Once I was invested in the characters, things really started to get interesting for me and the pages started turning faster and faster.
Anything for You by Saul Black, 3.5 Stars
The Stranger Inside by Lisa Unger, 4 Stars
This book was good. Like cancel your Saturday night plans, pour a big glass of red wine and dig in type of good.
The Doll Factory by Elizabeth Macneal, 3 Stars
This story definitely feels a bit dark, gothic, and the tone harkens to Dicken's books or Madame Bovary
After the End by Clare Mackintosh, 5 Stars
After the End. It has ALL the feels. Perfect for any masochist looking for a good summer read.
Man of the Year by Caroline Lewis Walker, 3.5 Stars
Walker really gets inside the head of Dr. Hart, showcasing both his narcissim and deep insecurities all the same time.
Me for You by Lolly Winston, 3.5 Stars
Grief is hard to live with, but it's also a huge part of living.
The Woman Inside by E.G. Scott, 3.5 Stars
This one got great reviews, Entertainment Weekly ran an incredible review, and this one is even slated to become a TV series with the same production company that made Sharp Objects, my latest obsession.
You Don’t Own Me by Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke, 4 Stars
Reading a Mary Higgins Clark book is like slipping into an old, worn sweater.
Watching You by Lisa Jewell, 4 Stars
Watching You is a quick read, mostly because you won't be able to stop turning the pages furiously, with lots of satisfying twists and turns.
Best Day Ever by Kaira Rouda 4 stars
Today I'm reviewing Best Day Ever by Kaira Rouda. I was intrigued by the description of the book. Of course, when something is supposed to be the "best day ever", it's clear from the beginning it won't be. It'll probably be the worst day ever for someone. This book is definitely dark. And it's one... Continue Reading →
The Breakdown by B.A. Paris
I already had this galley on my Kindle, ready to go, when I attended a Mary Kubica book event at my local library. She recommended The Breakdown as a great title for her fans, so of course I had to run home and immediately begin reading it. I was fighting to keep my eyes open,... Continue Reading →
Every Last Lie
I'm kind of excited for my very first blog to be a review on Every Last Lie by Mary Kubica. Let me explain. This is her 4th book, and every single one has been amazing! She is also a local author and although I have never met her, I can claim that some of my... Continue Reading →
**Official Blog Tour** The Last Affair by Margot Hunt, 3.5 Stars
Margot Hunt captures that messiness perfectly in The Last Affair.
Reputation by Sara Shepard, 4 Stars
Shepard brings the same type of dark intrigue, mystery and deception to Reputation as she did to her famous Pretty Little Liars series.
The Dead Girls Club by Damien Angelica Walters, 4 Stars.
If you liked Stand By Me, or IT, or just plain have nostalgia for the days when we would tell scary stories around a campfire--or a well in the backyard, check this one out.
The Secrets We Kept by Laura Prescott, 4 Stars
A rich tale that was reminiscent of The Americans and Mad Men all wrapped up into one engrossing package.
The Nanny by Gilly McMillan, 3.5 Stars
In The Nanny, we meet The Holt Family. They are the richest, most important family in a small town, or at least they were in the 1980's.
The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell, 5 Stars
The Family Upstairs was dark, brooding, shocking at times and a hell of a read.
Fishnet by Kirsten Innes, 3.5 stars
I love the premise for this book and I think it's definitely a strong debut from Kirstin Innes.
The Poison Garden by A.J.Banner, 3.5 Stars
A.J. Banner keeps the twists and turns coming from cover to cover.
