Review: He Will Be My Ruin by K.A. Tucker
This is Tucker’s first thriller and I certainly hope it won’t be her last! I was captivated by the beginning, immediately invested in uncovering what lead to Celine’s death. The story is told through Maggie’s point of view, but also … Continue reading
Review: If I Forget You by Thomas Christopher Greene
I adored Greene’s previous novel, The Headmaster’s Wife. When I learned he’d penned another novel I was thrilled beyond belief. Unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations. The Headmaster’s Wife was full of intensity, a novel I referred to in my review as “a … Continue reading

Review: My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix
Hendrix is known most recently for his book Horrorstör, a horror story set in, of all places, an IKEA. I found it to be quite quirky and fun, so when I heard about his most recent book, I knew I had to … Continue reading

Review: Girls on Fire by Robin Wasserman
As I read the final pages of this book, all the expletives came flowing from me. That’s not a complaint, it’s praise. Never did I imagine or predict what control and power this title held over me. I found myself … Continue reading

Review: Wilde Lake by Laura Lippman
A long time fan of Lippman’s work, I respect how her thrillers not only revolve around a mysterious crime or death, but also have a flavor of social commentary. In this case, she reflects upon mental illness, the treatment of … Continue reading
Review: Roses and Rot by Kat Howard
It was rather hard to write a summary of this book without giving much away. Thankfully, much of these is revealed in the early parts of the book. It’s been some time since I’ve immersed myself into urban fantasy. This … Continue reading
