Book Tour: London in the Dark





London, 1910

Budding Private Detective Cyril Arlington Hartwell has a conundrum. London is being ravaged by the largest run of thefts in recent history. His hunch that it is all tied together may put him and those he loves in more danger than he could have reckoned.

Olivia Larken Hartwell is just home from boarding school for the summer anticipating time with her adoring parents.She misses her absent brother, Cyril, hoping for the day he will finally come home. But tragedy strikes, causing upheaval for all concerned and changes her life in a way she never could have imagined.

Olivia, Cyril, and their friends must bring the hidden to light, seek to execute justice, and dispel the darkness that hovers over London… and their hearts.


       Ok, I'll admit it, I don't really like the historical genre, anything set in the past is sort of "meh" usually for me, I was hoping this book would surprise me and change my mind, but it didn't.

        Don't get me wrong! This book was good. But I've realized that the genre just isn't for me... ever. Unless we're talking Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, or a few other of the classic authors.

       I really wish I could fangirl over this book, I do! The characters were great, the plot was pretty amazing, not going to lie. ;D

         But it just didn't charm me?? It was either the genre for the third person POV, which I'm not a big fan of typically.

         Even though this book wasn't for me, I can see a lot of people LOVING it. I mean, who doesn't ADORE London settings??? So if you're a historical genre lover... *points to this book*

         I may not have loved this book, but I still think Victoria is going places with her writing, she is truly talented, so I'd encourage you to check her and her book out!

            She's having a celebration over at her blog, and it's way cool, so I'd encourage y'all to check it out!


        Hey guys! By the time you are reading this I'm probably in our car being jostled as my family drives home through the country side, which means no cell service. So I probably won't reply to most of y'all's comments on here, it doesn't mean I won't read them, but I can't guarantee replying to all of y'all, sorry!

We Need Ratings for Books

Image
Guys, I wish books had ratings like movies did. Now, I can see someone commenting down below something along the lines of, " But Graayyyyy , they do have ratings!! You have jfict books written for twelve and below, YA written for teens, and NA written for a more college-aged audience, and then just Adult fiction written for, well, either advanced readers or older readerssssssssssss!!!!" But the thing is, one can go to blockbuster (okay, maybe not anymore, but I have to bring back that nostalgia *sighs* the good old days that weren't actually that good but I remember them in a golden filter for some reason), ANYWAYS , people could go to a certain section of the genre of the type of movie they wanted to see, but every movie in that genre also has a  s e p a r a t e   rating. For example, if I go to the horror section and pick up Signs , I can turn it to the back and see that it is rated PG-13 for some more intense moments. Then if I pick up let's say Along Came a...

    This is actually my second book review done on this blog, and unlike my review of The Hate U Give, it’s not controversial! Yay!!   Note: All photos in this post are mine, please ask before using them. <3                                                 (from goodreads): All her life Fern has been told she is blind to reality—but what if she is the only one who can truly see? Fern Johnson is crazy. At least, that’s what the doctors have claimed since her childhood. Now nineteen, and one step away from a psych ward, Fern struggles to survive in bustling Los Angeles. Desperate to appear “normal,” she represses the young man flickering at the edge of her awareness—a blond warrior only she can see. Tristan was Fern’s childhood imaginary hero, s...
