Review: Powerless by Lauren Roberts

In the kingdom of Ilya being a person without powers is forbidden and Paedyn has to navigate through this world hiding that she is without powers- an Ordinary. After her father is murdered by the king, Paedyn survives by stealing and pretending to have psychic powers. When she saves Kai, one of the princes, she comes to the notice of him and others. Kai has been trained by his father to be a killer; a killer of Ordinaries and threats to the throne. He is drawn to Paedyn and when she is added to the Purging Trials, she becomes his distraction. Paedyn has to hide her identity from the Elites- those who have powers and deal with her attraction to Kai. Through the trials they become close and she also becomes friends with his brother the heir to the throne Kitt. Kai and Paedyn have feelings for each other but in the end hatred will separate them. The first book in a trilogy, this set up the series well and was a fast paced plot. The banter between Kai and Paedyn was well developed as well

Review: Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth

Jessica, Norah and Alicia were just girls when they lived with thier foster mother and grew into sisters. When a body is found under the house they lived in during that time, questions about their foster mother and what she was capable of spur them to remember thier time with her. All three girls had difficult lives and this plays out with Jessica and Norah, while Alicia tries to help kids like she had been. All suspect thier abusive foster mother of doing something to someone, but they don’t have proof. Eventually the truth comes out and it frees the sisters to live thier lives. I thought this was disappointing story in that it was slow and was predictable. The twist at the very end was good, but I couldn’t get into the characters either. I liked Hepworth’s other books like The Younger Wife and The Soulmate better. Content warning: child abuse sexual abuse and strong language  ⭐️⭐️

Review: Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

One of my favorite Austen books, this follows the Dashwood sisters Elinor and Marianne and their trials finding love. The sisters differ in temperament and in the men they choose- Elinor is a more restrained and she falls for reserved Edward and Marianne is passionate and unreserved in showing her feelings and she falls for Willoughby, a charismatic man who matches her personality. Each sister falls for their suitors, but difficulties ensue, leaving Marianne devastated when things don’t work out with Willoughby. Elinor and Edward have a happy ending and Marriane finds lasting love as well. I love both sisters and I like thier sister relationship.  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
