**Thank you to Penguin and Netgalley for providing this in exchange for an honest review**I liked this, but didn't love it. This was a much lighter read then I expected. I think the problem was the author tried to fit too much in this book. I like books with large cast. And yes, I do want to know ab...
Netgalley: We have a house. It’s a magical house. It is a house that only appears to those who need it. Three characters. Some lovers. Some family members. Can this be my review? Derivative and contrived, this novel was congealed, uninventive replication of other literature. The themes were n...
The blurb for The House at the End of Hope Street promised a whimsical, magical, delightful tale featuring literary and historical heroines and inspiring female characters. While the outline of those things are there, and it is lovely in parts, on the whole I felt it failed to deliver on its potenti...
Alba Ashby, after suffering a humiliating defeat, arrives unexpectedly at the house at the end of Hope Street and finds a way to heal. I don't think I'm giving too much away. You knew this, didn't you? It is why you sought out this book, I think. You certainly wouldn't read this book if you discover...

As I read the first chapter or so, I thought it might be too new age/psychic/fantasy/ghost story for me. There were also indications that made me think it was going to be completely predictable. ...
My rating: 2 of 5 starsA copy of The House at the End of Hope Street was provided to me by Pamela Dorman Books for review purposes."If you stay I can promise you this. This house may not give you what you want, but it will give you what you need. And the even that brought you here, the thing you thi...
Adeus, Maya do primeiro livro. Olá, May do segundo livro. A cada livro que passa o nome da protagonista tem menos uma letra, pormenor interessante. Nesta sequela, Menna Van Praag volta a relatar-nos as aventuras e epifanias de Maya/ May. Após o primeiro livro ter acabado de uma forma que inspirava u...
Maya, quando entrou para faculdade, tinha a vida que sempre quis. Sonhava tornar-se uma escritora famosa e tinha toda a inspiração do mundo. O seu quarto estava submerso em papéis que Maya transformava em belas histórias que provinham da sua imaginação e esta sabia que não podia ser mais feliz do qu...
