Hello Readers! I hope you had great month. Birthday month turned out good both in life and in reading. We booked our house, bought some books, got a rental home until our house is getting ready, and I started watching Emily in Paris. I watched only 4 episodes and I enjoyed it so far. November is going to be busy month with Diwali and upcoming wedding and at the end of the month we are going to Hyderabad to get our furniture here.

Epona (Highlands Series Book 1) by Michelle Dalton — [Review] ★★★★ / / Romantic Suspense / / Epona revolved around Sadie’s loss and her love for horses. It was about trauma, grief, regret, guilt, desolation, greed and vengeance, redemption, a second chance to life and love, and triumph of love over evil. It was intense, dark, heart-wrenching and captivating romantic suspense with strong female character and theme.

Vala (Highlands Series Book 2) by Michelle Dalton / / Romantic Suspense / / This was as interesting as Epona. Setting was similar, I loved meeting old characters again but this was more focused on Calla’s grief and struggle with her gift and murder investigation than romance.
