Despite his resolve not to trust anyone again, he can’t abandon the young woman he finds alone on the road to London. In the brief hours they spend together, the enigmatic Diana touches his heart in a way he can’t explain. Even after bringing her to the Everton Domestic Society for safekeeping, he can’t get her out of his thoughts. And when he next encounters her, working as assistant to a renowned scientist, he becomes even more intrigued…⁣ ⁣ The Society’s kindness is especially welcome after everything Diana endured in a French prison, but she fears for the safety of those who get close to her. French spies are on her trail, convinced that her scientific knowledge can help them win the war. As peril draws them irrevocably together, Diana and Jacques succumb to mutual desire. But love may be the most dangerous pursuit of all, when a lady guards her heart even more carefully than she guards her life . . .⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 𝔸𝕣𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕝𝕠𝕠𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕨𝕒𝕣𝕕 𝕥𝕠 𝕒𝕟𝕪 𝕣𝕖𝕝𝕖𝕒𝕤𝕖𝕤 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕨𝕖𝕖𝕜?⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #ALadysPast #EvertonDomesticSociety ASFenichel #historicalromance #RegencyRomance #tlcbooktours #bookwineandmetime #bionicbookbabes #booksontour #bookpromo #newrelease #newbook #bookstagram #bookbirthday #coverlove

𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘱𝘴?⁣ ⁣ I recently finished Angel Mage by Garth Nix (thank you to @wunderbookspr for my gifted copy #partner) 📖😍⁣ ⁣ I spotted this awesome tree when I was in the store, so I snapped a quick pic since I hadn’t taken one yet for this book. 😂⁣ ⁣ 🅁🄴🅅🄸🄴🅆:⁣ I was initially drawn to this story because of the angels and magic. I am such a sucker for these two plotlines in fantasy. I enjoyed Nix’s spin on this concept where Mages could summon angels through the use of handmade icons or tokens in order to gain access to the magic that they possess. However, summoning angels comes at the cost of one’s life force, so the Mages prematurely age. Well, that is usually the case unless your Liliath, who has discovered a way to avoid paying this cost making her a dangerous threat.⁣ ⁣ This is definitely a slow-burn fantasy since the majority of the story really focuses on both the world building as well as the characters. I found the world building to be fantastic with the angels, magic, sprawling cities, and political turmoil. I thought that Liliath was an incredible antagonist and probably one of my favorites. However, the other characters of the story felt like they lacked depth in comparison. I usually enjoy slow burns, but I had a hard time really getting inspired by this story since it takes well over 400 pages to finally get to the adventure side of things.⁣ ⁣ Overall, I think the Angel Mage has fantastic world building and magic, and it is definitely worth a read.⁣ ⁣ Rating: 3/5 ⭐️’s ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐰!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #AngelMage #GarthNix #youngadult #yafantasy #youngadultbooks #ireadya #yabookstagram #bookblogger #bookreviewer #bookwineandmetime #bionicbookbabes #readandreview #katherinetegenbooks #readingchemistreviews

Turns out her mom, Patty Watts, was just a really good liar.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 📖 𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚍𝚍𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟶 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚕𝚒𝚜𝚝? 📖⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #berkleypub #duttonbooks #thrillerbooks #mysterybooks #tbr #bookwineandmetime #bionicbookbabes #toread #mustread #coverlove #bookbloggerlife #bookreviewer #lovetoread #alwaysreading #anticipatedreads #randomhouse #penguinrandomhouse #putnambooks
