 Book review : The Courts of Fate and Fear by Elizabeth S. Trafalgar is an incredible piece of writing that evokes a different picture of fate and fear in this fantastic story. The author has depicted the story of Princess Adrella who was discarded in the name of duty in the wilds to search for magic. Fate leads her to an entirely different world which she never thought of and finds complete different picture of what she was taught and reality .  I appreciate the authors way of showing that all of us are God's creature and whatever be our ideas , intentions and motives. It is God's will and our fate that decides the real motives of our lives in this book. Moreover one should never consider small or invaluable . Every God's creature is the most valuable and its the way how that person is drilled to reach that desired result. The book is really interesting and keeps unfolding lots of mysteries in an elusive way. I really loved reading this book and waiting for more to come in...

Book review : A Taste for Killing by Sarah Hawkswood is a well- crafted historical novel of a medieval mystery. The story is of the period January 1145, of Godfrey Bowyer , best but least likeable bow maker of Worcester. He was killed by giving poison in his meal while his wife , Blanche saved. The investigation is carried by Sergeant Catchpoll with the help of Undersherrif and Undersergeant.  The author has well reasearched the way people lived, spoke and how the means of finding the culprit without the modern means of finding the real reason of poison and keeping their public safe in such circumstances. I appreciate the way the story takes twists and turns unfolding the secrets and letting deeper to the way of real culprit and making clear the real intentions of each person related to the corpse. I liked reading this 10th book in series of the author, Sarah Hawkswood who has done an incredible job. This novel is stand alone so can be read in any order. I am thankful to netgalley ...

  Book review : No Secrets Allowed by Kana Wu is a lovely romantic book about a long distance relationships.
