DNF at 23% Okay... currently there's a vast number of things bad to one's health. Drinking, smoking, too much sugar, too much fat... ridiculous plots and characters! o_O In a time in which there are rumours of authors planning to sue reviewers for negative reviews (freedom of speech, anyone? And...

It took me a long time to decide on a rating for this book. I wanted to give it a 5 and a 4 and a 3, which made choosing the closest ‘half’ star a whole lot harder. My friends who read this book absolutely loved it and while I had a great time reading it, it just didn’t enchant me. I think tha...

Overall I really enjoyed reading this one. I loved the writing, or the authors voice. To me it had a bit of a gothic feel to it, the hero also felt gothic. In a way that he was a bit grumpier and darker. But very gentle with the heroine, even if he didn't initially put a lot of thought to how it wou...

"Through the Smoke" is the very first book by Brenda Novak I've ever read and I am quite certain this will not be my last read from her. This wonderful story struck me well in so many ways for its dark tone, Gothic texture, romantic relationship between the two leads, and overarching mystery/suspen...

Sometimes, I feel like I expect too much out of books. Like this one, it had everything I could have possibly liked but the execution of the story as a whole wasn't really to my liking. I was expecting a Gothic romantic storyline but somewhere along the way all I got was a whole lot of fretting and ...

Ohhh... this is going to be good I can tell! Oh my word! I don’t think I have enough words to say how much I LOVE THIS BOOK! This book was absolutely, positively ah-mazin! The heat level was low, but the story more than made up for it. This book is now number 1 in my top 5 historical romance fa...

Jericho fucking Barrons, man. That was literally what popped into my mind within the first few chapters of this book. And thank god for Jericho fucking Barrons, (and this is the most reluctant admittance I will ever make) because thanks to him, I came to appreciate Truman a lot more than I otherwis...

Let me start off by saying that I must now acquire a physical copy of this book. I must have one for my bookshelf. I must! I happened upon this book while browsing Amazon. All of a sudden I got this alert at the top of my page stating that this book called Through The Smoke may be something I’d be...
