Horrifying read. Great use of the nonfiction and fiction elements

Very interesting and a pretty quick read at 330 pages. Kept me guessing as to what was going on but a good ending, very satisfying. Just a good mystery, no blood and guts etc. Similar to a Hitchcock story.

You completely love the main character. It is not only so well written that I can picture everything perfectly but shines a light on the horror of concentration camps well keeping it age appropriate.

This series pulled it punches. I didn't care about most of the characters because they were downing in their own self righteousness. I expected and hope for better work in the future.

Page Turner and main character is a heroine to aspire towards.

Mexican Gothic
by Mexican Gothic Silvia Moreno-garcia

book cover


Mexican Gothic checks all the boxes of a good, crafty and very Mexican Gothic novel, it has enough of an evil and mysterious character(s), a peculiar hero, and a Victorian house that has a lot of secrets. This young author has a lot of talent, I might have asked a bit more from her editor as some chapters at the end are very heavy, but for the most part Silvia does an excellent job with the plot. I really appreciated and enjoyed all the references to the Mexican culture, it was a treat to have them incorporated in the story.

Razorblade Tears
by SA Cosby
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Razorblade Tears is a gut-wrenching, beautifully brutal masterpiece. S.A. Cosby crafts a storyline that’s as thrilling as it is emotionally profound. At its heart, this is more than a revenge tale—it’s a powerful exploration of grief, redemption, and the bonds between fathers and sons. The story follows two ex-cons, one Black and one white, brought together by the murder of their married sons. As they seek justice, they're also forced to confront their own prejudices, regrets, and the unconditional love they denied their children. Every chapter peels back layers of pain, loss, and humanity with raw intensity. Cosby's writing is electric—fast-paced yet poetic, violent yet tender. He pulls no punches in portraying the harsh realities of bigotry, masculinity, and forgiveness, but balances it with aching vulnerability. This book doesn’t just entertain—it cuts deep and lingers long after the final page. A gripping, heart-breaking, and unforgettable ride.

Not as good as her earlier book The Last Black Unicorn but some valuable parts throughout.

Well written story of an extended family’s journey & escape from Syria to England. A little confusing but good.

Agreed with the critics it is almost a classic. An authentic and well-written tale of a young girl and her strong understanding of her Eskimo heritage and the love of nature. Refreshing, intense and heartfelt. A light but meaningful read, perfect for winter!
