REVIEW: You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle

Dear Sarah Hogle,

Months ago, my friend Elyssa Patrick recommended your debut contemporary romance, You Deserve Each Other, to me. I was intrigued by the blurb and the concept, so I requested the ARC from Netgalley. Here is the description that caught my attention:

He is both accepted and entertained by Wynne Braithwaites family and friends. But the peace and abundance which he finds about him are not what he had been taught to expect.

A romantic comedy about the undertow of a carefully curated life.

Raised on a small island in North Carolinas Outer Banks, Willa has a picture-perfect nautical life: hanging out at the beach with her friends, living in a cozy seaside cottage, working at a sailing store, and running a hugely popular sailing Instagram. Its so convincing that her overzealous online followers register her to compete in the High Seas, a televised national sailing championship. Too bad Willa doesnt actually know...

The Last Wish: Introducing the Witcher by Andrzei Sapkowski

[image error]

Geralt of Rivia is a witcher. A cunning sorcerer. A merciless assassin.

And a cold-blooded killer.

His sole purpose: to destroy the monsters that plague the world.

But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good. . . and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.

Review:

If I had not met Geralt of Rivia before, I would have hesitated starting this book based on his description. See while I am more than interested in gray characters, cold blooded killers are...
