The second installment in the Resistance series, Equality brings back our favorite French couple, Sabine and Hérisson. Still double POV, and once again both characters have powerful voices. This time I prefer Hérisson’s arc because his character growth is even more pronounced than it was in Liberty. Sabine, though! Sabine reads as the core of the story, and I love her ability to face every issue with bravery. Her spirit is the real backbone of this book.

I had high, high hopes for this book. The blurb was intriguing, the cover promising, and the first chapters were so captivating I was looking forward to seeing how things would pan out. Then, something happened and left me with more questions than answers.
#Book Tour #Book Review – Unravelling; H. Forbes
Unravelling is both the title of this book and an accurate description of the feeling that permeates the pages. Forbes doesn’t pull any punches: her novel is captivating, able to hold the reader’s attention and take them on a dizzying journey. Yay!

#Book Tour #Book Review – Love the Way They Lie; L. Smolkin
Without giving away plot points, I’m impressed with the courage Maggie—and, of course, Smolkin—shows. That’s just what I hoped to find in a book featuring a plot like this; a different outcome would have cheapened it all, and I’m glad Smolkin didn’t take the easy, more mainstream way out.
#Book Review #ARC – The Helsingør Sewing Club; E. Gyland
Technically, The Helsingør Sewing Club is almost perfect. No grammar mistakes, no imperfections, good syntax—Gyland’s writing skills are superior to the average. The characters are interesting too, with a captivating mix of sympathetic vs. unsympathetic in both timelines; plus, Inger and Cecile have powerful personalities, and they read as flawless as they can be. My favorite part is the historical one, but that’s just a matter of personal tastes.
#Book Tour #Book Review #ARC – A Very Modern Marriage; R. Brimble
A Very Modern Marriage is the third installment of The Ladies of Carson Street series, but it reads as a standalone–with a plus! Brimble is skilled enough to avoid infodumps at the beginning, giving us selected info if and when we need them. A breath of fresh air, that is.
#Book Tour #Book Review – Lord Seeks Wife; H. Barnett
Lord Seeks Wife offers the reader what it says on the tin: Lord Noblet is looking for a wife, and he approaches the issue in an unconventional way. Dating women is obsolete and time-consuming; auditioning them is more efficient.
