  • The Book of Blood and Roses by Annie Summerlee

    3 Stars I think I set my expectations way to high with this book whether it was from the gorgeous cover or the premise but it let me down. I was really into the story at the beginning and was liking the writing but then I found myself growing bored. I wish the story had…

  • Is This A Cry for Help? by Emily Austin

    3 Stars While I didn’t really vibe with the author’s writing style I did appreciate how much I learned from it especially about libraries. I loved the main character so much and honestly wanted to give her a hug. There were parts of the story that I enjoyed more than others but overall it wasn’t…

  • A Killer Kind of Romance by Letizia Lorini

    5 Stars I’m not sure how to put into words how much I loved this book. I was hooked from the very beginning and could not put this down. I loved how bookish Scarlett was and all of her adorable quirks that reminded me so much of myself. I loved the podcast and how the…

  • This Is Not A Test by Courtney Summers

    2 Stars Sadly I’m starting to think this author was a one-hit wonder for me since I haven’t enjoyed any of her books since Sadie. I understand this is YA but the constant petty bickering in the group was driving me insane and so many parts of this story felt unnecessary to me. I was…

  • Hollow by Celina Myers

    Hollow by Celina Myers

    3 Stars Just once I would love to read a vampire book that didn’t reference Twilight or The Vampire Diaries. That aside I did like this book at the very beginning but the mediocre writing grew worse the more I read. Also most of the characters acted like high schoolers which threw me off a…

  • Wildwoode by Jessica Thorne

    Wildwoode by Jessica Thorne

    4 Stars I knew based off of the cover and the premise that I was going to love this book and I was right. The setting and the paranormal elements immediately sucked me in and made this book impossible to put down. Then the romance started and I was a goner. I loved the Irish…

  • The Storm by Rachel Hawkins

    4 Stars While this wasn’t my favorite thriller by this author, it was still really enjoyable to read. This was very fast paced and I love thriller books that are centered around storms. I love how much this book had me questioning things and the twists really got me, I didn’t see them all coming.…

  • The Castaways by Lucy Clarke

    3 Stars I’m pretty sure this is the first book I’ve read by this author and it felt like a pretty meh thriller to me. I can appreciate all of the similarities to the movie Castaway but it felt like a lot of big buildup to a lackluster ending. I do feel like this book…

  • The Missing Half by Ashley Flowers

    My first book by this author and wow, it did not disappoint. I was drawn in immediately by the main character who was battling so many demons after her sister disappeared. I felt bad for her for probably 80% of the book. You’ll understand why I stopped feeling bad for her after you read this.…

  • The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose

    It’s been awhile since I read The Perfect Marriage so I had forgotten some of the plot points and twists but dang, Miss Jeneva Rose knows how to write a good thriller. Even without rereading the first book I wasn’t at all confused going into the second one thanks to the little information tidbits sprinkled…
