HM Book Review: Bloodprint by Kitty Sewell

The third book I have read for the year and again, a winner. In the beginning I was doubtful that I would really get into the book, but after the first few chapters, I was hooked. The bond between mother and child across generations, not withstanding the trials of time, distance and seperation. The family traditions you try to run from, but to which you inevitably turn to in times of need. I too could use a charm or two...

HM Book Review: Grave Sight by Charlaine Harris


I quiet enjoyed this book after the previous one as it was a rather light read for me. The story was interesting enough and well written. The fact that someone could sense the dead kept you turning the page to see what's next. I have a couple more books from this author and I look forward to those too.

HM Book Review: The Expats by Chris Pavone

This is the first book I read in 2015, and boy, was it good. The Expats by Chris Pavone was a delight to read at so many levels. The story line was fantastic. I loved the mystery, the double life, the juggle between the female characters' various roles as wife, mother, friend and career woman. I especially could relate when she questioned the domesticity of her role as homemaker. Last but not least, the description of the characters travels around Europe as a family was simply amazing, that I was left with a great desire to want to visit these places someday. I must reread this book someday.
