Would you recommend this book?

Title: The Book of Lost Hours
Author: Hayley Gelfuso
Would you recommend this book? This was a mixed bag for me, but I am in the minority based on the other reviews I saw. I think I just need a break from stories involving Nazis and McCarthyism right now. I probably would've set it aside if I hadn't picked it for my #CampNetGalley title. If you like stories that include historical fiction, time travel, and political intrigue that ask how far you will go for the ones you love, this might be a good pick.

Title: To You Shall All Flesh Come
Author: Lumen Reese
Would you recommend this book? It was an interesting take on vampires. (Every writer gets to put their own spin on the mythology.) If you like vampire books, this might be a good one to try.

Title: Neptune Rising: Songs and Tales of the Undersea Folk
Author: Jane Yolen
Would you recommend this book? Yes, great collection of retellings, original tales, and new sequels to lore about mermaids, selkies, and other undersea paranormal denizens. I enjoyed it.
