A Woman Alone

A Woman Alone


by Nina Laurin


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


1984* meets Maximum Overdrive**.


Wow- what a perfect psychological thriller for todays modern lifestyle. For a person who doesn’t want to leave the house without a charged iPhone and my Apple Watch- this book hit home!

Told mainly from the perspective of Cecelia, the stay at home mom and wife who has recently moved in the the AI centre gated community for her safety, I felt her fear and confusion as the house and accompanying AI seems to turn on her and she begins to wonder who is actually watching her. 

As a culture dependant on technology and a society constantly under the lens, her fear of her lack of privacy was very relatable. Is someone listening the we talk in range of our phones microphones? What are people hearing.. and still, what are they doing with all those secrets…

I love my tech… my phone, watch and tablets… but I still have not plugged in and set up our Google home… and this book definitely has made me not want to!

I was on the edge of my seat reading this book with every page another layer was revealed. I still get goosebumps thinking about this story, it was that good!



A Woman Alone by Nina Laurin is expected to release June 23rd, 2020.

Thanks so much to Grand Central Publishing for gifting me with my review copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Remember Love

Remember Love Ravenswood series, Book 1 by Mary Balogh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Historical romance queen, Mary Balogh introduces us to another brilliant extended family and reminds up to remember love in one swoop with this series opener! First off, this epic second chance romance gave me pure romantic chills that were remittent to reading Jane Austen’s Persuasion. Her beautiful storytelling and detailed descriptions and character building really immersed me into this story and made me root for second chances and love!

White Knight Needed

White Knight Needed Reluctant Heroes, Book 2 by Betina Krahn ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Barclay Howard is bigger and burlier than your average gentleman… and thus he has found himself to be somewhat of an antidote to the fairer sex. As a result he is more often found behind the pages of his Ivanhoe novel than out and about attempting to court a fair lady. But when his path crosses with down on her luck Norah Capshaw, his white knight complex rises up to make him go above and beyond again and again to be her hero… even though she is incredibly reluctant to the idea! This was a fun adventure romance filled with roadside hijinks, and a family mystery. Barclay was a perfect hero in this book. He was always there offering support and rescue to Norah. On the other side Norah’s resistance of Barclay and his efforts was the only wet blanket on this otherwise delightfully sweet romance!   Overall, this is my second Betina Kran book and I find her writing very light hearted and action packed.

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
