A darkly funny domestic horror novel about a woman who must take drastic measures to save her husband and herself from the vengeful ghost of her mother-in-law.

When Ralph and Abby Lamb move in with Ralph’s mother, Laura, Abby hopes it’s just what she and her mother-in-law need to finally connect. After a traumatic childhood, Abby is desperate for a mother figure, especially now that she and Ralph are trying to become parents themselves. Abby just has so much love to give—to Ralph, to Laura, and to Mrs. Bondy, her favorite resident at the long-term care home where she works. But Laura isn’t interested in bonding with her daughter-in-law. She’s venomous and cruel, especially to Abby, and life with her is hellish.

When Laura takes her own life, her ghost haunts Abby and Ralph in very different ways: Ralph is plunged into depression, and Abby is terrorized by a force intent on destroying everything she loves. To make matters worse, Mrs. Bondy’s daughter is threatening to move Mrs. Bondy from the home, leaving Abby totally alone. With everything on the line, Abby comes up with a chilling plan that will allow her to keep Mrs. Bondy, rescue Ralph from his tortured mind, and break Laura’s hold on the family for good. All it requires is a little ingenuity, a lot of determination, and a unique recipe for chicken à la king…

This book is one of the creepiest and weirdest books I have ever read.

Abby is yearning for a mother figure, having had a traumatic childhood. She marries Ralph and moves into Ralph’s childhood home where Ralph’s mother Laura is a domineering figure. Laura meanwhile is cruel and venomous, often finding faults with Abby. When Laura takes her own life, Abby steals the heirloom ring which apparently Laura never took off. Abby realizes that she made a biggest mistake when Laura’s ghost start domineering back to life. Ralph plunges into depression, and Abby feels like her whole world is turned upside down.

I did like the book but I wasn’t exactly sure if I loved the book. The writing was however great and entertaining read. Sometimes, some parts of the book were boring but then I actually did like the main character Abby, however the disturbing her character might be. Also I am not sure why it was labeled as a horror book because I didn’t find anything horror in the book. However, the ending of the book was slightly disturbing to read.

Overall, to me, this was an OK book, worth three stars.

Ainslie Hogarth is the author of four novels. You can find her short fiction in Hazlitt, Maisonneuve, Room Magazine, Black Static, and more.

A sparkling adversaries-to-lovers romcom set at a magazine publisher in Manhattan. When Casey and Alex are forced into proximity, they soon realize falling for each other is just as much of a risk and as it is a reward.

Casey Maitland has always preferred the reliability of numbers, despite growing up the daughter of two artistic souls. Now a twenty-four-year-old finance expert working in Manhattan, Casey wonders if the project manager opening at her company – magazine powerhouse LC Publications – is a sign from the universe to pursue a career with a little more sparkle. That is, until she’s passed over for the job in favor of the board chairman’s son.

Alex Harrison is handsome, Harvard-educated, and enigmatic. Everybody loves him – except for Casey. But when the two are thrown on the same project, they both have something to prove. For Casey, it’s getting tapped for a transfer to the London office and fulfilling her dreams of travelling. For Alex, it’s successfully launching a brand that will impress his distant father.

As work meetings turn into after hours, Casey and Alex are drawn to each other again and again, but neither can avoid the messy secrets and corporate intrigue threatening to tear them apart. What they discover about their workplace might change everything – including the dreams each of them is chasing.

Love interest is a Workplace Romance set in Manhattan New York–Casey Maitland and Alex Harrison work in the same publishing company. Casey is eying for a promotion but at the same time, she wanted to get transferred to the London office, where her mother was originally from. But when the promotion went to Alex Harrison, the handsome and charming Harvard graduate, Casey was devastated and was determined to hate him. However, as they were both asked to work together for a segment, Casey realizes that Alex wasn’t really the type of person she imagined him to be and soon start to fall in love with him.

If you like complete romcoms shows, then Love Interest is such thing. This is not enemies to lovers story, and I like how the story turned out to be. Both Alex and Casey acted more like realistic adults and most of all the secondary characters in the book were all likable. There were some twists and turns, particularly relating to their workplace and the sizzling chemistry between Alex and Casey. Although the first part of the book was slightly boring, it became interesting as the story progressed. I also like the multi-cultural perspective of the story–the fact that Alex, one of the main characters in the story is biracial–Korean-American and that diversity is present in the book was actually a plus sign to me.

This was a typical romance book with a predictable happy ending but overall, I enjoyed this book and couldn’t wait to read more from this author–worth four stars.

The Restaurant of Lost Recipes – ARC Book Review

Title:- The Restaurant of Lost Recipes

Genre:- Japanese fiction

Rating:-

Plot:- 4/5

Writing:- 4/5

Overall rating:- 4/5

The Restaurant of Lost Recipes is the second book in the bestselling, mouth-watering Kamogawa Food Detectives series, for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold.

We all hold lost recipes in our hearts. A very special restaurant in Kyoto helps recreate them…

Chef Nagare and his daughter Koishi serve their customers more than delicious food at their Kamogawa Diner down a quiet street in Kyoto. They can help recreate meals from their customers’ most treasured memories. Through ingenious investigations, these “food detectives” untangle flavors and pore through old shopping lists to remake unique dishes from the past.

From the swimmer who misses his father’s lunchbox to the model who longs for fried rice from her childhood, each customer leaves the diner forever changed—though not always in the ways they expect…

A beloved bestseller in Japan, The Restaurant of Lost Recipes is a tender and healing novel that celebrates the power of community and delicious food.

This is the second book of the Kamogawa Food Detective series. I enjoyed reading the first book of the series and it was a privilege to get an invitation for the second book as well.

Cheif Nagare and his daughter Koishi runs the restaurant but their restaurant is just more than a restaurant that serves food. They specifically makes a meal and recreate that meal through their customer’s memories about the meal thus recounting the story about the meal. The customers involve a swimmer with hopes of becoming an Olympic swimmer to the famous supermodel who yearns for a fried rice that she loved during her childhood.

This book is no different from the first book–in fact it is exactly like the first book except maybe this time, the customers are different. The outline and the story overall are still the same as the previous one, so there are no special changes that you can see in this second book. There were often times when I thought that some parts of the story were repetitive but nonetheless just like the previous book, I enjoyed reading this book. Having lived in Japan and spending part of my childhood there, some of the Japanese food mentioned in the book made me think about my own experiences as a kid back in Japan and how I enjoyed eating those Japanese dishes. The description of those food and meals made my mouth water and I really wanted to try those dishes!

Overall, this was no different from the first book, yet it was enjoyable to read. Worth four stars in my opinion.

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.

Hisashi Kashiwai was born in 1952 and was raised in Kyoto. He graduated from Osaka Dental University. After graduating, he returned to Kyoto and worked as a dentist. He has written extensively about his native city and has collaborated in TV programs and magazines.

Soledad Barnes has her life all planned out. Because, of course, she does. She plans everything. She designs everything. She fixes everything. She’s a domestic goddess who’s never met a party she couldn’t host or a charge she couldn’t lead. The one with all the answers and the perfect vinaigrette for that summer salad. But none of her varied talents can save her when catastrophe strikes, and the life she built with the man who was supposed to be her forever, goes poof in a cloud of betrayal and disillusion.

But there is no time to pout or sulk, or even grieve the life she lost. She’s too busy keeping a roof over her daughters’ heads and food on the table. And in the process of saving them all, Soledad rediscovers herself. From the ashes of a life burned to the ground, something bold and new can rise.

But then an unlikely man enters the picture—the forbidden one, the one she shouldn’t want but can’t seem to resist. She’s lost it all before and refuses to repeat her mistakes. Can she trust him? Can she trust herself?

After all she’s lost . . .and found . . .can she be brave enough to make room for what could be?

This is the second book of the Skyland series. This book revolves around the life of Soledad Barnes, who is one of the friends of the trio Yasmen and Hendrix. The first book, Before I Let You Go, which was based on Yasmen was so good that I wanted to keep reading the series. And I feel this book is so much better than the first one.

Soledad has it all–her life has been planned out for her and she is perfect in many ways. But then a catastrophe strikes in her life, causing all her well planned life to crumble down. Her husband, Edward was accused embezzling money from the company he was working. As Soledad is dealing with the crisis, she meets the accountant, Judah Cross, who is actually responsible for Edward’s fall. Soledad needs to rebuild her life and at the same time, she couldn’t stop her feelings towards Judah Cross.

This book is packed with emotions, heartbreaks as well as friendship, support, laughter and kindness. The story is told in the POVs of Judah and Soledad and I actually did like the chemistry between the two. Judah was divorced with two autistic sons and Soledad is dealing crisis in her marriage. The whole book was well written, engaged and really inspiring–”focus on your girls. focus on yourself, but when you do think about this relationship, don’t compare it to anything else, to anyone else. Draw a picture in your mind of what a future could look like and really believe this could be us. And whenever you’re ready, I’m right here.”— I thought this quote was really inspiring to people who are struggling with their own lives. The author manages to show that women are powerful and courageous.

I also like the characters–Judah Cross is one of my favorite characters. He is supportive, protective, a contrast to Soledad’s ex-husband Edward who is nothing but a scumbag. Women can really wish for a future husband like Judah Cross.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read Hendrik’s chapter next! Worth five stars.

The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels – Book Review

Title:- The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels

Plot:- 4/5

Overall rating:- 4/5

Everyone knows the story of the Alperton Angels: the cult who brainwashed a teenage girl into believing her baby was the anti-Christ. When the girl came to her senses and called the police, the Angels committed suicide and mother and baby disappeared.

Now, true crime author Amanda Bailey is looking to revive her career by writing a book on the case. The Alperton baby has turned eighteen; finding them will be the scoop of the year. But rival author Oliver Menzies is just as smart, better connected, and also on the baby’s trail.

As Amanda and Oliver are forced to collaborate, they realize that the truth about the Angels is much darker and stranger than they’d ever imagined, and in pursuit of the story they risk becoming part of it.

I actually loved this book.

This story is about a true crime author Amanda Bailey who is writing a book about a mysterious cult group named Alperton Angels where it involves a murder of four people, including three cult members and the missing baby. As Amanda dwells deeper into the research, she is forced to work with her nemesis, Oliver Menzies. The two reluctantly work together to solve the mystery of the Alperton Angels.

This book is written in the usual and unique way which I actually loved reading. Unlike the usual passage format, the entire book is written in the form of text messages, Whatsapp messages, dialogue, script and email messages, which to me was intriguing and interesting to read. This is the first time I came across a book where the whole entire book is written in that way and I actually enjoyed it so much. From the start to finish, this book has so much drama going on, as well as twists and turns along the way–the interviews were interesting and at times a bit funny, and I felt like I was watching a movie and not reading a book. The ending was unexpected, which I actually liked. Literally, I never knew how the ending was going to be turned out and I devoured the whole book.

With clever and engaging narrative, intriguing plot and outline, this book was a satisfying read to me and would recommend to anyone who hasn’t read the book yet–worth four stars.

How long have you been sitting out here?’
‘I got here yesterday.’
‘Where did you come from?’
‘I have no idea.’

East Yorkshire: Single mum Alice Lake finds a man on the beach outside her house. He has no name, no jacket, no idea what he is doing there. Against her better judgement she invites him in to her home.

Surrey: Twenty-one-year-old Lily Monrose has only been married for three weeks. When her new husband fails to come home from work one night she is left stranded in a new country where she knows no one. Then the police tell her that her husband never existed.

Two women, twenty years of secrets and a man who can’t remember lie at the heart of Lisa Jewell’s brilliant new novel.

I love reading Lisa Jewell’s books and this is the fifth or sixth book I have read from Lisa Jewell.

The story begins in Yorkshire where a woman named Alice finds a man seated on the bench by the beach. The man looks lost and confused and it seems that he has lost his memory. Alice takes him in even though her own children and her friend Derry were against the idea of Alice helping out a random stranger. What is this man’s past history? And what happened to him? Meanwhile in Surrey, a woman named Lily is searching for her husband who had mysteriously disappeared.

This was a fast-paced thriller. The story divides between the present which involved Alice and Lily’s POVs in third person form and the past in the year of 1993 which is the story of Gray whose sister starts dating a boy named Mark and Gray is suspicious of him. I just liked all those twists and turns along the way and the ending itself was completely unexpected. The chapters are short and easy to read, which is one of the reasons why I like reading Lisa Jewell’s books. I just like how Alice and the stranger, whom the kids named him as Frank, their relationship develops as Alice helps Frank to recover his lost memories.

Overall, this is a fast paced thriller with an unpredictable twist and turn. Worth four stars.

Clutching my husband’s hand, I screech with delight as the rollercoaster loops through the air. I feel young and free for the first time in years, but as we roll to a stop and I look for our three beloved children in the crowd, I panic. I can only see two. Where is my daughter?

Today was meant to be special. A final fun family day out before five-year-old Summer joins her big siblings at school. But in an instant, we’re plunged into a nightmare. We scream her name as we frantically search the amusement park for a glimpse of her flaming red hair.

When the police ask about strangers, grudges and enemies, I have no answers, just questions. Why did I think I could leave my children alone, even for a minute? What kind of mother am I?

I feel in my heart that Summer is out there somewhere. But as I obsess about finding her, my family is falling apart. My eldest daughter Merritt is withdrawn. My son Gus is angry. And after seventeen years of marriage, my husband has never felt more like a stranger. Where does he go when he says he’s working late? Who is he constantly messaging?

I must fight to hold my family together, but I’m terrified Summer’s disappearance will destroy us all. Will I ever forgive myself for letting her out of my sight? Will I ever hold her tiny hand in mine again?

A completely gripping and emotional page-turner about every parent’s darkest fear. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Jojo Moyes and Kate Hewitt.

This is an emotional and heartbreaking tale of a family, who deals with the loss of a child, when their child was abducted on one summer day.

Greta and her family had gone to the amusement park to have the summer fun. While Greta and her husband Wade went to have fun, leaving Merrit their oldest daughter to look after the two children Gus and Summer. When they return back, they realized that Summer is gone but Merrit and Gus was there. Then comes the search for Summer, the trauma that it caused and Greta’s determination to get her daughter safely back home.

This book was well written and it was actually emotionally read. The whole story is told in Greta’s POV and Greta is dealing with guilt, as well as her deteriorating relationship with her family, including her husband and her two children–she started having straining relationship with all three of them. Greta is determined to know what happened to her daughter and at the same time she was determined to find out who was reponsible for kidnapping her daughter. The writing was great and throughout the story, you could actually feel Greta’s pain and anger ad guilt, which makes the book actually really great to read. The ending was actually a happily ever after ending.

Overall, if you are fans of Jodi Picoult, then check this book out, as it talks about child abduction and the trauma and emotions the family is going through after the abduction. Worth 4.5 stars.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.

Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel – ARC Book Review

Turn a tumbledown Paris hotel into a perfect boutique, bookish retreat, and have it open for Christmas? What could possibly go wrong? When Anais receives a near-derelict Paris hotel in her divorce settlement, her first thought is to tidy it up and sell it immediately. All she wants is to move on and forget her disaster of a marriage ever happened.

But selling it proves impossible, so she has only one to make it gorgeous and open by Christmas… when her funds will almost certainly run out.

She’s not counting on the grumpy American bar-owner next door, Noah, coming and interfering at every moment though. Nor is she expecting to find a mysterious room – which holds the key to a one-hundred-year-old secret – about a woman who chose love against the odds.

One thing’s for sure… as the fairy lights twinkle all over the city of lights and the first snowflakes start to fall… this will be a Christmas in Paris to remember

I love reading Rebecca Raisin’s books and her latest book Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel is no exception.

Anais is facing disaster–she is getting divorced from her cheating husband and as a divorce settlement, she receives an almost abandoned hotel. Anais wanted to clean up the hotel, sell the hotel and then forget all about it. But the hotel needs to be repaired which makes it impossible to sell and so Anais’s funds seem to be running out as she needs to open the hotel by Christmas. Noah, an American man working at the bar, seems to be entering into her life and then while in the hotel, Anais discovers a secret locked door which might change her life forever.

All Rebecca Raisin’s stories involve a break up and then finding a new romance which seems to be the main trope of the romance novels. However, I just like the setting of the story–it is set in Paris, one of the romantic cities in the world and it is set during the Christmas time which is a plus signs for romance novels. There were some funny moments in the book and I like how Anais and Noah’s relationship eventually changed from strangers to friends to eventually in the end as lovers. The writing is really great with all these beautiful descriptions in and around Paris.

Overall, if you are looking for a good romance read for Christmas, Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel is for you! Worth 4 stars.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Boldwood books for the ARC. Thank you for the invite. This review is based on my honest opinion only.

Dangerous Play – ARC Book Review

After a tumultuous murder case that almost cost more than her job, sports reporter Kate Green is back on assignment covering women’s Olympic soccer. Between her experience with athletic stardom and days playing with Savannah Baker, head coach of the USA team, Kate is sure to get the story that will reestablish her career.

She just didn’t expect that story to involve murder.

When famous jewelry designer Alexa Kane is found dead in the locker room, Kate’s promising future screeches to a halt as her past resurfaces. Alexa played with Kate and Savannah on the US youth national team , but there was no reason for her to be at the stadium now.

Kate’s investigation puts her in close contact with her estranged father, an NYPD detective who has his own past to answer for. As their secrets collide, Kate will have to decide which ones to keep—and which ones to reveal to stop the killer.

This is the second book of Kate Green series. Even though I haven’t read the first book of the series, I read this book as a standalone.

Kate Green is covering the sports news for the Olympic football match between USA and Argentina. However soon, a body is discovered in the locker room and Kate realizes that the body belongs to a woman named Alexa Kane, a popular jewelry designer. Kate, Alexa and the coach of the football team Savannah has a history with each other. With the help of her estranged father, Kate must dwell into her past and find Alexa’s killer.

This was really a fast-paced thriller. There are some twists and turns and the whole story as a whole was engaging and entertaining. I like how the story is divided into the present day and past, the past talking about Kate’s teenage years when she first met Alexa when they were both competing for the soccer. I like how there are numerous suspects in the story, particularly Savannah who had bullied both Alexa and Kate during the matches. The ending was completely unexpected. The whole teenage friendship between Alexa and Kate was realistic particularly when Kate failed to help Alexa when Alexa was bullied. The story touches about bullying, sexual assaults in general.

Overall this is a page turning thriller that will keep you up all night. Worth 4.5 stars.

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the book. The review is based on my honest opinion only.

There’s a knock at the door. It’s every mother’s worst the police are here. They tell me my beautiful daughter Charlotte has been hurt. They’ll take me to the hospital, there’s no time to lose… and I know this must be all my fault.

Charlotte and I argued so badly the last time we spoke. I was just worried about her, but she refused to hear me out. And now she’s lying pale, still and silent in a hospital bed. I’m convinced this was no the police should be questioning her boyfriend, Freddie.

I never thought he was good enough for her, but did he hurt my daughter? Guilt floods through me again and again. If we hadn’t argued, she wouldn’t have been with him today. If we hadn’t argued, I could have been there for her. But I didn’t listen and instead, she pushed me away. I didn’t even know my darling girl was pregnant.

And now she’s lost forever. The doctors say she will never wake the only part of her they can save is her unborn child…

There’s only one thing I can do. He may be my grandchild’s father, but I know Freddie is dangerous. I’ll fight with everything I have to prove he’s guilty.

I failed to protect Charlotte, but how far will I have to go to keep her baby safe? And will what’s left of my family ever or will my part in my daughter’s death tear us all apart?

Joanna and her daughter Charlotte haven’t spoken to each other for a long time. Joanna doesn’t approve of Charlotte’s boyfriend Freddie who she believes is not a very good person. When Joanna receives a visit from two police officers, who tells her that Charlotte has fell down the stairs after an altercation and is at the hospital with life altering injuries, Joanna immediately rushes to the hospital. Joanna firmly believes that Freddie is responsible for whatever happened to Charlotte. Joanna finds out that Charlotte was pregnant. What is going to happen next?

The story is told Joanna’s and Freddie’s POV. Despite the fact that Joanna thinks Freddie is up to no good, reading through Freddie’s POV told me otherwise–that he was loving and caring towards Charlotte. The story overall was emotional and heartbreaking to read and the writing really captures those emotions very well. There are some twists and turns along the way which actually made me second guess about what is going to happen in the end. The book mainly talks about relationships, friendships and family in general and of course some suspense. This book will make you cry a lot.

Overall this book worth a five star rating.
