Foul Days by Genoveva Dimova (The Witches Compendium of Monsters #1)

Today is my stop on TBR and Beyond Tours book tour for this new adult fantasy book. The cover is so cool and the concept sounds unique.

TOP FIVE REASONS TO READ THIS BOOK:

  1. The Witcher meets Naomi Novik. What more needs to be said?
  2. New, creative monsters
  3. An ex called the “Tsar of Monsters”
  4. Shadows are the source of magic
  5. FMC teaming up with the law to reclaim her magic

Synopsis:

The Witcher meets Naomi Novik in this fast-paced fantasy rooted in Slavic folklore, from an assured new voice in genre.

As a witch in the walled city of Chernograd, Kosara has plenty of practice taming rusalkas, fighting kikimoras, and brewing lycanthrope repellent. There’s only one monster Kosara can’t defeat: her ex the Zmey, known as the Tsar of Monsters. She’s defied him one too many times, and now he’s hunting her. Betrayed to him by someone close to her, Kosara’s only hope is to trade her shadow―the source of her powers―for illegal passage across the Wall to Belograd, where monsters can’t follow.

Isabel and the Rogue (The Luna Sisters, #2) by Liana De La Rosa

Rating: 4 out of 5.

I’m thrilled to be a part of Berkley’s blog tour of Isabel and the Rogue. The three heiress Luna sisters were sent from Mexico to England to protect them during the French Occupation. Isabel is the sister who is easily ignored and dismissed during social events. It makes her the perfect spy to snoop in aristocratic homes during parties for British intelligence that may help Mexico during the war. Captain Sirius Dawson is a spy for the home office befriending foolish politicians and seducing well-born ladies to learn their secrets. He catches Isabel snooping in an office and it is on.

Trouble by Lex Croucher

Rating: 3 out of 5.

This was a fun historical romance with a lot of diverse characters. Emily’s sister Amy is sick and they don’t have money for a doctor. So, Emily poses as Amy and takes Amy’s new position as a governess at Fairmont House. But Emily isn’t like Amy. She’s not polite, she’s not polished, and she has never taught a child in her life. She is, however, determined to make this job last long enough to get a few paychecks, and maybe a few trinkets to pawn, so Amy can get the treatment she needs.
