The Safekeep – Yael van der Wouden
The Safekeep is hard and soft at once. I feel Yael van der Wouden did such a good job unveiling trauma in such a delicate way. But you can still feel it, deeply. There is love too, deep love.

Heaven Down Here – Rebecca Hall
It’s time for a XWP classic! Heaven Down Here was released in 1996. When I began to think how many years ago this is, I couldn’t believe it has been 26 years 😱! That is a bit frightening, to tell you the truth. Luckily my brain still works, and I can remember this story as…

Why Biding Time is a Must-Read Vampire Romance
Oh, I had such a conundrum with this one. While reading Biding Time the feeling krept up on me that I lost focus sometimes. Lyn Gardner tells an incredibly elaborate story. And I am impatient.
