The Girls at the Kingfisher Club by Genevieve Valentine

The Girls at the Kingfisher Club by Genevieve Valentine

Fond Of I didn’t know much, if anything about The Twelve Dancing Princesses (of which this story is based on) and appreciated that my ignorance did not have to factor into the enjoyment of The Girls at the Kingfisher Club by Genevieve Valentine.

Descent by Tim Johnston

Descent by Tim Johnston

I’m a true crime junkie, one of my favorite channels is ID (Investigation Discovery) which plays a loop of Disappeared shows where women go out for a quart of milk and never comes back.

Sisters of Treason by Elizabeth Freemantle

Sisters of Treason by Elizabeth Freemantle

The Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards

The Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards

First Impressions There was so much hype when The Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards came out. Between that and the catchy blurb, I snatched it up. Impressions While Reading Unfortunately, that is where any positive-thinking ended. It was formulaic, cliché and could easily have been a Lifetime Movie (which it later was adapted into). […]

Amazing read and became engrossed in this in well, nineteen minutes. I felt it had a surprise ending about what truly happened during those life changing minutes. Can your own child become a mystery to you? What does it mean to be different in our society? Is it ever okay for a victim to strike […]
