The Prospect of Death
By Carmen Radtke
5*

Historical fiction is a genre that I have just recently began dipping my toes in the water of. However, I have to say that this book makes me wonder why I haven’t been reading this genre longer. This book follows a group of single women who have made their way on a ship to Canada. They are headed to a city of single miners who are looking for wives. They are all met with a wonderful welcome and quickly the women are getting married off. We meet Alyssa, who is different from the other women in that she isn’t looking for marriage, rather she is trying to get back to England in a day and time where a single woman cannot be on a boat alone. However, she has caught the eye of two of the men who were on the ship with her, professionals and not miners. In Canada, one of the men in the town dies and one of these girls is accused of killing her. The men are in a tizzy and are demanding her to death. Alyssa on the other hand has her misgivings about their assumption and she and the two men who love her set to clear the accused’s name. Which is a very big task given the solidarity of these men. I was amazed to read about the quick thinking Alyssa has and the attention to detail. She definitely has a calling as a detective. However, I also thoroughly enjoyed the side plot of the men vying for her heart. It illustrates to me the old adage that love finds you when you least expect it. I truly enjoyed this story and recommend it to anyone and everyone!

Such an amazing historical romance! I was so eager to read it the moment it hit my kindle, and I was very happy I did.
Isabel and Sir William were so good together. The journey from strangers to man and wife was delightful. Their love was a breath of fresh air and the way they overcame the insecurities and differences for the good of their people show the union was meant to be. It was more than just a knight and his wife, but truly a love for the ages.

4.5 Stars

 

Murder In the Lightning Room brings us something different by the talented A.D. Brazeau. I have loved Ms. Brazeau’s other books, so there was never any doubt that I would snap up a copy of this to explore. It proved to be a very intriguing and engrossing YA historical mystery that incorporates the world of Nicola Tesla- as well as theft, murder, secrets, and so much more.
Cora Croft is a 17 year-old school student with a nose for mystery. She is pulled into the mystery and sets about helping Tesla uncover the strange affairs. But with danger lurking things become complicated. What happens makes for an exciting read.
I hope this is the start of a new series with Cora as she investigates various other mysteries. We will have to wait and see. Looking forward to whatever Ms. Brazeau has in store for us next?
Happy Reading!

Thank you, A.D. Brazeau!

My Darling Rogue (A Wicked Rogues Romance Book 1) by April Moran
Genre – Historical Romance
Cover Designer – Amanda Walker

Falling in love with a rogue is risky…

Celia Buchanan lives her life in a social whirl. And she’s hiding a secret that could ruin her. She needs a suitable husband who is either blissfully unaware of the devastating truth or adores her so much it won’t matter. She doubts such a man exists until she discovers Gabriel Rose watches her from the shadows. He may be a rogue, but his kisses set Celia on fire and the things he whispers in her ear are utterly scandalous.

Gabriel Rose straddles the border between nobility and London’s murky shadows. He is content there—until he discovers an obsession with the one woman he can never claim as his. But when Celia grants him a kiss in the darkness, her fate is sealed. Once Gabriel tastes her sweetness, he cannot let her go. What must he do to keep her forever?

Destiny is a fickle creature. A bastard is abruptly elevated to the rank of marquess, and a lady is caught in a compromising situation. A hasty marriage may not erase dark secrets and society’s prejudices but will a dangerous threat from the past force these star-crossed lovers to realize they belong together?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Set in 1484, this book is a tale of a knight’s daughter growing up, falling in love, and running her own household. When Lady Everett learned of her daughter’s upcoming marriage to Sir William, it was her duty to teach Isabel how to be a proper wife. Also, most of the lessons could not be taught but had to be learned firsthand. Although at first Isabel was fearful of marrying the enemy, she quickly is shown that she might have judged her new husband too quickly. The marriage, their alliance, and their bond as husband and wife become tested. But Lady Ward takes her mother’s wedding advice to heart, “Being a woman does have its benefits. You sit and observe, unnoticed by others.” These words will save her life and allow her information to protect her marriage.
This was a great book. It allowed a look into the way life was for a knight and his wife in England in 1484. I can’t wait to read more from the author.

This was a really good read! Sometimes the language felt off, almost like it didn’t make sense, but it was pretty easy for me to figure out regardless and still be able to enjoy the story. This story is a fictional historical romance, and it’s a very quick paced one at that. I wasn’t sure I would I like it as much as I ended up liking it when I started but I’m glad I continued!

What an epic to go back in time ! It felt like I was right there ❣️📕

So Isabel is to marry Sir William , a fellow knight her father knows but she herself doesn’t know him so I can understand her reservations , oh how things have changed since then …..

There’s one big difference that worries Isabel her family supports the house of York while her husband’s doesn’t they support the house of Lancaster , a really big issue in those days ….

Isabel remembers the lessons her mum taught and the one being to hush and observe and that one in particular serves her well

I had to chuckle at myself though , I kept reminding myself this was a different era but they knew how to “steam scene” 🙃😉🔥

Loved how it was written ❣️📕

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author hit it out of the park again with Murder in the Lightning Room. Yes I’ve read this author before and they’re becoming one of my favorites. I’ve yet to be disappointed, confused sometimes but never disappointed. I was apprehensive about reading this, the familiarity with the author made my decision.
A fictional story created that includes very real people and places of that time. Nikola Tesla was always on the move, from Thomas Edison’s people. I feel like this book was no exception as it definitely lent hints toward that.
Cora, an interesting educated young female in a time that was frowned upon. Who has a flare for science. Determined to not get tied down and head to university her teacher gives her a potential break of her lifetime. A chance to be Tesla’s assistant. Little did she know that would lead her on a mission to find missing paperwork and a murderer. Harrison Byrne, also works for Tesla as an errand boy, but he seems to fancy Miss Cora Croft. He’s there when Cora declares to Tesla to give her a week to figure out what is going on. He vows to not let her go about it alone. They set out on an adventure that could possibly change their lives.
I thought I had it figured out the whole time. Well I had most of it, a slight twist at the end surprised me. I wasn’t expecting it. If you like twists this book is for you!

This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and the amount of work she’s put into it is phenomenal. While I was hoping for a bit more action, a bit of a better romance (no hate, still a good book), I thought the book was a little but flat for my tastes, but still incredibly well done. She put in so much research and time, it was akin to almost being there and experiencing life with Isabel. Her writing style isn’t something I’d probably read again unless I was in the mood for it (kinda like Jane Austen) but once again, it was so well done. Great job!

Not only is there arranged marriages and tension woven throughout the novel, there’s real historical details you can find present throughout. The character development between Isabel and William is beautiful, as they come together as a couple. 100% worth the time to read and get to know this old world.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Even better than the first two books in the series! Picking right up from where book 2 left off, we find ourselves still at sea with Thorfinn and his Uncle Karl. Cub is a thrall(slave) in the tin mines and poor Kara is living in her uncle’s town and is expected to marry soon! Gurid is finally reunited with Yeru and her youngest child, but things are not all as happy as they appear in the land of Eddisbury. Sorven is still looking to avenge the takeover and ruin of his family’s life and belongings and wants to avenge his uncle’s death. Such a lot going on in this book and can I say it is AMAZING! We read of Cub being at his lowest point and beat to almost death and yet he does not give up on life. Thorfinn is a great hero to many and saves the lives of several people in the book. Such a great book and I cannot give any more information about it so as not to provide spoilers, but I absolutely love Kara and what she really wants to do with her life! The historical aspects and facts written into such a wonderful continuing saga of Thorfinn and his family makes this such a great read. It is so interesting reading stories of yore about families and how they lived in the past and their everyday lives. I am so thrilled at the tiny details that truly give this book the color, flair, and drama that a truly great book has. It has been such a pleasure reading The Forerunner Saga Series and I can hardly wait for book 4, Kara, Shieldmaiden of Eire. You truly need to pick up this book and read the continuation of The Forerunner Saga Series. You will not be disappointed. This book is by far my favorite so far in the series, with so much action, adventure, and answers but with a few burning questions left unanswered!

I don’t know how much of Murder in the Lightning Room is historically accurate, but it made for a good story! The story follows teenager Cora through a series of adventures. She is one of the brightest in her grade and dreams of great adventure and a career not common for women in that time. She is presented with the opportunity to work with Nikola Tesla. Her mom is opposed, but she does so anyway. That is the start of a series of events that takes Cora and her friends on quite the adventure. They take it upon themselves to try to solve a crime spree that includes theft, murder, and betrayal. You’ll never guess who is found in the center of it all. I liked the ending, as it tied up the loose ends and provided a happily ever after for a few characters. I would read more by this author and would be happy if this book turns into a series. It was very action packed and kept me hooked until the end.

An enjoyable and engaging historical romance, set during the Wars of the Roses. The storyline revolves around, Isabel a knight’s daughter, living in 1484 and Sir William, the man she has never met but is due to marry. Isabel is shocked by her arranged marriage to Sir William, especially as he is on the side of the House of Lancaster, and her family have always supported the House of York. As a dutiful daughter in the 15th century, Isabel has no say in who she will marry, even if she ends up married to the enemy. Isabel must be a good wife, but she also needs to learn how to survive during a time when betrayal and ruin are a constant threat.
The perilous Medieval England is brought vividly to life by both the descriptive narrative and the added historical details. Isabel is a very likeable and relatable main character, and I enjoyed seeing how her relationship with Sir William developed throughout the story. The clever use of old English dialogue added to the sense of the era, and made me feel immersed in Isabel’s world. The author has obviously done a lot of research into Medieval England which came across in the writing. The authors note at the beginning really helped to set the scene, and explained the background to the Wars of the Roses, and the glossary was very useful. I was hooked from start to finish with this intriguing story about love battling against all odds.

The year is 1899. During her final year at Palmer High School in Colorado Springs, Cora Croft finds herself uncovering a mystery involving Nikola Tesla and his secret projects.

Cora offers to help uncover who is behind the strange circumstances so Tesla can remain and finish his work.
With help from the charming Harrison, and life-long friend, Marshall, Cora toils against time, the elements and social constraints as she works to unravel the mystery, exposing more than one secret in the process.
I look forward to reading more books from the author in the near future.

The setting of the story takes us to 1899 in Colorado Springs, where we meet Cora Croft at the exact moment she comes across a dead body. This historical fiction novel pulls you in. 17- year old Cora Croft reminded me a few times of Anne of Green Gables. Cora is not the dreamer that Anne is, but Cora is not your typical girl of 1899. She’s got big plans as we learn, to go away to college, see places, and not settle. She sets out to be the assistant to a scientist that recently moved to town, and before long, someone is stealing documents, and another body piles up. Cora, Harrison, and Cora’s friend Wolf are set out to solve the mystery.

I truly enjoyed reading this young adult novel by A.D. Brazeau, my first that I have read by A.D. I found it easy to read, and the story flowed well, which made this an easy one to come back to. The story kept me interested. I found the characters likable. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a quick and enjoyable read.

Murder in the Lightning Room by A.D. Brazeau – Review by Maryn Belling

Welcome to Colorado Springs. Home to sparkling landscapes and barely a generation of history. Our completely relatable Miss Cora Croft – academic hopeful and hopelessly short of her mother’s example of corseted grace – would rather walk in the snow than be beholden. Amid the usual challenges for a lady of her age, social status, and upbringing, Cora tussles with calculus, physics, and gender roles.

Set 40 years after the gold-rush, the attraction of new residents to Colorado Springs is for medical reasons (consumption & tuberculosis). The railroad’s depot (Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe) constructed in Colorado Springs in 1917 is alluded to through character presence, but the town is still foot-traffic, horse, and buggy propelled.

With Pike’s Peak watching over the town and its inhabitants, Nikola Tesla watches over his experiments with physics. Despite the integral presence of physics and calculus in the workings of Tesla’s lab, readers needn’t possess specific knowledge of either topic.

The greater mysteries for Colorado Springs’ inhabitants are untimely deaths. Miss Cora’s scientific mind works through the myriad pieces to reveal the truth.

Murder in the Lightning room by author A.D. Brazeau takes place in Colorado Springs in the late 1800’s and focuses on a teenager named Cora Croft. In the blink of an eye, Cora’s life goes from completely normal, to trying to solve murders and locate stolen documents of Nicola Tesla’s work. With the help of her friend Marshall and Harrison, a boy she cannot seem to get rid of, she tries to piece together clues that were overlooked by the police. But will the information they have found lead them to the perpetrator, and find justice for the victims?

From the very first page, I was completely enthralled in this story. I loved the characters; their personalities matched the timeline so well. The setting of Colorado Springs was beautifully descripted to the point that I felt like I was there, smelling the snow and fresh air along with Cora. I also loved how some of the history and personality traits of Nicola Tesla were accurately entwined. I adored Cora for her bravery and stubbornness, especially when it came to Harrison Byrne. All in all, Brazeau writes beautifully in this story and I highly recommend this book if you’re looking for a fast paced, cozy mystery. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!

This is a really great young adult story. It is a historical fiction story which includes loads of elements such as mystery, Suspense, murder and danger. The author does an amazing job of mixing fiction with historical reference especially with regards to Nikola Tesla’s secret labs and the experiments that were conducted.
I love the main character Cora Croft. She is a very determined young woman who isn’t going to settle for a life of marriage as is normal for that time period. She is determined to make something of herself so when this mystery happens she will stop at nothing to solve it. What she doesn’t realise is how dangerous trying to unravel these secrets can be and how much danger she places herself and her friends Harrison and Marshall in.

This mystery will keep the reader hooked from beginning to end and the history references make this a really unique story.

When the German march across Europe reaches France, young Michelle Naget and her family join the throngs fleeing for safety. But their flight ends in capture by the Nazis, with one member of the family taken, while the rest of the family is sent back to their village of Braquis, France, to serve the enemy who has commandeered their home.

For the next four years, the Nagets live in the crosshairs of the enemy living under their roof and of the neighbors who question the family’s loyalties. Every day becomes a test of faith for Michelle-in God, in family, in the hope that the Allies will come, and in the letters from a young French rebel named Légère who promises Michelle that she will be free again.

But when the Nazis’ torment increases, and the razor-thin line between life and death narrows for the Nagets, the family’s motto, “We do what must be done,” and Michelle’s faith in God, give her the courage to face her enemy and do whatever she must to protect the family she loves.

Love this historical romance set in 15th century. Anything medieval makes me take a second look, but this is truly an amazing book. The dialogue, the way the author sets the scene, and the vibe of the book is 100% what I would think and what I do know from history, it was like in that time period. If you have any issues with any of the words in the book, there is a glossary at that back that I thought was an excellent addition. The book revolves around an arranged marriage, honour, scarifies that have to be made, and also finding love in the most unexpected way. This is the book for you, if you love historical fiction with romance! I always love T.L. Clark’s books, and I look forward to reading many more!

This is the best book I have read by this author. It does NOT disappoint in any way! I absolutely love how the author centers it around Nikola Tesla and his research, and the historical importance of his competition with Thomas Edison. It adds a bit of tension to the mystery! It starts out hot, and immediately you dive into trying to find out who stole Tesla’s missing papers, research, documents. Very fast paced book, which I love in a mystery. This is definitely in my top 5 of historical fiction books. While I did guess who the culprit was before it was revealed, it was still not a solid guess. But it did not deter me in any way from continuing reading the book.

Murder in the Lightning Room is an interesting YA murder mystery set in the past. The story line is set in 1899 and is well-developed and the world-building is done well. The characters are interesting and the mystery of the tale drew me in.

This intriguing fast-paced tale is full of mystery and secrets, danger and murder, suspense and gripping tension along with a dash of romance.

I enjoyed the historical information and the research AD based on Nikola Tesla the engineer and physicist and his work.

Cora is steadfast and headstrong and loves mysteries and solving puzzles so it’s a no brainer for her and friends when Tesla has problems. But she needs to beware in her search for answers!

A good read for YA fans of historical fiction and murder mystery.
