The Winters by Lisa Gabriele

I received this book in my November monthly book box. I was more than excited when I read the blurb. It said this book is "inspired by Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca" and it has a pretty cover so I started reading right away. Last night Rebekah tried to murder me again. The narrator in this...

Memory is a flawed transaction. Like all ciphers. Jack is a fighter pilot in England, but he uses a stolen identity to escape his... Continue Reading →
