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 →

Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter, 3 Stars
I've had a not-so-amazing day today. Don't you hate when that happens? I've been fighting a cold all week and it just escalated last night. So this morning I was already not feeling amazing and didn't get the best sleep as I could barely breathe out of my nose and my husband was similarly afflicted...and... Continue Reading →
The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker, 4 Stars
The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker is exactly what I want from a sleepy Sunday afternoon read.
The Suspect by Fiona Barton, 3.5 Stars
Whenever I think of Thailand and teenagers, I think of Brokedown Palace. The ultimate "be careful traveling internationally" story. You know, Claire Danes--fresh off of My So Called Life fame--and Kate Beckingsale are teen girls vacationing in Thailand when they fall into a trap with a cute boy who uses them to transport drugs without...

The Perfect Liar by Thomas Christopher Greene, 4 Stars
By the time you read this review, I will be finished with my Christmas shopping!!!! I hope. Because right now it's November and instead of starting it or thinking of it, I spent the afternoon reading The Perfect Liar by Thomas Christopher Greene. Wow, another author I was blown away by and then realized after... Continue Reading →
My Sister, The Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite, 4 Stars
Sometimes you need to read something that's a little dark. Or should I say sometimes I need to read something that's a little dark? Because really, there is a lot in life that isn't sunshine and roses. I guess I could see how someone might choose to just read romance or chick-lit to escape it... Continue Reading →
