Second book in the series, and while I did not really like the first, still thought I‘d give this a try. Unfortunately, this one was no more to my liking than the previous. The language felt stilted and artificial. The characters were like cardboard cutouts. And the plot was confused, made up of two disparate stories that never came together. #NetGalley #BlackstonePublishing

Billed as a “fusion of mystery, crime, and Southern California beach charm,” this could be your next beach read. Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#california-fever

The Hidden Hours | SARA. FOSTER
post image
Pickpick

A chilling thriller of memory loss and secret lies by best-selling author Sara Foster who, with five novels under her belt, is proving to be a modern-day master of psychological suspense. Shrouded in the moody, drippy weather of London in winter, this gripper sucks you into the story faster than green grass through a goose!

Great story from the POV of Temperance, who traveled to Jamestown as a woman who was to become a wife to one of the settlers. So much in this book, but Temperance is writing the truth of the starvation that occurred and almost destroyed the settlement. And amazing story of courage and perseverance, especially for women of that time who didn't have a real voice. Her strength ⤵️

Crazeedi And the sacrifice of her and her friend Lily is heartrending. Highly recommend 4y

Thanks to #BlackstonePublishing and #netgalley for the opportunity to read and review #thequeenofparis
Pub. Date 4/7/2020
This book tells the story of Coco Chanel and her life during the Nazi occupation of Paris. The author uses flashbacks to fill in the details of her early life. Basically the book posits that Coco worked for the Nazis during the war. She lived in the Ritz hotel, where all the high ranking Nazis stayed. ⬇️

Crazeedi Her partner in her Chanel No. 5 perfume stole the recipe for her signature scent and we follow along as Coco fights to keep control of her creation. Everything she does is aimed at saving what rightly belonged to her. A well written book that I highly recommend. 5y
