Shadows of the White City

I really enjoyed this well crafted and exciting novel. There was so much interesting history and fascinating information about the Chicago World's Fair. I also loved seeing characters from the first book in the series, Veiled in Smoke. There are also new characters and a really sweet older romance. The literary references were a lot of fun too. Highly recommended for fans of historical fiction, but you will want to start with the first book.

I received a copy of this book for free for the purpose of review from Netgalley and the publisher.

February Book Haul

I'm linking up with The Deliberate Reader and Tynga's Reviews to share this month's book haul.

I treated myself to quite a few books this month. There were some good Kindle sales, and i took advantage of a couple of Amazon's Matchbook prices as well. I also bought the Kindle versions of several of the books that I reviewed last year. I love to support my favorite authors, and spending a couple of dollars on a book I've already read is an easy way to do that. Here are my newest acquisitions.

Here are the books I picked up over the past few weeks.
