The Mirror by Nora Roberts | Book Review
After finishing The Mirror, the second book in Nora Roberts’ Lost Bride Trilogy, I found it to be an engaging read overall, though not quite as captivating as The Inheritance.

The Aftermath by Paul Gitsham | Book Review
This book had me hooked from the first page but I honestly thought I had things figured out pretty quickly. I was worried that I was going to spend the rest of the book being bored because I knew what was going to happen. I hate when that happens in any book. What I discovered…
