Book View: This Wicked Game

Short & Sweet: This Wicked Game is a standalone novel about Claire, whose family runs a voodoo shop and one day while she is there, a mysterious woman orders an item that has the potential to kill. Suddenly, the Guild is involved and Claire decides to run her own investigation with her secret boyfriend Xander. I’ve always loved Zink’s books, so it was nice to see this one coming out and I really enjoyed reading this one.

Book Review: A Temptation o..

I loved Zink's previous series because of so many, many reasons. And there was plenty to look forward to with A Temptation of Angels. Michelle Zink has a distinctive writing style.

A Temptation of Angels begins with a startling revelation. Helen Cartwright, an average sixteen […]

It was finally time to find out how the Prophecy would end. Would it be happily ever after or the end of the world? I was on the edge of my seat, […]

Book Review: Guardian of th..

It's not often you can find a plot so dark and eerie and match it with such an innocent and naive character that really just wants to do the right thing.

I felt so involved by the end of the novel in the struggle between Lia and her darker twin Alice that I did not want it to end. I read this around the same time as my sister-in-law and she texted […]
