Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve loved Greer Macallister‘s previous novels so I had high hopes for this one. It wasn‘t bad but it definitely wasn‘t my favorite. The story is set up as our main character recounting her life with her many husbands and lovers and the many ways she transformed over the years. Told by a psychic that her 13th husband would be the death of her she recounts how she got to 13 and a “shocking” revelation about the 13th. Just ok. 🌟🌟🌟

Some pretty #CrazyLove as you would expect from someone who goes through 13 husbands! Based on the real-life Aimee Crocker, who had a Spanish fortune-teller predict that her 13th would bury her. Yikes! I wouldn't want to know, but it makes for a great story. Macallister never disappoints!

Stories about historical women behaving badly is one of my favorite tropes. This novel of Aimee Crocker did not disappoint. And as good historical fiction should it sent me down the rabbit hole to learn more. Exotic locations, interesting relationships and more kept me interested and entertained. 3.75 🌟

Went to another author event tonight! Saw Greer Macallister and Heather Webb!

It was a smaller event, which honestly I like so much better than the huge events they have!

It was a great night and a great discussion! And now I have 2 books to read.

“Tearing through millions of dollars, four continents, and a hearty collection of husbands, real-life heiress Aimee Crocker blazed an unbelievable trail of public notoriety, private pain, and the kind of strong independent woman the 1880s had never seen.”

Gorgeous cover but a bit monotonous.

The Thirteenth Husband

Another excellent story by an author I am beginning to throughly enjoy.

This book is so different from the last one I read by this author. Though still a historical book. This one is about a woman. A woman named Amy/Aimee. Set back in the late 1800s and when women had very few rights.
