#NetGalley #BookReview of The Doll Factory by Elizabeth Macneal #HistoricalFiction #Gothic Release date: August 13th, 2019 🌟🌟🌟🌟 I received a complimentary ARC copy of The Doll Factory by Elizabeth Macneal from NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Canada in order to read and give an honest review. " a dark, atmospheric work of gothic historical fiction which chills and thrills right to the very end..." In this debut novel from Elizabeth Macneal we get a dark, atmospheric work of gothic historical fiction which chills and thrills right to the very end. Wonderfully written with uniquely written characters and an accurate interpretation of 1850’s London The Doll Factory takes dark unrequited love and obsession to a new level. Our protagonist Iris and her sister, Rose work in a Doll shop for the cruel and intolerant Mrs Salter. Their life is monotonous to poor Iris who finds painting dolls to be stifling especially when her true desire is to become one of the first respected female artists of the time. Iris feels it necessary to hide her artwork from the prying eyes of Mrs Salter and her sister Rose. Rose after being scarred severely by smallpox, becomes jealous and often cruel to her sister after she loses her fiancé due to her looks. One day through a young street urchin, Iris meets taxidermist and curiosity shop owner, Silas. At first glance, Silas is besotted with her and his life becomes built around his disturbing obsession with Iris...Read More at www.BelindaWitzenhausen.com

#NetGalley #BookReview Ever Alice by H.J. Ramsay 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Published: August 1st, 2019 I received a complimentary ARC copy of Ever Alice by H.J. Ramsay from NetGalley and Red Rogue Press "…a wonderfully whimsical and fun story inspired by Alice and Wonderland … " The author has created a brilliant and unique take on Lewis Carroll’s, Alice in Wonderland. A unique plotline, quirky characters and an interesting interpretation of the characters Carroll is famous for. Ramsay creates a humourous story about 15-year-old Alice whose parents are concerned with her rantings about her friend “the white rabbit”. more... via www.BelindaWitzenhausen.com

#NetGalley #BookReview of The Seventh Life of Aline Lloyd by Robert Davies #fiction #memoir #mystery #paranormal 🌟🌟🌟🌟 I received a complimentary copy of The Seventh Life of Aline Lloyd by Robert Davies from NetGalley and BHC Press in order to read and give an honest review. "… In my opinion, it’s a well-written character-driven mystery which slowly unravels…" Although not really what I expected I still enjoyed The Seventh Life of Aline Lloyd. Slow-paced, this is more of a memoir told from Evan’s point of view, as we follow his life after the death of his brother and inheriting his estate in Wales. In my opinion, it’s a well-written character-driven mystery which slowly unravels, first with Evan trying to get to the bottom of his brother Damon’s unusual and concerning behaviour before his death. Then Evan’s obsession of uncovering the truth of who Aline Lloyd really is and what secrets lie behind her intense personality seems to take centre stage...More at www.BelindaWitzenhausen.com
