I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I agreed to review this title. At first glance, it’s not something I would normally read, despite being a huge fan of crime fiction.  That said, I’d heard nothing but praise … Continue reading →

Review: The Witch of Willow Hall by Hester Fox

Posted on October 10, 2018 by Jenn

I absolutely adored the dark and Gothic setting!  A perfect fall read, this most certainly put me in the mood for Halloween. Fox has created quite the addictive read (I read it in one weekend afternoon).  The setting, so vivid … Continue reading →
