A Murder of Crows – Not your Average Thriller Novel but A Rare Treat for Fiction Lovers

A Murder of Crows is a promising, feel-good page-turner. The author’s writing is so good that you don’t notice how time passes by or pause to see how many more pages are left. Starting from the smart word play in the title to the ability to beautifully blend in details of ecology with a murder mystery, the storytelling is almost perfect. The narration also smoothly alternates between light moments and the more serious ones, as we experience spontaneous, witty humour, romance that feels deep, and the curiousity to learn what happens next. Sarah Yarwood-Lovett delivers the complete package, not just another thriller story.

Fake It ‘Til You Make It by Laura Carter – Hilarious, Pleasant, and Sweet!

Abbey Mitchell and Ted Thomas end up as neighbours, and they both put up a brave face each, trying to hide their own heartbreak and career problems. As they get to know each other better, they truly empathize and show support – Abbey needs a fake date for her parents’ vow renewal ceremony and Ted agrees to be her fake new boyfriend. Fake It ‘Til You Make It is a pleasant and funny rom-com novel that begins with a fast-paced first part, then has a slow-burn middle, but there is a high-stakes climax. For contemporary romance readers, this book would make a good weekend read.
