  • The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth

    The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth

    4 Stars I have massively enjoyed Sally Hepworth’s books in the past and this one was my favorite by far.  She did an amazing job with the individual mental illnesses and portrayed them flawlessly and without them being problematic. I loved how both of the twin sisters in the books…

  • These Deadly Games by Diana Urban

    These Deadly Games by Diana Urban

    3 Stars I’ve never read anything else by this author before so I have nothing to compare her writing to but the writing style wasn’t bad. Maybe I’m getting too old for the young adult variety of thrillers but this one was a little too out there and farfetched for…

  • Down Comes the Night by Allison Saft

    Down Comes the Night by Allison Saft

    5 Stars It has taken me entirely too long to read this book and I regret not having finishing it sooner. The romance, the suspense, the magic was all written so well and immediately hooked me from the beginning. It had all the vibes of a gothic, disturbing read which…

  • Woman Last Seen by Adele Parks

    Woman Last Seen by Adele Parks

    2 Stars Once again I’m disappointed by an Adele Parks book, no one is surprised.  And please don’t think that I go into these books expecting not to like them, I really do go in with an open mind and hope that I will enjoy it. The story follows Leigh…

  • The Overnight Guest by Heather Gudenkauf

    The Overnight Guest by Heather Gudenkauf

    4 Stars My first book by this author that I’ve read and it definitely didn’t disappoint. This had so many gasping, jaw-dropping moments that kept my attention the whole time and had me desperate to know what was going to happen next. The story follows three different timelines; one follows…

  • The Drowning Kind by Jennifer McMahon

    The Drowning Kind by Jennifer McMahon

    5 Stars This book was mind-blowing, soul churning, and left me gasping kind of book.  It was creepy, atmospheric, and haunting and I could not put it down. This book is told in two different timelines; one is in 2019 that follows Jax who misses nine calls from her sister…

  • The Ex-Husband by Karen Hamilton

    The Ex-Husband by Karen Hamilton

    3 Stars This is the third or fourth Karen Hamilton book I’ve read and while I gave her first book five stars, I’ve rated every book after that pretty low.  This book was all right, not as good as her first book but better than the others I have read. …

  • Must Love Books by Shauna Robinson

    Must Love Books by Shauna Robinson

    5 Stars This was exactly the book I needed to read right now.  I love books about books theme, they’re some of my favorite books to read because the character in the book is just as obsessed with books as I am. Nora Hughes has been working the same job…

  • Dark Roads by Chevy Stevens

    Dark Roads by Chevy Stevens

    5 STARS I’m pretty sure this is my favorite book of 2021, hands down.  As I’ve read all of Chevy Steven’s other books, I can confidently say this is also my favorite book of hers. This was a dark, depressing, disturbing story told by two traumatized young girls that will…

  • Goblin by Josh Malerman

    Goblin by Josh Malerman

    4 STARS Ya’ll, this book was spooky. Like, actually scared me a little bit and made me regret reading this in the dark. This book contains a collection of short stories all set in the fictional, creepy town of Goblin. The intensity amps up in every story and they all…
