Make Up Reading

 5 out of 5 stars Thank you to Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for allowing me to read this great novel.  I really, really loved this book. This had everything I love in a story. There is mythology, romance, friendship and love.  Tirne has the great honor of escorting the God of Autumn to for his three month stay until Winter makes her entrance. As they walk through the mirror it breaks which begins the long Autumn. Tirne herself is suspected of causing the break. I don't want to go too deep into what happens but let me just say that this is great. The world building  is fantastic. 

 5 out of 5 stars As soon as I finished book in the series (Beneath Her Skin) I jumped right into this the very same night because I couldn't wait to read more! Another great story set in Port Gamble. I found myself liking this story just as much if not a little bit more than the last book. I have enjoyed finding out more about the twins and their powers. I really do enjoy all the characters different points of view. This mystery was just as good and there was actually a pretty big surprise when it comes to a certain character. I did figure out who the murderer was but the fun was in the story and seeing how these character's minds work. Another fantastic narration by Karen Peakes. 

 5 out of 5 stars Thank you to Netgalley and Bookoutre  for allowing me to listen to this in exchange for an honest review. I have been kind of hit or miss with Greg Olsen but the premise for this sounded very intriguing and the cover was fantastic so I really wanted to read this and let me say I am not disappointed and in fact enjoyed this so much! I found the residents of Port Gamble to be interesting and this kind of has a cozy vibe for me.  I also really enjoyed the paranormal aspect. Twin sisters Hayley and Taylor Ryan can communicate with the dead. The blurb says that they can hear the dead but to me it is different, they seem to get flashes of things. The narrator Karen Peakes was really great, she did a fantastic job of sounding like a teen girl one moment and an adult another. 

 4 out of 5 stars This book had it all ntrigue, mystery, murder all wrapped up in an eloquently well written novel. From the very first line  “He knew he was dying.” I was in.  The clues were so intriguing  and the mystery was riveting. Juge d’Instruction Matthieu Lombard is an amazing character and I can't wait for the next novel in this new series. Pick it up, you will not be disappointed.

 5 out of 5 stars This is one of my favorite classics and reading this version was an absolute joy. This was my first foray into Manga classics and I want to read more. This was such a lovely read and the artwork was just so beautiful. Each turn of the page I found myself more enraptured. 

 4 1/2 out of 5 stars This was one of the most interesting Lisa Jewell books that I have read in a while. I really loved the podcast element and the "Single White Female" vibe from this. The idea of birthday twins was fun because I know we have all met a birthday twin and one point in our lives. The novel goes back and forth between Josie and Alix's narratives which reads incredibly unique for each woman. I will say that this felt like Jewell was leaving things slightly open for a sequel...

 4 1/2 out of 5 stars Sam and Alexis have been looking for a house that will be perfect for their growing family as Alexis is pregnant with their second child. When they come across a fixer upper in a very exclusive neighborhood it seems too good to be true and of course it is. Shortly after the couple show up one of their neighbours turns up dead. As Alexis begins to try and find out what happens she uncovers many secrets upon the people in the neighborhood. There is also the issue that Sam is acting very strange. A good mystery that will hold your attention. I suggest you read it!
