Focus on: Elizabeth Chandler






















I recently discovered author Elizabeth Chandler and was luck enough to get two books from her Dark Secrets Series: Dark Secrets 1 - Legacy of Lies and Don't Tell, and Dark Secrets 2 - No Time to Die and Deep End of Fear.

While researching I've heard great acclaim for her Kissed by an Angel Trilogy, and I am looking forward to reading her books, which sound a lot like the style of author L J Smith.

Review: The Luxe by Anna Godbersen


The first book of the Luxe Quartet, The Luxe was a great way to start off a series. Set in 1899, this book tells the story of four girls:

Penelope Hayes, a rich and spoilt society girl, Lina, a servant girl and Elizabeth and Diana Holland, two sisters with completely opposite personalities, each faced with the high expectations of both society and the Holland family.

I found these characters very entertaining, and the book is laid out with wonderful "hand written" letters and newspapers articles in between each chapter to help fuel the story.

Initially the beautiful cover of this book drew me in, but Anna Godersen writes an incredibly addictive story about four girls who each have to decide what it is they really want out of life.

It was perhaps at times a little predictable, but this is only a very small flaw.

I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the series - I strongly recommend this book!
