Why did I wait so long to read this book? Sarina Bowen is one of my favorite romance writers so it was a given that I would need to read her debut thriller. And it was excellent! I was drawn into this story immediately. I couldn’t imagine receiving a text from someone no longer living. […]

I liked this book. It is a weird book, bizarre. I like weird stories so that worked out just fine for me but this may not be everyone’s cup of tea. I started reading a print copy of the book and reached a point where I was hooked and decided to grab a copy of […]

This was fantastic! I fell in love with Tiffany McDaniels’s writing after reading her debut novel, The Summer That Melted Everything. I couldn’t wait to see what she would do with a middle-grade novel and I am happy to report that it is everything I hoped it would be. This magical, whimsical tale should appeal […]

This was a great book! I always seem to enjoy myself when I pick up one of Jill Shalvis’s books. She can create characters that you can’t help but love and feel like family. That is exactly how I felt about this book. Anna, Owen, and Wendy were all amazing and I was quickly invested […]

This was great! I have become a huge fan of Kelley Armstrong’s writing. I am impressed that she can tackle just about any genre and does it well. I was excited to learn she had a new horror novel coming since I loved her previous one, Hemlock Island. I wasn’t scared by this book but […]

This was great! I have been a fan of this series for a long time so it was great to pick up this newest installment. While this book is part of a long-running series, I think that it would work perfectly well as a stand-alone since the mystery is fully contained in this novel. I […]
