Desperate to assuage her deep anguish, she decides to go to India to uncover answers to her family’s past.

But it is Ravi—her grandmother’s former servant and trusted confidant—who reveals the resilience, struggles, secret love, and tragic fall of Jaya’s pioneering grandmother during the British occupation.

Through her courageous grandmother’s arrestingly romantic and heart-wrenching story, Jaya discovers the legacy bequeathed to her and a strength that, until now, she never knew was possible.

Thoughts on the book:
Overall I did not enjoy the book at all. The title and cover of the book sounded interested and drew me in. While reading however I found myself very bored with the story. I can not recommend it but I would like to thank IRead Book Tours for letting me read and review the book.

J.K. Rowlings Wizarding World The Beast within box

Another Book Related box im reviewing/unboxing:

I am a huge Harry Potter Fan. When Fantastic Beast came out I was not sure about it but I of course bought the book when it came out and loved it! Why wouldn't I? Anyway, when I saw this box I knew I needed to try it. Was disappointed in this box.

You can view my unboxing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZezAP8fGGwk

Thoughts on the box: (In bullet points, for a change)

  • Outside of box was dented but that can happen in shipping.
  • Inside of box was beautiful.
  • Wizarding World foldout explaining products was very helpful (nice feature).
  • Liked the theme of the box overall
  • Box seemed overall geared for males. All genders like Fantastic Beast please keep that in mind in the future.
Items in the box:
  • Maledictus shirt: Got the size right but I thought the shirt was very ugly overall.
  • Kelpie Mug: This item was damaged when I opened it the 1st day. They was a scratch in it or something. Loot Crate was very awesome about it and sent me a replacement right away! Sadly, not a fan of the mug.
  • Insert ad about buying Fantastic Beast movie. No coupon or anything, just an add very annoying in my view.
  • Baby Niffler squishies: Very cute, favorite thing in the box but don't know what I would use them for...
  • Matagot Pin: Don't like it. I think its very ugly.
  • French Ministry Tin Sign: Second favorite thing in the box. I studied French for years so I love all things French related. Sadly, this is another item I do not know what I would do with.
Final verdict:
  • Would not recommend this box.
  • Did not like any of the items.
  • It took two months to send me this box I think that is way too long.

Jacket Copy:
"A delightful immersion in the period and personalities, with that touch of depth that transforms a good series to a great one." —Laurie R. King
First comes love, then comes murder.
In a London slowly recovering from World War II, two very different women join forces to launch a business venture in the heart of Mayfair—The Right Sort Marriage Bureau. Miss Iris Sparks, quick-witted and impulsive, and Mrs. Gwendolyn Bainbridge, practical and widowed with a young son, are determined to achieve some independence and do some good in a rapidly changing world.
But the promising start to their marriage bureau is threatened when their newest client, Tillie La Salle, is found murdered and the man arrested for the crime is the prospective husband they matched her with. While the police are convinced they have their man, Miss Sparks and Mrs. Bainbridge are not. To clear his name—and to rescue their fledging operation’s reputation—Sparks and Bainbridge decide to investigate on their own, using the skills and contacts they’ve each acquired through life and their individual adventures during the recent war.
Little do they know that this will put their very lives at risk.

She now spends her spare time poking through the corners, nooks, and crannies of history, searching for the odd mysterious bits and transforming them into novels of her own.
