Not in a Million Years by Sophie Ranald- Publishes 2/22/23

 


This was not your typical romcom.  Kate is successful, has her own place, and has a great group of friends.  However she has been unlucky in love and suffers from insomnia which allows her to bake way too much.  While she is waiting for her next freelance job to start she finds out that her best friend, Andy might be in trouble.  She ends up traveling to Turkey to try and find out what is happening.  However she doesn't go alone.  Daniel, another one of Andy's friends also goes.  The problem is Daniel and Kate do not get along after something that happened in the past.  The last thing Kate wants is to spend time with him.  While on the trip Kate's feelings start to change and she might even imagine a future with Daniel.  There are other forces at work that threaten to destroy what might be a possible romance of a lifetime. 


I have read many different books with a similar plot line but this one felt different.  Kate is an interesting main character who suffers from a fear of heights, loves to bake, and is determined to make it on her own.  Andy, the friend they are trying to help has many problems and he truly is what makes this book different.  This book was about Kate and Daniel but it was also about Andy and his problems.  I think many people will find this relatable and have had friends like Andy in the past.  There were also some really touching moments in this book that brought smiles to my face and even caused me to laugh out loud.  This is a great book for anyone looking for a different type of love triangle or enemies to lovers romance.

Neferura by Malayna Evans

  Neferura will transport you back to ancient Egypt, into a world filled with drama, espionage, and court politics.  It is a fascinating, account of one of the only daughters of two pharaohs.  Hatshepsut was the first female pharaoh who did amazing things with her rule during a time when women ruling should have been unthinkable.  This story delves into her rule but the main focus is on her daughter, Neferura. What I really enjoyed about this book was Neferura is portrayed as a strong female whose life is not as easy as one would think for having a mother who is a pharaoh.  She has always had to placate her half-brother Thutmose III, who is co-ruler with her mother.  Thutmose hates Neferura and will do all that he can to over throw Hatshepsut and Neferura.  Neferura must use her own wits to figure out a way to out smart Thutmose before he finds out a way to get rid of her permanently.   I love a story that is set in ancient Egypt and this one...

Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth

  My heart broke for the three sisters, Jessica, Norah, and Alicia. At one point in this novel I was an emotional wreck and could not stop reading because I just had to find out how things were going to play out.  The novel alternates between the present and the past.  Bones have been found at the house where the sisters grew up. The question is who do the bones belong to and does it have anything to do with their foster mother, Miss Fairchild?   I thoroughly enjoyed the writing of this novel.  The story flowed and I was very invested in what was going to happen to the main characters.  I also thought I had figured out the twist in the novel but I was wrong.  The ending just blew me away.  This was a fantastic thriller and be prepared to be emotionally invested!
