Book Review: Good Bad Girl by Alice Feeney
Alice Feeney’s “Good Bad Girl” reignited my passion for reading, and I regret not picking it up sooner. The story of a kidnapped baby at a supermarket, and the subsequent intertwining lives of four women, kept me on the edge of my seat.

I Need You to Read This
Ok but actually. I do need you to read this. Not because it is a fun title to a book, but because it is a compelling thriller that does a fantastic job of not allowing you to see where the twist will come from. As someone who reads this genre a lot, I find that there is a formula that some authors get into with their writing and so the thrilling twist can sometime seem very predictable in what will happen next. Namely, cause I watch a lot of thrillers and read a lot of thrillers so it just can feel stale at moments.

Rachel Reviews: Ruso and the Disappearing Dancing Girls by R.S. Downie (Medicus Book I)
Note: This book is published in the U.S. under the title Medicus: A Novel of the Roman Empire by Ruth Downie * A new Roman mystery to me, and a very enjoyable one at that. To give context, Trajan has just passed away and Hadrian is next in line. Set in Deva, which is modern day Chester here in Britain, Ruso is a medic who administers treatments to the legion with which he is stationed. So, his dealings are mainly with soldiers but he also has private customers and encounters people from all walks of life including the natives, some of them recalcitrant and grudge-bearing and others, more accepting of their conquerors and the changes in life that they bring.

Book Review: The Women by Kristin Hannah
Kristin Hannah’s “The Women,” is a captivating journey that will tear you apart and then gently piece you back together. Despite not being a fan of historical fiction, I found myself engrossed in this novel, thanks to Hannah’s intricate writing style and compelling characters, particularly the main character, Frankie, a war nurse in Vietnam. I recently learned that Hannah had conceived this idea in 1997, and I’m glad she waited until she was ready to write it.

The River of Lost Time.
The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished. It was a strange sight, the silver waters, once flowing steadily towards the horizon, now rushed upstream, twisting around the jagged rocks as if they were rebelling against nature itself. The villagers watched in stunned silence, unsure whether to be terrified or mesmerized. But no one knew it yet the river's defiance was only the beginning.
