The House of Hidden Letters
by Izzy Broom
Fun Read (2/8/2026)
This was a fun read with a great mix of historical fiction, romance, and mystery. I felt like I was on vacation as I was beautifully transported to the Greek island of Folegandros. Unraveling the mysteries of the past as well as finding out what the main character, Skye, was running from kept me turning pages quickly.
The Bone Thief
by Vanessa Lillie
Disappointing mystery (7/2/2025)
The Bone Thief picks up a few months after the first novel in the series, Blood Sisters, with Syd once again working for the BIA back in RI looking for a missing person. I appreciate that The Bone Thief sheds light on a topic that isn't discussed frequently. I learned a few new things about the injustices and struggles of the American Indian population and also appreciated the author's note referencing the history. I wanted to like this book more as I think the concept and mystery was interesting but found it a bit unrealistic, difficult to follow and disjointed at times. There were many characters to keep track and overall just felt like there was too much going on in the various subplots.
