    Diamond Eye was gripping. Very good. There is even a song about her written by Woody Guthrie.

    Take My Hand and Book Woman's Daughter are very high on my TBR as well.

    Hey Christa, this video is a fantastic idea, and you need to read a chapter continuation video. I have read the Wild Women and the Blues by Denny S. Bryce. If you have KU, you can borrow it. It is about the 1920s New York Jazz clubs and the stories of the mafia at that time. I gave the book 5-stars and thought Denny S. Bryce's writing is captivating, you can see my review at GR. I am looking forward to reading her second book In the Face of the Sun.

Wasn't a waste to read, but I would honestly mark it as a YA thriller. I would say people that aren't fans of scary books, can read this easily. I've already had people tell me not to compare it to Rebecca, but I haven't even read Rebecca yet so I didn't! You are so correct on the word Paris being in so many titles.
