How do you steal an archive? One file at a time.

This is the story of a quiet, introverted archivist who had access to the most heavily guarded files in the world. Vasili Mitrokhin had started out as a communist party believer until he was transferred into the archives of the KGB. What he read there angered him to such an extent that he decided to copy the files, one by one, in his own shorthand code to be rewritten in his own time at home.

Helen and Paris‘ love story but make it sapphic and mafia.

I don't think the Greek mythology element works at all. It's barely present and labeling it a reimagining gives expectations that the book doesn't meet.

It's an easy, fun dark mafia romance. That aspect of it is pretty good, it's not to my personal tastes but I can imagine a lot of people will enjoy it.

Wow this was such an emotional and heartfelt read. It really pulls at your heartstrings and almost had me in tears. Its so well written and captures the various emotions so perfectly. The ending although not how I wanted it to end, was the right one for the book. It finished the story beautifully. The story is told by the main characters and we see into each of their lives both past and present. The characters are all very likeable #Netgalley 4*

Emily was in a coma for 4 months following an accident & to aid her recovery somewhere quiet, she agrees to move from London to 'Larkin Lodge', a house on the Devon moors. She hopes that this will give her marriage to husband Freddie a fresh start, but when they arrive, far from the pretty country home on the website, the house is shrouded in mist & inside the house is either unbearably hot or achingly cold.

I‘m obsessed with hockey romance and curious if pickleball romance would scratch the same itch. It didn‘t. Shaw is a capable narrator breathing life into plucky MC Bex. The chemistry between the two characters didn‘t quite work for me - the grumpy/sunny vibe that I know loads of people will really love. Similarly the fake dating stakes felt low. My review makes it sound like I liked it less than I did.

I‘m consistently a sucker for a book about cults. Bex has escaped from the cult and started a new life. A visit from her former BFF brings up strong feelings, opens old wounds, and threatens Bex‘s new life. Since the audiobook features two MCs, I would‘ve preferred two narrators. Julia Atwood is an excellent and emotionally charged reader. Thanks #netgalley
