Maestra is an erotic thriller featuring a femme fatale who gives no apologies for her murderous ways. She wants what she wants and she takes it. I saw this book everywhere, as it was being heavily marketed and promoted by the publisher. So I decided to give the audiobook a ...

Book Review: Note: I read this book and then reread it by listening to it on audio. My audiobook comments are at the end. It is not often that a book as special as this one comes around. Ruta Sepetys's prose shines in this haunting fictional account of the most tragic ...

Love in Lowercase is a cute novel about how small inconsequential things can have a big effect in our lives. In Samuel's case, it was a stray cat changed his whole life. Admittedly this book, while short, was one that didn't hold my interest and the love story felt ...
