I've picked this book up a few times in bookstores but never actually brought myself to buy it. While I love my paranormal in fictions, mediums just don't sit well with me. On the subject of mediums I'm a complete cynic. But when I renewed my library card the other weekend I saw this book and though...

First book finished for Spring Book Bingo. Not the historical I planned but still a good read. Review to come.

Stilted, mediocre and stuffy writing. I'm a huge fan of historical fiction but this is simply not up to par. I should have known immediately when the book's Kindle text size setting was "Are you nearly blind?" that it was not going to work for me, this is almost always setting for books geared towar...

Wow. This was a powerful book. I think the fact that it’s based on a true story makes they story more chilling. I did take a while to warm up to the story. In fact I almost quit reading. The story starts out right after Anne was hanged. She’s left in nothingness thinking over her life and trying to ...

Well, nice! I picked this book up about a year ago because it was on a great deal and the story looked intriguing, but I didn't have high expectations. It turned out that I actually quite enjoyed it! The dual narrative was really well done, and I was interested in both stories: the corpse telling he...
