  • 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…

  • When You Get the Chance by Emma Lord

    When You Get the Chance by Emma Lord

    5 STARS My heart has never felt so full after finishing a book.  I loved this book so much, Millie is now one of my favorite book characters of all time.  I laughed with her, cried with her, and could relate so much to her outgoing personality.  This was such a wholesome, loving…

  • Trouble Girls by Julia Lynn Rubin

    Trouble Girls by Julia Lynn Rubin

    3 STARS This book started out pretty fast paced and crazy. I was immediately drawn into the premise of a sapphic book loosely based on a Thelma and Louise retelling. I was riveted once the big event happened and could not stop reading and couldn’t put this book down. But…

  • Such A Quiet Place by Megan Miranda

    Such A Quiet Place by Megan Miranda

    3 Stars I was immediately intrigued by the synopsis of this book and the beginning did hook me in with its high intensity and then slow burn but then I became pretty bored with this book. The story telling was a little monotone compared to the high tension beginning. Overall…
