Review: The Last Flight by Julie Clark

It’s been a while since I’ve written a review.  Not because I haven’t read anything, but nothing lately has jumped out at me and screamed “Now this is a book I want to talk about!” Apologies in advance for all … Continue reading

Review: You Let Me In by Camilla Bruce

When I started reading this book, I had no idea what I was getting into.  The cover is dark and pretty ominous.  The premise alludes to a dark and deadly past.  A story within a story, which is to believed? … Continue reading

Review: Little Secrets by Jennifer Hillier

No one does psychological thrillers like Hillier! This is the sixth title of hers I’ve read and loved!  She’s done it again; I think she can’t possibly top her last book but this one…this one most certainly tops them all. … Continue reading

Review: The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix

Whoah!! I’m a fan of Hendrix’s books (I’ve read every one of them) but this one quickly rose to the top as a favorite.  Toted as Dracula meets Steel Magnolias or Fried Green Tomatoes, it really is the most unique of vampire tales.  Hendrix took … Continue reading

Review: Darling Rose Gold by Stephanie Wrobel

What a completely twisty read! The format (alternating chapters from the point of views of Patty and Rose Gold) really add to the tension, for the reader follows both women from the past to the present, Patty focusing on repairing … Continue reading

Review: Middlegame by Seanan McGuire

Strange premise, yes.  Honestly, I don’t think I’ve read anything like this, and that is what makes this book so tremendous.  McGuire consistently takes her readers on whirlwind ride in her books, forcing them to suspend disbelief and put trust … Continue reading

Review: The Chain by Adrian McKinty

So….I usually avoid the books everyone is talking about, not wanting to have my opinion tainted by others.  In this case, however, I couldn’t resist. It called to me from my Kindle. I devoured it in one sitting. The premise … Continue reading

Review: Lock Every Door by Riley Sager

If you haven’t read this author’s previous work (Final Girls, The Last Time I Lied) you really need to get on it!  Sager excels at crafting characters you can’t fully trust with…questionable backgrounds. I’m usually could at solving endings but … Continue reading

Review: Recursion by Blake Crouch

My summary just touches the surface of the enormity Crouch has crafted in this truly complex techno-thriller. Any in-depth exploration of what transpires is certain to spoil the reading experience, one that will quite literally twist and distort anything and … Continue reading
