House of Shadows – Review
Thank you to Netgalley and Harlequin: Graydon House for providing an ARC for review. They say not to judge a book by its cover, but the beautiful cover of House of Shadows immediately caught my attention, making me want this book in my hands. The image alone could sell the book without the interesting blurb or story…
How I Lost You – Review
Thank you to Atria/Emily Bestler books and Netgalley for the chance to review this exciting novel. Let me just say, it’s a good thing I didn’t have a paperback copy of this book because I wouldn’t have been able to turn the pages fast enough. Books like How I Lost You are the reason I love…

The Wildling Sisters – Review
Let me tell you now, folks, The Wildling Sisters by Eve Chase is a summer release you are going to want to pick up. This book captivated me from the very first page. It begins in 1959 at Applecote Manor in Cotswolds, England with the Wilde sisters dragging a body through the landscape. This haunting tale combines…
It’s Always the Husband – Review
It’s Always the Husband was a page flippin’ contradiction for me. There were parts I loved and thought were clever and parts I hated. My feelings were similar to the traits and relationships of the characters themselves. Aubrey, Kate, and Jenny come from different worlds, placed together as roommates in their first year of college. Looking…
The Perfect Stranger – Review
Thank you to Simon & Schuster along with Megan Miranda for providing an advanced copy to review. I think I may have been at an advantage reading The Perfect Stranger as my first Megan Miranda book. The reviews for All the Missing Girls are raving, making fans wonder if The Perfect Stranger can live up to the hype. Since…
The Wife Between Us – Review
Thanks to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for the chance to read and review this novel! Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen are about to be household names in the realm of powerhouse women authors.

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer – Review
I have wanted to read The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer for SIX years, people. Before I found Goodreads, before book blogging, before I owned a smartphone, and gasp…even before I knew what the letters TBR stood for. This length of time feels like an eternity in the book world. But alas, I have finally crossed this one…
The Ghostwriter – Review
Many thanks to Netgalley and Alessandra Torre for providing an ARC for review.I’m just going to come right out and say it — you need to buy this book! Right now. Only 12% of the books I read make it to my “favorites” shelf on Goodreads, and The Ghostwriter by Alessandra Torre immediately made the list. This is my…
13 Minutes – Review
Thank you to Flatiron Books and Netgalley for providing an ARC for review. Sarah Pinborough boasts two of my favorite things: she is a masterful writer and she’s British. When I saw the opportunity to read 13 Minutes, her upcoming American release, I knew I had to have it. I enjoy reading YA contemporary romance from…
The Other Girl – Review
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for the chance to review The Other Girl! Erica Spindler can spin one heck of a story (pun intended)! This was a gripping page-turner I couldn’t put down. Miranda Radar is a detective for her local police department investigating an ugly crime of passion against a revered college…
Girl in Snow – Review
Heavy, complex, and deeply human. I’d like to thank Simon and Schuster Publishing and Netgalley for the chance to review Girl in Snow by Danya Kukafka. This novel was written with such a vivid realism that I felt as if I was intruding on the thoughts of the characters. At times, I found myself struggling to deal…
The Evolution of Ivy: Poison – Review
Bad. Bad. BAD….but so GOOD. The Evolution of Ivy: Poison is an addicting debut novel from Lauren Campbell. The main character, Ivy, is a tormented young girl enduring an endlessly painful life. “I scurry to the back of the classroom, making eye contact with no one, and take my seat. New outfits, fresh haircuts, and confidence…
The Red Hunter – Review
Thank you to Touchstone: Simon and Schuster, along with the author, for providing an advanced copy to review. My first book by Lisa Unger sucked me in and wouldn’t let me go. I’ve had Ink and Bone on my TBR, even planning to read it earlier this month, but didn’t have the time to start it. I’m…
The Girl on the Train – Review
Originally published in 2016. The Girl on the Train is one of the biggest recent releases of the past two years and now a major motion picture to boot. It’s hard to believe this is the debut novel of Paula Hawkins since it hit almost instant fame. The main character, Rachel, rides the same train every…
He Will Be My Ruin – Review
He Will Be My Ruin was my first K.A. Tucker book and has been sitting on my TBR pile for most of this year. Normally when I begin a book by reading the prologue, it leaves my mind until the topic is brought up again later in the book. Not this time! Throughout my reading,…
