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

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

Lost You by Haylen Beck, 3.5 Stars
Lost You is a solid thriller with some inventive twists I didn't see coming.
Keeping Lucy by T. Greenwood, 4 Stars
When I picked up Keeping Lucy, I was intrigued by the story. It's a work of fiction, but like many conceived books, was inspired by true life events. I knew that often times in the past, developmentally delayed or handicapped children were placed in state-run homes because it was deemed that it would be too... Continue Reading →
Lady in the Lake by Laura Lippman, 4 Stars
The writing feels dark, the characters dapple in the forbidden, and the result is a deeply satisfying mystery.
One Little Secret by Cate Holahan, 3.5 Stars
I would recommend to fans of Jessica Strawser and David Bell.
A Stranger on the Beach by Michelle Campbell, 3 Stars
Michelle Campbell has found a very secure place on my list of authors who release a book a year and the book is never a disappointment. Last year I reviewed She Was the Quiet One and I really loved it. It capitalized on two notoriously creepy things--twins and boarding school. This year, she is releasing... Continue Reading →
Lock Every Door by Riley Sager, 4 Stars
It's easy to find mystery lurking behind every corner in a super old, mysterious building with a speckled past.
