends start receiving weird texts. Twist upon twist, all of us (including the reader) are at the hands of a master manipulator. Fun read.

This book was just OK. The first few chapters really drew me in and made me want to read more, but the ending was such a big let down. It moved quickly, but had such a disappointing ending.

I only picked this book because it met the challenge and the description sounded promising. I was wrong. The (biggest) twist was predictable from about the 5th chapter. When I first figured it out I was not sure if the author thought their readers were morons and would not see it, or if it was meant to be the biggest red herring ever (it wasn’t). Even for a mystery/thriller there was excessive and pointless death. If I could provide better advice, it would be to skip the epilogue. It was totally unnecessary and added plot lines at the bitter end that contribute nothing to the overall story, and actively takes away from it simultaneously. That is after seeing that the book was already 100 pages too long.

Very interesting story around a true event about a flying race across the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii.
