In Five Years – Review

Many thanks to Netgalley and Atria Books for the chance to read this novel early. It’s no secret I love mindbending books that play with the concept of time. As soon as I read the blurb for this one, I knew I would be bumping it to the top of my to be read list….

After the Rain – Review

“When we’re young, we want so badly to connect with others that we end up reflecting them, losing ourselves in the process.” I continued my Renee Carlino marathon with After the Rain, and like every book of Renee’s, I devoured this in no time. In many of her books, Renee dives deep into the grief…

The Last Post – Review

BLURB: See you on the other side. Laya Marston’s husband, Cameron, a daredevil enthusiast, always said this before heading off on his next adventure. He was the complete opposite of her, ready and willing to dive off a cliff-face, or parachute across a canyon—and Laya loved him for it. But she was different: pragmatic, regimented,…

SAY YOU STILL LOVE ME BY K.A. TUCKER  “Tucker skillfully builds both romantic tension and suspense, and delivers an immensely satisfying conclusion in this stellar page-turner.” – Publishers Weekly MY THOUGHTS: K.A.

I Miss You When I Blink – Review

I decided to pick up I Miss You When I Blink with one of my Libro.fm credits and I’m so glad I did. I love listening to audiobooks narrated by the author because it allows readers to catch all of the inflections and the tone behind the words on the page. It makes the reading…

Daisy Jones & the Six – Review

Many thanks to BookSparks, Random House, and Netgalley for the chance to read this book in advance. This book is cool. Bottom line, just cool. Classic Rock is my favorite musical genre. It’s nostalgic, I grew up listening to Heart, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, and Fleetwood Mac, among others. Even today, songs by these artists never…

The Simple Wild – Review

I think the Texas heat has made my obsession with Alaska come to a head this summer. I have been religiously watching Alaska State Troopers and have been eager to read or watch anything Alaskan-related lately. Thanks to Atria Publishing, my obsession was able to continue when I received the ARC of The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker through…

Tell Me Lies – Review

Thank you to Atria and Netgalley for the chance to read and review this novel. I will rarely be recorded saying this, and I know I will be in a very small majority, but I absolutely hated this book. It hurts me to say something so negative about a debut novel, but I just could…

Anatomy of a Scandal – Review

Thank you to Netgalley and Atria/Emily Bestler Books for allowing a copy of this novel for review.  It’s all we hear of lately in the news, a dirty word, a word that makes us dig deep and examine how we feel about the people committing the act, and the victims left behind. Rape. It’s a…

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…

Maybe in Another Life – Review

Do you know what direction your life is going? Do you feel as if you have a choice? Coincidentally, many of the books I’ve been picking up lately have featured a heroine in her late twenties still trying to get her life together. Is God trying to tell me something? Despite feeling this way myself…

Lucian Divine – Review

I was anxiously awaiting the release of Lucian Divine since the cover reveal late last year. This book sounded so different and inventive to me- I couldn’t wait! After reading Swear on this Life earlier in 2016, I knew Renee could tug on my heartstrings in the best possible way. First, I have to say the creativity of this…

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,…

Swear on This Life – Review

“We can’t always control our circumstances, who our parents are, where we live, or how much money we make, but in those rare moments when we can shape our fate, when we do have the power to make our own happiness, we can’t be too scared to do it.” Books, like Swear on this Life, are…
