This was good! I had no idea what this book was about when I started listening. (Yes, I grabbed it for the cover alone. Don’t judge me) It didn’t take me long before Ellie’s story hooked me and I was completely invested in how things would work out in her life. I found this coming-of-age […]

I had a great time with this book! I read Falon Ballard’s first two books last year and enjoyed them both so I was excited to get my hands on this new novel. I am happy to report that this book was another winner. I liked Emmy and Greyson and thought that they had wonderful […]

Oh, I loved this! Ada and Wes were wonderful characters and had sizzling chemistry with each other right out of the gate. It was fun watching them try to keep things professional when it was obvious that it was just a matter of time before they finally admitted that they felt more for one another. […]

My feelings are somewhat mixed when it comes to this book and I am still trying to figure out what I think about everything. There were things that I really liked about the story and I was very eager to find out who was really behind the murders, both in the past and the present. […]

This was fantastic! I am a huge fan of Kelley Armstrong’s writing and the characters featured in the Rockton/Haven’s Rock series hold a special place in my heart. I know this is listed as the second book in the Haven’s Rock series, but that series is just a continuation of the Rockton series, so I […]

I had a great time with this one! Murder seems to be following Ernest – this time the bodies are piling up on a train! Ernest is part of a mystery writer festival aboard the Ghan and we are introduced to a quirky group of characters early on. It didn’t take long before I was […]

This was a fantastic book! I have wanted to read S.T. Gibson’s work for a while and am so glad that I picked up this book. I am a sucker for dark academia and when you add vampires to the mix, this book became a must-read. Once I started reading this book, I didn’t want […]

This was good! When I saw comparisons to The Bird Box, I was a bit worried since I was not a big fan of that book but this one worked well for me. I couldn’t imagine what it would have been like to live in the world these characters must navigate. I didn’t want to stop […]
