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. It has ALL the feels. Perfect for any masochist looking for a good summer read.

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 →

Searching for Sylvia Lee is the best kind of literary mystery....It's mysterious, thoughtful, surprising and tragic.
The Other People, CJ Tudor, 4 Stars
There's a type of dreamy, mysterious aura in a CJ Tudor book. It's a great feeling to wrap yourself in like a warm blanket as you read her books.
The Look-Alike by Erica Spindler, 3.5 Stars
Sienna returning home is like the return of the prodigal daughter. She was her parent's golden girl, in the time before her childhood fell apart.
The Third Rainbow Girl by Emma Copley Eisenberg, 3 Stars
True crime is a genre I've been reading for along time, possibly even back to junior high? I'm an avid watcher of Dateline and sometimes 48 Hour Mysteries, but I just can't make myself watch 20/20. There's just something about it that is not good. Of course, like any good "murderino," I listen to My... Continue Reading →
The Better Liar by Tanen Jones, 3 Stars
Leslie is a complicated character from the first page. There's just a huge disconnect between who she appears to be and who she really is.
Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano, 5 Stars
There are a handful of books that stand out for me. Books that I will remember for the rest of the my life. Books that I wish I could go back and read again for the first time...Dear Edward is one of those books.
