4.5 stars"The world was full of mystery and magic and horror and love." And so is this book. I'm fairly new to the Gothic Horror genre, but I absolutely love it! Or maybe I'm just lucky to have come across this book . This novel is so beautifully written. Sometimes when books are filled with des...

When all the family starts showing up with their secrets and airing of dirty laundry, things start to go downhill. Finally, the ...
All that hype, and this is what I got. I like it, but I also got bored and annoyed at multiple parts. Especially when Violet keeps describing River's "panther hips".Read this review and more at http://www.thereadingobsession.blogspot.comThis book was like Alisa Bait. Pretty cover? Check.

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea was one of my mostly highly anticipated titles this year. I screamed like the fangirl that I am when an ARC arrived on my doorstep.

Money's tight, so Violet has tacked up signs in town offering their guesthouse for rent. Ent...
4.5I enjoyed the writing style. Tucholke's sense of story-telling is genius. It's a slow, but beautiful relationship that you build with this book. The characters are solid, built on strong foundations that make you want to know them for real. The theme of the story is one filled with lore and cultu...
