The Brightest Star in Paris

The Brightest Star in Paris


by Diana Biller


⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


I was really wondering how author Diana Biller would continue this series, and I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised by the results! This book is a true delight, full of ghosts, family and second chances!


👻Ghosts-

I was surprised how uniquely and seamlessly Biller incorporated ghosts in this follow up to The Rose House Widow!


I wondered how it could be done without being redundant or turning the Moore family into a traveling ghostbuster troupe- that is not what happened. The including of the ghosts was very organic and seamless evolution of the ghost story. This book totally gave me a cross between Black Swan and The Sixth Sense vibe! 


👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Family-

The Moore family is back and supporting Ben this time around. I adore seeing this unique and loving family in all its incarnations! Here we see them helping young Ben recover from PTSD after the war, and again they swoop in to help an older Ben deal with heartbreak and try to help win over his love!


On the flip side we meet Amelie’s family and see their loyalty, love and devotion through many struggles.


❤️💔❤️‍🩹Second Chances-

This book is a second chance romance, but second chances abound in this story! From the ghosts to careers to life choice’s there seemed to be endless opportunity to make different decisions and find happiness!


❤️👻😍All in all, this was a good read!



The Brightest Star in Paris by Gwenda Bond is scheduled to release September 28th, 2021.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin’s NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

A Bride's Guide to Marriage and Murder Countess of Harleigh Mystery, Book 5 by Dianne Freeman ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 They finally got hitched!! Fans of the Countess of Harleigh Mystery series will be happy to hear that before any murder took place Lady Harleigh and Mr Hazelton were married with all their friends and family in attendance!

Court of the Vampire Queen

Court of the Vampire Queen (Omnibus rerelease of the Bloodline Vampires novella trilogy) by Katee Robert ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Robert’s is widely known for her storytelling mastery when it comes to polyamorous relationships and this one delivers! COTVQ organically adds members to the relationship in ways meaningful to the plot and that add to the relationship dynamic as a whole. This FMMM relationship is steamy as all get out, but also integral. I admit I came to this book for the heat, but the world creation and mission these vampires set out out on together kept me interested in between key to scenes. One of the highlights for me was meeting our favourite demon Azazel as he finds his monster brides!!! Overall, this book had tons of blood and bedroom activity ( often at the same time), but it was also a transformative story for our would-be queen, Mina. I loved seeing her come out of her shell and find her own power and strength through her sexuality. The sex positivity and freedom was...
