  • The Only One Who Knows by Lisa M. Matlin

    The Only One Who Knows by Lisa M. Matlin

    2 Stars How was this book written by the same author as The Stranger Upstairs? I loved that book but this was beyond a struggle to get through. The plot felt like it jumped all over the place and for a shorter book it felt endless. The writing itself wasn’t…

  • Turn Off the Light by Jacquie Walters

    Turn Off the Light by Jacquie Walters

    5 Stars I knew I loved this author’s work after reading Dearest but she is now one of my favorite authors, this was insanely good. Her writing style is so gripping and captivating, I flew through this in a day. The setting to both stories was eerie but also enjoyable…

    Sweetside Motel by E.L. Chen

    5 Stars For such a short book this really packed a punch and I really, really enjoyed this. The writing style was beautiful and captivating and I absolutely loved the Norman Bates vibes. The twists did shock me and make me gasp and that ending was fantastic. The only complaint…

  • A Sweet Sting of Salt by Rose Sutherland

    A Sweet Sting of Salt by Rose Sutherland

    1 Star I’m sorry but this was one of the worst books I’ve ever read. I don’t understand what the point of it was, what even was the plot? Just a lady constantly worried about the woman she loved? If that’s the case this book could have been 100 pages…

  • Hate by Tate James

    Hate by Tate James

    2 Stars I’m not even sure how to put into words how much I disliked this book. I went into it with an open mind but right off the bat the writing was terrible, it felt like it was written by a high schooler. The characters and some of their…

    What Feasts At Night by T. Kingfisher

    4 Stars Oh my gosh I love Alex so much, I laugh while reading these books even though they should be freaking me out. Which don’t get me wrong, they definitely do. I love how descriptive her writing is, it draws me into the short story and makes it fly…

  • Finders Keepers by Natalie Barelli

    Finders Keepers by Natalie Barelli

    3 Stars I wish this book had been able to keep the unhinged momentum going because wow, the beginning and into the middle of this was insane. I love a book about an unhinged female and I thought I was going to love this book. Unfortunately once I predicted every…

  • And Now, Back to You by B.K. Borison

    And Now, Back to You by B.K. Borison

    3 Stars This wasn’t my favorite by this author but luckily I enjoy weather so this wasn’t a terrible read for me. While it was super cute at times and I enjoyed the family problems that both of the characters had, something about the author’s romance irks me at times.…

    Run On Red by Noelle W. Ihli

    4 Stars Wow, wow, wow, this was intense. This was my first book by this author and I was hooked from the very beginning. It started with a bang and never let up, it was so fast-paced I was flying through and before I knew it, I was at the…

    Bloodfire, Baby by Eirinie Carson

    4 Stars This book embodied motherhood with a newborn so so well, wow, I was a little surprised by how much I really enjoyed this book. The cover is god awful in my opinion so I didn’t have the highest hopes but this was so good. I loved the beginning…
