Infinite Impossibilities – Book review for NetGalley – Crossing the Lines by Sulari Gentill
Crossing the Lines Two writers in love with the writing. Two characters those writers imagine, create and give life to. Two realities that start of parallel to each other, cross over, intervene, coil and suffocate one another. Crossing the Lines is a much unexpected story. Seemingly straightforward to begin with, it takes reader on…

War never is lady – Book review for NetGalley – The Queen’s Promise (Broken Kingdom #1) by Brenda Rickman Vantrease
the Queen’s Promise This saga has a lot of characters, some may say too many. It has a lot of different stories and varying angles. Why? To make it all the more clear that a war, a conflict does not have ‘nice sides’. It does not differentiate between royals and peasants, between men and women….

Bureaucracy is global language – Book review for NetGalley- The Moscow Code by Nick Wilkshire
The Moscow Code What a nice surprise this book was. For once I was not disgusted or angered by how author portrayed Russia and Russians. What a nice change this was. Anyhow, would I read more of Charile Hiller’s adventures? I do not think so. However, this book was an interesting read. It was full…
Are we body or soul – Book review for NetGalley – The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle What comes first, body or soul? Where is the threshold beyond which we become what we think we are or what other tells us we are? What is punishment? And where are its limits? This book is weird and amazing, it is soul-searching and hair-rising, tantalizing and revolting at…

Lawyering in shorts and thongs – Book review for NetGalley – Vindication by H.Terrell Griffin
Vindication Well, all in all the book is readable. The story is good. The unravelling, not so. There are so many pointless and very long passages (thoughts, plans, actions of the main character) that have no bearing on the story. I had to flip pages and flip pages. The mystery is good. However, it is…
