I read 5 books in the month of January. Two review books, one reread, a manga, and a semi-new release. I'm quite proud of my start for the year.
I'd recommend all of these books, but The Whispering Dark was my absolute favorite read this month. So many of my favorite things in one book and Colton Price is my favorite!
Books include:
• Wotakoi vol 2 by Fujita
• A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske (reread)
• Above the Fold by Tamara Girardi (eARC)
• The Whispering Dark by Kelly Andrew (favorite!)
• Midnight Duet by Jen Comfort (eARC)
If you were given the opportunity to explore your authentic self in an anonymous setting, would you take it?
Thank you to @wisewolfbooks for the free review copy of Above the Fold by Tamara Girardi. Out today in ebook and paperback from Amazon and B&N!
I absolutely loved this slow-burn romance. It features Mackenzie Davis, an intrepid young journalist, who finds herself in the middle of a carnival of epic proportions trying to find the perfect story to kickstart her career. The only thing is, the carnival is completely anonymous. Everyone has to wear a masquerade style mask and dress in costume; use an alias; and the actual location is a complete mystery. So you don't really know who anyone is or exactly where you are. Cellphones and electronic devices of any kind are forbidden. Mac starts out attending the carnival with a story in mind, but does she end up finding more than she bargained for?
Girardi does a fantastic job at weaving Mac's outside world with the carnival. It's fast-paced and so full of heart. Grab a milkshake and cozy up on the couch! We're headed to Carnivalesque. Can't wait for book 2!
I'm not sure if I'd have the guts to try shedding who I am. Even in an anonymous space. I so very rarely do things on my own when other people are involved. It could be fun, though. Too bad Carnivalesque isn't real.
