The Wicked and the Just by Jillian Anderson Coats

Dieveney, January 19, 2013

The Wicked and the Just was not at all what I expected and I was astonished by this fantastic and fascinating book. It seems a charming coming of age story set in medieval Wales with unpretentious dialogue and amusing characters, but swiftly and surprisingly becomes a fast paced politically charged thriller. If this is J. Anderson Coats debut, I can't wait to see what she gives us next.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

Dieveney, January 15, 2013

The Night Circus is the most extraordinary book I've read this year. Each chapter adds to this multi-tented circus full of the most astonishing sights and endearing characters. Time is fluid, reality is suspended, and magic is real. I was heartbroken to see the book come to an end.

The Uninvited Guests by Sadie Jones

Dieveney, January 14, 2013

The Uninvited Guests is the strange juxtaposition of endearing drawing room farce and a creepy gothic horror. I started reading for the mystery but grew to adore the very flawed but very funny characters. Sadie Jones does a brilliant job of taking a familiar setting and twisting it enough to give you chills. An incredibly fun read!

The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton

Dieveney, December 23, 2012

May require extremely late night reading as it is impossible to put down until every little secret is uncovered in Kate Morton's finest and most gripping mystery to date.
It takes her character Laurel fifty years to be brave enough to uncover the secret behind the shocking crime she witnessed as a teenager, a crime committed by her own mother. With roots in the London blitz this is a suspenseful story of secrets and how the keeping of them colors our lives and has far reaching and permanent impacts on those around us.
