Uptown Oracle Reads… 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

Tonight, Evelyn Hardcastle will be killed… again. It is meant to be a celebration but it ends in tragedy. As fireworks explode overhead, Evelyn Hardcastle, the young and beautiful daughter of the house, is killed.
Uptown Oracle Reads… The Silver Queen

As with The Gilded King and her other books, Jaffrey continues writing her unique take on vampires and zombies. The Silver Queen is no different. Her wonderfully written supernatural world expands on the lore and differences of these creatures to the ones we often see in media.
Uptown Oracle Reads… Through the White Wood

Uptown Oracle Reads… The Girl King

One of the things I loved about The Girl King was that it focuses on multiple strong female characters. These characters are also distinct with one another, have different traits, relationships and goals. Each of them has a story, a path to follow, and the fight to lead ahead of them.
