I saw this post on Des’ blog and I thought that it was an amazing idea to share with you what books I was approved for on Netgalley on a weekly basis. For those of you who are regular readers of my website, you will know that I request A LOT of books off of NetGalley. I just can’t help myself. I see a pretty cover and BAM. I suddenly have 25 books that need reviewing.

Anyway, this week I was approved for these amazing bunch of books!

Title: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

Author: Taylor Jenkins Reid

Publication Date: 1st September 2017

Publisher: Atria Books

Pages: 400

Genre: Historical Fiction/Romance

Series: N/A

Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now?

Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.

Summoned to Evelyn’s luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the ’80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn’s story near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways.

The Amrithi are outcasts; nomads descended of desert spirits, they are coveted and persecuted throughout the Empire for the power in their blood. Mehr is the illegitimate daughter of an imperial governor and an exiled Amrithi mother she can barely remember, but whose face and magic she has inherited.

When Mehr’s power comes to the attention of the Emperor’s most feared mystics, she must use every ounce of will, subtlety, and power she possesses to resist their cruel agenda.

Should she fail, the gods themselves may awaken seeking vengeance…
