When you're looking for a scary good read!
Today it snowed. I know it snows sometimes in April in the midwest. But I've always thought of these types of weather events this far into spring as freak weather. Except this is not the first time it has snowed this week, nor will it be the last. It's supposed to snow on Monday. As... Continue Reading →
The first time I picked up Clare Mackintosh's first book, I Let You Go, I read the first chapter, and put it down. Nope! It starts out with a small boy getting killed in a hit and run. And with 3 small boys of my own, it just wasn't a plot I could stomach. Then... Continue Reading →
It's a snow day here in the suburbs of Chicago--and the city itself for that matter. At first this morning, I was underwhelmed. They had predicted 8-12 inches with 9 inches by morning. I woke up to 5. But the snow was also supposed to stop sometime this morning and it's been snowing pretty steadily... Continue Reading →
Just a couple more days until Christmas a I'm finding it so hard to find time to just sit down and read. There is a giant stack of presents I need to wrap, cookies to decorate, kids to entertain. I know its the most wonderful time of the year, but it's exhausting! I've been reading... Continue Reading →
So, I have a confession to make. This is one of the first books I requested from Netgalley when I started my blog. And I whipped through the book in a couple days and wrote my review...then realized I wasn't supposed to post until a month before the pub date. So I've been sitting on... Continue Reading →
I'm a really big Karin Slaughter fan. I loved her Grant County and Will Trent series and if you read my blog (granted, I'm not sure anyone actually does!) you will know I am not a huge series fan in general. But Pretty Girls, her last standalone was so so good. I really enjoyed that... Continue Reading →
Sometimes I feel like I inadvertently get on a theme. The last book I reviewed was about a former high school "it girl" who turned up dead. Now this one is about a girl who, approaching her 25 year high school reunion, is contacted by a girl that literally did not make it out of... Continue Reading →
In unrelated to book (but related to the suspense category) news, I finally watched the first episode of Gypsy yesterday. For anyone who hasn't heard of the show it's a Netflix original starring Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup (yum!). I'd seen the promos but didn't realize that its a psychological thriller. So, yesterday when I... Continue Reading →
I picked Final Girls as my July 2017 Book of the Month Selection and I was super excited about it. Of course then a bunch of books came in at the library so I had to push it back a bit, but I finally finished it a couple days ago. But this book seemed so... Continue Reading →
J.T. Ellison is a prolific writer. She has written 17 books, most of which are psychological thriller series books. I haven't read her series work, but I fell in love with her writing when I picked up No One Knows last year. I loved that book. It's definitely in my top 5 from 2016 and... Continue Reading →
