⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Story Collector by Iris Costello

What I loved most was the writing style — elegant, atmospheric and beautifully descriptive.

The three timelines were a little confusing at first, but I enjoyed how the connections slowly unfolded through family secrets, memories and hidden objects.

For me, the writing and atmosphere were the strongest parts of the book.

4/5 ⭐️

The Secret Book of Flora Lea" combines historical events, fiction, and fantasy of “Whisperwood” to tell the story of Hazel's quest to find her long-lost sister, Flora, lost during World War II. This captivating blend of genres creates a rich and immersive narrative, making it a compelling read for book lovers seeking a poignant and enchanting tale of resilience and discovery.

"Spells for Forgetting" features the author's ability to craft evocative language throughout the book demonstrates a mastery of storytelling that is truly commendable. While the prose is captivating, the book's storyline drags at times and the conclusion feels abrupt.
