As Effie sneaks around the house, hiding under tables and peeping through trapdoors, she realizes the secrets Greenoaks holds aren’t just in the dusty passageways and hidden attics she grew up exploring.

I just read The Widow of Rose House by Diana Biller which is a gothic style historical romance with ghosts, (but not scary ones). Now I see The Brightest Star in Paris is out, which looks like it’s about a brother from the hero of the first book. And more ghosts, I suspect. I just might have to try it 😀
Oh, sounds good. I’ve been wondering how to decipher what makes “gothic” style. I’m bad with narrowing down specifics of genres. But, I’m reading The Lighthouse Witches, which a blogger described as gothic suspense. Now, I remember Mexican Gothic described as gothic thriller or horror. So, what exactly is gothic?
I’m not exactly sure, Tasha, but this book seems to have some of the elements to me – a spooky old haunted house, for starters, with a ghost and a mystery from the past to solve.
Totally! I read a little about it and I get it, mostly, it’s just one of those things that make me overthink and circle round and round. Lol
YAY!!! I’ll add your suggestion to the Friday Finds, Jan. 🙂
Hi just wanted to let you know Rebel North by JB Salsbury realizes on Oct 26. Didn’t know if you wanted to add it to the preorders.
YAY!!! Thank you Darlene!! I’ll add it in. 🙂
I’ve got to say, Im currently halfway through The Lighthouse Witches and am obsessed with this story thus far! One of those I can’t put down or turn the pages fast enough. Perfect read for spooky season, and intense!
Oh I love when you get obsessed with a book. I’m so happy!
I’m going to start Layne Deemer’s new psych thriller “Under the Influence” and that blurb totally GOT ME!! I’m so excited again!
Oh wow, that one sounds very intriguing. And the cover!! 😍
FLT: “The exorcist is dead.” My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix (author of The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires)
The only thing better than this book right now is its retro cover. If you were born around 1972, it’s like reliving your childhood.
🙌 Sounds good!
Ok, technically this is the first line in the book, then I’ll do the first chapter line.
FLT- “They bind our feet and ankles, tear off our clothes, and douse us with alcohol.” <- It gets more intense after that. 😬 Then, chapter 1, “The lighthouse was called the Longing.” The Lighthouse Witches by C.J. Cooke
FLT
“It’s not me, it’s you,” the man on the other side of the restaurant table told Elizabeth.
Just One Look (Escape to New Zealand #14) by Rosalind James
Loving this one! Hot NZ rugby player & American neurosurgeon.
Some recent reads
About Last Night by Ruthie Knox – A melty, romantic book that wraps you up with the goodness of a good guy who is sexy and smooth. Set in London, American tatted Cath gets in trouble after a blind date & a very British man she dubs “City” takes her home. Much goodness ensues, even within the hour. City: “Is your head feeling better, Mary Catherine?” Cath: “Yes, thank you.” He licked her collarbone, kissed behind her ear, nibbled her lower lip. “Call me Cath” City: “No, I don’t think I shall.” He grasped her by the waist and lifted her… “I’m taking you to bed now Mary Catherine.” Cath: “Yeah.” she whispered “I think I’d like that.” 5⭐ (Shades of Smooth Talking Stranger)
The Good Lie by A.R. Torre – This is story about a serial killer with six teens already murdered. Psychiatrist Gwen Moore, expert on killers, gets drawn into an analysis of the case by attorney Robert Kavin, one of the fathers whose son was killed. Romance, good writing & well developed characters. I think I held my breath the whole time cause it was always moving so fast & my eyes were glued to the page. Very clever…not sure if all the ends were tied up. 5⭐
Mr. Perfect by J.A. Huss – Talked about this book before…so good! McAllister Stonewall is one sexy dude & celebrity concierge, Eloise Hatcher’s, boss. The chemistry between the two is sizzling hot & rivals the best office romance book around. Great banter. Watch out for the office breakfast scene. 5⭐
Finished up the Sex, Love & Stiletto series by Lauren Layne. Read it between my darker reads. Thought it would be fluffy & pink but it’s more than that. Good writing, great guys, clever stories and supportive girlfriends make it special. 4⭐
I’d like to read About Last Night, but it’s not available on kindle Australia, and my library doesn’t have it. Darn 🙁
ooooh! I gotta add this now!!! 😀 Thank you Mony! Another fabulous list. 😀 ❤️
I read About Last Night! A good one. I love that author.
