New York Times Bestseller " A] fascinating, engrossing, often dark history of drug use in the Third Reich." -- Washington Post The Nazi regime preached an ideology of physical, mental, and moral purity. Yet as Norman Ohler reveals in this gripping new history, the Third Reich was saturated with drugs: cocaine, opiates, and, most of all, methamphetamines, which were consumed by everyone from factory workers to housewives to German soldiers. In fact, troops were encouraged, and in some cases ordered, to take rations of a form of crystal meth--the elevated energy and feelings of invincibility associated with the high even help to account for the breakneck invasion that sealed the fall of France in 1940, as well as other German military victories. Hitler himself became increasingly dependent on injections of a cocktail of drugs--ultimately including Eukodal, a cousin of heroin--administered by his personal doctor. Thoroughly researched and rivetingly readable, Blitzed throws light on a history that, until now, has remained in the shadows. "Delightfully nuts." -- The New Yorker NORMAN OHLER is an award-winning German novelist, screenwriter, and journalist. He is the author of the novels Die Quotenmaschine (the world's first hypertext novel), Mitte, and Stadt des Goldes (translated into English as Ponte City). He was cowriter of the script for Wim Wenders's film Palermo Shooting. He lives in Berlin.Binding Type: Paperback

I Loved It
Format: Kindle
This was my first time reading a book by Elle Alexanda, and it definitely won’t be my last! I was absolutely captivated by the Lou/Ava love story. I found Lou’s vulnerability so endearing. It was an excellent read, and I wish it were available as an audiobook. The story was a slow burn, but it kept me hooked. The flirting and banter between Lou and Ava were so entertaining. I didn’t want the story to end! Well done, Elle!

Romance with a side of Thrill
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars!
I was immediately engrossed in this debut novel, with the thrilling beginning and obvious future romance between Lou and Ava. I thought the setting of the town was wonderful, full of small charm and supportive characters. The little nods towards the continuing threat to Ava’s life were good. The budding romance was great, too! I think the intimacy scenes were soft and perfect.
The main reason this didn’t reach 4.5 stars for me (thus would’ve rounded it to 5 instead of down to 4), is because of the POV switches during chapters. They’re a bit jumbled in; the reader is suddenly seeing or hearing things from Lou when it started with Ava, but then it quickly switches back to Ava. It’s not my favorite way for a story to be shared.
I also lost a little steam towards the middle-end, right before the big finale. I’m not sure if my other hobby distracted me or if the story hit a slow spot. It’s possible I was hoping for a little more excitement. This story had more romance than thrill.

Blood and Muscle
Format: Kindle
I had this on my shelf for a while. lG reviews were great, the cover was pretty, and it sounded really interesting.
It was better than I expected! Love when that happens🥰
The story was great, the writing was good, and the characters were amazing! Ava and Lou's chemistry at first was a little charged. But as the story went and their relationship developed, it turned into something more tender and very intimate. Throw in the witness protection thing, and you have quite exciting romance. I will be reading this again!
