The House At Riverton By: Kate Morton

Posted on by

I just put The House at Riverton down a moment ago. I find myself almost speechless! Having read Kate Morton’s other two books, I was expecting something amazing and I was not disappointed in the least. This book is filled with secrets and suspense. This is a book I am sure I will be thinking about for a while. The characters are what drive this book forward, weaving together a story that is very intense. I would recommend this to anyone in need of a suspenseful, atmospheric read.

Also! If anyone knows of any authors that write similar books to Kate Morton, please tell me! =)

I won’t lie, I picked up Eyes Like Stars because it had a pretty cover. Lucky for me that it turned out be a a great read! It’s full of mischief and fun characters. Add that to a fairly confusing yet entertaining story and you’re in for an enjoyable read. I would recommend this to anyone in the mood for ridiculousness!

Sorcery and Cecelia or the Enchanted Chocolate Pot By: Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer

Sorcery and Cecelia was simply magical. This book was full of clever wit and hilarious characters. It is a story told through the letters of two friends who find themselves in various mishaps. This book was cozy and entertaining and I would recommend reading it with either a good cup of tea or hot chocolate. This book has two sequels which are: The Grand Tour and The Mislaid Magician. I would recommend this book to anyone in need of something lighthearted and filled with adventure.
