Violet may have been a villain, but when evil adopted father dies, she has an opportunity to start over, by opening a florist shop in the town next to the castle she used to live in. But a power vacuum is tempting to other villains, and Violet may find it harder to be good than she expected.

I really enjoyed this cozy fantasy about people looking for a second chance.

This is book 4 in the series and the first I have read but I will definitely go back and find the earlier ones. Its a really clever and twisty story. This is a bit of a slow burn to begin with but it keeps you reading. The story is told by multiple characters and jumps times a bit but its easy to follow, and helps the story develop. The ending was really cleverly put together and I enjoyed the various twists along the way. #Netgalley 4*

This is a well-researched, very readable account of the history of the campaigns for female suffrage (voting rights) in the UK. As per the title, it concentrates heavily on the parallel, more militant suffragette movement in the UK & its links to the Pankhurst family in particular.

The author does an excellent job of being balanced towards the subjects - detailing the many good things about the campaigns but also not ignoring areas of weakness,

I absolutely loved The Odds of You! It was a super cute and fast-paced romance that I flew through in one sitting. The chemistry between the main characters was so palpable, and the banter was top-notch. If you're looking for a book that gives you all the warm, fuzzy feelings and a really satisfying HEA (happily ever after), definitely pick this one up! Thank you #NetGalley, #KateDramis, and #MacMillanAudio for allowing me to listen to this ARC.

4/5

I thought this was both a fun retelling of Aztec mythology from the perspective of Xolotl, as well as a good introduction to some of the Aztec gods and mythology for middle grade readers. I really liked the part where Xolo sees himself in the dogs he helped create and sees that his flaws aren't as bad as he thought.

Rottgor has spent centuries of his reanimated life as a Death Knight, but now he's retired and can make the most of his time to fulfill the dreams he had before his undeath. He decides to open a restaurant and to build a new life and new community for himself.

I really liked the concept of this book, but there were so many characters and so many things going on, that I found it difficult to get very invested in the characters.
