Historical fiction tracing through the lives of several women across generations and their connections to a location on the coast of Maine. The audiobook effectively uses multiple narrators for the different storylines.

Fast paced thriller/horror with plenty of suspense. I think it needed more explanation of what was causing everything to make it more interesting.

A nearly unbelievable account of a prolific art and antiquities thief who stole hundreds of works in the late 90s and early 2000s.

An imaginative retelling of Rumplestiltsken by the author of Cinder. I loved that series. This one has potential. Good cliff hanger for book 2

More a series of short stories than a novel.

I'm at a loss on how to describe this book, but I'll do my best... It's a quirky, entertaining, horror romance with a shape shifting monster 
informative medium-paced

Nonfiction story about the curation of the Oxford English Dictionary. And how a mentally convicted murderer played a significant role in collecting words. Interesting history.

Cute. It read more like a series of short stories than a novel. Quite formulaic but interesting. I could see this as a TV show for some reason.
