Ink Blood, Sister Scribe by Emma Törzs (ARC Review)

Ink Blood, Sister Scribe by Em..

I’ve found it difficult to categorize this book! A contemporary fantasy with a hefty dose of mystery and some suspense. Magical books tucked away in private libraries that are protected ruthlessly from unscrupulous individuals… Kinda. Also, these books require blood to activate and read and some don’t just stop with a little blood. Törzs juggles three POVs: Esther, Joanna, and Nicholas. Each POV distinct and enjoyable, though I think Nicholas was my fav to follow around. Don’t jump into this […]

Harper is back! I was lucky enough to get a chance to listen to an advanced copy of Exiles narrated by Stephen Shanahan and I’m so glad I stuck with audio for my read. This is the third in the series and while you don’t have to read them in order, I recommend starting with The Dry for the best experience with Falk. Harper has expertly layered Aaron Falk’s character from the start and this book it really shines. Exiles […]
