The Painted Bird Review
The Painted Bird is a wild ride through war-torn lands. It's intense, gripping, and at times, brutal. Expect a rollercoaster of emotions. I recommend hot cocoa and a cozy blanket for recovery. Proceed with caution!

Anne Rice’s Mayfair Chronicles Review
Anne Rice whips up a wild stew of witches, secrets, and spells in gloomy New Orleans. The drama had me gasping and, honestly, reaching for garlic just in case. Flawed characters and magic—what's not to love?
