She is one of my favorite authors! All of her books are so beautifully written and tell parts of history many others have not exposed.

Meet Helen, a widow, who has also lost her only son. She has recently returned to her hometown to live out the rest of her days alone. Then one night, she gains the most unlikely companion: a mouse. Just when she has resigned herself to dying dying at any moment, she is given new purpose. This was such a cute story, and definitely worth the read!

I’m going to need the third book, thank you! In the words of Orlando Bloom, “Aaaargggghhh! Swash! Swash! Buckle! Buckle!” This sated my pirate craving at the start of this summer reading period. The 4 stars is only because I had to wade through the grammatical errors at the beginning. It got better as the chapters went on, and I know the author is self published, but it needed another set of eyes before it was printed. I loved the story so much that I overlooked the spelling and grammar for myself, but I worry it would turn others away. I wish we could get to know Connell more. He and I would get along very well *raises a cup of tea to him.* The characters are so endearing for being so prickly, and the stakes are most definitely high. Note: cursing (pirates, duh), spice level went up from the first book.

The book really explain it's mean and have a big event's through chapters1-40 and is a very Fasinating book in it's manner.

Already one of my favourite books of the series. I love seeing the main character grow and change.

I love that she got smarter as the book went on and it build confidence

A love story written in Mcomber's style. Good read.

It was hard to follow at first but then it got easier.

Very interesting story & very enjoyable however I found Katniss to be quite dislikable & even annoying at certain times and since she's the main character and the book includes her internal monologue it kind of ruined it for me. She's a lot more likable in the movies.

Great WW II historical fiction for someone who loves books about bookshops that intertwines past and present stories.
