I'm always suspicious of the so-called popular books that "everyone is reading and loving". It's really nothing but beach trash, or should I say marsh trash. The writing is not good - holes all over the place in the plot of the murder. I think the author even confused herself trying to figure out...

I know, this is a much beloved book and it got heaps of accolades, but unfortunately, this book wasn´t one for me. It is beautifully written and the descriptions of the march really makes the landscape come alive. The atmosphere in this book is stunning. But atmospheric writing alone just isn´t en...

OMG! This was amazing. At the start I did not think I would even finish this book, let alone enjoy it, but it picked up very quickly. This story was haunting and heart-wrenching and sad and beautiful. Poor Kya lived such a horrible and yet full life. Everyone in her life walks out on her or abuses...

This book has received a lot of hype, so my book group decided to read it and decide for ourselves. It was certainly beautifully written and the narration by Cassandra Campbell was excellent, but I found the first part of the book a bit slow going. I'm also not much of a fan of court cases in my rea...

Reading blackout before the end of the first bingo month and two more completed bingos in week 4 for a total of three bingos so far -- if anybody had told me this going in, I'd have questioned their sanity. Not least because I had a major project to complete this month, which I knew was going to in...

Seriously I got nothing to say that probably has not been said by thousands of people before me who finished this fantastic book. Owens hit on something here that I think a lot of readers long for. A very developed character and plot with some mystery elements in it with a totally blindsided ending ...

An intriguing story, but the writing/storytelling isn't really up to par. While the nature descriptions are good, the dialogue can be stilted in places and the romance feels cliched. If the writing was water in a marsh, it would be too shallow to contain all the life in it. And it does contain a lot...

I loved this novel! Give me an author that can write and some individuals living off the grid and I am happier than a fox in a henhouse. I’m glad that I didn’t read many detailed reviews on this novel and although I hesitated to buy the novel, I’m glad that I forked over the money because I am defin...
